Have a great week!

Hey Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast.

Today, I reviewed Season 2 of The Babysitter's Club. What I liked, what I didn't like and what I hope to see if we get a Season 3. Also I'll go on the record of saying, not a huge fan of the new access playing Dawn.

Have a great holiday week and enjoy the episode.

what did you think of Season 2 of The babysitter's Club?

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered Fuller House S1E2: Moving Day, February 26, 2016.

In this episode when the big day comes for Stephanie and Kimmy to join the Fuller house, Jackson feels outnumbered and takes drastic action.

This was a fun episode.

For a pilot, this worked really well and of course I loved it. I also loved the throwbacks to the pilot episode of Full House.

In my opinion, I felt that DJ having known that Kimmy and Ramona were moving in, she should have set the boys down and told them instead of guilt food making for Jackson and then just giving Ramona his room.

Also for Steph and Kimmy, if you're watching the kids make sure they're all there. Don't just assume he's somewhere in the house.

Some throwbacks from Full House, Max singing "It's Moving Day", Michelle sung this made up in Full House in Season 4's Fuller House when she thought the family was all moving into Becky's apartment.

Jesse snd Joey changing baby Michelle's diaper in the pilot episode of Full House vs. Kimmy and Stephanie changing baby Tommy's diaper in Fuller House.

Which was funnier?

I'd go with Jesse and Joey, because they really were clueless and there were so many steps they took to changing her diaper, meat rack, pot, sink sprayer, fan, paper towel, vegetable bag.

Join me next month January 2022, when I cover the first episode in the series Jesse and the Girls, Full House S2E12: Fogged In, which aired on January 20, 1989.

In this episode the fog rolls in and so does everyone else.

Have a great holiday next week and New Year!

See you January 7, 2022.

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered the first of two episodes in the We're Moving?/Moving In! Double Feature, with Full House S7E24: A House Divided, which aired on May 17, 1994.

In this episode a rich man who used to live in the Tanner house makes Danny a handsome offer to buy it back. The rest of the family's excited about moving on to new and bigger places, but Michelle tries to stop the sale so the family won't split up.

To be honest if this had ended up being the series finale of Full House, I would have been satisfied with how it ended.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Season 8, but this Season 7 Finale worked a lot better than the one we got imo, feel free to disagree.

You have to listen to the episode to find out what other Season 8 episode I would have been ok with being a Season 8 finale. I know I'll get some disagreement there.

I didn't care for Mr. Lou Bond at all. First off he just walks into their house, well, I'm Kimmy does let him in, but she should have known better. I really didn't care for his upper crust money talks attitude. I don't care what he was offering, I wouldn't have sold the house to him, I don't care that he did grow up there. So did the Tanner Girls and honestly there more important.

I mean how else would we have gotten Fuller House if they sold the house in Season 7. ANSWER: We wouldn't have.

I really wish they would have asked Michelle's option at that family meeting, it felt like they forgot she was even there. Then she pulled all those hijinks with Teddy and Denise just to get her voice heard.

I got choked up a little bit towards the end. This family and this show brings out the feels.

I play a couple clips from two other shows that ended with the family selling there house and moving away. Can you guess what they are?

Join me on December 24, when I cover Fuller House S1E2: Moving day, which aired on February 26, 2016.

In this episode when the big day comes for Stephanie and Kimmy to join the Fuller house, Jackson feels outnumbered and takes drastic action.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today I covered the last episode in the First Time Babysitter's Club Double Feature, Full House S3E14: Misadventures in Babysitting, which aired on January 12, 1990.

In this episode While holding a poker game at the house, Jesse calls Becky and "tells" her what she is going to do in a very bossy tone of voice. Also, D.J. wants to babysit to earn money for her own phone line, but her babysitting adventure is a little harder than she ever expected.

I really enjoyed this episode. I'm glad Jesse and Becky were able to compromise on where they wanted to spend Christmas. That's the thing about relationships sometimes it's best to compromise when open and honest communication isn't working.

Brian, the holy terror that DJ babysits really could have channeled that energy into something that would wear him out, I thought since DJ knew karate and Brian was playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and doing punches and fake karate kicks in circles around her, even doing the crane kick from Karate Kid, DJ could have taught him real karate moves since she had done karate in Season 2 and helped to wear him out and calm him down.

Sadly, this did not happen, since I guess what happens in Season 2 stays in Season 2, never to be referenced again.

