Plot

[edit]

After the death of his wife Pam, sports anchor Danny Tanner recruits his rock musician brother-in-law, (Pam's younger brother) Jesse, and stand-up comedian Joey, his best friend since childhood, to help raise his three young daughters in San Francisco—D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. Over time, the three men, as well as the girls, bond and become closer to one another.

In season two, Danny is reassigned from his duties as a sports anchor by his television station to become co-host of the morning show,Wake Up, San Francisco,and is teamed up with Nebraska native Rebecca Donaldson. Jesse and Rebecca ( "Becky" ) eventually fall in love and get married in season four. In season five, Becky gives birth to twin sons, Nicholas ( "Nicky" ) and Alexander ( "Alex" ).

Main cast

[edit]
  1. ^The character's surname was changed from "Cochran" to "Katsopolis" after the first season ended.
  2. ^Daniel & Kevin Renteria portrayed the characters in Season 5.

Production

[edit]

Casting

[edit]
John Poseyas Danny Tanner in the unaired pilot (shown with Sweetin and Cameron as Stephanie and D.J.)

The producers' first choice to play the character of Danny Tanner wasBob Saget.Saget was not available to appear in thepilotdue to his commitment as an on-air contributor toCBS'sThe Morning Program.The producers instead cast actorJohn Poseyto play Danny. Posey only appeared in the show's unaired pilot; which is included on the DVD release of Season 1.

John Stamos's character was originally named Jesse Cochran; Stamos reportedly wanted his character to better reflect his Greek heritage, so producers decided to change the character's surname to Katsopolis (beginning with season two).

To comply withchild labor laws,twinsMary-Kate OlsenandAshleywere cast to alternate in the role of Michelle during tapings. The girls were jointly credited as "Mary Kate Ashley Olsen" in seasons two through seven because the producers did not want audiences to know that the Michelle character was played by twins. The sisters occasionally appeared together infantasy sequences.Full Housewas one of the few shows on TV where a baby character grew up in front of the cameras, with viewers witnessing all the development stages of the twin actresses.[2]Saget recalled he would often get complaints from the child actors' moms because he wouldn't watch his language while on stage.[3]Jodie Sweetinwas spotted in a guest spot on the showValerie.[3]Lori Loughlinwas hired in 1988 for a six-episode romance plot with "Uncle Jesse" but ended up staying until the end of the show.[3]

All seven of the original cast members remained with the show through its entire eight-year run, with five characters added to the main cast along the way. D.J.'s best friend Kimmy was a recurring character in seasons one through four, who was upgraded to a regular in season five. Rebecca originally appeared for six episodes in season two; producers decided to expand her role and made her a regular the following season. After marrying Jesse, they have twins Nicky and Alex, who make their debut in season five. As babies, the children were played by Daniel and Kevin Renteria, and in season six, the roles of the twins were succeeded by Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit. The last main character added was Steve Hale, who was D.J.'s boyfriend in seasons six and seven. He was played byScott Weinger.

Taping

[edit]

The series was created byJeff Franklinand executive produced by Franklin, along with Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett. The series was produced by Jeff Franklin Productions andMiller-Boyett Productions,in association withLorimar-Telepictures(1987–1988),Lorimar Television(1988–1993), and then byWarner Bros. Television(1993–1995) after Lorimar was folded into Warner Bros.'s existing television production division.

Although the series was set inSan Francisco,the sitcom itself was taped at theWarner Bros. Studiosin Los Angeles. Outside of certain excerpts in the opening title sequences, includingAlamo Square Park'sPainted Ladies,the only episode to have actually been taped in San Francisco was the first episode of season eight, "Comet's Excellent Adventure".There were also a few episodes which were filmed on-location elsewhere, most notablyHawaiiin the season three premiere "Tanner's Island", and atWalt Disney Worldfor the two-part sixth-season finale "The House Meets the Mouse".

The series experienced heavy turnover with its writing staff throughout its run. The first season in particular had at least three writing staff changes, with Lenny Ripps (who remained with the show until the early part of the fourth season, by then serving as a creative consultant) and Russell Marcus being the only writers surviving the changes through the entire season. Show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin was the only writer to remain with the series throughout its entire eight-season run (Franklin also wrote and directed several episodes during the first five seasons).Marc WarrenandDennis Rinslerjoined the series' writing staff in the second season as producers and remained with the show until its 1995 cancellation; Warren and Rinsler took over as head writers by season five and assumedshowrunningduties as executive producers for the sixth season to allow Franklin to focus onHangin' with Mr. Cooper(Full Houseserved asCooper's lead-in when the former aired on Tuesday nights during the1992–93 season).

Theme song

[edit]

The show'stheme song,"Everywhere You Look", was performed byJesse Frederick,who co-wrote the song with writing partner Bennett Salvay and series creator Jeff Franklin. Various instrumental versions of the theme song were used in the closing credits; the version used during seasons three through eight was also used in the opening credits in some early syndication runs, although the song was almost always truncated to the chorus for broadcast. Seasons one through five used a longer version of the theme song. Insyndicatedairings, the line "you miss your old familiar friends, but waiting just around the bend" replaced the lines starting with "how did I get to livin' here, somebody tell me please..." (afterABC Familyacquired the series in 2003, it became the first television outlet to air the long versions of the theme since the series' ABC run, which were included only in select episodes from the first five seasons, whereas the full version was used in most episodes during those seasons).Hallmark Channelreruns have used four different cuts of the theme song, including the full version.

