Review of Full House

Full House (1987–1995)
A show to laugh at, not with.
8 February 2002
Like many other people who watched this show during their early teen years, I worshipped the ground it walked on. But, after getting slightly older and wiser, I realized that this show was long on "Have mercy!" and "I want some ous cream!" and a little short on intelligent writing. Still, I'll watch a rerun once in awhile just to laugh at all the crazy situations, the heavily over-used cliches, all of it. Also, a lot of people mention the Olsen twins as a particularly bad aspect of the show. Sure, they're not the world's greatest actresses, but they did parlay an infant role on a show like this into a massive fashion and entertainment empire. You've got to have at least some respect for that. I do, anyway. (As a further side note, their next show, "Two of a Kind" makes a few jokes about "Full House." While discussing poker hands, we hear, "Wow, when we were little, full house beat everything." Also, when their live-in babysitter dates their uncle, they say "Hey, if uncle Matt and Carrie get married, they can live down in the basement forever!". . .a loving nod to the much maligned "Uncle Jesse gets married but stays in the attic at Michelle's demand" incident.)
