Trivia

• The first episode is a Full House (1987) reunion special. Creator Jeff Franklin called it “in essence, the last episode for the fans, that we never got to do.”
• A full-scale replica of the house exterior was constructed on the Warner Brothers lot, after the owners of the original house refused permission to film their property. Tired of the constant visits from fans on a daily basis, the owners put the house up for sale after the first season was released. The house was bought for four million dollars, by its new owner, Executive Producer and Series Creator Jeff Franklin. Franklin’s first move as the house’s owner was to restore the house’s door to its famous red color, as seen on the show. “It will be a lot more fun for the fans, because now the house will look like the Tanners really live there,” he said, adding, “It’s a gift to the fans, but it’s also fun for me to own it.”
• The Mr. Woodchuck puppet used by Dave Coulier, was a gift given to him by Jimmy Fallon. The original puppet had been destroyed by Dave’s yellow labrador, Ranger, shortly after Full House (1987) ended.
• A recurring trait of Tommy’s in the first season is that he frequently looks up, with the other characters unable to determine why. This was written into the show when twin babies Dashiell Messitt and Fox Messitt would often be distracted by the boom microphones above the actors’ heads.
• Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen were considered for the role of the third adult lead, with the role of Michelle to be given to only one of them, for continuity purposes, as both sisters had differed in their appearance from each other since their childhood days on Full House (1987). However, when both sisters passed on the offer, the role of the third adult lead was instead given to Andrea Barber.
