    Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S4E13: The Jailbirds, which aired on January 7, 1989. In this episode, Jamie and Vicki are arrested for spray-painting a wall--and its owner's $60 shirt. This was a fun episode. I love the lesson that Ted and Joan teach Jamie and Vicki also the female cop was played by Jo Marie Payton who later went on to play Harriet Winslow on Family Matters. S4E14: Rags to Riches, aired on January 14, 1989. In this episode Vicki and Jamie invent a cleaning solution. This episode is pretty much a Jamie get rich quick scheme that gets out of hand when he gets in over his head and it only gets worse when he Brandon and Harriet get involved. S4E15: Radio Days, which aired on January 21, 1989. In this episode Jamie produces a radio play about World War II. This was a creative episode, mostly the last 10 minutes was the best part. S4E16: Kid-O-Grams, which aired on January 28, 1989. In this episode Jamie starts up a singing-telegram business. This was a fun episode with the telegram business and the songs that were created were catchy. Vicki and Harriet's outfits at the end were cute.

    Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S4E9: My Favorite Martian, which aired on November 19, 1988. In this episode Brandon sees Vicki's hologram of an alien spaceship. Just Brandon being a massive dum dum per usual. The family decides to have fun with him by using Vicki to pretend she's an alien, after Brandon alerts (what I refer to thanks to the show ALF) as the ATF (Alien Task Force) to investigate this strange phenomenon. Vicki the alien tells Brandon that if he says he never saw any spaceship than her kind will make him King of their planet, he of course buys this charade and pretends he didn't see anything. Weird episode, but a bit better than the other 3. S4E10: Mommie Dearest, which aired on November 26,1988. In this episode, Joan's father comes for a visit, and Ida Mae decides he's going to be her next husband, since he's a doctor and she's a money hungry be-otch. I could not stand this episode or Ida Mae, this character does not need to exist on this show at ALL! S4E11: No Laughing Matter, which aired on December 4, 1988. In this episode Vicki leaks nitrous oxide ( we don't see this until the last 10 minutes of the episode, Jamie teaches for a week ( we don't get to see any of him teaching just the after effects of the kids failing the test (what a cop-out, I know we weren't going to get Cory/'Mr. Feeny level Teacher of the Week episode), but honestly it would have been nice to actually see him teach. S4E12: Tag, You're It, which aired on December 11, 1988. Ok, so this episode must have been filmed earlier because Jamie's already been in school for a while and now it's talking about the first day of 8th grade and also Harriet is now going to his school because she skipped a grade and is now in 6th grade (I call bullsh*t on this). Jamie's trying to get this valley girl speaking airhead of a girl to ask him to the dance ( I swear most of the girl's he's been into this season all have that (like whatever valley girl tone to their dialogue) it's grating on my nerves. It's basically a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls ask the boys or (according to Full House a Backwards Dance)> Harriet makes it her mission to get Jamie to take her she just has to tag him (you know, like the game). Vicki is made the Hall Monitor giving out demerits to the students thanks to the new Vice Principal played by Marcia Wallace known for her role of Ms. Krabappel on The Simpsons. As far as these episodes go, they were all that good, not too surprising, since it's the last Season of the show. Have a good April and I'll see you towards the end of the month for the next 4 episodes in Season 4.

    Hey Small Wonder Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered Season Episodes 5-8. S4E5: Come Fly With Me, which aired on October 22, 1988. In this episode the Lawson's accompany Brandon and Harriet on a flight to Florida (business reasons) when their flight is hijacked. Art Linkletter guest stars. I thought this episode was clever and humorous in some scenes. S4E6: Love At First Byte, which aired on October 29, 1988. In this episode Vicki falls for a computer program called L.E.S., that Ted installs in the family computer, unaware that L.E.S.'s growing attraction to Vicki takes a possessive and controlling turn, leading the family to take drastic measures to save Vicki. S4E7: The Sheik, which aired on November 5, 1988. In this episode, Ted and the family entertain a Sheik who intends to do business with the Robotics company that Ted works for, however when the Sheik sets his sights on marrying Vicki (to go along with his 4 other wives) this kid is 13 BTW, Ted has to decide if he can save Vicki from a lifetime of servitude (like she doesn't already have that with the Lawsons) marriage to a 13 year old boy or risk a business venture between his company and the Middle East. S4E8: Togetherness, which aired on November 12, 1988. In this episode the Brindles and the Lawsons compete on Beat Thy Neighbor, a gameshow. This was a fun episode. I hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll be back in late March with episodes S4E9-S4E12.

    Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. It's 2025 and I'm hitting the ground running with the first four episodes of Season 4. Today I covered S4E1: Divided We Stand, which aired on September 17, 1989. In this episode The men and women camp separately, who has the better survival odds? Listen to find out. Bland start to a new Season especially with it being the final Season of the show. The last two season openers gave us Season 2 Chewed Out and Season 3 Woodward and Bernstein, gave us don't miss this episode vibes, this one was major weak sauce, middle of the season filler episode. S4E2: Double Date, which aired on September 24, 1988. In this episode Jamie, Vicki and Harriet have double dates. Typical being into two places at once double date scenario. It was funny and more going on. S4E3: The Gang's All Here, which aired on October 1, 1988. In this episode, Jamie and Vicki join a gang. Speaking of the episode Chewed Out, we get Adam Rich (Eight Is Enough fame) playing a bully of the Screaming Skulls gang instead of Pete, the guy who introduces Jamie and Reggie to chewing tobacco two Seasons ago, the only different is Adam Rich's mullet has gotten longer and stringier. Gross! and the last episode S4E4: Rashomon, which aired on October 15, 1988. In this episode the Lawson's along with Brandon and Harriet are invented by the Robotics Company president to this health spa and the kids and Brandon encounter a bugler. Then we are treated to 3 different versions of what happened and then we see what really happened, thanks to Vicki. I hope you enjoy the four episodes and I'll be back in February with the next four. Have a great rest of January everyone!

    Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I the final two episodes of Season 3, S3E23 Safety First, which aired on May 14, 1988. In this episode Brandon claims injury from Vicki's Heimlich maneuver. I had high hopes for this episode especially when Joan told the class they would learn the techniques of performing life saving procedures in class like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. We didn't see any of these demonstrated by the students instead we get a lame play about accidents in the home acted out by Reggie, Vicki and Harriet even though she doesn't go to their school but got special permission from her school to participate in the play. and S3E24: When You Hear The Beep, which aired on May 21, 1988. In this episode Jamie starts an answering service for his friends. After most of Jamie's classmates gets grounded from using the phone he decides to charge the kids for an answering service that he and Vicki create. I hope you enjoy these two episodes and I'll be diving into Season 4 in January 2025.

    Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Well Full House and Fuller House Fans, we've made it to the end of Fuller House and that means the end of a 5 year journey of covering both shows, Full House and it's continuation show Fuller House. I've had a fun time going down memory lane with this show and revisiting Fuller House. I hope you all enjoyed listening to the podcast and go back and revisit the episodes in the future. Today, I covered S5E17: Something Borrowed, which aired on June 2, 2020. In this episode It's the week before the wedding. The guys go out for their stag party while Kimmy, DJ and Stephanie look for something old and something borrowed for their wedding. This was such a sweet and heartwarming episode with a lot of callbacks to the OG show Full House. Thank you all for listening! Stay tuned for a different form of Full House Podcast content coming sometime in 2025.

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

Steph feels guilty when she realizes Jimmy has been more considerate than she has lately. Jesse is on a mission to find out who bit his daughter, Pamela, at school. I thought this episode was kind of weaksauce. It was kinda just ok for me. and I also covered S5E16: The Nearlywed Game, in this episode The kids get together to host a game show, The Nearlywed Game, that they live stream. It tests how well the couples know each other - and what they really love about each other. I'd have to say this episode is a Season 5 favorite for me and aside from the holiday episodes that I re-watch yearly this one is also on occasion in rotation from time to time, because it's so fun and enjoyable to watch. Both episodes were adorable and sweet. I hope you enjoy them and have a great holiday!

In this episode Ramona introduces Rocki to Ethan and she suspects that they already know each other, Lisa Loeb turns up in DJ and Matt's veterinary clinic which draws Steph to get Lisa to listen to a song she wrote. This was a funny and cute episode. Love Steph's song and also Ethan and Rocki pretending that they don't know each other and they used to hang out. I also covered S5E11: Three Weddings and a Musical, which aired on June 2, 2020. In this episode while Steve babysits, DJ, Steph and Kimmy head to a wedding expo and wind up walking the runway. Jackson and Ramona audition for the school play. The wedding dresses were horrible looking (IMO), triple weddings/triple the drama, but I loved the plot with Jackson and Ramona and the musical, Jackson sounding like Josh Groban. Both episodes were adorable and sweet. I hope you enjoy them and have a great holiday!

