how can you honor a pedo show!

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

If you think about it, Steph went through the most issues out of her siblings - Losing her mom at a young age - Scared for her dad’s safety - Pressured into smoking - Joyriding - Witnessing a friend (Charles) deal with abuse etc.

[@trinaq]

That's true, I always liked that Stephanie tended to get the grittier storyline. Jodie was terrific at acting them, even at a tender age!

[@richardperaza5083]

Honestly I was kinda thankful for that (no I don't hate Stephanie) but it shows that problems can happen at any age

[@KaraMorassco]

[@trinaq]

The most heartbreaking episode was definitely Stephanie finding out about her classmate Charles' abusive father. Although she does the right thing by telling Danny, it's bittersweet in that we never hear more about what happened to Charles later on.

2 others that really touched me was when Papouli dies, and when Mr Bear goes missing and family realizes he's so important because he was a gift from Pam. They end the episode silently crying watching old home movies. Even toddler Michelle is teary with everyone else. That episode gets me every time.

[@SaraHouck461]

Now I’m starting to think about the equivalent of that moment in the sequel series that was prompted when Max was about to hang a fire helmet ornament on the Christmas tree until he dropped it and broke. His dad died in the line of duty while serving as a firefighter. This means the premise of the sequel series is gender-flipped from that of the original series, meaning that DJ is now the one who has to sustain widowhood while raising her three sons. The home movies in this case were shown on one of those new fangled devices like I obviously expected, as technology has come quite a long way since then.

[@teamsteed1]

The Papouil episode really touched me to. :( Michelle knew (or kinda knew what was going with Papouli) because in the episode she was excited to share the dance that were doing together and when he died uncle Jessie step in and did the dance with Michelle.

That episode was always really powerful as a kid, I never realized how much it affected me until just now. Damn.

[@MASTEROFEVIL]

And then what happened?

[@jevinday]

@@MASTEROFEVIL my friend didnt show up for church one sunday...my mom made the point that my friend's parents NEVER come to church without their son. Then he didnt come to school monday and tuesday, I told my mom and we both knew something was VERY wrong. So I called him and he told me that he was trying to do homework when his father walked in and gave him a list of chores (it was literally 5 or 6 hours worth of chores, they made him clean up all of their shit EVERY DAY). My friend finally stuck up for himself and told his dad that he had to do his homework. An argument ensued that ended up with my friend's dad throwing him against the door, he had a mark on his head from the door and a mark on his chest from the doorknob. I didnt see him for 3 days because his parents were trying to hide the evidence. When he finally told me I went straight to the principal and reported it. Unfortunately they did NOTHING, the report was never sent to the police. So when I got home from school that day I had my mom call his sister, grandma, and aunt/uncle. He lived in my neighborhood so I was messaging him on Myspace (this was 2007) telling him to run over here and never look back, and if he did he would never have to go back. Thankfully he did what I asked, he ran over to my house as fast as he could. So when he was finally here my family and his family called the cops and told them what was up. The cops went and knocked on his parents door. Because his dad and stepmom didnt answer the door the cops let him stay with his aunt and uncle for the night, and eventually the court found his dad and stepmom to be incapable of raising a child, so he never had to go back, not even for one night. He lived with his aunt and uncle in a beautiful house literally on top of a mountain. He never had to go back. He got married to his wife in Paris a couple years ago. He went on a mormon mission to Mexico. He is now a successful photographer in Los Angeles. So that's what happened

I grew up as a middlechild and the only daughter and I always saw Stephanie as my favorite character on the show. I was only three years old when the show started, so I understood better as I grew older why that was. Her storyline appealed much to me. Growing up it was the getting picked on and peer pressure particularly, and something I didn't connect the dots on while witnessing it, was a friend of mine who was verbally abused by members of her family. I fortunately didn't loose a parent when I was a child, but I lost my Dad when I was 22 and I can definetely relate to the feelings of loss Stephanie went through. It's a pain that never goes away, particularly when there are family milestones he will never witness. Like when my brother got married and when my niece was born. I will likely be a total wreck when I get married and he won't be there to give me away. Hashtag love Stephanie Tanner.

I can relate to "systems" in place failing me on a personal level. It wasn't domestic abuse, although something that should never have happened that was supposed to be a protective thing. I don't want to turn my comment into attention towards me. I'll just say it was physical and emotional abuse while forcibly committed in a juvenille asylum that literally almost killed me; occurred twenty two years ago, I still have a death wish. But yeah, so sorry nothing was done in your case. Hope you're possibly doing better now.

Stephanie tackles the most issues than anybody else in her Family

[@lexkanyima2195]

I think DJ

[@jvtv1234]

I always loved the storyline about life's lessons and how child rearing in this day and age can be challenging at best. It's nice to know how much these children are ideal examples of golden children who know how to appreciate what they have at the end of the day - not make their parents feel that parenting is a thankless job.

[@twist58]

That’s the thing about Full House. A sitcom like this tackling topical issues is something that balances between the humor and the drama. It shouldn’t just be about the laughs and this is good!

[@lexkanyima2195]

But it was not believable enough

[@philtonfake4852]

My favorite character out of the whole show is Stephanie because she dealt with most of the more serious issues throughout the show.

[@anthonyhenderson2804]

Facts being the middle child, being stood up by a guy she had a crush on,dealing with her great grandfather's death, DJ's eating disorder situation,the situation with accidentally cutting Jesse's hair,The trip the entire family took to Disney World and Michelle was getting so much attention and then Michelle losing her memory in the last two episodes

MsMojo, the serious scenes made me cry the first time and still make me cry.

