Full house was a show a lot of us grew up with in the late 80's/early 90's. You either hated it or loved it. Even if you love it, there are a lot of things in the series that just doesn't make sense. I know when I first watched this show, I didn't think about things not making sense, It's when I became an adult and started watching it that I (like many others) have realized that things make you scratch your head.
There are several YouTube videos that talk about a few of the "mistakes" found in the two series. I decided to take notes as I watched the two series again and to talk about them all in one spot. I know I didn't catch everything and have left somethings out but I tried my best. There is just so much to go through, remember and think about lol
The General Stuff
There are stairs all over the place, in the front room, the kitchen and two sets in the basement. How in the hell does the stairs from the kitchen lead to the same area upstairs as the front room ones? When they show the upstairs, there is only one set which goes into the front room. The small stairway in the garage/basement is a mystery too. Obviously one set goes into the kitchen but the other set, where does that go? I think it was only used once.
Jessie's last name was Croken. I know John Stamos wanted them to change it because it didn't match with their heritage but why couldn't they figure this out before they aired the series?
How can they get a car into the backyard especially in SF? We all know how the houses are in that city. There is just no way they could get a car in the backyard.
How do people know which door to knock on? It seems like they just magically know where the family is hanging out so they can decided which door to knock on. Plus, why would someone just wonder in someone's backyard anyways?
Stephanie gets glasses but in Fuller House she doesn't have them nor mention that she has contacts.
Comet is barley in any episodes in season 4. I get it's hard to work with a dog, there's the money and storylines but he should have been in more episodes.
Becky has a decent singing voice in a few episodes but when she sings Pooh Corner, she sounds horrible.
Season 1
Episode 1: 'Our very first show' - If Danny knew Joey & Jessie were moving in, why didn't he clean out both the attic & the basement? I get he was going through a lot but since two people were going to live there for awhile, it would make sense to clean one or both out to make more room. Also, they mention Kimmy has three sisters but they disappear later on in the series & she has a brother instead.
Episode 4: 'Return of grandma' - The house ends up being a mess. Danny would never let it get that bad to start. I realize this is all before he is a "neat freak" but they always talk about how he was always that way.
Episode 13: 'Sisterly love' - Stephanie has pierced ears that are clearly not clip-ons but later in the series, she gets them done by Kimmy.
Episode 22: 'DJ Tanner's day off' - Kimmy says she has an older brother, I believe this is when she no longer has sisters. Also, in Fuller House, her brother is now younger.
Season 2
Episode 15: 'Pal Joey' - We know Jessie is younger than Danny, I think Joey is too. It always seemed like Danny didn't meet Jessie until he got with with his wife. This episode is a little confusing on the timeline because Danny & Joey meet in grade school and Jessie is there too.
Episode 21: 'Luck be lady' - When everyone is in Lake Tahoe, DJ at one point says they won 10 thousand dollars but another time in the episode they mention 100 thousand.
Season 3
Episode 4: 'Nerd for a day' - The jingle bye bye fat is so degrading to people who are over weight. They say how one won't be fat no more if they lose weight and they will look great.
Episode 7: 'And they call it puppy love' - The puppies in the episode looked to be 8 weeks old when Minnie's owner came to get her. Just how long did they have the puppies for?
Episode 20: 'Honey I broke the house' - Why does Joey's car look like bullet, Danny's car? A car doesn't just go backwards unless you hit the gas & Stephanie couldn't reach the pedals.
Season 4
Episode 10: 'Terror in Tanner town' - Rusty uses the bathroom before Danny takes a shower then exchanges the shampoo with hair dye so his hair changes green. Danny has his own bathroom so why would this even happen?
Season 5
Episode 3: 'Take my sister please' - There is all of a sudden carpet in the bathroom. I realize Stephanie "moved" into the bathroom but it doesn't explain why there is carpet in there. They took out the 2nd set of stairs from the basement. It makes sense to not have them but they should have thought about it before putting them in.
Season 6
Episode 2: 'The long goodbye' - This is the episode where Michelle & Denise meet again but act like it's their first time meeting. It might be the first they are in the same classroom but they met in earlier episodes.
Episode 6: 'Educating Jessie' - This is the episode that says he didn't graduate high school but in previous episodes/seasons, he talks about graduating like when DJ does the senior prank.
Episode 10: 'I'm not DJ' - This is the episode where Stephanie gets her ears pierced by Kimmy even though she has had actual earrings in before.
Episode 11: 'Dodging mothers' - The new manager at the radio station is from MTV who was also in another episode as herself when Jessie makes is 'Forever' video. So she plays two different people in the series, one being herself.
Episode 14: 'Birthday blues' - Stephanie & Michelle's room is back to the old way before Viki's mom designed it. Two episodes later the room is back to being redecorated.
Episode 15: 'Be true to your pre-school' - Kimmy's brother's name is Garth but in Fuller House it's Jimmy. It's funny how Becky & Jessie lie on an application to get their kids in school when years later in real life, Lori actually does it. I guess she didn't learn anything from the episode.