Cross-marketing

[edit]

ABC used the show to launch other sitcom hits for the whole family throughout the early 1990s on Fridays and other evenings such asHome Improvement,Family MattersandHangin' with Mr. Cooper.[2]

The actorDave Couliersold the Mr. Woodchuck puppet he made on the show to the toy storeToys "R" Us.[2]

Episodes and ratings

[edit]

Full Houseoriginally aired on Fridays from September 1987 to August 1991, which spanned the show's first four seasons, and later became the flagship program of ABC's newly launchedTGIFblock in September 1989. The show was briefly moved to Tuesdays during the 1987–88 season and then aired twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays for a few months in order to help the series build an audience. It remained on Fridays permanently for the next three seasons, as the show's ratings increased.Full Housewas moved to Tuesdays full-time for season five and remained there until the series ended in 1995. While the show's first season was not very successful, finishing 71st that year, mostly because it was a new series placed in an 8 p.m.Easterntimeslot (most freshman series start out in protected time slots preceded by successful lead-ins), the show quickly became popular during its second season as it was placed immediately following the established hit showPerfect Strangers(which was also produced by Tom Miller and Bob Boyett). From season three onwards, it was ranked amongNielsen's Top 30 shows (a ratings increase which allowed the series to move back to Fridays at 8 p.m.).[citation needed]By the fourth season, the series jumped to the Top 20 and remained there until the seventh season (the series peaked at the top ten during seasons five and six).[citation needed]

In 1995, despite the fact the show was still rated in the top 25, ABC announced that it was canceling the show after eight seasons due to the increasing costs of producing the series. By the end of the show, the average cost of one episode was $1.3 million. Plans to moveFull HousetoThe WBnetwork fell through.[2]The one-hour series finale was watched by24.3 million viewers,ranking No. 7 for the week and attracting a 14.6 household rating and a 25 percent audience share.[citation needed]

Critical reception

[edit]

Despite the show's popularity and being an '80s-'90s classic among audiences and families, critics' reviews forFull Housewere mostly mixed-to-negative in the show's early years,[19]but became more positive in later years.[20]Onreview aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,the show's first season has an approval rating of 40% based on 5 critical reviews.[21][22]OnMetacritic,which uses aweighted average,the first season holds an aggregate score of 31 out of 100 based on 7 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews" while it holds a score of 7.6 based on 157 user reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[23]InSlate,Willa Paskin referred to the series as "a hackneyed and saccharine family sitcom".[24]Isaac Feldberg opined that it was "archetypally average, hiding behind a ubiquitous laugh track and obnoxiously on-the-nose life lessons."[25]Howard Rosenberg ofLos Angeles Timescalled it a ‘contrived muck’ and ‘a great argument for birth control’, writing "“Full House” isn’t playing with a full deck. It oozes and blubbers for a half hour, yielding no laughs or life. You need a Geiger counter to detect its pulse. "Also stating" It strives to beat out CBS for second place in the ratings. But this contrived muck isn't one of them. In fact, its entire premise of shared witless fatherhood (a la "My Two Dads" on NBC) is a great argument for birth control. "[26]John J. O, Connor ofNew York Timeswrote "And so it goes, one predictable situation following another, with the actors frantically trying to keep the patient [the infant] from becoming a full-fledged corpse."[27]Josh Kurp ofUproxxwrote "Full House is comfortingly bland. It's a bowl of white rice, spaghetti with no butter or sauce, eggs served on Saltines. You could live off it,... but you wouldn't want to."[28]

Tom Shales ofThe Washington Postdefended it, saying "Critics are supposed to rend teeth and gnash clothing when a show like Full House catches on, but why? The new ABC sitcom seems to follow at least one basic, if often ignored, rule of television: First, do no harm."[29]Josh Jackson wrote a positive review: "Full House: The absolute definition of the “family sitcom” in the late '80s/early '90s. Unlike the Blossoms of the era, Full House wasn’t about the “very special episode”; it was just wholesome, family friendly entertainment all the time, which has become all the more humorous in the years that followed as former viewers learned just how foul-mouthed Bob Saget could be in literally any other context. This, though, was the television equivalent of cotton candy: airy, saccharine, and totally insubstantial. Even if you watched a ton of Full House episodes, I’ll bet you barely remember the full plot of any of them. "[30]

Reunions

[edit]

During Bob Saget's final season as host ofAmerica's Funniest Home Videos,six otherFull Housecast alumni (John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and Lori Loughlin) reunited on the May 9, 1997, episode (the episode which preceded Saget's final episode as host of that series).[31]

