Full House Fans Have A Fun Podcast They Can Enjoy
Cut it out! You got it, dude! Fans of the hugely popular 80s-90s sitcom Full House will recognize these very memorable catch phrases from the show. It is sweet, it is funny, at times very cheesy & corny but in the end it is a beloved show that will touch your heart at times and make you smile and laugh. So if you are a fan of the show, you should know about the podcast called Full House Rewind, hosted by Dave Coulier who has guests from the cast and crew and people connected with it on for interviews and some fun quizzes.
Dave as you may know was 1/3rd of the main male adult cast. The show was about Danny Tanner, a father of 3 young girls – 10 year old DJ, 5 year old Stephanie and baby Michelle – who has recently lost his wife. To help raise the girls, his best friend Joey and brother-in-law Jesse move in to the house and hence you get Full House. From season 2 you have Rebecca who joins the main cast and marries Jesse by season 4. They have twin sons, increasing the household even more. Add in next door neighbour Kimmy, a recurring character who joins the main castfrom season 5 and DJ’s boyfriend Steve who becomes a main caster for season 6 & 7.
The show lasted 192 episodes over 8 seasons before ending and the series was consistently in the Nielsen Top 30 (from season two onward) and continues to gain even more popularity in syndicated reruns, and is also aired internationally. Join beloved Director, Actor, Comedian and Television Host Dave Coulier (“Joey Gladstone”) as he reminisces on what it was like to grow up with your favorite TV family. From Uncle Jesse’s hair to Michelle’s attitude, relive some of the most hilarious and heartfelt moments with exclusive behind-the-scenes stories and interviews from VERY special guests. Full House Rewind will have a variety show feel with recurring segments and bits that along the way explore different family dynamics and relationships and how deeply the show impacted their own. Whether you’ve been a fan since the beginning or you’re watching “Full House” for the first time, there’s room for you in our home!
I’ve been enjoying watching an episode every few days along with rewatching the show on my tv. It’s been fun & nostalgic. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify or watch it on Youtube.

Three Great April Fool’s Day Pranks
1. The great spaghetti harvest
In 1957, the BBC pulled off what still ranks as one of the most famous April Fool’s Day gags of all time. Eight million people tuned in to watch Panorama’s three-minute feature on the ‘Swiss spaghetti harvest’. After an unseasonably warm winter brought an end to their dreadful spaghetti weevil pest control issue, the region of Ticino near the Italian border was said to have yielded an ‘exceptionally heavy spaghetti crop’. The footage showed people picking strands of spaghetti off trees and bushes before tucking into their home-grown feast. The prank occurred long before pasta became a staple in the average British diet, making the audience ripe for the picking. When viewers phoned in to find out how they could purchase their own spaghetti trees, the BBC told them to ‘place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best’.
2. Big Ben goes digital
In 1980, the BBC World Service announced that London’s most famous landmark was getting a facelift. The broadcaster told listeners that, to help tourists tell the time, the Big Ben clocktower would be going digital, and would henceforth be known as ‘Digital Dave’. The new and improved monument wouldn’t just tell the time – it would also issue a five-minute news bulletin every night. On top of that, the iconic bongs would be replaced with beeps. While some listeners clocked that this was an April Fool’s jest, many others rang in to express their outrage. A BBC spokesperson commented: ‘Surprisingly, few people thought it was funny.’
3. The incredible colour television hack
In 1962, years before colour television was rolled out in Sweden, viewers of Sveriges Television were tricked into believing they could transform their black and white screens with an easy DIY hack. Kjell Stensson, a ‘technical expert’, went into intricate detail on how stretching a mesh sheet over their screens could bend the light’s wavelengths, allowing viewers to see in full technicolour. Luckily, this could be easily achieved with an item found in many homes: nylon stockings. As it was the only TV network in Sweden at the time, enjoying the trust of the population, thousands of people fell for it.
