Over time, the three men as well as the children bond and become closer to one another. In season two, Danny is reassigned from his duties as sports anchor by his television station to become co-host of a local morning television show, Wake Up, San Francisco, and is teamed up with Nebraska native Rebecca Donaldson. Jesse and Becky eventually fall in love and get married in season four. In season five, Becky gives birth to twin sons, Nicky and Alex. Main cast Main article : List of Full House and Fuller House characters John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis Bob Saget as Danny Tanner Dave Coulier as Joey Gladstone Candace Cameron as D.J. Tanner Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner Lori Loughlin as Rebecca Donaldson Katsopolis Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler Scott Weinger as Steve Hale Blake and Dylan Tuomy - Wilhoit as Nicky and Alex Katsopolis Jump up ^ The character 's surname was changed from `` Cochran '' to `` Katsopolis '' after the first season ended. Production Casting John Posey as Danny Tanner in the pilot ( shown with Sweetin and Cameron as Stephanie and D.J. ) The producers ' first choice to play the character of Danny Tanner was Bob Saget. Saget was not available to appear in the pilot due to his commitment as an on - air contributor to CBS 's The Morning Program. The producers instead cast actor John Posey to play Danny. Posey only appeared in the unaired pilot ( which is included on the DVD release of Season 1 ). John Stamos 's character was originally named Jesse Cochran ; Stamos reportedly wanted his character to better reflect his Greek heritage, so producers decided to change the character 's surname to Katsopolis ( beginning with season two ). To comply with child labor laws, twins Ashley and Mary - Kate Olsen were cast to alternate in the role of Michelle during tapings. The girls were jointly credited as `` Mary Kate Ashley Olsen '' in seasons two through seven because the producers did not want audiences to know that the Michelle character was played by twins. ( In an occasional running gag, both twins would occasionally appear together in fantasy sequences. ) All six of the original cast members remained with the show through its entire eight - year run, with five characters added to the cast along the way. Kimmy Gibbler, a recurring character in seasons one through four, was upgraded to a regular in season five. Rebecca Donaldson ( later Katsopolis ) originally appeared for six episodes in season two as Danny 's co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco ; producers decided to expand her role and made her a regular the following season. Nicky and Alex Katsopolis, the twin sons of Jesse and Rebecca, made their debut in season five. As babies, the children were played by Daniel and Kevin Renteria, and in season six, the roles of the twins were succeeded by Blake and Dylan Tuomy - Wilhoit. The last character added was Steve Hale, who was D.J. 's boyfriend in seasons six and seven. He returned in the second half of the series finale after Kimmy set him up with D.J. to be her date for the senior prom. He was played by Scott Weinger. Comet, the family dog, was played by a golden retriever named Buddy. Buddy later appeared in the original Air Bud ( 1997 ) before dying of lung cancer at the age of nine. Taping The series was created by Jeff Franklin and executive produced by Franklin, along with Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett. The series was produced by Jeff Franklin Productions and Miller - Boyett Productions, in association with Lorimar - Telepictures ( 1987 -- 88 ), Lorimar Television ( 1988 -- 93 ), and then by Warner Bros. Television ( 1993 -- 95 ) after Lorimar was folded into Warner Bros. 's existing television production division. Although the series was set in San Francisco, the sitcom itself was taped at the Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles. Outside of certain excerpts in the opening title sequences, the only episode to have actually been taped in San Francisco was the first episode of season eight, `` Comet 's Excellent Adventure ''. There were also a few episodes which were filmed on - location elsewhere, most notably Hawaii in the season three premiere `` Tanner 's Island '', and at Walt Disney World for the two - part sixth - season finale `` The House Meets the Mouse ''. The series experienced heavy turnover with its writing staff throughout its run, the first season in particular had at least three writing staff changes with Lenny Ripps ( who remained with the show until the early part of the fourth season, by then serving as a creative consultant ) and Russell Marcus being the only writers surviving the changes through the entire season. Show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin was the only writer to remain with the series throughout its entire eight - season run ( Franklin also wrote and directed several episodes during the first five seasons ). Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler joined the series ' writing staff in the second season as producers and remained with the show until its 1995 cancellation ; Warren and Rinsler took over as head writers by season five and assumed showrunning duties as executive producers for the sixth season to allow Franklin to focus on Hangin ' With Mr. Cooper ( Full House served as Cooper 's lead - in when the former aired on Tuesday nights during the 1992 -- 93 season ). Theme song The show 's theme song, `` Everywhere You Look '', was performed by Jesse Frederick, who co-wrote the song with writing partner Bennett Salvay and series creator Jeff Franklin. Various instrumental versions of the theme song were used in the closing credits ; the version used during seasons three through eight was also used in the opening credits in some early syndication runs, although the song was almost always truncated to the chorus for broadcast. Seasons one through five used a longer version of the theme song. In syndicated airings, the line `` you miss your old familiar friends, but waiting just around the bend '' replaced the lines starting with `` how did I get delivered here, somebody tell me please... '' ( after ABC Family acquired the series in 2003, it became the first television outlet to air the long versions of the theme since the series ' ABC run, which were included only in select episodes from the first five seasons, whereas the full version was used in most episodes during those seasons ). Episodes Main article : List of Full House episodes Full House originally aired on Fridays from September 1987 to August 1991, which spanned the show 's first four seasons, and later became the flagship program of ABC 's newly launched TGIF block in September 1989. The show was briefly moved to Tuesdays during the 1987 -- 88 season and then aired twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays for a few months in order to help the series build an audience. It remained on Fridays permanently for the next three seasons, as the show 's ratings increased. Full House was moved to Tuesdays full - time for season five and remained there until the series ended in 1995. While the show 's first season was not very successful, mostly because it was a new series placed in an 8 p.m. Eastern timeslot ( most freshman series start out in protected time slots preceded by successful lead - ins ), the show quickly became popular during its second season as it was placed immediately following the established hit show Perfect Strangers ( which was also produced by Tom Miller and Bob Boyett ). From season three onwards, it was ranked among Nielsen 's Top 30 shows ( a ratings increase which allowed the series to move back to Fridays at 8 p.m. ). By the fourth season, the series jumped to the Top 20 and remained there until the seventh season ( the series peaked at the top ten during seasons five and six ). In 1995, despite the fact the show was still rated in the top 25, ABC announced that it was canceling the show after eight seasons due to the increasing costs of producing the series. The one - hour series finale was watched by 24.3 million viewers, ranking No. 7 for the week and attracting a 14.6 household rating and a 25 percent audience share.

Television Distribution handles the domestic and international syndication rights to the series. During the summer of 1991, reruns of the early seasons began airing in a daily daytime strip on NBC. Starting in September 1991, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution began distributing Full House for broadcast in off - network syndication and was syndicated on various local stations nationwide until 2003. In 1998, Atlanta - based cable superstation TBS ( which became a general entertainment cable channel in October 2007 ) and Chicago - based superstation WGN ( which carried the series locally in the Chicago market via WGN - TV ) obtained cable rights to the series and aired the show every weekday until 2002 when it was dropped from the schedules of both networks ; the series returned to TBS on December 9, 2013. In September 2003, ABC Family acquired the series ; as a result, ABC Family became the first network since ABC to air the original extended version of the theme song, featured in select episodes of the first five seasons ; by the time ABC Family 's rights to the series expired in December 2013, the channel ran the closing credits over the last 30 seconds of the final scene, albeit at the bottom of the screen ( it was previously played over the channel 's genericized credit sequence design ). In other broadcast and cable syndication runs ( as well as most other episodes aired on ABC Family ), a shortened version of the main theme with alternate lyrics is used for all episodes of the first five seasons ; however, an altered version of the opening credits for seasons six and seven is used, removing the lyric `` Whatever happened to predictability ; the milkman, the paperboy, evenin ' TV '' that was kept in the long version of the theme during those seasons ( the season eight title sequence airs as is ). Nick at Nite acquired the series in 2003, and aired it from October 6 of that year until April 10, 2009 ; several months later on August 31, 2009, it moved to sister channel The N and continued to air on that channel after its September 28, 2009, rebrand as TeenNick, where it remained until October 24, 2010. The following day on October 25, the series returned to Nick at Nite after a one - year absence, airing in the hour leading into the start of Nickelodeon 's broadcast day. Soon after, though, it was dropped from Nick at Nite again, returning to TeenNick until September 2012, where it was then transferred back to Nick at Nite. When NickSplat lost an hour of broadcast, the series returned to TeenNick