10/10
Destined To Be A Classic.
2 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those pilots that is a true start to a series. Not one of those that could be placed anywhere. This is a perfect summary of the series and shows exactly how it all started.

This show revolves around sports anchor Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) and his three daughters DJ (Candace Cameron), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (the Olsen Twins). Danny's wife recently died in a car accident and his mother is returning home, so he gets his brother-in-law Jesse (John Stamos) and best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) to move in and help raise his family. Jesse is an up-and-coming rockstar who is irresponsible and a playboy. Joey is an immature, up-and-coming comedian who can brighten anybody's day.

In this pilot, Danny's mother leaves, Joey and Jesse move in, Danny goes to work, and Joey and Jesse are left with he girls. The most classic scene in this episode is when they try to change baby Michelle's diaper. Their ignorance on how to do it makes for one funny sequence. Later, DJ moves into the garage after she is forced to share her room with Stephanie. It is cheesy how she moves back in, but it is very heartfelt and honest. Her mother dies, her grandma leave, and her bedroom in being diminished. Who can blame her? Luckily, every problem in this show gets fixed in a half hour.
