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 Full House S2E19: Blast From The Past, which aired on April 7, 1989 in the new series Joey's Ladies for the month of February.

In this episode Joey gets a phone call from an old girlfriend he had at college ten years ago. Kimmy 'spellbinds' DJ and Steph to a very close co-existence that lasts a lot longer than originally anticipated. Danny's obsession with tax codes inspires Michelle to do some monstrous cleaning.

I thought this was a good episode. We got to learn more about Joey's past and about how he gave up his heart to a girl who couldn't be more selfish in her actions. She broke up with him when they were in college with basically a deer john letter on her new boyfriend's stationary and broke his heart. Joey had been so in love with her he was going to propose.

Fast forward 10 years and his ex Patty Fogerty is back fresh off a divorce possibly from the guy she broke up with Joey for.

I knew this woman was bad news just from the phone call and Danny fills us all in since he has an extreme dislike for her. He's very protective of Joey and doesn't want to see him get hurt again.

She was bad news then and she's bad news now. She's clearly on the rebound and not looking for a relationship since she just got divorced, she's just looking for a fun time and to laugh and apparently no one makes her laugh more than Joey.

Overall, Joey realizes that what they had together was in the past and they're not falling in love again, just falling in love with the memories they shared.

My opinion of Patty, she's crazy, she wants to relive her college days so bad, she's living in the past and she can't let go. She even suggests to Joey that they strip down and go streaking through the neighborhood.

Lady, you're 30, lay off the cray-cray pills and let Joey move on with his life, and find yours. Good grief!

Speaking of bad news Plot B has Kimmy performing a magic show up in the girl's room, it's all fun and games until DJ and Stephanie find themselves handcuffed together.

Talk about anxiety inducing.

Luckily for them when the rest of the family discovers this Jesse remembers he had a pair of magic cuffs and frees them, he turns the magic on Kimmy when she winds up with her wristed cuffed together. Better get your brother to give you the key and release yourself.

Join me next week when I cover Full House S3E12: Joey & Stacy and ... Oh, Yeah, Jesse which aired on December 15, 1989.

In this episode Comet, the puppy, is an undisciplined chewer, and Jesse bosses around with Joey, who fascinates a background singer to a commercial.

I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!

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(s) since this is a 2 Parter, in the Jesse's Ladies Series with, Full House S1E19 and S1E20: The Seven Month Itch Parts 1 & 2 which aired on March 11, 1988 and March 18, 1988.

In PART 1 -

Jesse is fed up with his lack of privacy and family responsibilities, especially when they interfere with his love life.

In PART 2 -

Jesse leaves a note stating he can't take it anymore and wants to get away from the family. Stephanie and D. J. fear he's moving out, so they call and tell him Michelle is really sick so he'll rush home.

I enjoyed this episode as Jesse gets away with his friends and his new girl Samantha, he reexamines his life and his priorities and sees that being with the girls and Danny and Joey, being part of a family, is where his heart is and hoe he has to start growing up and making some changes in his life.

The girls adjust to Jesse being out of the house and I swear it's like the house and everyone can't function without him there.

Joey steps in as cook and we all know he's not the greatest as we see by the strawberry banana pancakes he tries and (fails) to make for the girls, one pancake ends up not completely done and is "soupy in the middle" as Steph puts a finger in it, DJ's pancake is stiff as a board as she bangs it against the table.

It gets even worse when Danny attempts to give DJ a guitar lesson, it goes just about as bad as when he teaches her to drive in Season 5, terrible, they both start yelling at each other.

DJ demands Danny tell her the truth "Is Uncle Jesse really moving out?" Danny caves and tells her yes, which leads DJ to unloading her feelings about how after her Mom died she didn't want to live in the house anymore, but having Uncle Jesse and Joey move in made living there enjoyable.

I like seeing how Jesse's absence affects the girls, enough so that they come up with a plan of action to get him to come home.

Cue the phone call, Michelle is sick. Apparently Jesse is the only one that Michelle will take her medicine from.

Jesse doesn't think twice as he abandons Samantha and his buddies and heads home.

We also get one of our first Jesse/Michelle talks, this is were he makes the decision to stay and be a part of the girls' lives.

I think this was the path he was meant to take, he soon meets Becky, and eventually they get married and start a family.

If he left the house that never happens and his relationship with Michelle that we know of never develops, Jesse has to stay in that house in order to change and grow and evolve and become the Jesse we know him as.

I hope you all enjoy the episode and have a great weekend!

Today, we meet Robin Winslow the next woman in the Jesse's Ladies Series in Full House S1E14: Half A Love Story, which aired on January 14, 1988.

In this episode Jesse uses baby Michelle to get a date with one of Danny's co-workers.

i enjoyed this episode.

