Summary: finally on dvd
Review: Around a year ago, I signed an online petition to see if this and "Miami Vice" could get released on dvd. The company listened to the fans I suppose:) . I remember watching this show every Friday night when I was a little kid. Nick at Nite as well as the Family Channel(now ABC Family) played reruns of the show; however it is nice to have the show in a cohesive season instead of watching an episode from 1987 back to back with one from 1993.Full House is a sitcom the whole family can watch.

Summary: Finally! My fave 80s sitcom on DVD!
Review: As with anyone in their twenties and thirties, I grew up in the 80s and that definitely involved watching Full House! If anyone who is out there does not realize this, it's where the Olsen Twins got their start! That's a given of course!
If anyone has never watched this sitcom, it's just wonderful! It's very witty, although corny at times, but it's good, clean, family fun! Guaranteed! The only downside to this is having to wait for the other 7 seasons to come out on DVD! :)

Summary: I Am Impressed-They Are Complete Episodes!
Review: Bought the 1st season of "Full House" today and watched the first two episodes with my five-year-old. All I can say is Wow; how different from watching them in syndication on T.V.! I have seen all of the episodes many times on the multiple channels that it is shown on. I knew there were parts cut out, because I remembered some of the episodes from when they were "first-run" on ABC, but I really didn't realize how MANY lines of dialogue got cut until I watched the DVDS. It seems almost like watching a different show; some of the scenes certainly make more sense and flow more easily, anyway! If you have read any of my reviews on seasons 3-6 on the "Little House" DVDS, you will know my feelings about cut-up, choppy shows being put on DVD now! To any avid "Full House" fan, I would say BUY THESE; you will not be disappointed!

Summary: Could not be happier!!
Review: 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!!

Summary: Someone missed the mark...
Review: I harbor no grudge against the Olsen Twins; I think they've become fine actresses and I'm not annoyed by them in the slightest, as I am with Hillary Duff or Ashlee Simpson. So this is not going to be one of many "OMG teh olsan twinz is teh suxx0rs!!!!111eleven!!" reviews that I'm sure are bound to flood this item's review list. But I will be brutally honest.

Like everyone else, I watched this show during its heyday. However, I have watched many reruns of this show much more recently, and I found out much to my surprise that it's COMPLETELY NOT FUNNY. The funniest sitcoms of all time are all about extremely dysfunctional people making idiots of themselves and each other; it's sad, but true. Full House is about the everyday adventures of a bunch of normal, loving, and thoroughly boring people. I think most people hear funnier dialogue in their own real lives each day than they do in a typical FH episode. And things got very old very quickly; you can only hear so many jokes about Danny's cleanliness or Joey's immaturity before they lose what little comedic value they originally had.

When FH wasn't even trying to be funny, it was even worse. I could swear that the audience was cued to say "Awwwww" at specific points during each episode, and too many episodes end with one character or another learning a Very Valuable Lesson(TM) and/or hugging each other. Would you like some saccharine with your sugar?

To add insult to injury, back when FH was being made, the Olsens' acting abilities had not yet... uh... existed. I'm surprised that they have improved so much since then. The middle sister was a pretty horrible actress too.

Well, that's my two cents.

Summary: Your 'house' won't be 'full' without this.
Review: I have loved this show for a long time. I've seen every episode several times. It's one of the best sitcoms. I read where someone was saying here that Full House plays on a few different networks, why have a box set..I'll tell you a good reason. They don't always play the episodes that a person may want to see, this way, they will be able to play them anytime they want to and all of them will be conveniently at their fingertips. That's the best thing about it. This show is perfect for all ages, a great family show.

Summary: THE 1980's family comedy
Review: When Danny Tanner's wife dies he subsequently persuades his brother in law and best friend move in to help him take care of his three children. As the sports anchor for a local network (at least in this season), Tanner would not possibly be able to raise his those daughters alone. He has reasoned that three parents will be better than one.

Because they are three men taking care of three girls in an ornate San Francisco Victorian, the sexual innuendo is supposed to hook family members of all ages into watching what would have been a quickly canceled youth show. The critical plot twist is that these men are all heterosexual.

Eldest child DJ (Candace Cameron) is named Donna Jo after her late mother, although nobody calls her Donna Jo during the series run. She contends with a perpetually nosy younger sister named Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) who cannot seem to stop reading her diary and listening in on telephone conversations. There is also a baby sister named Michelle (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen) who thankfully does not have many lines this season.

DJ has an Eddie Haskell-like best friend named Kimmie Gibbler (Andrea Barber) whom she loves despite atrociously smelling feet which inevitably become the punch line to many jokes in both this and subsequent seasons. In retrospect, Kimmie has the coolest clothes out of the young female cast, she is dressed sort of punkish/new wave as if to co notate that she is both excitement and trouble rolled into one package. DJ and Stephanie (who share a room at this point) are supposed to look like the girls next door by contrast.

Considering their mom died, DJ and Stephanie (who are both old enough to understand the grieving process) handle themselves very well during this season. We don't see them acting up/out during this season (presumably when they would need to be working through their lingering issues with mom). They have instead accepted the fact that their mom is gone-and will not be coming back. Even Michelle exhibits herself eerily perfect for being a little kid. Yes, we watched this series when we were little, but revisiting it now allows us to see that it was not the masterpiece we had presumed.

Cameron, the sister of "Growing Pains" heartthrob Kirk Cameron was clearly supposed to be the breakout `youth star' of this series because a lot of first season episodes focus on DJ Tanner. John Stamos (who had a previous background in soaps such as General Hospital) was obviously supposed to be the `grown up' breakout star for `Full House' as Jessie Katsopolis, the brother of the deceased. There are many episodes in the first season which revolve around one or both of these two people.

Since Pam Tanner (nee Cochran) was supposed to have been Greek, I am however curious why the Tanner girls all looked like California sun-kissed blondes. A basic genetics lesson says that they should have at least looked a little Mediterranean, especially since Bob Saget is also obviously not a blonde, and his daughters somehow are. Ironically the only blonde adult, Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) is not even a blood relative, he is just a friend who moved in.

Notable episodes this season include "Our first show" which explains how the guys come to live together (and lists Jesse's last name as Cochran instead of Katsopolis); To make room for Uncles Jessie and Joey, DJ must share a room with her younger sister Stephanie---but protests by temporarily moving into the garage. In "Our very first night" Jessie learns the hard way that rehearsal with his band, the Rippers, and babysitting the girls ultimately does not work. In "The First day of school" we meet Kimmy Gibbler for the very first time. Finally, Candace Cameron's older brother Kirk guest stars as cousin Steve in "One of the Guys" while ironically his future wife Chelsea Noble guest stared in the immediately following episode "The seven month itch" as Jesse's girlfriend.

There is nothing particularly objectionable in the series itself, the Olsen twins most abhorrent work comes from their various side projects. However if this series hadn't helped launch ABC's hugely successful Friday night "TGIF" lineup during the 1980's, then the world might have now been able to live Olsen free. This is indeed serious food for thought.
