(More customer reviews)Recognizing they needed something to keep the whole family glued to the television set, the writers appear to have focused many episodes this season on Uncle Jesse (John Stamos). With his brooding good looks and ability to keep house, he is the housewife's ideal companion.
The season opens with a minor emergency in the Tanner family household. While playing hairdresser, Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) accidentally cut off a tuft of her uncle Jesse's valuable hair. Brushing aside the improbability that he would have allowed anybody near his hair with scissors, this is a funny episode because Stephanie later blames herself when he gets in a motorcycle crash.
Stamos actually gets a haircut this season, shedding his 80's locks for something which is so much more sophisticated and hot. Now it's easy to see why he was positioned as the Romeo of this otherwise wholesome series.
Jesse meets his Juliet because Danny gives up sports casting to become the new host of "Wake up San Francisco"-with Rebecca Donaldson (Lori Loughlin). These morning shows aren't known for their hard-nosed journalists, but Rebecca is an intelligent young woman who does not play the fool. She sees through Jesse's bravado.
This season also sees Joey Gladstone (Dave Couiler)'s character develop further. After realizing that he has to `get tough' on the girls so they don't walk all over him, Joey lets loose on DJ (Candace Cameron) after she comes in late ("Joey Gets Tough"). Coulier's underappreciated as an actor because his `strict Joey' sounded exactly how my dad did when I did something that I wasn't supposed to.
Jesse disciplines DJ when she and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) accidentally tape over a Rippers recording in "Fogged Inn" . Because it is a family sitcom, all is quickly forgiven and Jesse makes up for his having yelled at DJ by giving her a new drums set.
During "Pal Joey", Danny confides that he feels the 20-year friendship agreement which the guys made with each other to always be there is being broken. Since they all moved in together, Jesse and Joey have become great friends. Danny's happy that people are getting along, but the situation is uncomfortable for him.
DJ has an uncomfortable situation in "El Problema Grande de DJ" because her dad and Spanish teacher become romantically involved. This is uncomfortable for any kid, but having the teacher of your hardest class dating your parent means that you probably won't be cut any kind of slack-and would be expected to work significantly harder. Again, this episode holds up well years later because it tackles a timeless concern of kids with sensitivity.
Finally, Jesse proposes to Becky when "Wake Up San Francisco" films a special in Lake Tahoe, New Mexico ("Luck be a Lady" ). The two-part season finale also has some drama, after they have a nasty *for them* fight and make up, Jesse wants to marry Rebecca quickly and secretly without the rest of his family knowing what is happening.
21 episodes of the 88-89 season provide a little bit of everything. The Beach Boys even make a special appearance as themselves in an episode when they agree to play with Jesse's band in a private concert at the house. It is just enough to keep your own full house mildly entertained.