again on October 2, 2017. In 2014, episodes have averaged 1.5 million viewers on Nick at Nite, which is up 7 percent from 2013 and a 0.4 rating in the key 18 -- 49 demographic, up 8 percent from 2013. On September 29, 2017, Hulu acquired the streaming rights to Full House along with fellow Warner Bros. TV productions Family Matters, Hangin ' with Mr. Cooper, Perfect Strangers and Step by Step in addition to fellow ABC programs Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs and Home Improvement. Critical reception This section may be unbalanced towards certain viewpoints. Please improve the article by adding information on neglected viewpoints, or discuss the issue on the talk page. ( January 2017 ) Despite the show 's popularity, critical acclaim by viewers, and cult following, critics ' reviews for Full House were by most accounts mixed to mediocre, particularly in its early years but became more positive in later years. The first season holds an aggregate score of 31 / 100 ( `` Generally unfavorable reviews '' ) on Metacritic. In Slate, Willa Paskin referred to the series as `` a hackneyed and saccharine family sitcom ''. Isaac Feldberg opined that it was `` archetypally average, hiding behind a ubiquitous laugh track and obnoxiously on - the - nose life lessons. '' Reunions During Bob Saget 's final season as host of America 's Funniest Home Videos, six other Full House cast alumni ( John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and Lori Loughlin ) reunited on the May 9, 1997, episode ( the episode which preceded Saget 's final episode as host of that series ). In a December 2008 news story, it was reported that John Stamos was planning a reunion movie. This idea was quickly withdrawn, because reportedly most of the cast was not interested. In 2009, Stamos announced that a feature film based on the show was still planned. Stamos told The New York Daily News, `` I 'm working on a movie idea, but it would n't be us playing us. I 'm not 100 % sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years. '' Stamos posited Steve Carell and Tracy Morgan for the roles of Danny and Joey respectively. In 2012, eight of the Full House cast members reunited in Los Angeles for their 25th anniversary. Publicists for Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen said that they `` were n't able to attend, given their work schedules. '' On July 19, 2013, the original Jesse and the Rippers ( the band which Jesse Katsopolis served as frontman, until he was voted out in season 8 ) reunited on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The group performed a medley of covers including the Beach Boys ' `` Forever, '' Elvis Presley 's `` Little Sister, '' `` Hippy Hippy Shake '', and ending with the Full House theme `` Everywhere You Look ''. Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin made cameo appearances. In January 2014, Saget, Stamos, and Coulier appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They each reprised their characters, while Fallon dressed in child 's pajamas in a bed framed by four gigantic pencils, similar to Michelle Tanner 's bed from the show. Saget, Stamos, and Coulier said some of their famous catchphrases from the show, as well as singing `` The Teddy Bear '' song. Stamos, Saget and Coulier also appeared together in a 2014 commercial for Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt ( for which Stamos serves as spokesperson ) that debuted during Super Bowl XLVIII, days after their appearance on Late Night. Spin - off series Main article : Fuller House ( TV series ) In August 2014, reports circulated that Warner Bros. Television was considering a series spin - off. John Stamos, who has an ownership stake in the show, headed up the attempt to get the series back into production. Netflix closed a deal to produce a 13 - episode sequel series tentatively titled Fuller House, with many of the original series cast members reprising their roles. Notably, Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen both declined to reprise the role of Michelle in the first season, although the creators and producers said they could still possibly appear in future seasons. Stamos would guest star as well and serve as producer. Filming began on July 25, 2015. Like the original series, the show is set in San Francisco. The original series idea was focused on D.J., a veterinarian struggling to raise three boys after her firefighter husband, Tommy Fuller is killed in the line of duty ; Stephanie, who is aspiring to become a musician ; and Kimmy, who is a party planner and a single mother to a teenage daughter, Ramona. The show 's premise follows one similar to the original series when Stephanie makes plans to put her career on hold for a while and move in with D.J. to help take care of her children. Almost immediately afterwards, Kimmy makes the same offer for her and Ramona to move in and help out. Netflix premiered the series on February 26, 2016, with the premiere episode featuring a Tanner family reunion. As of September 22, 2017 there have been three seasons of the series. Other media DVD Releases Warner Home Video released all eight seasons of the series on DVD in Region 1 between 2005 and 2007. A complete series box - set containing all 192 episodes was released on November 6, 2007. As of 2016, the complete series is available for purchase via online retailers such as Amazon.

