Full House was a show so far ahead of it's time if you ask me. We now have shows that are almost modeling it: Modern Family, Fuller House (obviously), the list could go on. There are many things this show has taught me. Long story short, if you haven't watched it and if it isn't in your blood like it's in mine, here are a few reasons why I you should turn it on immediately.
For starters: men can raise children. While I'm so thankful for my loving mom and dad, I always thought it'd be cool to have your dad, your uncle, and your dad's best friend raise you. While there were a few bumps in the road, Michelle, DJ and Steph turned out to be great kids. So, while it's fair to want your kids to have a mom and a dad, two dads (or three in this case) work great as well if they all love and support each other.
"You Got It Dude" and "How Rude!" can work in almost every situation.
Your family can be some of your closest friends.
Sometimes the truth hurts. The other day I used Danny Tanner as an example for someone who's very good at communicating, and he is. Instead of just reprimanding someone for their mistakes, he finds a way to have a productive conversation, something we all should try once in a while. With that being said, seeking help or advice is also nothing to be ashamed of, especially in the Tanner house, there are countless people to go to when you need advice, and while we are now taught to keep it all inside, that's extremely unhealthy. There are always people around to help you if you go looking for it.
Peer Pressure can really mess you up if you let it. There are many episodes about peer pressure. When DJ skips school, when Steph's friends try and get her to smoke, there are so many more. You have to always remember that you can always say no, and tree's nothing wrong with that. Many TV shows encourage irresponsible behavior because it's the cool thing to do, but making good choices are more important than looking cool if you ask me.
Last but not least- Full House taught me to be yourself. You will always find someone that excepts you, even if it takes a little while. I learn more and more that I'm happier when I'm my full self.
There aren't many shows like this these days. Good thing I own almost every single season on DVD.
