One of the Most Important Episodes.

This episode has it all. Layers, reliability, comedy, tenderness, and others. But it is perhaps the only footage of Pam Tanner that is seen that makes this such an important one.

Danny's favourite time of year is Spring cleaning. Once a year, he gathers the household to clean the house spotless. One of the components for the girls is to give the toys they don't play with anymore to charity. Stephanie's favourite stuffed animal is Mr. Bear and he accidentally gets mixed up in what is sent to charity. Mr. Bear is the one stuffed animal I wish I had because it is so cute. She goes berserk and everybody else tries to snap her out of it. Little seemingly random stuff can sometimes have the biggest sentimental value. In Stephanie's case, Mr. Bear was a big sister give from their mother when Michelle came home from the hospital. Mom is discussed in the last few minutes in what is heartrending. The home movie is shown in what was a big surprise in how good it looked. It is also the only time Pam Tanner is seen. Pam is beautiful and resembles all three girls. I actually got the chills during the tape.

The subplot features Jesse accidentally ruining Danny's kitchen. Absolutely hilarious.

The One Where Mr. Bear Goes Bye-Bye...

I like this episode. It's funny, it's touching and it's a little sad. I think Stephanie handled losing Mr. Bear very well. I think about the way I would've reacted and it was a bit more dramatic than the way she did.

In this episode, it's Christmas, but only for Danny, as it is Spring Cleaning. Everyone is gathering up things to give to charity, and Stephanie and D.J. are choosing which toys stay, and which toys go. But then, Joey thinks he accidentally gave Mr. Bear away as well. Stephanie is devastated and heart-broken. Everyone wonders why she is so attached to Mr. Bear, and we eventually discover why.

Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

We love you Mom!

This is a very special episode. It is the only episode we get to see Danny's late wife, Pam. But I'll get to that in a minute.

The main event in this episode is Stephanie's loss of her beloved friend, Mr. Bear. It's cleaning day and Danny tells Stephanie to gather all her old toys she no longer wants to donate to Goodwill. Unfortunately, she carelessly throws Mr. Bear down in the pile of toys. Joey comes in and picks up the pile of toys, then gives them to the men.

Guess who get's blamed? Stephanie is so desperate to find her furry friend that she even grabs a cop off the street. When the cop discovers the truth, he merely shakes his head at Joey who he undoubtedly thinks should be in jail for such a crime against a little girl!

The real reason Stephanie loves her bear so much is soon discovered. That leads to watching of home movies, which leads to a very depressing ending!

One of my favorite episodes!