One thing I can say about Robin is she knows what she wants and what she wants is a career, I mentioned while recording this episode that to me Robin felt like a pre Becky character and we saw how Jesse reacted to her, he was infatuated, because she represented exactly the time of woman he would want to settle down and raise a family with.

Girls like Jill Jesse's on again/off again fling, is the type of woman you can have fun with but not someone you would consider for a serious relationship at least from Jesse's perspective as he shrugs her off immediately because he only has eyes for Robin.

Robin on the other hand while charmed by Jesse's baby Michelle antics is wary of him due to past guys she's dated that were similar in personality, with the edgy, cut loose, motorcycle riding, leather jacket wearing tough guy types who she says "always gets me into trouble."

Robin is straight up honest with Jesse that if she wants to have anything other than a friendship with, she will be the one to make the first move.

Join me next week when close out the Jesse's Ladies Series with Jesse's Final Lady, Samantha in the first two part episode of the show, Full House S1E18: The Seven-Month Itch Part 1, which aired on March 11, 1988.

In this episode Jesse is fed up with his lack of privacy and family responsibilities, especially when they interfere with his love life.

and in Full House S1E19: The Seven-Month Itch Part 2, which aired on March 18, 1988.

In this episode Jesse leaves a note stating he can't take it anymore and wants to get away from the family. Stephanie and D. J. fear he's moving out, so they call and tell him Michelle is really sick so he'll rush home.

Hey Full House Fans,

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

I have a special episode for today in honor of Jodie Sweetin's (Stephanie) Birthday (January 19).

Today, I covered Full House S5E8: Gotta Dance, which aired on November 5, 1991.

In this episode In this episode, Stephanie pleads Danny to let her take an intense dance program, but Danny only gives in because he wasn't able to fulfill his dream of being a high jumper. Soon Stephanie decides that she doesn't want to do the intense program any more because it consumes too much of her life, but Danny is living his dreams simultaneously through her. so Stephanie purposely screws up so that she might not have to dance anymore. Becky wants Jesse to come to her baby shower but everyone knows that Jesse would never want to come, so she tricks him into coming. But Michelle gives in to telling Jesse the truth when he bribes her with ice cream.

I really liked this episode, it showed us how Stephanie throws herself into dancing before school and after school and soon it consumes her every waking thought until she realizes she's overcommitting herself and missing out on fun family activities like the baby shower.

All it takes is DJ planting the seed of doubt by telling Steph "if I had your dedication" I'd have no life". Stephanie ponders this (no friends, no TV, not outside or family activities) and considers telling Danny that she wants to quit dance.

At the dance recital Danny unbeknownst to him puts more pressure on Stephanie because he mentions a dance academy summer camp director is there to see the recital and Stephanie realizes it's too much, all dancing all the time during her Summer Vacation.

Instead of admit the to Danny, she feels guilty (because she begged him to let her do this) and she interrupts the dance recital by interjecting her own dance moves into the performance. Embarrassed she runs off stage and Danny gets the truth out of her.

I love what he says to her ("let's go back to when dancing was just a part of your life and not your whole life").

Her dance classmates forgive her and they try the number again.

The side plot with the baby shower was cute, but I feel it would have been nice to have it be "a big monster blow out party before we become parents" as Becky referred to it.

Jesse tricking Michelle with a ice cream sundae to spill the beans about it actually being a baby shower, he knows her vices.

Jesse and Becky make up and agree to be honest with each other.

Yeah, we know that won't last.

Remember later in Season 5 when he mixes up the twin babies Nicky and Alex and can't tell them apart only a few episodes later?

Have a great week everyone?

Today, I'm covering Full House S1E8: Jesse's Girl which aired on November 6, 1987.

In this episode on a stormy night, the family is up telling a bedtime story about a girl that caught the eye of both Jesse and Joey. The girl was being tutored by Jesse, but fell hard for Joey.

I enjoyed this episode.

Let me start out by saying this about Jesse, when he falls for a girl, he falls really HARD.

Sadly, this girl, Corrina Spicer does reciprocate, she does however find an attraction to Joey based on the way he interacts with the girls and cares about them. If we can say one thing that defines Joey it's his ability to make people laugh.

One quality above all that Corrina finds attractive in a man is a sense of humor, I would definitely agree with that statement.

I felt that Jesse came out too strong with her especially when she didn't share his feelings in return. He even treated her to a picnic in the wine district and going down by the bay and other extravagant activities that stretched his pocket book.

All though Corrina could have been honest and told Jesse "I'm flattered but I'm not interested in you that way".

Let's remember she came to Jesse for guitar lessons which he's not a very good teacher, because he's starts hitting on her the moment she comes into the room, saying she has pretty eyes and then he serenades her with an Elvis song leaning into her face as he sings.