In a December 2008 news story,[32]it was reported that John Stamos was planning a reunion movie.[33]This idea was quickly withdrawn, because reportedly most of the cast was not interested.[34]In 2009, Stamos announced that a feature film based on the show was still planned. Stamos toldThe New York Daily News,"I'm working on a movie idea, but it wouldn't be us playing us. I'm not 100% sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years." Stamos positedSteve CarellandTracy Morganfor the roles of Danny and Joey respectively.[35]

In 2012, eight of theFull Housecast members reunited in Los Angeles for their 25th anniversary. Publicists for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen said that they "weren't able to attend, given their work schedules."[36]

On July 19, 2013, the original Jesse and the Rippers (the band which Jesse Katsopolis served as frontman until he was voted out in season 8) reunited onLate Night with Jimmy Fallon.The group performed a medley of covers includingthe Beach Boys' "Forever,"Elvis Presley's "Little Sister,""Hippy Hippy Shake",and ending with theFull Housetheme "Everywhere You Look". Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin made cameo appearances.[37]

In January 2014, Saget, Stamos, and Coulier appeared onLate Night with Jimmy Fallon.They each reprised their characters, while Fallon dressed in child's pajamas in a bed framed by four gigantic pencils, similar to Michelle Tanner's bed from the show. Saget, Stamos, and Coulier said some of their famous catchphrases from the show, as well as singing "The Teddy Bear" song.[38]Stamos, Saget and Coulier also appeared together in a 2014 commercial forDannon OikosGreek Yogurt(for which Stamos serves as spokesperson) that debuted duringSuper Bowl XLVIII,days after their appearance onLate Night.[39]

Sequel series

[edit]

In August 2014, reports circulated that Warner Bros. Television was considering a seriessequel.[40]John Stamos, who has an ownership stake in the show, headed up the attempt to get the series back into production.[41]Netflixclosed a deal to produce a 13-episode sequel series tentatively titledFuller House,with many of the original series cast members reprising their roles.[42]Notably, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen both declined to reprise the role of Michelle in the first season,[43]although the creators and producers said they could still possibly appear in future seasons.[44][45]Stamos would guest star as well and serve as producer.[46][47]

Filming began on July 25, 2015.[48]Like the original series, the show is set inSan Francisco.[49]The original series idea was focused on D.J., a veterinarian struggling to raise three boys after her firefighter husband Tommy Fuller is killed in the line of duty; Stephanie, an aspiring musician; and Kimmy, who is a party planner and a single mother to a teenage daughter, Ramona. The show's premise follows one similar to the original series when Stephanie makes plans to put her career on hold for a while and move in with D.J. to help take care of her children. Almost immediately afterward, Kimmy makes the same offer for her and Ramona to move in and help out. Netflix premiered the series on February 26, 2016,[50]with the premiere episode featuring a Tanner family reunion.[51][52]After five seasons, the series concluded on June 2, 2020.[53]

Book series

[edit]

Books based onFull Houseare geared toward children primarily between the ages of 8 and 14. Warner Bros., which holds the rights toFull Houseand its associated characters, would not permit others to use their characters and selected who could write books based on the television series. The books are based on theSilhouetteromance novels byMills & Boon.Full House Michelle #7: Summer Rhapsodyis a Silhouette Special Edition #75 byNancy JohnandLaura O'Neilin February 1983.

The series includes the following:

  • Full House Stephanie:These 33 books were written from thepoint of viewof the Tanners' middle daughter, Stephanie Tanner. They take place with Stephanie in a different middle school, likely because of a slightly differentredistrictingplan compared to the one mentioned in season seven's "Fast Friends". She has different best friends as well, Allie Taylor and Darcy Powell. Though these are book creations, she has known Allie sincekindergarten,and there are several places in the first five seasons ofFull Housewhere fans think an unnamedextracould be Allie. This series begins with Stephanie being pressured to join a clique called the Flamingos, by completing a series of dares. She almost does the last one, though she is not sure if she wants to before D.J. catches her trying to steal Danny's phone card. Stephanie explains tearfully what was happening, and D.J. helps her to understand what the Flamingos were really up to: they wanted to use the phone card to call their boyfriends. Stephanie and the Flamingos become fierce rivals.Hip Hop Til You Drop,Two for One Christmas Fun,andTen Ways to Wreck a Dateare the most popular.
  • Full House Michelle:These 40 stories are told from Michelle's point of view. The first 27 feature more of her, and the other Tanners', home life than others, though some focus on events at school, whereas the last 14, the "Michelle and Friends" series, focuses mostly on Michelle and her classmates. Unlike Stephanie, Michelle goes to the same elementary school but is in a different class. Two stories were translated and published in Japan in February 2007. Super specialMy Best Friend is a Movie Starcame out in September 1996, and along withThe Substitute TeacherandHow to be Coolare the most popular.
  • Full House Sisters:These 14 books focus on Michelle and Stephanie's friendship and comical situations that occur between them. The sisters often alternate points of view in the story.
  • Full House: Dear Michelle:These four books were published several years after the others stopped being produced. They take place with Michelle in the third grade, where she writes anadvice columnfor her class paper.
  • Club Stephanie:1997–2001 revival series with the Sisters series. Sweetin is younger than Nickelodeon'sLarisa OleynikinAlex, You're GlowingandIrene NginHot Rock.
