    It's not a bad show, but it's often overdone with cheesy undertones. Never once did an episode go by without a "lesson" being learned. (yes, I know that's the point of the Tanner family) But it's like they couldn't grow a pair and move on. It always had to be stupid things like "No one wants to live with me".

    Its alright, I don't really think it deserves a 31 though. Jeez, when I saw that on TV I just said What the hell. Its overly cheesy, and a kind of dull show in general.. But, it sets good examples for young viewers and is worth watching when there's nothing on.

    the only reason this unfunny garbage ran for 8 **** SEASONS was because it was the one show that was almost not completely terrible and was okay enough to watch when nothing else was on. to me and my friends: it was the show we watched just because there was nothing good on tv. then a used SNES came along and we finally found something to do. the fact that this is becoming "popular" to athe only reason this unfunny garbage ran for 8 **** SEASONS was because it was the one show that was almost not completely terrible and was okay enough to watch when nothing else was on. to me and my friends: it was the show we watched just because there was nothing good on tv. then a used SNES came along and we finally found something to do. the fact that this is becoming "popular" to a bunch of 10 year olds (that want to look "grown up" by watching sitcoms like mom and dad..... been there done that) is just **** shameful.

    oh, if you want to listen to the opinion of someone that was a little older than me and understood more of the "jokes" then look up: "nostalgia critic full house".    … Expand

    quite possibly one of the worst things that have ever been on television, please do yourself a favor and watch it without the laugh track. You can see for yourself how ''funny'' it is.

    Dave Coulier was great as Joey Gladstone,but John Stamos rocked too! Lori Loughlin was awesome as Becky(Rebecca Donaldson Katsopolis).Bob Saget was hilarious as the widowed Danny Tanner,as were Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner,Candace Cameron as D.J. Tanner,and the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner.

    Most people who go into this expecting it to be a good series to sit down and enjoy watching with the family will absolutely get what they want. The show provides some cheesy but laugh-out-loud humor that will make even the parents crack up. However, viewing this as a critic, you will definitely be questioning some elements of the show.

The show provides some cheesy but laugh-out-loud humor that will make even the parents crack up. However, viewing this as a critic, you will definitely be questioning some elements of the show. If you grew up watching this show, you will know that a lesson is learned by the children at the end of each episode, almost always with morose music playing in the background and even a character shedding some tears. When the show was in it's first seasons, the lessons learned were expected, as the children were growing up, but, the lessons at the end of the episodes in later season seem forced, and some are so cheesy it seems as if the producers simply got bored one day. By far the worst episode is when Jessie (John Stamos) is finally moving out of the house with his new wife Rebecca, but Michelle (a toddler at this point), is sad to see him go. In my opinion, they grew Michelle up way too quickly, as she was speaking in full sentences at 2 years old, and was reading books by 4. She shouldn't have been sad to see him move out as she was only a toddler and barely had any memories of him. Even Jessie shed some tears on this occasion! Why?! You're not moving away forever! Sorry. It's just some of the tear-jerking moments seemed so forced and others are some that the characters should already know (common sense), but then there are the ones that don't make any sense. Even though it is a large family, there shouldn't be that much drama within it. Also, everyone hated Kimmy Gibbler, but, for some reason, I never had a problem with her. She wasn't annoying at all. That, too, was forced as well, instead of grown over time, like Urkel. Overall, this is a very family-friendly show that will teach audience children some lessons about the real world, but some of it is forced, over-the-top, melodramatic, or nonsensical.… Expand

    Now don't fret this is a great show but it's very predictable. plus there was a weird snes game,a bad documentary, and to many quotes that gets annoying after 2 seasons

    Saw the first episode called Our Very First Show saw the episode and yeah I did not think it would be this bad. horrible unfunny and it's gets so boring at times. I don't care what's in the other episode I know it would be the biggest waste of time.

    This show is a classic. The cast was very well put together, and the characters all seemed realistic and well thought out. The humor was corny, but still very funny. All of the characters are relate-able, or seem very much like someone you would meet in real life. They deal with situations that could very well happen to anyone, and many are pretty comical.

    A full house is better than an empty one, and indeed poker lessons can apply to life as well. I've never been more entranced by a man named Bob than when I was binge watching this show on my magnavox. It was the summer of 2016... and this show helped me realize that life, like a house, can be full.

    It has lots of laughs but few credible plot crises to draw its energy from. But there are reminders of Dad's plight - as when he stands alone, after his mother leaves, and reflects on the very uncomic reality of dealing with his family's future. [18 Sept 1987, p.22]

    Demonstrates plenty of marksmanship in the old aim-to-please department. It has a nice convivial camaraderie going for it, and one fail-safe ingredient in reserve: the proverbial cute baby. [22 Sept 1987, p.D1]
