Anyway, some thoughts.
Okay, what happened in Japan is about what i expected. Well, except for D.J. fishing a ring out of a fish after jumping over a small waterfall and a few other things. Although Kimmy dancing with Fernando and mixing disco with traditional Japanese dance was, while surreal, somewhat expected.
How scary is it when you can guess what Kimmy might do?
From jsut watching the Japan episode, I hope Rose is in more episodes, Max indicates they're in the same class at school. Plus she's really fun and TV doesn't have lots of great examples of girl characters her age.
Is it still right to call it "TV" anymore if it's just an offshoot? If not, what do we call the whole TV/Netflix/what's next set of entertainment?
obviously Danny wasn't born in 1908; but they didn't have garage sales back then either so it was obviously his joke. In fact, they may not have invented garages.
Kimmy's version of the "Miss Susie"hand-clapping rhyming thingy (yes, that's what I call them) is a bit different and a bit longer than I remember my friend sharing in the late '70s, but that's logical being 2/3 of the way across the continent; such things rarely have one set way to do it. Plus he may have heard the boys' version. Or, Kimmy made one up.
Someone better warn Rocki that wasn't her mom, but Kathy Santoni, who was partying under the bleachers. Of course, Kathy knew about it the first day of 7th grade, but still...
And, she could have been joking, I am a tad overprotective; yes, even of TV characters. As my cousin said 20 years ago, I am a real life Danny Tanner in some ways.
Speaking of growing up in the '70s/early '80s, it was great hearing Girl Talk do (an even older) song I remember well from the radio back then. And, obviously Gia knew it, too, so Steph had some pretty good influence on her, just like Jackson had some on Rocki.
Hmmm, Max might have a new girlfriend - or does he? He doesn't mind a little kiss of Rose's hand, but Dakota seems to turn him off some.
Who's worse, Dakota or Becky's annoying cousins' girls Debbie and Darla? i thought Dakota but...she might order her mom around but she's at least a little more courteous than they were. By the way, my 200th episode here https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7599137/1/ ... th-Episode was a perfect way to set them straight and have great flashbacks, had there been a 9th season. It's on the site, too. I hope I could connect the link to the words "200th episode here" successfully.
So the 30th "Dadiversary" is in October; it's just after the Homecoming dance which has the month stated. But, nobody said 30 years to the day and Becky's quip ("That's not a thing") not only could be saying there's no such thing as a Dadiversary but may very well lampshade the fact it's not the actual date. So, don't worry, those who follow the calendar like the ones who urged us to do the Chronology - they 8are* following the calendar. These people know what they're doing.
The person who brought an alligator into the veterinarian's office... not so much.
Wouldn't most people take one to a wildlife refuge? Or even the zoo?
Then again, I wouldn't want to have an alligator in my vehicle for long either, so if it crawled out of the sewer and they were closest...okay, it makes sense.
Oh, no, I'm thinking like a Gibbler again.
Yes, Jesse Katsopolis as the '80s version of the Fonz! We all saw the resemblance in the first few seasons as he grew as a character, how sweet it was to see him pull one of those signature Fonz moves - on a vending machine, but same difference.
And, yes, Happy Days took place in the '50s and '60s, but aired till 1984, and since the Fonz made songs from 2-5 years after the date the episode took place come out of that jukebox, the time-space continuum is so messed up anyway that the Fonz at an '80s-theme party fits right in.
And thankfully, I didn't even have to go Gibbler Style to do that one... though maybe a bit of Back to the Future. Which is another '80s theme...oh, oh, and they went back to 1955! So, yes! Jesse as the Fonz works 2 ways!
Told you I was as corny as Danny.
So, if there's a season 4...
No Matt, except maybe once as a business rival, no CJ, but possibly Rose as just a classmate, as CJ can be over the whole Steve thing especially as she wonders whether she'd have wanted to move to LA for 6 months)
It would take place starting late July at the earliest if they want to have Steph with a newborn (NBA season starts in mid-October)
Joey would be back with his wife by then and not on that cruise ship, leaving only fan fiction writers to wonder what happened during those months with Joey and his kids tehre...
...or, maybe they tricked Dakota into having her mom watch them, thus driving her crazy and forcing her to take back the reins and not let her daughter be so demanding, or even forcing Dakota to stop being so demanding and just give the reins over to someone else. That's how I'd do it if I were them.
Yeah, I know...I'm sneaky. But that would be priceless!
And just might be D.J.'s best use of the tanner-Fuller magic yet. She could be pretty sneaky, too, from an early age.
Danny and Vicki can get married now, and have a real uneventful wedding after a while. Of course, that means it could wind up not even needing an episode. Then again, nothing seems to be uneventful with this family. Er, families.
Would Danny *really* be living there? For how long? My guess is, not very. But, who knows. It would seem weird to have him as a regular cast member in season 4, though.
Then gain, maybe Vicki moved back and Danny wouls just move in with her once they married. Which I find myself hoping happens.
Tommy needing a speech therapist might never be mentioned again, becaust it might not be a long term thing. I mean, Steph clearly didn't have a lisp by age 5.5 when "Full House" started, and especially back then, did they really hire speech therapists before Kindergarten?
then again, she was reading at 4 and one could argue so verbal that they were worried it would become a habit. So, yeah, maybe it was far enough behind her other skills she had one for a year. Still, not likely to be mentioned again.
A bigger sign of his needing one and D.J. just realizing/ Babies in a house with lots of talkers are usually more verbal, or at least verbal much more quickly, because they have so much more to copy. And, Tommy had turned 2 by that point so there could easily be signs that a teacher would pick up on who was experienced int hat area.
In fact, the vast number of other people who would be helping make it even more plausible D.J. wouldn't catch a delay, as would the fact she as a parent could always tell herself "boys are just normally less verbal than girls" and comparing him to herself rather than to his brothers at that age. So that fact D.J. could miss a slight delay is very plausible.
As for Michelle, I had to make that guess, but i said it was crazy and Kimmy was the likely surrogate. But, if it's after Steph gives birth that the season starts they can go for mentioning her being at the birth; or the previous Thanksgiving or Christmas. Just 1-2 mentions of the character is enough, though I keep saying she should be "there but not on screen" once. In my season 9 episodes I said that's how they should have done Jesse, thus not having to end depiste his not returning.
But, I'm the same one who said Melina should have been the character the other Olsen Twin would have played starting in season 6 when they wanted to split them up, thus ending the whole problem before it started. Sometimes Hollywood people just don't think outside the box enough.
Oh, well, they've done some good things and made some grat references to the past while havinga fun new show, and I hope it continues. Those are my thoughts - any others?