In this episode Matt and Gia need DJ to notarize their marriage license even though Rocki objects, Gia gets invited to have a Mom's Night Out with Steph, DJ and Kimmy, the guys have a Dudes Night In, while the girls are out. I enjoyed the guys night in, more than the girls night out, I'm not into dance offs and or dancing with the stars. Steve, Matt and Fernando and Jimmy hanging out was so fun. and I also covered S5E5: Ready Player Fuller. In this episode, DJ and Jackson bond through a video game which was DJ's secret until a face to face playoff and the grand reopening of Uncle Monty's runs into a bunch of snags. I really enjoyed both these episodes, the family coming together to help have a good grand re-opening for Uncle Monty's and DJ and Jackson spending time together, even if she's pretending to be another gamer to get closer and bond with her son. So sweet. I hope you enjoy the podcast episodes and have a great week!

    Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S5E2: Hale's Kitchen, which aired on December 6, 2019. In this episode DJ and Steve take a cooking class. Meanwhile, Stephanie has a hard time keeping a promise to Max. Ramona falls for the cute food delivery guy. I thought this was such a fun episode, we get to meet Ethan, such a sweetie who falls for Ramona, and Stephanie and Max bonding time when she brings the Renaissance fair to Max when she can't take him to the actual one, due to her taking care of baby Danielle. DJ super got on my nerves and annoyed me this episode, her competitiveness was next level to the point where I think even Steve had had enough of her. and also I covered S5E3: Family Business, in this episode, Jackson accidentally sends a bad post to Ramona's new boyfriend from her phone, Fernando has a crisis at the start of the Formula One Season after his retirement, Max is trying to do his first high dive. Let me correct this Jackson/Ethan/Ramona plot. Ramona accidently likes one of Ethan's old Instagram pics on her phone and now she thinks Ethan is going to find her a bit on the stalkerish side for scrolling through and liking his old IG posts. Jackson makes matters worse by commenting on it. Honestly Ethan is just confused that she liked one of his childhood photos and then unliked it, which sent him a notification. He's a totally super chill dude. The start of the family buying Uncle Monty's Sub Sandwich Imporium. Season 5 has honestly gotta be one of my favorite Seasons of the show. It's so fun to see how everyone has evolved since Season 1. So much has happened in that time. I hope you all enjoy the podcast episodes and have a great weekend!

In this episode Jamie forms a rock band; Ida Mae has amnesia. The Rock Band part of the episode was good, Ida Mae and her quick and over in less than 5 minute amnesia spell was crap. I don't hate Ida Mae on a Bonnie Brindle level yet, but we'll see come Season 4, she already getting to Brandon Brindle level of annoyance and we just met her in the last episode. and S3E22: Book-It, which aired on May 7, 1988. In this episode Jamie avoids reading a book for a school assignment. I really enjoyed this episode, mainly because I'm such a bookworm and I never got to do the Book-It Program in school.

I really enjoy DJ/Steve 2.0 and Jackson and Rocki are so adorable together. I love how she makes him work for their relationship. She's not about labels and he's all about define the relationship.

In this episode, due to Vicki's mishandling of terms, Child Services Officer Mrs. Fernwald thinks Ted is an alcoholic and threatens to take Vicki away unless he joins AA. I thought this episode was just ok, I wish it had more meat to the episode like an after school special type simular to what we got in Season 2's Chewed Out episode. I just feel so much more could have been done to make this a better episode, raise the stakes a little bit. Mrs. Fernwald, the woman who is too obsessed with this family, she's practically a stalker, going so far to barge into their home on an unannounced visit because she happened to just be in the neighborhood and pawing through the Lawson's trash looking for evidence to comdemn the Lawson's as unfit parents. Is she like this with every family who's case she's assigned? If I were them I'd have the DCFS do an investigation on her, if she even works there. Who really knows? and I also covered S3E20: Big J, the D.J., which aired on February 27, 1988. In this episode Vicki imitates Lyle Alzado to help auditioning Jamie. This was a kinda fun episode, granted we are introduced to a new character Ida Mae, Brandon's sister. She's just annoying, not Brindle level, but I guess they needed someone to replace Bonnie who is apparently away taking care of her mother for a week. Is this how they write her out of the show, and then they just extend her stay away indefinitely? I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episodes and I'll be back with two more soon. Have a great weekend!

In this episode Jamie stages a play to help a boy cope with leukemia. I remember when I finished Season 2 and I was so excited for this episode, now that I've seen it, I can say I was a little let down. I guess I was hoping for a little more after school special feel with a splash of emotion like the Season 2 Premiere episode Chewed Out. I guess I wanted more from this episode and it kind of went cornball-ish towards the end. The second episode I covered S3E18: The Russians Are Coming, which aired on February 13, 1988. In this episode Vicki competes with a Soviet robot. I gotta say this was fun and entertaining episode. It really helped pick my spirits up from the last episode. I guess Ted's not the only one who can build a child robot. I was floored when I discovered the reveal, I was expecting Season 1 Harriet's robot, more plastic less flesh like material. I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode and I'll see you in September with the next two as we make our way to the end of Season 3.

    Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S2E8: A Tangled Web, which aired on December 9, 2016. In this episode Jackson pet-sits Lola's tarantula, Dj works over time to help Max on a school project, and Jimmy makes a music video for Stephanie's latest hit. and S2E9: Glazed and Confused, which aired on December 9, 2016. In this episode with out-of-town trips planned for the adults, Uncle Joey delivers doughnuts -- and unexpected drama. Stephanie's nervous about singing on television. I thought these episodes where good not great, DJ in the first episode was just way over the top with Max's school project and I get it, that's who DJ is now, she's so far removed from the DJ we all grew up with to the point where she doesn't even feel like the same character anymore. In Glazed and Confused Joey was the worst what he put them all though with those day old gas station donuts. Shame on him! Matt came to the rescue and it was so sweet how he took care of the boys and DJ and Ramona. Show's much he cares for her and her family. I hope you enjoy the podcast episode and have a good weekend!

    Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered not one, but two episodes to catch up for missing March's episode. S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles. which aired on January 23, 1988. In this episode the Lawsons plot to convince the Brindles to move. Brandon was such a dumb dumb in this episode. GAH! Not surprising, Bonnie is mentioned but not seen since the actress moved on to star in the show Valerie or Hogan Family or whatever they were calling that show at the time. This episode was kinda meh. and also I covered S3E16: For Sale By Robot, which aired on January 30, 1988. In this episode Vicki accidentally sells the Lawson's house. This was a bonkers crazy and hugely unrealistic episode (aren't they all) when it comes to selling a home, as well as the couple being what TV perceive as stereo typical Texans to be like. I was embarrassed and I'm not originally from Texas, I've only been here 3 years. Overall, I liked this episode more than the first. Hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll be back in June with two more. Have a great rest of April!

In this episode Vicki gives a bank computer data that Ted is dead. This creates issues for him and Joan because they can't use their credit cards to buy groceries, since Ted had been doing what we in today's world refer to online banking to pay our bills. He was 30 years ahead of his time here, however Vicki mishears Ted mention something about him being dead and Vicki inputs that data into the computer to cut off his credit because he's dead. He has to go to the bank to prove he's alive, which doesn't do anything, he doesn't show his ID, the the bank manager has no idea if he is who he says he is. Joan and Ted have a fake funeral to prove to the bank creator and other random people including Brandon and Bonnie (Edie McClurg's final episode) that he is very much alive. Jamie and Vicki have a small side plot where he's selling packets of Christmas Tree Seeds in January for $3.95. No one's buying that crap because no ones thinking of Christmas in January. Joan gets a Life Insurance check for $100,000, that of course they have to give back. Join me later this month when I cover S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles, which aired on January 23, 1988.

In this episode The Lawsons perform at a lodge fund-raiser. This was the last episode of 1987. What a way to kick off 2024 with a shit-tastic episode, was I right , or was I right? It really sucked soo bad and Brandon Brindle's dumb a$$ self has the most to do with it. Add in that creepy 6 foot tall doll, then Joan and Vicki dressing up as said doll to recreate an act at the lodge fundraiser talent show. Ted and Brandon's boss is dumber than a box of rocks if he mistook Ted for Brandon. I knew Ted was originally meant for that position. Jamie's magic tricks were horrible, time for a new hobby Jamie or a get rich quick scheme, plus I thought Jamie seemed a little too old to do doing magic tricks, not that there's an age requirement on playing magic tricks, just seems kinda beneath him, ya know, it's Jamie. Unless he's charging people to watch him perform said magic tricks. I mean it did cost Brandon $10. Luckily the episode for February looks a lot more funner and enjoyable.

In this episode, Harriet, Jamie and Vicki foil a bank robber. As far as episodes go, this one was kinda weak sauce. Diff'rent Strokes did a much better episode on a bank robbery back in the early 80's. Aside from the bank robbery, which btw's took place when there was less than 10 minutes left in the episode, so ya know, no real high stakes. Just a man dressed as a woman, who looks like he's never held a gun before, which wasn't surprising considering he told the bank teller, he was new at the whole stick up situation. Aside from that, the side plot of Ted and Brandon getting measles was total BS, the writers should have just led with the chicken pox like on Full House Season 1. At least we learn that Jamie had his MMR Vac. Join me in January when I cover what I feel will be a crap episode S3E13: Ooga Mooga, which aired on December 5, 1987.

    Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Well, the time has come, we've reached the end of the Full House portion of this podcast as I covered the Series Finale, Full House S8E23 &S8E24: Michelle Rides Again Parts 1 & 2. Both episodes aired in a special 1 Hour Series Finale on May 23, 1995. I remember being so excited and yet so sad that the show I grew up watching as a child was coming to an end. I grew up with The Tanner family as I'm sure a lot of you listeners also did as well. Shared in the laughter, tears and the big moments, Jesse and Becky's wedding in Season 4 and the arrival of Nicky and Alex in Season 5. Here's the synopsis for Full House S8E23: Michelle Rides Again: PART 1: In this episode while out horseback riding, Michelle's horse runs into a tree, throwing her and causing her to hit her head. In PART 2: In this episode the Tanner family helps Michelle try to regain her memory. I think for a Series Finale of a long running show, the Finale holds up, sure Jesse and Joey's wrestling gig was a bit goofy, but we needed it to balance out the heavy stuff with Michelle's accident. The surprise reveal of Steve at the end was the Marshmallow (I hate cherries) on the Sundae for me. And of course I got choked up when Michelle asked about her Mom, those violins do me in every time. Lastly I want to thank you all for listening to this podcast for the last four and a half years as I went on this journey. The reviews and ratings on Itunes, along the way as well as being a part of the Facebook Page and sending emails too. That being said I will be back to continue my coverage of Fuller House in January 2024. Have a great rest of 2023 and I'll be back soon.

In this episode D.J., wanting to do an elaborate senior prank, lifts her principal's car onto the roof of the school using a crane; Becky offers to teach Michelle to cook. This episode was a step up from DJ's Choice, I'd even go so far to say I liked it a little more than Air Jesse, thanks to Joey's invention of Silly Doh, combining Silly Putty and Play Doh together for the boys to play with and Comet ends up eating some, but it's non toxic, so it's fine. Becky's "Comet's been out chasing Smurfs", joke absolutely slayed me. DJ's principal who was also Jesse's principal (wouldn't he also be Danny and Joey's as well) looks not much older than Jesse, how is that possible? The car on the roof prank was genius, but DJ's goody two shoes reason for doing it is kinda lame. She wants to leave behind a legacy or at least be remembered by her fellow classmates. Deej, you were the organizer of every school function between junior high and high school, I'm sure you will not be forgotten anytime soon. Becky and Michelle's meat loaf looks more like a meat mountain when Becky pulls it out of the oven, Becky forgot that the recipe was meant to feed her Grandma's whole trailer park.

In this episode Vicki literally balloons after Ted unwittingly upgrades her energy-supplementing polynucleotide processor with an appetite, which creates excess digestive gases and causes her a date issue for the school dance. We see the return of Jessica again, as well as a boy who is basically her male equivalent, self absorbed and he's set his sights on Vicki as his date to what they're calling the "prom" (really, they're in junior high), but drops her as soon he sees she has ballooned up due to a malfunction, Warren still as ever smitten with Vicki feels he's found an equal when he sees she's expanded outward, but he feels slighted after Ted fixes Vicki and she returns to normal size. Of course Harriet tries to interject herself in Jamie's life by trying to get him to take her to the dance ( even though they don't go to the same school) We also met Wanda, Warren's sister who is basically forgettable, she has no lines. She's so shy, the teachers forget she exists in their class. Overall, an ok episode. Join me later this month for S3E12: The Bank Job, which aired on November 28, 1987.

In this episode, after being recruited by D.J. to play in a charity basketball game, Jesse gets tips from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jesse CANNOT make a basket and knows nothing about basketball. What the heck! He played 2 on 2 with Danny, Joey, and Cousin Steve in Season 1. Did 7 years of knowing how to play just disappear? Kareem takes pity on Jesse, because apparently if you're a grown man you should automatically know how to play basketball. No way Nick Katsopolis wouldn't have taught his son how to play, he knows about baseball. He would know about this sport too. Jesse finds his magic sweet spot on the court that guarantees a basket every time the ball comes near it. He just wants his son's to be proud of him. Newsflash they already are, because you're their dad. Also in this episode as a side plot Stephanie makes a horrendous looking blouse in Home Ec and gives it to Becky after she assumes Becky loves it. This blouse is a hodge podge nightmare come to life, multiple buttons of various sizes here, there and everywhere. No article of clothing needs that many buttons. EVER! Becky trying to spare Steph's feelings with her honest opinion wears the blouse out of guilt to a charity basketball game (which Jesse and the boys are playing in) when a reporter/fan/stalker of Becky shows up to snap a photo for her scrap book or which ever paper she claims to work for, Becky's true feelings about the blouse come out when Becky realizes her picture wearing the blouse with be on every door step in San Francisco, I mean she's a co host of Wake Up San Francisco, she has an image to project and protect, viewers only see her in blazers and matching slacks or dresses, top of the line WUS approved apparel, heaven forbid she wear something that screams fashion police nightmare outside of work. Kimmy still 7 years later (See Season 1 Just One of The Guys Season 1 for example) cannot keep her hands off the players butts (she's their coach) apparently both DJ and Kimmy are hosting this basketball charity event to raise money for a cause of some kind.

Nelson is bland and basic, a Richie Rich type with a mullet and Viper is a dumpster fire of a human being. I mean he breaks up with DJ because in his mind they're moving too fast for him and then he expects her to just take him back because he sang her a song about how much he misses and her made a mistake. Goodbye, Viper! And the rest of the Season is Viper-less. Thank goodness!

One by one the dominos fall, newspaper strike over, concert tickets are a no go because he has a distant relative that works for the station that ultimately disqualifies him from being able to accept the tickets which leads him to lose the date with the cable lady. And in finding out he got the position as the new host of the kid's show he grabs Ranger Roy (who has a no human contact phobia) in a big bear hug, leaves quickly to tell his agent and Danny is the one to break the news to him, he was fired.

Today, I'm kicking off a new Series, Joey's Comedy Career Journey Series, with Full House S1E16: But Seriously Folks, which aired on February 5, 1988. In this episode Joey's convinced that his comic debut in front of a talent scout is jinxed. I liked this episode, as it had a valuable lesson for both Joey and DJ. Joey's ready for his big night at the comedy club, with the possibility of being discovered by a talent scout from HBO looking for the next up and coming comic to give them their big break, an HBO Comedy Special. Sadly Phyllis Diller happens to be in the audience right as Joey's ready to take the stage, and boy is he upstaged since he never makes it up there and of course the audience is all laughed out once she leaves, also leaving is the HBO Talent Scout. Joey's is begging people to stay and listen to his act. It's late, they all have to get home. Joey takes this lack of an opportunity to make people laugh and maybe be discovered, hard. He quits comedy and loses the mullet which he mousses down and dons a suit to go on interviews and accepts none of the job offers. He's not the only one quitting and giving up, DJ started the band The Bracelets with Kimmy who's on keyboard (they really stick with Kimmy and the keyboard thing as the show goes on, even in Fuller House). DJ getting guitar lessons from Jesse and she gives up because she's not good at it at first, we really never come back to this because she eventually moves on to the drums in Season 2. Danny and Jesse realize that Joey needs comedy in his life and the family need Joey in theirs (the old Joey) not this "Joe" guy he keeps referring to himself as. Danny and Jesse devise a plan to take Joey down to the club and Jesse tries out Joey's act messing up Joey's jokes on purpose causing Joey to jump up on stage and take over. The HBO guy rep didn't show, but it ends up being his night because people are laughing and being entertained by his jokes. Old Joey is BACK! Joey tells DJ, don't give up on something if it doesn't come natural to you right away, keep plugging away at it until you succeed. If it's not your thing that's ok too, but at least give it some effort before moving on to something else.

Vicki again wearing this Marilyn Monroe wig and outfit. This is gross, someone on the writing staff has an unhealthy fetish. Making a child dress like a grown ass woman. Join me next month for S3E11: The Fats of Life, which aired on November 21, 1987. In this episode Vicki literally balloons after Ted unwittingly upgrades her energy-supplementing polynucleotide processor with an appetite, which creates excess digestive gases and causes her a date issue for the school dance.

    Hey Full House Fans, 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 Jesse and Joey's Career Duo Journey Series, Full House S6E4: Radio Days, which aired on October 13, 1992. In this episode Jesse and Joey are offered a job as Radio DJs. Jesse and Joey partnered in advertising back in Season 2 through 4, then for Season 5 they decided to each focus on their own careers, Jesse and his music and Joey with his comedy. Now in Season 6 and through out the rest of the shows run they are DJ Hosts better known as the Rush Hour Renegades. I thought this was a fun episode, a step up for Jesse and Joey getting themselves out there and heard all over San Francisco. We also see the last of Joey and The Ranger Joe Show as he can't stand his new co-host Jungle Jenny who also happens to be his boss's wife, she humiliates him in front of the kids and he ends up giving his boss an ultimatum, either she goes or I go and of course he picks his wife. Stephanie, trying to come up with a topic for her creative writing assignment, wreaks havoc on DJ and Steve's relationship with she creates a fake love letter to DJ from Henry her Macaroni Man. Luckily for them Danny looks over Steph's paper and discovers similarities between her characters and the topic of DJ and Steve's fight. They turn the tables on Stephanie by having DJ and Steve pretending to want to get married and Danny being cool with it, to Steph's horror and then Danny tells her it's not right to mess up people's relationships because she can't come up with something to write about.

    Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I continue my coverage of the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Journey Series, Full House S4E3: The I.Q. Man, which aired on October 5, 1990. In this episode Jesse and Joey's latest client asks them to compromise their morals while shooting a commercial. I thought this was a good episode, we see the last of Mr. Malatesta (Jesse & Joey's Boss), who thinks it's fine that the woman in charge of the company they're shooting a commercial for is basically sexually harassing Jesse. He pretty much tells Jesse do it or you're fired. Jesse is beyond uncomfortable with this woman and decides he can't do the commercial for IQ a men's cologne. Changes up their commercial set from a library with him wearing a smoking jacket and to a shower set with him wearing only a towel. You're selling cologne! Apparently it also comes in the form of roll-on deodorant. This episode is the birth of J & J Creative Services (a production company) which Jesse and Joey start with the help of Danny's financial backing. D.J. and Kimmy (mostly D.J.) host their school's Career Day with Becky and Danny jumping in last minute. Unfortunately everyone there has Connie Chung Mania from a rumor saying she was going to be there for her nephew Jimmy Chung (not his last name) we later find out. Steph's got a sinus cold and ends up making Michelle who was taking care of her sick in the end. Join me3 next week for the last episode in the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Series Full House S6E4: Radio Days, which aired on October 13, 1992.

    Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen, here the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Series), Full House S2E13: Working Mothers, which aired on February 3, 1989. In this episode after Jesse and Joey are offered full time jobs at an ad agency, they struggle to decide if they can do the job and still be moms to the girls. I thought this was a good episode, Jesse and Joey win over a big client for their boss with an amazing advertising pitch complete with Joey wearing many hats and playing different characters with a jingle for Hurry Mart, so catchy. On the spot their boss gives them full time positions, it's all great until DJ and Stephanie wonder who will take care of them if all three of the guys are working. News Flash, they're working while you're in school, you'll see them in the evening. Good grief. The girls (DJ and Steph) act like they're becoming latchkey kids (which for some reason was the worst thing to be in the 80's and 90's by their attitude), I was a 90's latchkey kid from age 11 onward, it wasn't a big deal. The show Small Wonder did an episode about it. In the end the girls make the guys feel so guilty, they ask their boss if they can just work from home. He's cool with it. Michelle has developed a habit of locking people out of the house and a balcony in this episode. Self locking doors not a good thing.

Today, I'm kicking off the new Series, Jesse and Joey Career Duo Journey with Full House S2E5: Jingle Hell, which aired on November 11, 1988. In this episode Jesse and Joey start working together, while D.J. and Stephanie fight because Stephanie breaks some of D.J.'s stuff. I really enjoyed this episode, seeing the beginning Jesse and Joey's work partnership which would eventually lead them to venturing out on their own as independent advertisers and the birth of their company J&J Creative Services. Stephanie has been getting in DJ's craw as of late and she's had enough. She vows to get her back and does so rather creatively by tying Stephanie entire shoe collection together so it's like a train of shoes. Jesse and Joey learn that in order to be successful as partners they have to work together and listen to one other. A partnership can't work if one person is calling the shots and the other is simply a follower and allowed no creative input. And finally the family can say goodbye to changing diapers because Michelle is potty-trained, well goodbye at least until the twins arrive in 3 years.

In this episode, Ted builds a more advanced robot, but his plans to scrap Vicki are halted when the new model refuses to obey orders. I have been lookin forward to this episode for a while, every since I started Season 3 this year. This episode did not disappoint. I gotta give a hand to Tiffany Brisette, she did an amazing job playing Vanessa. She must have been happy not to have to use the robot voice for at least an episode. The scene were Vanessa she rips Joan's dress off of her, I wasn't ready for that. WOW! Never give a robot free will, it will take that power to the extreme and take over the family much like Vanessa did in this episode.

