The One With The Role Reversals...

[taylorkingston · 10/10 · 9 June 2015]

I love this episode. It's so funny and so interesting. I love the use of a future dream and the kids switching roles with the adults. It's one of my all-time favorite episodes from Season 3.

In this episode, Stephanie, D.J. and Michelle are irritated at how annoyed the adults get when they want things. Danny has a vision of the future where he, Jesse and Joey are still cooking, cleaning for the girls and running them around. So, they decide to change roles for the day. The kids will be the adults and the adults will be the kids. The girls think this is great and at first are very happy with the arrangement. But when lunch time comes and the guys constantly make them remake lunch, they start to understand why they're being punished this way and that they can't be so demanding all the time.

Best part of the episode: When the girls make the guys lunch.

Worst part of the episode: How ungrateful the girls are.

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

Well Knowing How Lenient The Adults In the Tanner House Are...

[Movie-ManDan · 5/10 · 19 July 2018]

As much as I love 'Full House' one flaw that always bothers me is how much the adults in the house let the kids get away with everything. DJ is a sanctimonious knowitall, Michelle is a spoiled brat and Stephanie can sometimes get split with the two. No discipline to raise these girls properly. I think writers had a feeling of this so they made an episode about it. But it is too close with the characters normal traits.

The first and last bits of the episode are good because it is very common in households. The guys and Becky do so much for the girls that they often just expect things and never say thanks. To teach the girls their wrong doings, Danny decides to make a game where the adults are the kids and the kids are the adults, and the adults will be the ungrateful ones. Bad idea. The girls don't see it.

Then the episode switches into its bulk. The guys imagine life years down the road: they are elderly and still in the house, the girls still live in the house and order them around all day with the guys obeying their every order. It was meant to be funny, but I found it sad. It wouldn't be surprising if the guys really did end up like that. Thankfully the scene finishes and they explain the girls' wrong doings. Thank God they did!
