Because he adores children, Joey (David Coulier) is certain that he'd be the ideal host for the new educational TV series "Mr. Egghead." Alas, Joey's taped audition for the show ends in disaster--and worse still, Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) suffers a broken nose during the taping, one day before her class photo is to be taken (Evidently, the scriptwriters hadn't forgotten the famous "swollen nose" episode of The Brady Bunch). Other crosses borne by the Tanner family include a troublesome traffic ticket for Danny (Bob Saget) and DJ (Candace Cameron). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jesse (John Stamos) is thrilled when his old buddy Pete Biaco (guest star Scott Baio) pays a visit and begins waxing nostalgic about the crazy things they used to do together. But when Pete accuses Jesse of forsaking his old "Dr. Dare" personality in favor of dull domesticity, Jesse is determined to prove that he is as reckless as ever by restaging a treacherous motorcycle stunt (and no, he doesn't "jump the shark"). Elsewhere, Michelle (played by the Olsen twins) declares war on family dog Comet when the pooch eats her ice cream. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When Joey (David Coulier) and the girls want to adopt a stray dog, Danny (Bob Saget) and Jesse (John Stamos) say "no". As if this makes a difference: before long, the pooch is hiding out in Jesse's bedroom. And adding to the "fun", the dog is about to become a mother. This episode marks the first appearance of the Tanner family's pet dog Comet (though not yet identified by name). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While attending a charity event with her family, DJ (Candace Cameron) meets her very first boyfriend, a 6th grader named Michael Montfort (Jonathan Brandis). Alas, the boy is merely using her to meet another girl, and before long our 13-year-old heroine is nursing a broken heart. Fortunately, DJ can count on her family to rally together and cheer her up in an amusingly unorthodox fashion (and this despite a time-consuming subplot involving a "bachelor auction.") ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

To find out why DJ (Candace Cameron) is failing Spanish, Danny (Bob Saget) pays a visit to his daughter's teacher, "Senorita" Linda Mosley (Lydia Cornell). What starts as a simple parent-teacher conference ends with an unexpected burst of passion as the smitten Senorita Mosley plants a kiss on Danny--an event that the whole school is soon buzzing about, to DJ's utter mortification. Meanwhile, Joey (David Coulier) and Jesse (John Stamos) groom Michelle (played by the Olsen twins) to star as a talking marshmallow in a TV commercial. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story set in Lake Tahoe, Jesse (John Stamos) has proposed marriage to Becky (Lisa Loughlin), and she has accepted. To make sure that neither he nor Becky will change their minds, Jesse insists upon being wed within the hour, and without informing the rest of the Tanner household. But DJ (Candace Cameron) and Steph (Jodie Sweetin) find out what's afoot, whereupon the family does its darnedest to persuade Jesse and Becky to think things over before jumping head-first into the sea of matrimony. This is the final episode of Full House's second season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the first episode of a two-part story, the Tanners head to Nevada when "Wake Up, San Fransisco" is booked for a remote broadcast in Lake Tahoe, cohosted by Danny (Bob Saget) and Becky (Lisa Loughlin). Not surprisingly, the various family members get into various misadventures, such as DJ winning a huge amount of money at the casino even though she's legally barred from admittance. As for Jesse (John Stamos), he doesn't like the fact Becky is getting chummy with movie actor Robin Masters (Steve Bond). This of course leads to a heated argument between Jesse and Becky--capped by a surprise proposal of marriage. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When "Wake Up San Francisco" goes on location to a horse farm, host Danny (Bob Saget) brings daughter DJ (Candace Cameron) along. Upon arrival, DJ is enchanted by an elderly horse named Rocket. Determined to have Rocket for herself, DJ and her friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber) secretly make arrangements to earn enough money to buy the horse; then, and only then, will she tell her dad about the purchase. Unfortunately, this requires DJ to spin a web of falsehoods to prevent Danny from finding out what she's up to. Nathan Nishiguchi makes his first series appearance as Stephanie's friend Harry Takyama, who insists upon calling her "Chief." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