If I were Corrina I would be uncomfortable with that.

Over all Corrina and Joey are the better match, because Joey doesn't push, he's just himself and that's what she falls for.

Join me next week when we meet another woman of Jesse's Ladies Robin Winslow in Full House S1E14: Half a Love Story, which aired on January 15, 1988.

In this episode Jesse uses baby Michelle to get a date with one of Danny's co-workers.

Now granted she and Jesse didn't go out and decided to just be friends but she still counts because she did agree to go on a date with him.

Also we meet an on again off again girlfriend of Jesse's named Jill who has something surprising in common with Robin.

Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the podcast episode.

Today, I kick off a new Jesse Series for January 2023, Jesse's Ladies and I'm starting with Full House S1E5: Sea Cruise, which aired on October 16, 1987. Basically covering all the ladies that came before Becky.

In this episode Danny's all-male fishing trip turns into a love-boat cruise.

The girls spend the night at Grandma's leaving the guys with an empty house for the first time ever.

Danny uses this opportunity to suggest they go on a midnight fishing trip down at the marina, just the guys.

However Joey and Jesse have other plans of the lady variety, but Danny digs in his heels and plays the guilt card of he's not ready to meet anyone new, so Joey and Jesse give in and they go down to the marina for what they think is a guys only night out, but boy are they surprised.

Jesse is reunited with an old flame, famous Rockstar Roxana who brings along her back up singers Yvonne and Vega, and we also have the Captain of the boat Neptune's Bride, none other than Captain Jack's granddaughter Caroline.

Danny's turns the co-ed boat trip into a sulk fest with his attitude while Jesse and Joey are over the moon with the female intrusion.

I enjoyed this episode, however Danny's stick in the mud attitude got on my nerves.

I mean you can do a boys night out anywhere anytime. I do agree that Caroline was coming on a little too strong to Danny with the constant hugging and touching his shoulder clearly making him uncomfortable, but she was a sweet lady once he told her they could be friends.

Jesse has to get this jealous chip off his shoulder, just because Roxanna found success outside of your band and you're still playing dive bars. Maybe try writing your own songs and not singing covers all the time. So you're 24 and haven't hit it big in the music industry there's still time to have a number 1 hit in Japan down the road.

Join me next week when we meet the next lady of Jesse's, Corrina Spicer in Full House S1E8: Jesse's Girl, which aired on November 6, 1987.

In this episode on a stormy night, the family is up telling a bedtime story about a girl that caught the eye of both Jesse and Joey. The girl was being tutored by Jesse, but fell hard for Joey.

Today, I conclude the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature for the month of December with Full House S6E18: Please Don't Touch The Dinosaur, which aired on February 23, 1993.

In this episode Jesse and Danny both get volunteered to take Michelle's class on a field trip to the museum. Jesse's rowdier bunch of kids cause trouble and end up destroying a dinosaur skeleton. Meanwhile, Stephanie and D.J. get into an argument over who owns a baseball card worth $2,000.

I enjoyed this episode. Michelle caught in the middle of having to choose between Danny's group and Jesse's group on a trip to the Museum.

Honestly, it's not a hard choice for her, she always chooses Jesse over Danny, and this time Danny takes it a little too personally and starts lashing out at Jesse's chaperon skills after his group of rowdy kids causes chaos of alarming proportions including destroying a million dollar dinosaur skeleton. In this episode Michelle actually accepts responsibly for knocking over the dinosaur after she and Denise are playing tag.

Aside from that fun time, DJ and Stephanie go head to head arguing over an old baseball card of Joey's that may or may not be worth ten thousand dollars (it's been in his car for years, I don't think it's worth one hundred dollars if Joey's car is kept anything like his bedroom closet). Stephanie found it while cleaning out his trunk to earn money for a new bike.

DJ's obsession with limo's is a bit much, but we all know she got to hang out in Tommy's Page's limo back in Season 5 when she took him on a tour of San Francisco in the episode Crushed.

I hope you all enjoy the podcast episode and join me in the new year 2023 for a new Jesse Series to kick off 2023.

In this episode Punky dates a rocker, upsetting Travis; Izzy loses her cap; Cherie has a yard sale for Fenster Hall.

I enjoyed certain parts of this episode Izzy losing her hat and the family helping her cope and Cherie having a yard sale with Fenster Hall.

Didn't care for the storyline with Punky dating a rocker.

Appreciated the similarities of storylines between Izzy and her hat and the connection with her Dad and Punky in Season 1 Punky Brewster (1984) losing her doll My, her last connection to her mother side from her dog Brandon.

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 Jesse & Michelle Double Feature which I chose for December, Full House S5E19: The Devil Made Me Do It, which aired on February 18, 1992.