Episode 19: 'Subterranean graduation blues' - While on the subway to Jessie's "graduation", he said how his kid's finally finished the Elvis puzzle, the last piece was the left side burn, In previous clips, the finished piece was actually the nose.
Episodes 23 & 24: 'The house meets the mouse' - How were Kimmy & Steve able to go to Disneyland with everyone? The Tanner's went because it was part of a business trip. I guess Steve & Kimmy paid for themselves? Not only in this episode but in other ones too, they get Becky & Jessie's anniversary wrong. They got married on Valentine's day and yet when they celebrate their anniversary, it seems like it's on another day instead of Feb. 14th.
Season 7
Episode 6: 'Smash club next gen' - They said the club was closed for two years but how can that be when they have been there in the last two years?
Episode 7: 'High anxiety' - Where were the yard monitors when Michelle & Denise climbed the fence to get the Frisbee? Schools never leave kids outside with no supervision.
Season 8
Episode 1: 'Comet's excellent adventure' - Comet had his leash when he ran away but later there is no leash. Even if he chewed it off, there would be something left & there wasn't. How did the dogs get on the cable car & on top of the coit tower? They wouldn't be allowed.
Episode 14: 'Super bowl fun day' - Joey & Jessie take the kids to a bar when Joey didn't want to take them to the museum. Kid's are not allowed in bars so this wouldn't be possible. The kids found the remote & the boxes to operate the tv's were out in the public area of the bar. Really? This set up would never happen. One of the bar guys was in two other episodes: when Jessie & family got stuck on the subway to the graduation & the other one I don't remember but I know he was in another one.
Episode 15: 'My left & right foot' - This is the episode where Becky sings horrible but sings decent in other episodes
Episode 17: 'Dateless in SF' - Another Valentine's day & not a word that it's Becky & Jessie's anniversary. How could they forget?
Fuller House Season 1
Episode 2: 'Moving day' - It looks like there is now a bathroom in the basement, when was that done? There was never one in there. Niki & Alex's bedroom is very tiny but it was never that small. Two people can't fit in that closet so yeah. I guess they want the boys to share a room but to shrink the twin's bedroom like that was crazy & kinda stupid.
Episode 10: 'A giant leap' - During the baseball game, DJ's oldest son uses Matt's credit card to purchase a Jersey. The cashier saw that it belonged to someone else & still ran it through. That would never happen if the cashier was smart. The store could be sued. Then at the end Dj's youngest son caught the ball that went right over the stadium, yeah right.
Episode 13: 'Love is in the air' - Again Jessie & Becky's anniversary is not mentioned on Valentine's day. Why does this keep happening?
Season 2
Episode 1: 'Welcome back' - This is where Kimmy's brother shows up. All of a sudden he is younger than Kimmy and has a different name from Full House.
Episode 6: 'Fuller Thanksgiving' - All of a sudden Joey is married (and has a ring on) with four kids. How come they were never mentioned in season 1 and he didn't have a ring on?
Episode 10: 'New kids in the house' - First off, I freakin' love that NKOTB were in an episode. Wish Donnie could have been but he had to film 'Blue Bloods', at least he did a zoom call. So many things though were wrong with this episode. DJ always had pillow person not unless something happened to it after the original series which then they should have explained better. I know why Donnie couldn't be on the show but he would never miss a concert unless he was sick or it was an emergency. The producers of 'Blue Bloods' work with Donnie the best they can when he has New Kids stuff to do (Donnie has said this before). The guys have their own tour buses and don't use limos unless it's for a specific reason. Also, there would be no way the girls would be able to highjack the limo. It was a funny episode and all but yeah.
Season 4
Episode 7: 'President Fuller' - In this episode, Stephanie says she is 38 & later it mentions Jimmy is 28. There is nothing wrong with that but it doesn't fit with the whole storyline of Full House especially if in the original he is older than Kimmy and now he is younger. So confusing.
Season 5
Episode 1: 'Welcome home baby to be named later' - The three kids go up to the attic to get some baby clothes that were long put away. Um, Kimmy is living in the attic. Does this mean there are two attics? Not only does that not make sense at all but it would change a large part of the show like in Full House the girls could have had their own rooms and same with the boys in Fuller House.
Episode 16: 'The nearlywed game' - So in this episode, all the couples compete in a game to see which couple knows each other better. At one point Jimmy dresses up like Stephanie from an episode in Full House when she was doing a dance number for a telethon. He even did the dance (kinda funny). How would he even get clothes to match her outfit from back then? He mentioned something about how he remembered seeing her do that dance. Well if they are like 10 years apart & he is younger, he wouldn't have been alive yet when she did that number. Now if he was older like he is actually supposed to be, then he could say he remembered watching her dance. None of it makes any sense at all.
Well, that is all the crazy stuff that doesn't make sense from the whole series that I happened to catch. Again I am sure I missed a lot more stuff but this is what I was able to pick up on. Even though both shows are campy and makes no sense at all, I still very much enjoy watching the series. I was sad when it ended on Netflix. I do wonder how they would have handled the sad death of Bob if they were still doing the show.
