I seen the first two episodes and wouldn't mind watching the rest. It did kinda seem a little on the ok side but I'll still watch it no matter what. I liked the show Full House when it was on TV (as in when it aired on ABC) but I never missed an episode, unless I didn't know it was on or was not home in front of my TV. Cause believe me when I got older I would never miss a show.

I just finished watching the whole first season, and it was good.

I recently saw an interview with Dave Coulier, where he mentioned that he appeared in three episodes. After seeing Joey's second appearance, I read the plot descriptions for all episodes I hadn't seen yet, and after seeing the plot for the last one, I figured that the whole main cast (except for Michelle) would appear in both the first and last episode in addition to another episode in-between... And I was not entirely right. Though Joey did appear in the last episode, Danny didn't, while Jesse made four appearances so far. It is surprising, since the last episode involves Jesse and Becky returning home so they can renew their marriage vows, I would expect Danny to attend. I'm also a little surprised that Nicki and Alex weren't there for their parents marriage renewal. Then again, I'm mixed about them. They only appear in the first episode, and to be fair the original show ended before they could really develop personalities, but I don't like how they made them into the dumb teenager stereotype that many shows seem to have (in fact, Full House didn't really do that, unless you count Dwayne).

While I can admire the family themes (same with " Diff'rent Strokes"), the working class grit of "Roseanne" hit closer to home, although in later seasons, like "House", some storylines seemed unbearably far-fetched.
UGH! Remember how they wrote it off as Dan dying, and the series was all just an autobiographical story that got weird as a way of coping over his death? Though I did like the episode where they stuck it to Disney for forcing them into one of ABC's mid-late 90's Disney World infomercial sitcom episodes.

Full House is a show that leaves me conflicted. I did indeed like it as a kid, and I don't exactly hate it as an adult so much as I avoid it at all costs. I kinda don't dig sitcoms about overly cute kids doing overly cute things, especially when the adorbs kid turns into the hot throb and the show changes on a dime to reflect that. Which explains my odd conflict with certain family sitcoms, though I am more partial to Malcolm in the Middle type shows. I famously detest the Brady Bunch, yet I can get behind other, more gimmicky 60's sitcoms like Get Smart, both monstrous families, even the occasional Gilligan's Island if I'm in the mood. The 80's was when the family sitcom was at peak capacity, and looking back they were...mixed...very mixed. And that's not even including the odd syndicated ones about robots or aliens. And while I do love the sitcom ALF, I found his animated series far superior in writing and Melmacian culture.

I know that pretty much every plot has been done by now, but I've noticed several episodes have plots that are similar to episodes of the original series.

The love triangle between DJ, Steve, and the vet, particularly how it wraps up in the last episode (and I saw this coming, even before reading the spoiler at TV Tropes, though I thought it'd be wrapped up sooner), is similar to the episode where DJ has to decide between Nelson and Viper.

The episode where DJ disapproves of one of her sons friends, and him later saying that his friend is basically his Kimmy, is similar to the episode where Danny punishes DJ from hanging out with Kimmy, and her eventually telling Danny that Joey is like his Kimmy. In fact, that episode's plot is also reminiscent of a few other episodes. The fact that DJ grounds her son from going to a wrestling event that he really wanted to go to is similar to the episode where Joey grounds DJ and won't even let her participate in something she had been practicing for, and him sneaking out and her having a change of heart reminds me of when DJ skipped school to get an autograph only for Joey to end up getting her the autograph while she's there. And the episode where DJ tells Kimmy she's got to be stricter on Ramona is like when Danny finally had to give Michelle her first punishment.

Lol I know those talks were important especially the episodes with drugs and where Stephanie's best friend was in an accident and died. It's just the dramatic music I really found annoying
She didn't literally die. Sorry, I'm just a Full House fanatic. LOL. She was in a car with two teenage boys and they got in an accident. She broke her leg, if I am correct? :confused:
