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.
The premise of the show, as established in the first episode, titled "Our Very First Show", was that recently widowed San Francisco sportscaster (and later television host) Danny Tanner has to take care of his three daughters following the death of his wife (Pamela), with the help of his best friend (and college room-mate) Joey and his wife's brother Jesse. All the characters are strongly stereotyped - Danny, the 'neat-freak', Joey, the local comedian (literally - he is a professional stand up comedian and an expert at voices), and Jesse, the womaniser and Elvis-worshipper with his trademark, "Have mercy." In later seasons, Jesse mellows down and marries Rebecca Donaldson (Danny's peppy co-host on his morning talk show, Wake Up San Francisco). They eventually have a pair of twins, Nicholas (Nicky) and Alexander (Alex).
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.
Theme Song
Whatever happened to the predictibility?
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV
How did I get to living here
Somebody tells me 'Please!!!'
This ol' world's confusing me
With clouds as mean as you've ever seen
and a world that knows your tunes
Then a little voice inside you whispers:
'Please, don't sell your dreams so soon
Everywhere you look, (everywhere you go)
There's a heart, (There's a heart)
A hand to hold on to.
Everywhere you look, (everywhere you go)
There's a face, of somebody who needs you
When you're lost out there and you're all alone
A knight is waiting, to carry you home...
Everywhere you look
