Almost everyone who savored the good old 1990's television undoubtedly remembers the cheesy yet irresistible quality that "Full House" provided for its 8 seasons on the air. In terms of this final episode, however, I must say that for a show that had an overwhelming number of better options for their finale (I'll elaborate on that later in this review), what they chose was dry, silly, and extremely corny for a show that could have stood to take a different direction.
It comes as no surprise that ever since the series premiered in 1987, the sweet little faces of the infamous Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen became a powerful staple in "Full House's" success. Everyone loved seeing these adorable little girls share the role of youngest daughter Michelle, and of course you had to figure that they would catapult her character to the center of this 2-part finale episode.
What could have been better than watching Michelle fall off a horse and lose her memory as the rest of the family lamented over her recovery? Well, there are a couple things: a girl for Joey, another child for Jesse and Becky, the return of Vicky...out of all the television shows I've ever watched, "Full House" is probably the one that had the most potential for something good and chose such a sour plot instead.
Cute as she was, little Michelle didn't have to be the center of everything....DJ and Stephanie really did get shortended throughout the series, and I think the finale could have been far better if their characters were emphasized a little more. Regardless of all this, however, "Full House" is a sound memory for many of us, and through its enduring cheesiness, it will always be remembered for what it was: a sweet, clean, and enjoyable show about family.