( October 2017 ) Books based on Full House are geared toward children primarily between the ages of 8 and 14. Warner Bros., which holds the rights to Full House and its associated characters, would not permit others to use their characters, and selected who could write books based on the television series. The books are based on the Silhouette romance novels by Mills & Boon. Full House Michelle # 7 : Summer Rhapsody is a Silhouette Special Edition # 75 by Nancy John and Laura O'Neil in February 1983. The series includes the following : Full House Stephanie : These 33 books were written from the point of view of the Tanners ' middle daughter, Stephanie Tanner. They take place with Stephanie in a different middle school, likely because of a slightly different redistricting plan compared to the one mentioned in season seven 's `` Fast Friends ''. She has different best friends as well, Allie Taylor and Darcy Powell. Though these are book creations, she has known Allie since kindergarten, and there are several places in the first five seasons of Full House where fans think an unnamed extra could be Allie. This series begins with Stephanie being pressured to join a clique called the Flamingos, by completing a series of dares. She almost does the last one, though she is not sure if she wants to before D.J. catches her trying to steal Danny 's phone card. Stephanie explains tearfully what was happening, and D.J. helps her to understand what the Flamingos were really up to : they wanted to use the phone card to call their boyfriends. Stephanie and the Flamingos become fierce rivals. Hip Hop Til You Drop, Two for One Christmas Fun, and Ten Ways to Wreck a Date are the most popular. Full House Michelle : These 40 stories are told from Michelle 's point of view. The first 27 feature more of her, and the other Tanners ', home life than others, though some focus on events at school, whereas the last 14, the `` Michelle and Friends '' series, focuses mostly on Michelle and her classmates. Unlike Stephanie, Michelle goes to the same elementary school but is in a different class. Two stories were translated and published in Japan in February 2007. Super special My Best Friend is a Movie Star came out in September 1996, and along with The Substitute Teacher and How to be Cool are the most popular. Full House Sisters : These 14 books focus on Michelle and Stephanie 's friendship and comical situations that occur between them. The sisters often alternate points of view in the story. Full House : Dear Michelle : These four books were published several years after the others stopped being produced. They take place with Michelle in the third grade, where she writes an advice column for her class paper. Club Stephanie : 1997 - 2001 revival series with the Sisters series. Sweetin is younger than Nickelodeon 's Larisa Oleynik in Alex, You 're Glowing and Irene Ng in Hot Rock. Russian adaptation In 2006, Full House was one of a group of Warner Brothers properties licensed to Moscow - based network STS for adaptation to Russian. The show, Topsy - Turvy House ( ru : Дом кувырком ) followed the plots of the American version with changes to accommodate cultural differences. It ran for two seasons, beginning in 2009. The Unauthorized Full House story On August 22, 2015, a television movie called The Unauthorized Full House Story was first released by Lifetime. It tells the behind - the - scenes story of the series. Awards and nominations This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources.