[@tranatkikomi6873]

Losing a parent is not easy, and I wish I had been able to remember the episodes that touched on it when I lost my mum to cancer. I was 11 at the time. The first Mother’s Day without her was tough for several reasons, but mostly because of school. A week of activities where we would write about and prepare cards for our mums. I was the only one writing in past tense and colouring a puzzle sheet because I didn’t feel right making a card for anyone else when it was supposed to be for Mum…and it wasn’t like I could just leave one at her grave because it could get blown away or ruined by the rain. Then came the day of the Mother’s Day stall. The first one I wasn’t buying her a present. Again, it felt wrong to get something for someone who wasn’t her. And on top of that, I had to deal with bullies teasing me about her being gone. “I got my mum this, what did you get for yours? Oh right, you can’t get anything for her because she’s dead.” I had already dealt with bullies hassling me for years but that was the first time I actively wanted to slap them and get them to shut up. Then came the Sex Education night where we had to attend with a parent or guardian of the same gender for when we split into groups. If it hadn’t been for my great-aunt (Dad’s aunt who has since passed away) stepping up where all else let me down, I would have had to miss out. Even though the school knew (my teachers had attended Mum’s funeral and a notice about her passing away during the Christmas holidays was in the school newsletter), they said I wasn’t even allowed to attend with Dad. I’m just glad they didn’t have any Mummy-Daughter activity days outside of Sex Education Night. Then there was always that feeling of grief that hit whenever I saw my friends with their mums. It never got easier. It’s been 25 years since Mum died, and it never gets easier. I still miss her and want her to come back, especially in my most vulnerable moments. Nobody is ever prepared for such…

[@WhitfieldSinclair]

I'd love to see a list for FULLER HOUSE.

[@lexkanyima2195]

More edgy moments

[@barbaraeggleston6858]

Love the show it tackled a lot of situations when Stephanie tolded her uncle jess about her friend Charles and got him and his dad the help they need

[@PrinceTrexus]

Another episode that dealt with the issue of being picked on was DJ's first day of high school when she wore the same outfit as the teacher and had to eat lunch in a phone booth and the next day Kimmy convinced her to dress like a hooker. That episode had a great moment between DJ and Becky when Becky showed her how to properly apply makeup

[@keslc]

I was the exact same age as the character DJ on the show and I started jr high as the new kid when this came out. I related to her so much!

So tragic

[@gracebleekman2557]

Finally thank you so much for making this video I love Full House so much I’m hoping number one was handling death because that episode is really good but sad at the same time. Also the episode where Kimmy eloped should be on the list at least as a I honorable mention.

Stephenie should have been the kid that took off, the olsen twins were great and all but Jodie was such a good actress

[@jennatomashosky8624]

Yes, she was. She was great as an adult on Fuller House too.

[@collegebro85]

Although the way it happened is beyond preposterous, but Michelle falling and getting amnesia was pretty serious…not much else is scarier than to see a loved one have no clue who you are and forget ALL you have been through together! Granted that is usually seen in older adults with dementia, but still a serious topic of mental health nonetheless…

[@raemcpeak2046]

I love this show, it makes me nostalgic. Props to the narrator, you have a very pleasant voice. Great video guys!

[@MsMojo]

[@nightinggale5881]

There was also the last episodes where Michelle lost her memory. And the episode where DJ went out with a guy that had a van and was known with all the girls. There's also the episode where Danny starts to date someone and one of the girls gets upset

[@SuperBigMike1992]

Now remind me of the episode where Danny dated a girl and she got upset.

[@robindew9072]

Full house was a wonderful coming of age show for the whole family. It was funny at times it also had real life situations every kid and family has to deal with. It was iconic. My favorite characters were Danny and DJ.

[@anniebunny722]

I think the episode where Papouli dies was a great example of how people deal with loss of loved ones differently.

[@cheneethompson5756]

I lost my two grandmothers, my maternal grandpa, and, he died before I was born, but my paternal grandpa(if that makes sense) I can definitely relate to the loss of papouli

[@DomodusER]

Danny Tanner was without question badass and loving. Bob Sagat nailed that role like a master. Danny was my fav. He always had the right answer and when he didn't, he searched for it until he made it right. RIP Bobby, One of the greatest father figures to have lived. If he isn't in heaven then I don't want to go to heaven either.

If anything, Full House tugs at the heart strings.

[@Kaijugan]

Charles’s wereabouts not being mentioned again or resolved is one of the few plot holes that the show had.

[@motodog242]

What plot?

[@Kaijugan]

@@motodog242 sitcoms have plots, jackleg, they just aren’t as linear as many other shows.

[@odinfromcentr2]

It's a fairly realistic plothole for the time though. If you blew the whistle on that, it wasn't a given that you would ever know how it was resolved.

[@Kaijugan]

@@odinfromcentr2 I know, but it still sucks. They could have at least mentioned him again or had him come back later on. Heck, I would have loved to see him in Fuller House.

[@digidv85]

@@KaijuganI get that. Although I haven't watched the show in decades, there was an instance from an early season where a young relative named Howie stays with Michelle for one episode and she becomes devastated after he leaves. Much later in the series, he comes back and she dismisses him for "being a boy" if memory serves. So that comes back into play over any other more serious plot. Not sure if it was even the same actor or not. Seeing Charles on Fuller House would be a stretch, though; since that storyline only existed in that one episode. But yeah, still would've been a touching surprise.

I grew up with this show and it my favorite to watch. My mom would even watch it with me sometimes lol that was our quality time together when I was a kid. I miss this show sm. Fuller House is nothing compared to this. I feel like the shows from back then were so much better than now :( Even though I don't watch television as much as before, but I still guarantee it that there's nothing from the present that can compare to shows like Degrassi(2001), Boy Meets World, and Full House, ofc.
