Beach Boy Bingo

Episode Number: 28    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Friday November 18, 1988    Prod Code: n/a
Danny is elated when the Beach Boys are slated to appear on his talk show, and with a musical group as timeless as this one, it’s not difficult for the entire Tanner household to get in the spirit. Everyone is disappointed to learn that the guys must cancel their guest visit, but when DJ participates in a little telephone contest, she is suddenly the lucky winner of a couple Beach Boys concert tickets! Unfortunately, with five eager family members and only one extra ticket, the stress of choosing someone may be too much for this 12-year-old to handle—that is, unless the legendary Mike Love and the gang can do something about it…..

Notes

add »
The segment in which the Tanners join the Beach Boys on stage was filmed during an actual concert. It is why the arena went wild upon the introduction, since Full House, in it's second season was already a very well known show, the standing ovation was directed at the cast. (edit)
This was the first time The Beach Boys were ever seen on Full House. But they also appeared in other episodes, where they had to perform. (edit)

Quotes

add »
(Joey tries to convince Jesse to give a tape of their jingle to the Beach Boys while in the limo)
Jesse: A, don't call me dude. B, it's a dumb idea and 2, I don't have a tape! (edit)
DJ: (to Danny) You like the Beach Boys. I like the Beach Boys. We both like the same group? I must be getting old! (edit)
Danny: What the heck is this? (takes a toy dinosaur out of his mouth)
Stephanie: That can't be my giant glow-in-the-dark dinosaur! It looks more like a dino-shrimp. (edit)

Trivia

add »
At the end of the episode the Beach Boys said something like "Hello San Francisco" but it was obvious that the concert was in the La Coliseum In Los Angeles. (edit)
In this episode when Jesse was talking to Danny, Jesse asked Danny what Michelle’s first word was trying to make a point that he is important to the girls and when he replies that Michelle’s first word was cookie Jesse says that after cookie she looked up at him and said 'da-da' which is not how it happened according to the 'Daddy's Home' episode. Michelle was in her crib when she said 'da-da' to him. (edit)
At the end of this episode all the family was invited and able to go up on stage with the Beach Boys, but where is Michelle? You see Danny, Joey, Jesse, DJ, and Stephanie, but no one is holding Michelle in their arms nor holding her hand while singing.
RE: Presumably she's with a babysitter. (edit)

Allusions

add »
The title of this episode alludes to "Beach Blanket Bingo," the 1965 movie with Frankie and Annette. (edit)
