Full House: S8E18: We Got The Beat (Jesse and the Girls Series)

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 Jodie Sweetin's (Stephanie Tanner) Birthday, I decided to cover S7E14: Is It True About Stephanie?, which aired on January 4, 1994. In this episode after Stephanie makes a date with Gia's crush, Gia spreads a nasty rumor, prompting Stephanie to fight back with her own prank. Lovely , Danny's behavior after his breakup with Vicky makes the rest of the family wonder if he's mwah cracking up. I'll be honest and say I never really cared to much for Gia's character. Even after this episode where she and Steph became friends, just something about her rubbed me the wrong way. This was Mickey's final episode and the beginning of a friendship between Steph and Gia that we will see continue when Gia makes her return in season 8 episode 2 Breaking Away, where even Danny is surprised that she is even hanging out with Gia. I mean, if we look ahead to Fuller House, Gia really is the same old Gia and she has a daughter named Rocki that has a heart of gold. How Matt ended up with Gia is just baffling to me. Feel free to disagree, just my opinion. There is also the side plot of Danny dealing with breaking off his engagement with Vicki by changing every room in the house and making it worse off, and the family trying to be support and understanding while also adjusting to some wacky changes such as the organ in the middle of the living room, work boots(like construction work boots, who in that family is working construction?)in the kitchen cupboards above the counters as well as sports equipment, a basketball, tennis balls, golfballs, baseballs, wiffleballs etc. I mean I knew the Tanners liked sports on occasion but this is nuts and why would you put them in a cupboard where you know as soon as the door is opened they'll come tumbling out of it. Also a low rise table where the entire family is eating dinner sitting on pillows on the floor eating Japanese. sitting on the floor with my legs crossed would lead to major cramping after a while. Also Michelle was fine eating squid as long as no one told her what it was, as soon as Joey told her she was eating squid she immediately spit it out. If you were eating something new and were enjoying it without knowing what it was like the Tanners trying a new culture type of food. Would you want someone to tell you and if the name turned you off or sounded gross would you still keep eating it? Eating out of your comfort zone? Join me next week when I complete the Jesse and the Girls Series with Full House S8E18: We Got The Beat, which aired on February 21, 1995. in this episode Stephanie her friends and Kimmy form their own band, and allow Jesse to be their manager. Jesse proves too demanding and too critical, so they drop him and attempt to make it on their own. Have a great weekend and enjoy the episode! to EMAIL The Podcast Go To: [email protected]
