TSM goes Step by Step to the Full House of Family Matters

[wnyxmcneal]

I didn't understand why it took so long for someone to call them a African-American person.

Anyone remember the episode where Laura accidentally sells the Winslow family quilt? That's a great one

 

[still fly]

I also liked the episode of Family Matters where Laura friend get's shot by the female gangbangers and then they have Jaleel White at end talking about gun violence.

I'm surprised no one has dropped a Grandmama reference at this point. I love how the character wasn't supposed to be Larry Johnson dressed as Grandmama, but he was really supposed to be a grandma.

Fox 5 Network commercials (January 1994)
Oh my misbegotten youth.

Edit---this is what came up when I searched "Grandmama Family Matters" on YouTube. Assuming there was going to be a commercial for said episode.

I think very briefly Grandmama did reveal "herself" as LJ, she takes off the glasses and gets all mean.

Favourite episode of Full House? Gotta be the Tommy Paige episode right?

Right away, without watching the video, I can tell you I love the Life Savers commercial featured in the video thumbnail.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Done by Pixar. Watch it Venk, there's an Macho Man Slim Jim ad and one of those boss MORTAL KOMBATTT commercials.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Yes, ALL of these commercials are awesome. Skittles one brings back fond memories.

 

[Psycho Penguin]

Eddie Winslow was like the reverse Eric Matthews, who got dumber as the show went on.

 

[BlackFlagg]

Eric didn't just get dumber, he pretty much turned into a cartoon character.

Remember when they had the serious "Will the baby live or die!?" episodes on BMW? Those seemed out of place.

There are three Step by Step episodes that I remember:

1.) Dana is stranded at some bar because she heard her favorite singer was gonna be there and her friend bails on her which leads to her being harassed by the "tough guys" until Frank and Cody save the day kicking all kinds oif ass.

2.) JT and Cody score dates with two promiscuious sisters and at the end, JT realizes that it wouldn't be right to have sex with one of them. We also learn that Cody's a virgin.

3.) Dana's prom date reunites with his ex-girlfriend on prom night and JT feels bad about it and dances the final dance with her.

And the best episode of Family Matters by far is the episode where Waldo runs away and joins the army.

BMW had a bunch of serious episodes. Remember when Shawn's dad died? Or when Mr. Turner almost did? Or when Mr. Feeny was sick? Health issues were a big issue in the BMW universe!

Thankfully the kid didn't ruin the show, and it was worth it just for the last episode (I think, or close to it) when the kid was older and looked just like a younger Cory lol

Full House Divided

Harriette and her co-workers get a new boss Mr. Breenner (Mark Linn-Baker) who uses verbal abuse to try to make his employees perform better. Meanwhile, Urkel wins a chance to win $1 million by making a half-court shot during the halftime portion of an Los Angeles Clippers game.


Wait...wasn't the show set in Chicago? Why would Urkel be attempting at a half court shot halfway across the country? Of all the illogical things to happen on this show, why am I complaining about this?

As long as we're nitpicking, Harriet goes to work for a guy who looks exactly like the dude from her old job?

BMW had a bunch of serious episodes.

The final season is just serious episode after serious episode. Only Eric really brings the laughs by being mentally retarded. No wonder the commercials at the time hyped up this season as "the most dramatic season of Boy Meets World EVER!" I could see why people stopped watching the show by the end.

I remember bits and pieces of those episodes. There's also one where Dana gets drunk at a frat party and flashes her boobs. Apparently everyone gets to see the pictures, and I remember my dad being upset that they didn't show them.

I love the one where Al befriends a dad that's really cool and it emasculates Frank, so he has to do the human fly thing

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Only have the vaguest memories of a few episodes, one where J.T. and Cody hosted a ripoff of Wayne's World and one where the nerdy kid takes karate lessons for an asshole Sensei John Kreese like instructor who keeps making fun of him and well needless to say Cody ends up kicking a little ass at the end.

Fuck it---wasn't there an episode where Urkel did karate do?


None of them match up to Kung Fu Tom Hanks fighting The Fonz on Happy Days though.

I remember having a Family Matters coloring book. Used to kill my supply of brown crayons.

No he used his transformation chamber to turn himself into BRUCE LEE. Also Carl, 3J, and Richie got turned into Bruce Lee's in different eps.

Get that crappy soap opera shit out of my crappy sitcom thread, Big Green.

 

[EdwardKnoxII]

Speaking of Eddie Winslow this use to be his wife. Her name is Karrine Steffans and she's known for being a hip hop video vixen that's slept with a shitload of artists and even wrote a book about it.

Was King magazine named after Martin Luther?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I'd love to think Dr. King's dream was to one day have a magazine filled with beautiful, scantily clad black ass (and Six From Blossom's ass too for good measure) named after him.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Blossom are the two TGIF shows that didn't actually air on TGIF (or even ABC). Though I'll unironically argue to this day that The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was legitimately a pretty good show.

I'm with you on that one, man. I legit love that show, not just in a nostalgic sort of way. Besides, how can you hate Carlton Banks!?!? HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Also, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air is the only show out of all of the ones that we've discussed that has kinda jumped back into mainstream relevance. In fact, I'd wager that it's actually more popular now than it was when it was actually on the air! I don't remember hearing much about it growing up, but now, all of a sudden, it seems like every 20-something watched the show growing up and knows how to do The Carlton Dance. Part of all this might be because Will Smith is still pop culturally relevant, and the fact that the show has been in syndication for 12 years helps, but still...I don't see Urkel T-shirts being sold like I do Carlton T-shirts!

I always liked the Speed rip-off where Carl has to stay on a treadmill.

But Speed came out after that episode, right? So...maybe an episode of Family Matters inspired Speed!

It's because posting the lyrics is a 4chan meme gone semi-mainstream or something.

To whom it may concern: Full House is one of the most nauseous pieces of garbage ever committed to videotape and your obsession with it is of unspeakable enormity.
