Show Summary

  • Ended
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.''''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.''''First Telecast: September 22, 1987''''Last Telecast: May 23, 1995''''Episodes: 192 Color Episodesmoreless

    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.moreless

    I've seen this show before on Nick at Nite (when it used to air every night on there) and ABC Family, and while I think it's honestly decent, it's pretty much boring. I understand how alot of people would like this due to noglosta (blah) of the time period, but honestly it's not funny. It's kind of like animated comedy: some of the episodes intrest you because they're original, other's bore you to death because you've seen them a billion times. I think it was good for it's time, but it doesn't stand up so well in today's era. 5.5/10 F+moreless

  • This show is meant to be a family show so don't complain if you think this show is bad because it's not and this show was meant for the whole family... it's not just teenagers or adults, it's for everybodymoreless

    I love to watch this show and it's very enjoyable. I honestly don't see how people don't like this show. It makes me laugh so hard and I've seen pretty much every single episode of this show. People, if you're complaining about this show being bad then you are dead wrong because it was meant to be a family show. It's not just for teenagers, it's not just for adults, it's for everyone of all ages. My brother introduced this show to me 8 years ago. He watched it and he thought that it was absolutely hilarious (at least back then). He doesn't like it too much anymore but I'm glad that my brother introduced it to me because this show still makes me laugh hard to that very day. My brother thinks that "Full House" is an alright shiow now that he is older, this show still makes him laugh sometimes but not much as it used to from when we were little. All of the characters in this show were absolutely likeable. Stephanie was kind of annoying to me when she was young but when she got older in the later episodes, she doesn't annoy me anymore and she grew up to be a beautiful girl. Kimmy is probably the most annoying characters in this show though but it's hilarious how everyone complains everytime they see Kimmy because she annoys the heck out of them (as for me). Michelle is a cute little girl and I've always liked her "You got it dude" line no matter how many times she uses it. DJ is also a good character and think that she is beautiful. We also have more characters like Danny, Jesse, Joey, and Rebecca. My absolute favorite character in this show is by far Joey. Joey just makes me laugh so hard so whenever he makes his impressions. Overall, I love "Full House" and it's a wonderful family comedy show to watch so don't complain about this show being bad because it's meant to be for the whole family. 9.5/10moreless

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

    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.moreless
