10 Things Fans Never Knew About Full House | ScreenRant

Much loved sitcom Full House is the perfect nostalgic and comforting watch. While cheesy at times, this TV series about the Tanner family has been so loved and popular that it led to a Netflix revival, Fuller House, although that got pretty mixed reviews and isn't considered on the same level as the original.

Even people who are huge fans of a TV series can still learn new things about it, and there are a lot of behind-the-scenes facts about Full House that will be fascinating for fans. Read on to find out 10 things fans never knew about Full House.

10 Dave Coulier's Comedian Pal Said "Cut. It. Out."

Full House is famous for its catchphrases, along with many other sitcoms from that time period. It would be pretty difficult to imagine this show not including Uncle Joey saying "Cut. It. Out." on a regular basis.

While fans might think that one of the writers came up with this line, it was Dave Coulier's comedian friend, Mark Cendrowski (who has also directed The Big Bang Theory). He would say, “You’re in love with me, now cut. It. Out.” Coulier always insisted that he would find somewhere to say this line, and that's how Uncle Joey got this catchphrase.

9 Full House Only Got 8 Seasons Because Two Of The Actors Didn't Want To Do More

The question of how many seasons a TV show will get is sometimes a long and complicated one. While it would seem like a series would get canceled if ratings were down or the creator/showrunner/other writers and producers had run out of steam, sometimes it's the actors who have a lot to do with this kind of decision.

In the case of Full House, two of the actors didn't want to do more than 8 seasons so that was how many it got. It was Candace Cameron, who played D.J. Tanner, and John Stamos, whose best-known role is still Uncle Jesse on Full House.

8 John Stamos Came Up With "Have Mercy" In The Very First Episode

It turns out that Uncle Jesse's "Have Mercy" catchphrase wasn't something that the writers came up with, either. A fact that Full House fans might not know is that John Stamos came up with this phrase in the first episode.

Just like Joey's catchphrase, it would be so weird if Uncle Jesse didn't say "Have Mercy" all the time. He would be a totally different character, like if he wasn't so obsessed with his hair looking flawless every single day.

7 The Creator Wanted A Show About Comedians Called "House Of Comics"

Jeff Franklin was interested in creating a TV show called House Of Comics that, like the title explains, would have three comics in a house together.

It's interesting to hear this because while Full House isn't that show and is of course about a family, it does have a Three Men And A Baby kind of vibe, at least in the first season. It does feature three guys trying to raise kids together and figure out how to be a family... and, yes, they are pretty hilarious (if corny).

6 John Stamos Wasn't An Olsen Twin Fan And Wanted Other Twins

The Olsen twins became super famous because of their role playing Michelle Tanner on Full House, and they famously didn't want any part of the Netflix revival. So it's pretty surprising to hear that John Stamos wasn't a fan of them and wanted other twins to play this part in the beginning.

He didn't like that they were crying, but fortunately for fans of the show, the Olsen twins remained. It would feel like a completely different show if other twins had played this role. Sure, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would have most likely still found fame and success, but they are such a big part of the show.

5 Lori Loughlin Wasn't Supposed To Be A Main Character

It seems impossible to picture Full House without Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky, so it's pretty crazy to hear that Lori Louglin wasn't supposed to be a main character on the show.

She was all set to be in six episodes and that was going to be it for her time on Full House, but then she became a regular and, as fans know and love, she then started dating and eventually married Jesse.

4 Jeff Franklin Wanted Paul Reiser To Play Danny Tanner

Paul Reiser said no to playing Danny Tanner on Full House, which is something that fans of the sitcom definitely don't know about. The actor, writer, and comedian is best known for creating and starring in the sitcom Mad About You and he has had recent roles on popular Netflix shows Stranger Things and The Kominsky Method.

Many fans probably agree that while Reiser is a funny and talented actor, it's tough to picture anyone but Bob Saget in the role. He just worked so perfectly and really captures Danny's clean freak persona.

3 Netflix Was The Only Place That Wanted The Revival

It would seem like Full House was such a massive hit that every network would jump at the opportunity to take on a revival, but that's not what happened. John Stamos has said that no one said yes until Netflix did.

This definitely isn't something that fans would have guessed since when news came out about Fuller House, everyone was buzzing about it. While there is often a sense of fatigue surrounding revivals and reboots, it did make sense for D.J. Tanner to be raising her own kids in the same house that she grew up in.

2 Friends Filmed On The Exact Same Set

For those who grew up in the 1990s, Friends and Full House both occupy a special place in their hearts, as they are both nostalgia-inducing sitcoms from that time period. It's interesting to know that Friends and Full House were actually filmed on the exact same set.

Full House finished airing in 1995, and Friends began airing in 1994, so after the Tanner family packed up, Monica, Rachel, and the gang started filming there.

1 John Stamos Could Have Been Called Adam Cochran

Adam Cochran was the name of Uncle Jesse at the very beginning of the series. It's so weird to hear this because he will always be Uncle Jesse to fans, and Adam Cochran just isn't a very nice name.

As fans can tell, of course, Jesse ended up being the name given to this character. While at first John Stamos was going to play a character named Jesse Cochran, he was then called Jesse Katsopolis, and that last name stuck.
