Full House Is A Hit In This House

Do you remember the classic TV shows that we enjoyed when we were younger? For those of you who are from my generation I'm sure that you remember shows like Saved By the Bell, Family Ties, and Charles In Charge. But my ultimate favorite was Full House!

Did you know that you can catch the show in syndication on ABC Family? I didn't know. My two girls found it when looking for something to watch one day. And they have fallen in love with Full House as much as I did when I was younger.

Full House has now been added to the must watch list at the Peterson home. It's a show that the girls know they can watch and I trust to be clean enough for them to watch.

I want to know what happened to clean good family friendly shows. Shows that you could watch with your kids. Shows that were fun but also usually ended with you learning some kid of life lesson. Where are those shows? Fortunately we have syndication to help answer those questions.

Full House is about a widower father, Danny played by Bob Saget who is trying to raise his three daughters. He gets help from his best friend, Joey played by Dave Coulier and his brother-in-law, Jesse played by John Stamos. The eldest daughter, D.J played by Candace Cameron, is a typical teenager facing everyday problems. Middle daughter, Stephanie played by Jodie Sweetin, is known for being a chatterbox. While youngest daughter, Michelle played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen stole America's hearts as we watched her (them) grow up on our TV screens.

Full house ran for eight seasons and featured 192 episodes. Through out the run of the show we got to see the girls grow up dealing with such problems and issues as boyfriends, friends, peer pressure, and getting along with your siblings. The show also dealt with deeper topics such as a loss of a parent, fears, and relationship issues.

Though Full House was set in San Fransisco the show was actually taped at the Warner Brothers Studio in Los Angeles. The show did shoot on location a few times, most memorable being in Hawaii and Walt Disney World. The opening credit sequence was shot in San Fransisco.

I love that I can watch Full House with my 5 and 6 year old and not have to worry about what they are going to see. I also like that each episode teaches a life lesson in some way, whether it is something as simple as getting along with each other or as complex as dealing with the loss of a loved one. My girls love that they are watching a show that Mommy watched when she was their age.

Full House presents many opportunities for you as a parent to interact with your child. I am a big advocate of making TV viewing time a more interactive time for families. I like asking questions about what my child is thinking or feeling. What they think might happen next, what could be another choice that a particular character could make, what would they choose? These are great ways to get their minds working while they are watching TV.

I definitely think that Full House is a great family friendly show that definitely makes it on to our TV viewing list. If you loved Full House as a child or even if you have never watched it before, check it out for yourself now. See if you don't fall in love with the Tanner family, too!
