Full House/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: In part one of Season 6's finale, D.J. begins to see hallucinations of her boyfriend Steve in various Disney costumes. The first she sees is Steve as Aladdin, guess which Full House actor also voiced Aladdin in the Disney movies and cartoons?
    • Also, Candace Cameron (D.J.)'s big brother Kirk Cameron appeared in a season one episode as D.J.'s favorite cousin, who was like a big brother to her. What's somewhat irksome Freakin Hilarious about this is that he shares the same name as D.J.'s eventual boyfriend.
    • There was an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos that featured the two characters not played by Saget watching the show. Lampshaded when one of them mentions something about how either Bob's character is never around when AFV was on, or how Bob's character resembled the other show's host.
    • In one episode, Joey picks up a plush toy of baby Gonzo and does an imitation of him. Dave Coulier was a cast member of that series (though he didn't voice Gonzo).
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Hey, it's the host of America's Funniest Home Videos!
    • Except for a few early episodes, Danny's mom is played by Doris Roberts.
    • In Gia's debut episode, one of the members of her Girl Posse is Danielle Fishel.
    • The Olsen Twins, that is all.
    • Mike Seaver from Growing Pains is D.J.'s cousin in one episode (Strangely enough he's also named Steve).
    • T.J. from Smart Guy is one of Michelle's friends.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Hey, it's Aladdin (that's DJ's boyfriend Steve, by the way)!
  • Old Shame: Bob Saget would like to get the show behind him and concentrate on his stand up act, featuring jokes that would make Danny Tanner blush.
  • The Other Marty: John Posey replaced by Bob Saget. At the time the original pilot was done, Saget was unavailable due to working as a "comic correspondent" on the CBS Morning Program.
  • Playing Against Type: Bob Saget, who was - and still is - an incredibly vulgar comedian with dirty language, played Danny Tanner. He stated in an interview that he played a cleaner role to get money for his family.
  • Romance on the Set: Dave Coulier dated and later (briefly) married the actress who played Grown Up Michelle on the Season 3 episode "Those Better Not Be The Days".
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Full House could be the definition of this trope. The fact that this show is a half hour late 80s/early 90s time capsule may explain its current popularity with adults, who enjoy the show as a nostalgia piece.
  • What Could Have Been: See The Other Marty above. Also, the producers thought about replacing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen after the first season because it was hard to work with infants. If that had happened they wouldn't be stars, and they managed to avert Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.
    • The show originally had plans for a ninth season on The WB. Candace Cameron who played DJ was going to go to college and would be making sporadic appearances. John Stamos didn't want to switch networks (at the time, The WB was still a fledgling network that had yet to receive full national distribution), decided the eighth season would be his last and the show ended up being cancelled.