Join me in December when I cover the next Double Feature, We're Moving?/Moving In!, featuring

Full House S7E24: A House Divided, which aired on May 17, 1994.

In this episode a rich man who used to live in the Tanner house makes Danny a handsome offer to buy it back. The rest of the family's excited about moving on to new and bigger places, but Michelle tries to stop the sale so the family won't split up.

and

Fuller House S1E2 Moving Day, which aired on February 26, 2016.

In this episode when the big day comes for Stephanie and Kimmy to join the Fuller house, Jackson feels outnumbered and takes drastic action.

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you in December!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, I covered the first episode in the First Time Babysitter's Club Double Feature, Full House S1E2: Our Very First Night, this episode aired on September 25, 1987.

In this episode Jesse takes the rap for DJ and Stephanie after they take advantage of him and stay up too late. Michelle gets her first tooth.

I really enjoyed this episode. It was hilarious with Jesse being taken advantage of by the girls. I mean really, two cartons of ice-cream after 11pm and then one large pizza?

Those girls should have been sick after all that food. I know I would have been as an adult.

Join me after Thanksgiving for Full House S3E14: Misadventures in Babysitting, which aired on January 12, 1990.

In this episode while holding a poker game at the house, Jesse calls Becky and "tells" her what she is going to do in a very bossy tone of voice. Also, D.J. wants to babysit to earn money for her own phone line, but her babysitting adventure is a little harder than she ever expected.

I hope you all enjoy this episode and I'll be back the day after Thanksgiving with the last half of the double feature.

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today, in honor of Elias Harger's (Max Fuller)Birthday, I'm covering Fuller House S5E14: Basic Training, which aired on June 2, 2020.

In this episode Max skips a grade and starts middle school. Ramon trains to defeat the reigning champ of a high-stakes sandwich-eating contest.

This was such a fun episode to cover. From Max skipping a grade and adjusting to middle school and then dressing like Matt's twin, it was hilarious to see Elias Harger play a less buttoned up vest and bow tie wearing straight arrow kid to a carefree backward hat wearing smack talker.

And Ramona taking on the sandwich king Berkowitz at Uncle Monty's all you can eat sandwich. Proving once again girl power rules!

We also learn how DJ and Kimmy became friends.

I laughed so much through this episode!

Join me in November when I cover the first episode in First Time Babysitters Club Double Feature Full House S1E2: Our Very First Night, which aired on September 25, 1987.

In this episode Jesse takes the rap for DJ and Stephanie after they take advantage of him and stay up too late. Michelle gets her first tooth.

Happy Birthday Elias (Max Fuller)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Full House Friday Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

Today I covered S4E6: A Pinch for a Pinch, which aired on October 26, 1990.

In this episode, Jesse gives Michelle bad advice on how to handle a bully. Also Stephanie takes her horoscope reading a little to seriously as her predictions according to Madame Kimmy start to coincidently come true. Joey's breakfast of a candy apple comes back to bite him in a bad way after his filling is pulled out and he ends up having to get a root canal. GAH!

Actually now that I think about it, Jesse's advice in both this episode and Nerd For A Day both backfire for Stephanie and Michelle. Stephanie gets a classmate's unrequited affections forced on her and Michelle lands in time out and is yanked out of school all thanks to Jesse.

I have so many things to say about this classroom scene and how this teacher should have been reprimanding Aaron from the start. Granted this is just the beginning of the Jesse/Aaron Bailey antagonizing banter we all come to love as the series goes on. Aaron's jabs just keep cutting Jesse deeper and deeper and we ending laughing harder and harder.

Here's the question I pose to you:

If Joey had been the volunteer and this happened how do you think he would have handled it?

Granted Jesse did go into this volunteer thing with a defeatist attitude of "I don't wanna be here, or actually have to do anything" and I think the kids just fed off his negative energy.

But you've gotta admit this isn't as bad as when Jesse pulled out Nicky and Alex from preschool because they wouldn't kiss him goodbye and he decided they weren't ready when really he wasn't ready to let them go.

Join me later this month when I cover in honor of Elias Harger's (Max Fuller)Birthday, Fuller House S5E14: Basic Training, which aired on June 2, 1990.

In this episode, Max skips a grade and starts middle school. Ramona trains to defeat the reigning champ of a high-stakes sandwich-eating contest.

Have a great weekend everyone!