In this episode the temptation to fiddle with Jesse's forbidden music equipment is too great for Michelle; but when Jesse lands her in hot water for it, the little devil in her wants to burn him. Elsewhere, Kimmy and Stephanie are at each other's throats, and it's up to D.J. to referee the proceedings.

I really liked this episode!

Jesse and Michelle's relationship is put to the test when Michelle plays with Jesse's music equipment in his studio after he recently forbade her from doing so.

She calls him "Uncle Tattletale" after Jesse explains to Danny what happened. Michelle of course is punished and she chooses to retaliate after being visited by her consciences in physical form, "Good Michelle" and "Bad Michelle".

It's a battle of wills as "Bad Michelle" encourages her to run away from home to teach "Uncle Tattletale" a lesson and "Good Michelle" tries to reign Michelle in and keep her from going over to the dark side.

Michelle winds up at Teddy's house where we meet his family including his sister (played by his real life older twin sisters Tia and Tamara Mowry) who would later star in their own TGIF ABC sitcom Sister, Sister.

I immediately recognized Teddy's dog Sparky from earlier in Season 4 and also the 1992 Movie Beethoven.

I also recognize the "Old Maid" Card game that Michelle and Teddy are playing because we had the same cards at my Grandparents house. The Old Maid card had a crease down the middle and we could always tell who had it whenever we played.

Jesse has a creative way to teach Michelle a lesson of her own to make her think twice about running away again and I for one think it was brilliant.

On the Plot B side, DJ is sick of her best friend Kimmy and her younger sister Stephanie arguing all the time, so she forces a sit down with them until they can agree.

It backfires in DJ's face, because the one thing that Kimmy and Steph agree on is how DJ's habits annoy them beyond belief to the point where DJ feels like the third wheel when Kimmy invites Steph out for some frozen yogurt.

Join me later this month when I cover the finale episode in the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature, Full House S6E18: Please, Don't Touch The Dinosaur, which aired on February 23, 1993.

In this episode Jesse and Danny both get volunteered to take Michelle's class on a field trip to the museum. Jesse's rowdier bunch of kids cause trouble and end up destroying a dinosaur skeleton. Meanwhile, Stephanie and D.J. get into an argument over who owns a baseball card worth $2,000.

Hey Full House Podcast Listeners,

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

Today, I covered Full House S5E24: Girls Will Be Boys, which aired on April 28, 1992.

In this episode When her best friend Teddy ignores her for being a girl, Michelle decides she wants to become a boy instead. Meanwhile, Jesse gets a part on Joey's TV show, and DJ catches Stephanie listening in on her phone call.

This was a good episode. I really liked it.

Michelle loses Teddy (temporarily) to Aaron (Mr. Bossypants) when Aaron starts hassling Teddy about playing/hanging out with girls which apparently at age 5 is something boys just aren't allowed to do (according to Aaron).

Teddy who will not stand up to Aaron follows his lead leaving Michelle to ponder, what do I do now, since I lost my best friend?

She takes it upon herself to start dressing like a boy since that's the only way to get Teddy to hang with her.

During a play session of playing guns (can't get more 90's then that, along with Michelle's idea of playing house)Teddy gets fake injured and Michelle morphs into rescue nurse mode.

Upon seeing this Aaron calls her out on not being a "real boy" since boys can't be nurses and he takes Teddy who looks at Michelle and says "Nice try Michelle", like she was attempting to fool him. She was desperate to hang out and changing her clothes and attitude was the only way Teddy would respond.

Danny explains that what's going on with Teddy is a stage or a phase and he'll grow out of it, so in the mean time she just has to ride this out.

Danny starts to tell Michelle that one day boys will want to hang out with her all the time and that's when Danny goes through his "keep away from my daughter stage".

This statement (which I get was played for laughs) just goes way over Michelle's head, she looks at Danny and tells him " I just want my best friend back".

Luckily for her, Teddy has finally tired of Aaron's bossiness but when he tried to be friends again Michelle has already tied herself to her new best friend Denise. Michelle explains to Teddy he is going through a stage and doesn't want to play with girls and that's why they can't hang out. Teddy begs Michelle to take him back and she relents happily cheering "Yay, the stage is over".

All the three kids ice out Aaron who is now friendless until they give in and tell him we're playing hide and seek and you're up first, so go hide and we'll find you.

Michelle whispers to Teddy "Maybe"

We can't forget DJ's payback on Stephanie for listening on her phone calls. She makes Steph so paranoid that DJ is out to get her that Stephanie jumps whenever DJ comes up behind her and freaks when she thinks DJ is going to feed her a poisonous brownie.

I have to hand it to DJ, this plan was brilliant!

Have a great week everyone!

I hope you enjoy this Podcast Episode!
