I'm getting close to the episodes that are 7 but Star search is just a little short I like the setting and the Ed McMahon guest star but this is another where Joey should get a big break but then in the end it falls down for him. There is a lot of these episodes I feel like for some reason and they just aren't memorable episodes. It also wasn't a super funny episode but it was decent, just not a great episode overall.

This Full House episode really means a lot to me because it is a 23 minute piece that resonates long after its watch. Very few single episodes of shows do that. Many Full House episodes do have that stay power, but almost none have anything that is life-firming or that can be lived upon. This is an exception.

Danny checks out an old videotape of when he and Joey were in college together. Ten years later, Danny is now a successful talk-show host and Joey is in the same rut he was then. In college he made a deadline to be a huge comic within ten years. So for the next few days he is 100% comedy all the time. The Tanners are annoyed! Just as he wonders "What's the use?" Danny revealed he sent a tape of Joey to Star Search and will be a contestant. YAY! He competes against champion Steve Oedekirk, the real Steve! All the showbiz glamour from Star Search is wonderful. He loses via audience tie-breaker and is ready to move on from comedy. Then Jesse has a heart-to-heart that totally makes this. The phrasing Jesse uses had a profound impact on me. I sometimes use these word for word. He talks about happiness and not giving up even if he never makes it big. This reaffirms Joey's ambition in comedy.

I don't care if I'm the only one this really impacted, I'm still giving this a perfect score.
