After all these years, Dave Coulier says that he has never watched a single episode of Full House all the way through. Playing Danny’s college friend who moved in with the Tanners to help raise the kids, Joey was the only non-blood-related core cast member in the family sitcom. Despite that, he had been an integral part of the clan’s story, particularly when raising DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle.
When the cast of Full House reunited at ’90s Con in Connecticut, Coulier made a shocking revelation that he hasn’t seen a single episode of the series completely. Per Parade, the actor explains that this decision has something to do with how his kids view that family comedy. Read his full quote below:
“We used to call it ‘Daddy’s show,.’ He would say, ‘Can I watch Daddy’s show?'” The actor then remembered that his son would laugh at the episodes, apparently noting at the time, “Dad, you just did the stupidest thing!”
Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on *Full House* and its sequel *Fuller House*, has admitted that she has never watched a full episode of *Full House* all the way through. Despite being one of the main stars of the show, Sweetin has mentioned in interviews that she never sat down to watch the episodes in their entirety, even though she enjoyed being part of the show.
Sweetin has explained that while she loves the show and appreciates its impact, watching herself as a child on screen can feel strange and a bit uncomfortable. This isn’t uncommon for actors who grew up on television, as seeing themselves at such a young age can bring back memories or make them feel self-conscious.
Her lack of viewing doesn’t take away from her fond memories of working on the show, but it does highlight how different the experience of creating a show can be from watching it as a viewer.
