This has always been one of my favourite episodes in the entire show, not just this season. This is about reminiscing, and why and how Danny and Joey have remained friends for so long. In this, we get it all in just the right spots.
After a while of doing jingles together, Danny feels left out of the trio. Danny and Joey's lifelong friendship is what the strain is put on the most. We then get a five minute flashback to the day Danny and Joey first meet: grade 5 in 1968. Joey moves to a new school where he gets in trouble for bringing in clowns. He happens to sit beside an injured Danny on a bench where a bully comes back to pick on Danny some more. Joey uses some of his comedy to defend Danny, then Danny defends Joey back from the bully and the teacher. From that point on, they did everything together.
The subplot features Stephanie's boyfriend Harry falling for DJ. This subplot is hilarious as heck!
The high point of the episode is the flashback scene. The kid that plays Danny looks exactly like him. The Joey and Jesse kids don't bear striking resemblance, but are still perfect in how to play their older counterparts. That's right, Jesse is in the flashback. He was crazy about girls even in kindergarten.
One thing I love about this is how personal I connect with this. There's a few friends of mine in my lifetime whom I have been friends with for almost 20 years. I'm catching up to Danny and Joey.
If there is a flaw, it is the ending.
