The House is still Full


With shows always coming and going on T.V. there is one show that will always be on (at least during lunch time). FULL HOUSE is still going strong 15 years after the show ended. Is it Danny's never ending dust buster jokes? Joey's incredible impersonations? Or is it the always comic relief, Kimmy Gibbler? But I'm sure we can all agree it was probably Jesse's beautiful hair and his obsession with Elvis. Sexy wannabe bad boy always works in my book. Whatever they did making the show, it has payed off in airtime. I'm sure I am not the only one who had a cathartic experience watching Joey give Stephanie's entire class glasses just to make her feel comfortable wearing them to school. A real tear jerker. And I bet all of us were on the edge of our seats when the girls lost Comet the most adorable dog on the planet. The autographed picture I have of Bob Saget(Danny Tanner) in his usual gorgeous knitted sweater telling me "your too cool" gives me hope of a better "Full House" style life where children listen, 3 single men in a house aren't considered gay, and where the Olsen Twins live in S.F and not in rehab. Yes, but sadly I'm afraid the actors real lives did not reflect their onscreen characters. In Bob Saget's stand up act, he seems to try to say the opposite of what he says on full house. For example. Danny Tanner: "I like it clean" Bob Saget:"I like it dirty" Danny Tanner: "Joey, your my best friend" Bob Saget:"Joey, F you". Yes it's disturbing but the truth none the less. I haven't heard much about Kimmy Gibbler's off screen life, I haven't seen her in any other shows, so I'm sure she is still living with her parents next door to the Tanners house and going over there and getting applause every time she intrudes through the front door. It's not that bad when you compare the show's off screen antics to it's rival "Saved by the Bell". Screech's life, need I say more? Whatever their personal lives consist of, it must not take away from our one constant in an ever changing T.V. world, the Tanners, happy and always demonstrating life experiences. Full House will always be there for you during your lunch break.

Didn't Stephanie end up in drug rehab in real life? My favorite scene has to be when Danny suddenly crashes Stephanie's make-out party. Incredibly erotic and awkward.

So she dabbled in a little Crystal Meth... Let's not judge Jodie.
In fact, buy her book "Unsweetened"
