Full House: Season 1

Life has dealt Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) a hard blow. A drunk driver has killed his wife and he's left to raise his three daughters on his own. Knowing he needs help, he asks his best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) and brother-in-law Jesse (John Stamos) to move into his house and help him raise his three daughters, 10 year old DJ (Candace Cameron), 5 year old Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and nine month old Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in their first role). Of course, they know nothing about raising kids, but they agree. The result is this crazy mix of fun. While all three of the guys try to figure out what they are doing, the girls deal with the changes in their lives. DJ and Stephanie have to share a room. Joey is living in an alcove in the living room. And no one knows how to cook or clean, much less change Michelle's diaper. Combine that with chicken pox, school, and some different personalities, and you have the first season of this fun sit-com. I've just recently started watching the show via reruns, and I've gotten so addicted I had to get this set. Even being relatively new, I recognized some things that were different this first season. Ok, yes, besides the 80's hair on Joey and Jesse. Compulsive cleaner Danny doesn't know how to clean here. Jesse's last name is Cochran. Joey is sleeping in the living room (something that changes in the wonderful "Joey's Place.") The only catch phrase we really hear is "Have mercy!" DJ's best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber) is around, but only in a hand full of episodes. However, the heart of the show is still there. Not only does every problem get solved in 23 minutes, but usually with a heart to heart talk. And let me tell you, this show can tug at your heartstrings while making you laugh. Not to say the show isn't cheesy and corny at times. It's still highly entertaining. Of course, all the actors help the show. The adults do great in their roles. But it's the kids that blow me away. Both Candace Cameron and Jodie Sweetin really nail the parts. They are born actresses. Mary-Kate and Ashley are adorable as Michelle, thanks in part to the editing of the scenes and the patience of the rest of the cast. Not only does this set contain the 22 episodes from season one, but we also get some cool extras. The original unaired pilot is included. The difference is John Posey is playing the role of Danny. That's pretty much it. Even the guest stars are the same. While it feels funny watching someone else in the role, it's nice to have. There are also two interesting commentary tracks from series creator Jeff Franklin. While he spends minimal time talking about those specific episodes, he shares lots of memories of creating, casting, and filming the first season. Finally, there's a marginally interesting pop-up trivia track on "The Miracle of Thanksgiving." Like so much else that I recommend, this show was never going to be an award winner. But it is fun and entertaining, and that's all it takes to please me. If you are as easy to please as I am, you'll love this show.

Good wholesome family show

I been a big fan of Full House from the very first day of it being aired for the 1st time, I remember falling in love with John stamos when I saw him in a sitcom he was in with Jack klugman as it was cancelled but then he got the gig of Full House so had to follow him there when I saw the 1st show, I fell in love with him even more and was very glad this show stayed around for 8 seasons,Besides Jesse, my other favorite characters were Stephanie and Dj, I like Michelle, Danny and Joey but not as much as the other three, Oh yeah I also like Becky. I am 30 years old now and I've watched Full House so many times before as I used to have all the shows Taped on VCR for which they got stoled making me very depressed almost in tears as I grew up watching Full House. I then realized a year later it was on cable so ran out to get cable just to tape them all over again but then realized on Nick at night, they have cut out certain scenes so it was not the whole orginal show but taped them anyways thinking I might not ever see them again so Now that they are coming to DVD i am buying them and passing the Full house Dvd's I made down to my neice to enjoy them as I did when I was her age. Thank you for bringing the best show ever to DVD and I hope they don't space the other seasons to far apart as I am dying to get the whole collection soon. This made me the happiest person alive knowing it's finally coming to dvd!!

Unaired Pilot- almost the same as "Our Very First Show".

Tanners's Day Off- 6/10 The best of episodes of this season are: Joey's Place, The Seven-Month Itch, part 2, There's a Pox On Our House, Sister Love, Danny's Very First Date, Knock Yourself Out 10- absolutely wonderful 5- good 1- awful This season didn't have one episode below a 5/10!! Good news: The people making this changed 2 doubled sided discs to four single side discs! More about this dvd set: The theme song is a longer version, with more images during the them. Personally, I would have preferred the song sung the same way as the re-runs, however it is nice to see more images of the characters than usual. There are extras- commentary, and trivia. And these episodes are uncut, there are some scenes I don't think I 've ever seen before (and I've seen every episode many times) My set came with a bonus disc with an episode of Growing Pains and of Step by Step. Some used sets will come with it, but I don't think new ones will.

Full House for me is about childlike innocence. I'm proud to own Full House The Complete Series in the box that looks like a house with the roof. Thrilled Fullet House came out don't care what anyone says, the shows are both amazing and still capture childlike playfulness and innocence. Heartwarming and beautiful and fun!

I bought these dvds on recommendation from a friend, but at first I really couldn't believe it. The acting is below average, the storylines border ridiculous and every episode has an extra helping of cheese. After watching the first few episodes, however, I began to look forward to the next episodes. Once you accept that it's not high-quality, Oscar worthy material, it becomes easier to settle down for some mindless entertainment. As bad as this show is, it is now one of my favorites. In conclusion, if you are expecting a show worthy of winning awards, you really are looking in the wrong place. Full House is silly, cheesy and (on the surface) absolute rubbish - but it is what it is, and when you accept that, it is brilliant mindless entertainment and, dare I say it, highly addictive viewing.

As i expected

Esta serie es de las mejores que existen, es muy difícil de conseguir sobre todo subtitulada en español, solo la encontre en Amazon, el envio fue excelente llego a tiempo y el producto en perfectas condiciones.

We like that there is some continuity by virtue of the fact that you will view Danny, Becky, Jesse, and Joey in these shows from time to time. It makes this present edition more believable. DJ does a great job of "holding her own" in this newer show. It is still a quality show, and it is good to see Stephanie and Kimmy as well. Well done, and still full of one-liners, and more music on Fuller House. Jodie Sweetin can sing!