In this episode DJ becomes editor of the school newspaper and faces backlash when she appoints Kimmy to a position for which she is unqualified. This was a fun and cute episode. DJ having been made the editor of the school paper, Kimmy jumps at the opportunity to work along side her best friend, however the only (I find this so hard to believe)position left on the paper was Sports Editor. There were a few boys there including Jake Bitterman (this is his last appearance on the show), we know that Jake wanted that position instead he got, copying the lunch menu. Whoopee! (NOT). After Kimmy's failed attempt at covering the school basketball team game (all she writes about is Robby Hudson the equipment manager, she doesn't even mention who won the game). DJ demands she write it again, Kimmy reuses and they fight, ending their friendship. They aren't the only ones fighting, Becky and Danny can barely get through the taping of their commercial for the show (that Jesse and Joey are shooting and directing) without snipping and glaring at each other. Pointing out the other's faults. Michelle annoys Stephanie to no end with the Shadow Game, which basically consists of repeating anything the other person says until they scream and runaway. Luckily for the girls along with Danny and Becky they are able to see past their squabbling and realize how immature they're being and make up with each other. Have a great month and I'll see you in October with a new Series of episodes,

In this episode Comet, the family's new dog gets his name as well as eats Michelle's ice cream. Michelle can't get over this, she'll tell it to anyone who will listen including Jesse's old school friend Pete. He and Jesse had a band back in high school "Feedback" and have a house party band reunion while Danny and Becky are in L.A. How many bands did Jesse have in high school, because in Season 4, he was also part of the band Discipline Problem. Also Danny and Becky are away on a talk show styling trip Fashion Expo '90 where they both get make overs. . Pete's carefree ways and single lifestyle start to rouse in Jesse how his life used to be before moving into the house and also before Becky. Little does Jesse know that Pete is a little envious of what Jesse has. A family and a stable relationship, a place to call home. All of Pete's ribbing gets to Jesse who tries to keep up with Pete's wild lifestyle which eventually lands Jesse on the edge of a building trying to recreate a stunt with his motorcycle he preformed years ago. When Pete realizes Jesse does not plan to back down from this dare, he realizes he pushed Jesse too far. Pete and the family help Jesse to realize the risk he's taking, before it's too late. I hope for Pete maybe he will find someone to settle down with, because I think he secretly wants that for himself. What worked in your 20's won't necessarily work in your 40's.

    Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the Best Friends Series with Full House S2E15: Pal Joey, which aired on February 17,1989. In this episode Joey and Danny recall the day they first met. I loved this episode, it was so cute. Especially seeing how Danny and Joey met, the kids they got to play them are absolutely adorable. The young man who played Danny, Phillip Glasser, I got the chance to meet him last Summer. He was so cool. He also voiced Fievel from An American Tail as well as the sequel and the short lived television series in the early 90's. Danny gets jealous of all the time that Joey and Jesse are spending together since they've become partners in advertising and Danny feels he's being edged out of Joey's life as his best friend. Danny was being so immature and Joey calls him on it and Danny decides since Joey can't read his mind and understand the reason he's upset than Joey and he never should have been friends to begin with. Good grief, Danny! Total Throwback Episode! So much unnecessary drama! Speaking of unnecessary drama, the side plot with Stephanie, Harry and DJ. Weird Love Triangle (at least from Steph's POV). DJ teaches Harry how to subtract and all of a sudden he's in love with her. Poor Steph is heartbroken. It's another switching rooms for an episode scenario. How it goes unnoticed with three adults in the house, only the writers can answer that question. It's up to Jesse and DJ to bring Steph and Harry back together. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the series, Full House S3E9: Dr. Dare Rides Again, which aired on November 24, 1989. In this episode Comet, the family's new dog, eats Michelle's ice cream. Pete is an old pal that Jesse once knew. He visits the family when Danny and Becky are away on a talk show styling trip. 'Feedback' and some of Jesse's old ways pop up. Have a great week everyone!

In this episode Danny asks the mother of Stephanie's friend Gia out on a date--causing Michelle to rebel. Joey is surprised when the French woman he asked out on a date arrives with her husband. Jesse is nervous about his first appearance with his new band. I thought this was an ok episode, not once I watch on repeat. Jesse's band outfit for his performance, yuck! He's trying to make a comeback with his new band, Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. DJ and Viper, I will never support them as a couple. He's too old for her and doesn't treat her right (spoiler alert: he breaks up with her in DJ's Choice because their relationship is moving too fast for him and then attempts to win her back through song. Michelle could have just told Stephanie what she was feeling about being left out when Steph and Gia were actually all excited at the thought of being sisters if Danny and Claire got married. Instead she dresses like a biker girl and insults Claire. She ends up looking and acting like a brat. Joey's being a doofus, when he meets a beautiful French woman who happens to be married, but since Joey doesn't know a word of French, he assumes Marie is another woman and he's going on a triple date.
