Full House Divided
Re: Joey
Yea, Joey was kind of an odd duck, but he didn't have a father growing up, and when his father was around, he was kind of a douche, so that explains why he used cartoons and comedy as an escape.
Also, the family made him live in the alcove when he moved in, while Jesse got his own room. Hello, second class citizen.
I always thought it was weird that they never even attempted to give Joey a long-term relationship. The only girl he had that lasted for more than one episode was Roxanne, and she sucked. I guess when you have a full house, there's only so many stories to go around.
I always liked the episode where Joey flips on the family for thinking he's a big joke.
They never called him Uncle Joey. He was just Joey. Jesse was Uncle Jesse. It's just that people get mixed up.

Re: Family Matters
Yea, it jumped the shark when Urkel became Stefan for the first time. Once you do that, there's no growing back. I remember the 7th season premiere, when they transported to Paris (?) and I realised that Family Matters had passed me by.
