Full House

[ Favourite Characters ] [ Favourite Episodes ]

This show deals with Danny Tanner and his daughters DJ (10 years old), Stephanie (5 years old) and baby Michelle. Danny has recently lost his wife Pam, and the children have lost their mother, in a car accident. Danny realises he will need help bringing up the girls, and asks his old friend Joey Gladstone and his brother-in-law Jesse Katsapolis to move in. Joey is not much more than a kid himself, and Jesse is a young, hip musician who enjoys beautiful girls and cool parties - so there are hard times ahead! Still, the guys grow, almost as much as the girls do, and that is a nice process to watch!

Eventually Jesse falls in love with Danny's co-worker, Rebecca 'Becky' Donaldson, and when they get married, the move into the attic. They have twin boys a while later - Nicky and Alex. Add to this the dog Comet, and it is certainlly a Full House!!

This is a wonderful comedy show, and as a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, it is terrific to see them grow up on the show as cute little Michelle. I think this is a great show, mostly because it has got some really serious storylines and great undercurrents, despite the comedy angle and funny jokes.

Some of my FAVOURITE CHARACTERS!

Michelle
It feels a bit obvious, but she is my favourite! In the first seasons, she's mostly incredibly cute, but later on you could tell that the Olsen twins were really talented, despite being so young. Michelle is very funny, but can also show she's just as alone and scared and insecure as all of us are when we are kids!

DJ
I think Candace Cameron is a very good actress, she's had some really difficult scenes to do as DJ, and she performs excellently! It's very nice to see DJ grow from a child into a grown woman, going through all the different phases, although it must have been tough for the actress!

Jesse
The good-looking uncle! What I like most about this character is the fact that he grows so much during the show's eight years. In the beginning, he wasn't very mature, he's mostly the good-looking biker/musician who is only interested in having a good time. He starts being more responsible when he moves into the Tanner house and has to help out with the children - his and Joeys attempt at changing Michelle's diaper is hilarious!! Then he meets the love of his life, Becky, and forgets all about other women, he gets to run his own club - The Smash Club - and eventually accepts the ultimate responsibility of becoming a father!

Some of my FAVOURITE EPISODES!

Our Very First Show
The first episode of the show is a true classic. I like that the episodes is as serious as it is, because it creates a genuine love and understanding for the characters. Danny, as well as DJ and Stephanie, have a hard time dealing with Pam's death. DJ goes through a really difficult time here, top-quality acting from young Candace Cameron! The comedy shines through, of course, and the scene where Jesse and Joey are changing Michelle's diaper is one of my all time favourites. To quote Stephanie: "Showtime!"

Baby Love
As a fan of Michelle, this episode is wonderful!!! Michelle and Howie together are just about the most adorable couple I have ever seen!!

Honey, I Broke the House
A great Stephanie episode! The first time I saw it, I could hardly believe my eyes, the fact that Stephanie actually drove the car into the kitchen left me totally stunned! Jodie Sweeting does a wonderful job in this episode!!

Our Very First Telethon
A very cool and very funny episode with lots of highlights! Danny and Becky singing, while Becky is stuck in Joey's "magic box" always makes me laugh - Becky's lyrics are terrific! I really like song DJ sings to Michelle ("Lollipops and Gummibears...") and seeing Michelle alone on the floor singing the alphabet song is so adorable - including the "NNNOP"-part! Also, the big Beach-Boys-finish is great!

Greek Week
A very festive episode, where we get to see one wedding anniversary, one wedding and two divorces in about 30 minutes!! This episode features Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen acting side by side for a change! Ahsley plays Michelle and Mary-Kate plays Melina, Michelle's greek cousin! Totally cute!!

Happy Birthday, Babies Parts 1 & 2
A great set of episodes in many ways. The biggest thing, of course, being the arrival of the Katsapolis twins, Nicky and Alex! I also like all the Michelle-flashbacks! She turns five years old, and it's wonderful to see the scenes from previous episodes!

The Devil Made Me Do It
A very cool Michelle episode! It's not always easy to know what's right and wrong, and it's great to see three Michelles at once! Ashley, playing "bad Michelle" is so funny!

The House Meets the Mouse, Parts 1 & 2
I absolutely love these two episodes, set in DisneyWorld, Florida! I guess one reason why I like them so much would be the fact that I have been to DisneyWorld twice myself! But the episodes are great in themselves as well! I like the way DJ thinks she's seing Steve everywhere ... I soo recognize that ! The relationship between Michelle and Stephanie grows quite a lot, and Danny's proposal at the end is wonderful!! Also, the song Jesse sings to Becky at the hotel - I guess I'm a real softie!

The Last Dance
A very sasd episode, when Papouli arrives from Greece, but passes away in his sleep one night. I think the show deals with this very serious subject very well. When a dear one dies, it's tough for everybody, when having to deal with something like that as a child is so much worse. That's why I do like that the show deals with this loss mostly from the children's point of view!

Under the Influence
A wonderful story, which tells us that sometimes kids can work things out best by themselves, without adults interfering to much! It's great to see Michelle explain to Nicky and Alex about "forgiveness", especially after the completely crazy display by Jesse and Joey!

Michelle Rides Again, Parts 1 & 2
A nice conclusion to the show, and a very very "happy ending"!! Normally, I'm not to fond of happy endings, but this show couldn't have ended in any other way! A favourite scene - of course - is when Michelle gets her memory back, and Ashley and Mary-Kate get the chance to act together!
