America's Funniest Home Videos Reunion

The cast has a mini-reunion on the set of America's Funniest Home Videos, which is hosted by Bog Saget, who played Danny Tanner on Full House.

Aired: 05/09/97

Show Summary

Full House ran for eight seasons and was one of the few primetime sitcoms to have more than 190 episodes. Early in its run, Full House received awful reviews for being too "cheesy," but it still became a popular favorite with audiences, even as the reviews remained negative throughout its run. More Set in San Francisco, this is a show about a very loving family headed by Danny Tanner, who became a single father when his wife, Pam Tanner, was killed in a car accident. Pam's brother Jesse, and Danny's best friend Joey Gladstone moved into the house to help Danny raise his three daughters D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. Although Full House ended in 1995, with syndication, kids are still growing up with the Tanners just like millions did when the show first started.

    I really like Michelle, especially when she is younger. She is just so cute and funny.

  • Possible Flub on show

    Hi, I found what might be a possible flub on this show. I'm watching the reruns of this and notice it but when the show first airs jesse's last name is Cochran but then later on in the show his last name is Kasopolis. Is this a flub or at some point in the show does he change his name?

    The show focuses on a widowed man named Danny Tanner, who has three daughters named Stephanie, DJ, and Michelle. He gets his best friend Joey and his brother-in-law Jesse to help him raise his daughters. hide show

    This is my favorite TV show of all time. Danny Tanner (Saget)- The clean obsessed dad, he is a former sportscaster but now a talk show host. He always knows exactly how to parent his kids, but sometimes has trouble letting them grow up.

    Joey Gladstone (Coulier)- Danny's best friend, he's a young comedian who is a great impressionist. He worked with Jesse in an advertising company, but later got a role on his own TV show.

    Jesse Katsopolis (Stamos)- Danny's brother-in-law, he has great hair and is proud of it. He is a rising musician who even gets his own record deal. The kids all love him because he's so nice and funny to them, and because he loves kids.

    DJ Tanner (Cameron-Bure)- The oldest Tanner girl, she gets into trouble sometimes and always tries to get out of it on her own, which leads to more trouble.

    Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin)- My favorite character, she is the middle child. She never seems to get her way, but she is adorable and soooo cute. She has a catchphrase of "How Rude!" whenever someone says something kind of mean about her.

    Michelle Tanner (Olsen)- The youngest Tanner girl, she is always "babied" by Danny. She is very troublesome and has a lot of cute lines that everyone loves.

    That's about the cast. This show is really great, I wish there were more like it. TV needs some family comedies with good lessons and a bit of drama like Full House.

    Overral, I rank it an A+, my favorite show and my sister's too.

    It's a very special and interesting family show that deserves more credit than it usually seems to receive. hide show

    First of all I'd like to say that I seem to have a totally different opinion about Full House than most other people and so also different reasons for liking it. I think it's a great show and the main problem with it seems to be that it's mainly known nowadays for being "corny". Aside from the fact that the main alternative would be shows with unnecessary violence or other things that some people like to see on TV for some reason, the show is having simply great family storylines that often attempt to teach some sort of lesson and I can't really see where's the harm in that. Of course it might seem corny if you're already biased against family shows, but then I don't really understand why you would be watching it in the first place. The only thing that sort of annoyed me about that was that the only time when the show used background music were those episode endings. That sort of emphasized it, I guess.

    Now to the actual show. The main reason I think I have a different view to it is the fact that I discovered it quite recently. Although I caught some episodes in 2005 (which itself was already 10 years after the show ended), it was only because I decided to check it out because of Mary-Kate and Ashley as I was (and sort of still am) a fan of their acting, but I didn't really pay attention to Full House back then. I started to watch it again in fall 2009 with more focus on the show in general (as opposed to viewing it as just another one of the Olsens' projects) and I discovered that it has lots of different aspects that I have never seen in any other show.

    The main thing that amazes me about Full House is that it, at least in my opinion, stayed consistently good and on the same level in all of its 8 season run and sort of adapted when the kids got older. Most other shows that I like have (at least to some degree) become worse in later seasons and most of them have very few seasons, unlike this one. Also the jokes for the most part were really funny, I think the show had sort of its own specific sense of humor and also a lot of running gags which I tend to like. All the child actors were exceptional and fit their parts perfectly, I especially liked Jodie Sweetin's performance as Stephanie. And it's also interesting to see a that a lot of producers and writers who I already know from several newer projects were involved with this show.

    So, it's definitely one of my favorite shows. It has lots of qualities that people tend to overlook and in general I think it's a great family show.

    Meh. hide show

    I hate how unrealistic and corny this show is, and it pretty much always ends with sappy music and the three words: "I love you." Plus, Danny Tanner really seems like a rapist. The acting is really annoying, too. It's mediocre -- and I just don't like this show very much. At times it gets a chuckle out of me, but to be honest it's not exactly my favorite show either. The characters are likeable for the most part, but sometimes they can be flat. The setting of this show is also nice. I don't exactly know what else to say. =/

    Danny Tanner's wife dies in a car accident and asks his brother-in-law Jesse and his best friend Joey to come and help take care of his three girls D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. Later on Becky moves in and gets married to Jesse. Later they have twins! hide show

    This is my all-time favorite show! It is SO funny! My favorite character is D.J. because I think I'm a lot like her. If you have never seen this show, you need to see it! You will laugh like crazy when you watch this show! I mean it! I think the best episode is "love Letter" where Rusty, Danny's girlfriend's son, writes a fake love letter to D.J. to make her think it's from the paper boy she has a crush on. Apparently, it ends up in Stephanie's hands and everyone else in the house gets it all thinking it's from a different person! Please watch this show if you never had! It is AMAZING!!!

    Meh hide show

    This show is kinda good, kinda not. I think the people who like this show are children, or those who watched it growing up and still like {nostalgia purposes}. But to me this show isn't that good, and neither are the plots. The show isn't very funny IMO. A lot of episodes are too dramatic, which isn't bad, but none of them interest me a whole lot. The acting, especially for say Michelle, is pretty bad. Of course, she is the baby, but she isn't that good, she's better in movies and stuff now.

    Overall grade for the series- C, which to me, is about average.
