The
Series that Made it Big!!!
Full
House ran for eight seasons and was one of the few primetime sitcoms to have
more than 190 episodes.
Early in its run, Full House received awful reviews, but it still became a
popular favorite, even as it continued to receive not-so-good reviews throughout
its run.
Set in San Francisco, this is a show about a very loving family headed by Danny
Tanner, who became a single father when his wife, Pam Tanner, was killed in a
car accident. Pam's brother Jesse, and Danny's best friend Joey Gladstone moved
into the house to help Danny raise his three daughters D.J., Stephanie, and
Michelle.
Starting from season 2, most of the episodes for the rest of the series had what
is called a "teaser", which is a scene that is shown before the theme
song and opening credits start. Some episodes in the series had what is called a
"tag", which is a scene that is shown during the closing credits at
the end of the show.
The Full House theme song, "Everywhere You Look", was written by Jeff
Franklin, Jesse Frederick, and Bennett Salvay, and it was performed by Jesse
Frederick. Jesse Frederick and Bennett Salvay also wrote the background music
for Full House, which included the music that was used to signal commercial
breaks.
