In the conclusion of Full House's two-part series finale, Michelle (the Olsen twins) has lost her memory as the result of a horseback riding accident, whereupon everyone in the Tanner household joins forces to help her remember. Elsewhere, Joey (David Coulier) and Jesse (John Stamos) make a professional move that will profoundly alter their future; Steph (Jodie Sweetin) learns a secret about her "Romeo and Juliet" leading man; and just wait until you see who ends up escorting DJ (Candace Cameron) to the prom. Unfortunately, the original ending of this episode, in which each and every person who appeared on Full House during its eight seasons on the air shows up for a mass curtain call, has been removed from the DVD version. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When Steph (Jodise Sweetin) is stood up by a guy named Ryan (Andrew Keegan) just before a big dance, Danny (Bob Saget) decides to take a hand in matters. After Danny gives Ryan a severe tongue-lashing, the kid makes good on his promise to escort Steph to the dance--but will she be grateful, or will she resent her dad's interference? Elsewhere, Michelle (the Olsen twins) is willing to play dirty to beat DJ (Candace Cameron) in a competition; and Kimmy (Andrea Barber) proves to be the cause of Jesse's (John Stamos) high blood pressure. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

There's more trouble than usual for the Tanner household as Full House begins its eighth and final season. For starters, Jesse (John Stamos) is thrown out of his own rock band because he spends more time with family responsibilities than with professional duties. Also, Danny (Bob Saget) and Becky (Lisa Loughlin) encounter "circumstances beyond our control" during a remote TV broadcast; DJ (Candace Cameron) can't bring herself to break off her romance with her wealthy new boyfriend Nelson (Jason Marsden); and while walking the family dog Comet, Michelle (the Olsen twins) lets the pooch run off in pursuit of a huge frankfurter (you read that right). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Having both broken up with their respective sweethearts, Danny (Bob Saget) and DJ (Candace Cameron) allow their friends to arrange a pair of blind dates. This leads to a very awkward situation--not to mention some surprising couplings--when Danny, DJ and their dates all show up at the same restaurant. Elsewhere, Mother's Day causes unexpected friction between Jesse (John Stamos) and his sons. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Multimillionaire Lou Bond (Keene Curtis) offers to purchase the Tanner house, in which he lived as a youth, for an astronomical price. Everyone in the household looks forward to this huge cash windfall, and to moving into brand-new homes. Only Michelle (theOlsen twins) balks at the notion of leaving San Francisco--and she's willing to go to extreme and devious lengths to keep the family together under one roof. This is the final episode of Full House's seventh season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jesse (John Stamos) has finally completed all requirements for his high school diploma, and he and the family are eagerly looking forward to his long-overdue graduation, where he is to deliver the keynote speech. Alas, Jesse and the gang end up trapped in the San Francisco subway system and miss the ceremony altogether. Though sorely disappointed by this turn of events, Jesse nonetheless works up enough self-esteem to not only go on with his life, but to help a young stranger who is on the verge of dropping out of school. This is the only Full House episode in which Candace Cameron (DJ Tanner) does not appear. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story, the family's excursion to Disney World takes an unexpected turn when Michelle (the Olsen twins) manages to get herself lost (as good an excuse as any to show off the park's multitude of rides and other attractions). Meanwhile, Becky (Lori Loughlin) is upset over the fact that Jesse (John Stamos), hired to perform at the Happiest Place on Earth, seems more preoccupied with business than pleasure. And elsewhere, Danny (Bob Saget) tries to work up the nerve to propose to Vicky (Gail Edwards). Several actual Disney World employees appear as themselves in this, the final episode of Full House's sixth season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

To prove a point to Becky (Lisa Loughlin) , Jesse (John Stamos) is determined to perform two difficult tasks at once: Thus, he broadcasts his daily radio show from home while simultaneously babysitting the twins. Meanwhile, Steph (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (the Olsen twins) have agreed to look after their neighbor's "baby", namely a pot-bellied pig named Scruffey. Inevitably and chaotically, these two separate plot strands become entangled. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In urgent need of cash to support his family, Jesse (John Stamos) moonlights as a pianist at an airport cocktail lounge--only to find that he's not alone in this pursuit. Elsewhere, the consequences are severe when Steph (Jodie Sweetin)"borrows" a sweater belonging to DJ (Candace Cameron). And as Becky (Lisa Loughlin) prepares to return to "Wake Up San Francisco", Danny (Bob Saget) worries that he will never see his temporary cohost Vicky (Gail Edwards) again. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season six of Full House is jam-packed with incident for the Tanner household: widowed San Francisco TV host Danny Tanner (Bob Saget); his three daughters Stephanie (Candace Cameron), D.J. (Lori Loughlin), and Michelle (played by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen); his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), Jesse's wife, Becky (Lori Loughlin) and their twin babies, Alex and Nicky (now played by real-life twins Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit); and Danny's comedian pal Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier). The season opens as D.J. returns from a summer study program in Barcelona -- with a new boyfriend, the slightly older Steve Hale (Scott Weinger), in tow. Meanwhile, Jesse continues touring America and the world with his singing group "The Rippers," capitalizing on his surprise song hit, "Forever." And Danny and his girlfriend Vicky Larson (Gail Edwards) are still weighing the option of making their relationship permanent. In other sixth-season highlights, Mark Linn Baker guest stars as Becky's snooty millionaire cousin Dick Donaldson; little Michelle goes to great lengths to prevent her best friend, Teddy (Tahj Mowry), from moving to Amarillo; Stephanie's homemade ear-piercing job ends in disaster; Jesse graduates from night school, but a comedy of errors results in a sparse turnout for the ceremony; and Danny's daughters inadvertently wreck an expensive museum exhibit. The season ends with its traditional two-part finale, set in Disney World -- where Michelle wanders off and gets lost, and where Danny finally pops the question to Vicky. Though Full House lost a bit of its audience during the 1992-1993 season, the series remained comfortably in tenth place in the overall ratings. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The recurring role of 14-year-old Kimmy Gibbler graduates to co-star status as actress Andrea Barber is finally billed among the regulars at the beginning of each episode as Full House enters its fifth season. In other major developments, widowed dad Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) falls in love with Vicky Larson (Gail Edwards), who is filling in as substitute host on Danny's TV show "Wake Up San Francisco" while Becky Donaldson (Lori Loughlin), the wife of Danny's brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), is on maternity leave. As for Becky, she gives birth to twins during a two-part episode, going into labor during the birthday party of Danny's youngest daughter, Michelle (played by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen). The babies are named Alex and Nicky, but the infants playing the roles are not yet afforded screen credit. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
