Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S1E12 Save The Dates, which aired on February 26, 2016. In this episode D.J. has a date with her past that catches her off guard, and Kimmy's date with Fernando is nothing but surprises. Loved Steve's Bayside Letterman jacket, but the fake toupee has to go, like yesterday! Matt was adorable in this episode, but I will always be Team Steejay! and S2E7: Girl Talk, which aired on December 9, 2016. In this episode Kimmy hatches a plan to reunite and relaunch the girls' childhood band, Girl Talk; a vengeful video making fun of Ramona goes viral. I also complain a lot about how much I can't stand Gia, but if we have to have her to get Rocki, I'll deal with it. Popko is a giant jerk, I never could stand this guy, and this episode just cements that fact. I loved how Jackson stood up for Ramona. Join me next month when I cover S2E8: A Tangled Web, which aired December 9, 2016. In this episode Jackson pet-sits Lola's tarantula, Dj works over time to help Max on a school project, and Jimmy makes a music video for Stephanie's latest hit. and S2E9: Glazed and Confused, which aired December 9, 2016 In this episode with out-of-town trips planned for the adults, Uncle Joey delivers doughnuts -- and unexpected drama. Stephanie's nervous about singing on television. Have a great rest of March and I'll be back in late April!
Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E14: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, which aired on January 16, 1988. In this episode Vicki gives a bank computer data that Ted is dead. This creates issues for him and Joan because they can't use their credit cards to buy groceries, since Ted had been doing what we in today's world refer to online banking to pay our bills. He was 30 years ahead of his time here, however Vicki mishears Ted mention something about him being dead and Vicki inputs that data into the computer to cut off his credit because he's dead. He has to go to the bank to prove he's alive, which doesn't do anything, he doesn't show his ID, the the bank manager has no idea if he is who he says he is. Joan and Ted have a fake funeral to prove to the bank creator and other random people including Brandon and Bonnie (Edie McClurg's final episode) that he is very much alive. Jamie and Vicki have a small side plot where he's selling packets of Christmas Tree Seeds in January for $3.95. No one's buying that crap because no ones thinking of Christmas in January. Joan gets a Life Insurance check for $100,000, that of course they have to give back. Join me later this month when I cover S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles, which aired on January 23, 1988. In this episode the Lawsons plot to convince the Brindles to move. See ya'll later this month! Overall not a bad episode.
Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S1E10 A Giant Leap, which aired on February 26, 2016. In this episode things get out of hand when Stephanie's new boyfriend, Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants, invites everyone to one of his baseball games. and S1E11: Partnerships in the Night. In this episode Stephanie and Kimmy form a strange partnership, D.J.'s boss retires, and Max has Jackson and Ramona right where he wants them. I really enjoyed these episodes. I thought they were cute and funny. Join me next month for S1E12 Save The Dates. In this episode D.J. has a date with her past that catches her off guard, and Kimmy's date with Fernando is nothing but surprises. and S2E7: Girl Talk. In this episode Kimmy hatches a plan to reunite and relaunch the girls' childhood band, Girl Talk; a vengeful video making fun of Ramona goes viral. Have a great week everyone!
Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E13: Ooga Mooga, which aired on December 7, 1987. In this episode The Lawsons perform at a lodge fund-raiser. This was the last episode of 1987. What a way to kick off 2024 with a shit-tastic episode, was I right , or was I right? It really sucked soo bad and Brandon Brindle's dumb a$$ self has the most to do with it. Add in that creepy 6 foot tall doll, then Joan and Vicki dressing up as said doll to recreate an act at the lodge fundraiser talent show. Ted and Brandon's boss is dumber than a box of rocks if he mistook Ted for Brandon. I knew Ted was originally meant for that position. Jamie's magic tricks were horrible, time for a new hobby Jamie or a get rich quick scheme, plus I thought Jamie seemed a little too old to do doing magic tricks, not that there's an age requirement on playing magic tricks, just seems kinda beneath him, ya know, it's Jamie. Unless he's charging people to watch him perform said magic tricks. I mean it did cost Brandon $10. Luckily the episode for February looks a lot more funner and enjoyable. Join me next month when I cover S3E14: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, which aired on January 16, 1988. The first episode of 1988. In this episode Vicki gives a bank computer data that Ted is dead. Have a great rest of January and see you next month.
Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S1E3: Funner House, which aired on February 26, 2016. In this episode when Stephanie, Kimmy and DJ have a girls' night out and leave Joey in charge of the kids, things get wild out on the town and at home. Wasn't a fan of the nightclub stuff with the girls, but Joey babysitting the kids at home was fun to watch. and I also covered S1E9: War Of The Roses, which aired on February 26, 2016. In this episode after 1,000 roses show up without a card, D.J., Kimmy, and Stephanie must figure out which one of them has a secret admirer. This episode was kinda lackluster to me, nothing really special. Not happy with what the writers did to Becky's character though. They made her as maniac as DJ is. Join me next time for S1E10: A Giant Leap, which aired February 26,2016. In this episode Things get out of hand when Stephanie's new boyfriend, Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants, invites everyone to one of his baseball games. and S1E11: Partnerships In The Night, which aired on February 26, 2016. In this episode Things get out of hand when Stephanie's new boyfriend, Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants, invites everyone to one of his baseball games. Hope you enjoyed the Podcast Episode and have a great weekend everyone!
Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E12: The Bank Job, which aired on November 28, 1987. In this episode, Harriet, Jamie and Vicki foil a bank robber. As far as episodes go, this one was kinda weak sauce. Diff'rent Strokes did a much better episode on a bank robbery back in the early 80's. Aside from the bank robbery, which btw's took place when there was less than 10 minutes left in the episode, so ya know, no real high stakes. Just a man dressed as a woman, who looks like he's never held a gun before, which wasn't surprising considering he told the bank teller, he was new at the whole stick up situation. Aside from that, the side plot of Ted and Brandon getting measles was total BS, the writers should have just led with the chicken pox like on Full House Season 1. At least we learn that Jamie had his MMR Vac. Join me in January when I cover what I feel will be a crap episode S3E13: Ooga Mooga, which aired on December 5, 1987. In this episode the Lawsons perform at a lodge fund-raiser. What is the hoopla - poopla garbage excuse for an episode! Have a great rest of 2023 and I'll see ya next month.
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Well, the time has come, we've reached the end of the Full House portion of this podcast as I covered the Series Finale, Full House S8E23 &S8E24: Michelle Rides Again Parts 1 & 2. Both episodes aired in a special 1 Hour Series Finale on May 23, 1995. I remember being so excited and yet so sad that the show I grew up watching as a child was coming to an end. I grew up with The Tanner family as I'm sure a lot of you listeners also did as well. Shared in the laughter, tears and the big moments, Jesse and Becky's wedding in Season 4 and the arrival of Nicky and Alex in Season 5. Here's the synopsis for Full House S8E23: Michelle Rides Again: PART 1: In this episode while out horseback riding, Michelle's horse runs into a tree, throwing her and causing her to hit her head. In PART 2: In this episode the Tanner family helps Michelle try to regain her memory. I think for a Series Finale of a long running show, the Finale holds up, sure Jesse and Joey's wrestling gig was a bit goofy, but we needed it to balance out the heavy stuff with Michelle's accident. The surprise reveal of Steve at the end was the Marshmallow (I hate cherries) on the Sundae for me. And of course I got choked up when Michelle asked about her Mom, those violins do me in every time. Lastly I want to thank you all for listening to this podcast for the last four and a half years as I went on this journey. The reviews and ratings on Itunes, along the way as well as being a part of the Facebook Page and sending emails too. That being said I will be back to continue my coverage of Fuller House in January 2024. Have a great rest of 2023 and I'll be back soon.
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm covering the last episode in The Not So Great Of Season (IMO) Series, Full House S8E20: Up On The Roof, which aired on March 14, 1995. In this episode D.J., wanting to do an elaborate senior prank, lifts her principal's car onto the roof of the school using a crane; Becky offers to teach Michelle to cook. This episode was a step up from DJ's Choice, I'd even go so far to say I liked it a little more than Air Jesse, thanks to Joey's invention of Silly Doh, combining Silly Putty and Play Doh together for the boys to play with and Comet ends up eating some, but it's non toxic, so it's fine. Becky's "Comet's been out chasing Smurfs", joke absolutely slayed me. DJ's principal who was also Jesse's principal (wouldn't he also be Danny and Joey's as well) looks not much older than Jesse, how is that possible? The car on the roof prank was genius, but DJ's goody two shoes reason for doing it is kinda lame. She wants to leave behind a legacy or at least be remembered by her fellow classmates. Deej, you were the organizer of every school function between junior high and high school, I'm sure you will not be forgotten anytime soon. Becky and Michelle's meat loaf looks more like a meat mountain when Becky pulls it out of the oven, Becky forgot that the recipe was meant to feed her Grandma's whole trailer park. Good golly that's a lot of beef! Join me next week when I cover the last episodes of Full House for this podcast! Full House S8E23 & S8E24: Michelle Rides Again Parts 1 & 2, which aired on May 23, 1995. PART 1: In this episode while out horseback riding, Michelle's horse runs into a tree, throwing her and causing her to hit her head. PART 2: The Tanner family helps Michelle try to regain her memory. Hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode! Have a great holiday next week if you celebrate it!
Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E11: The Fats of Life, which aired on November 21, 1987. In this episode Vicki literally balloons after Ted unwittingly upgrades her energy-supplementing polynucleotide processor with an appetite, which creates excess digestive gases and causes her a date issue for the school dance. We see the return of Jessica again, as well as a boy who is basically her male equivalent, self absorbed and he's set his sights on Vicki as his date to what they're calling the "prom" (really, they're in junior high), but drops her as soon he sees she has ballooned up due to a malfunction, Warren still as ever smitten with Vicki feels he's found an equal when he sees she's expanded outward, but he feels slighted after Ted fixes Vicki and she returns to normal size. Of course Harriet tries to interject herself in Jamie's life by trying to get him to take her to the dance ( even though they don't go to the same school) We also met Wanda, Warren's sister who is basically forgettable, she has no lines. She's so shy, the teachers forget she exists in their class. Overall, an ok episode. Join me later this month for S3E12: The Bank Job, which aired on November 28, 1987. In this episode Harriet, Jamie and Vicki foil a bank robber.
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm continuing The Not So Great Of Season 8 (IMO) Series with S8E16: Air Jesse, which aired on February 7, 1995. In this episode, after being recruited by D.J. to play in a charity basketball game, Jesse gets tips from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jesse CANNOT make a basket and knows nothing about basketball. What the heck! He played 2 on 2 with Danny, Joey, and Cousin Steve in Season 1. Did 7 years of knowing how to play just disappear? Kareem takes pity on Jesse, because apparently if you're a grown man you should automatically know how to play basketball. No way Nick Katsopolis wouldn't have taught his son how to play, he knows about baseball. He would know about this sport too. Jesse finds his magic sweet spot on the court that guarantees a basket every time the ball comes near it. He just wants his son's to be proud of him. Newsflash they already are, because you're their dad. Also in this episode as a side plot Stephanie makes a horrendous looking blouse in Home Ec and gives it to Becky after she assumes Becky loves it. This blouse is a hodge podge nightmare come to life, multiple buttons of various sizes here, there and everywhere. No article of clothing needs that many buttons. EVER! Becky trying to spare Steph's feelings with her honest opinion wears the blouse out of guilt to a charity basketball game (which Jesse and the boys are playing in) when a reporter/fan/stalker of Becky shows up to snap a photo for her scrap book or which ever paper she claims to work for, Becky's true feelings about the blouse come out when Becky realizes her picture wearing the blouse with be on every door step in San Francisco, I mean she's a co host of Wake Up San Francisco, she has an image to project and protect, viewers only see her in blazers and matching slacks or dresses, top of the line WUS approved apparel, heaven forbid she wear something that screams fashion police nightmare outside of work. Kimmy still 7 years later (See Season 1 Just One of The Guys Season 1 for example) cannot keep her hands off the players butts (she's their coach) apparently both DJ and Kimmy are hosting this basketball charity event to raise money for a cause of some kind. Crazy pants episode for sure. Join me next week when I cover the last episode in this Series, Full House S8E20: Up On The Roof, which aired on March 14, 1995. In this episode D.J., wanting to do an elaborate senior prank, lifts her principal's car onto the roof of the school using a crane; Becky offers to teach Michelle to cook. Have a great week everyone! I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I cover the last Series of Episodes for this Podcast with, The Not So Great Of Season 8 Series and the episode I covered to kick this off is Full House S8E12 D.J.'s Choice, which aired on January 3, 1995. In this episode Nelson and Viper compete to be D.J.'s boyfriend, and Nelson hires FRANKIE VALLI (himself) to serenade her; Michelle leads the family on a crusade to clean up a vandalized playground. Don't have much to say on this episode other than it's the weakest of the three in this Series of episodes and the Series of Full House (IMO). I could care less who DJ is romantically involved with at this point since she broke up with Steve in Season 7. Nelson is bland and basic, a Richie Rich type with a mullet and Viper is a dumpster fire of a human being. I mean he breaks up with DJ because in his mind they're moving too fast for him and then he expects her to just take him back because he sang her a song about how much he misses and her made a mistake. Goodbye, Viper! And the rest of the Season is Viper-less. Thank goodness! The side plot is of the family and neighbors fixing up the vandalized city park, so Nicky and Alex can learn how to swing without an adult having to assist in pushing them. Just get a swing set in the backyard. Join me next week when I cover Full House S8E16: Air Jesse, which aired on February 5, 1995. In this episode after being recruited by D.J. to play in a charity basketball game, Jesse gets tips from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode and have a great weekend!
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the last episode in the Joey's Comedy Career Journey Series, with Full House S5E6: The Legend of Ranger Joe, which aired on October 22, 1991. In this episode In this episode, Joey hits a string of great luck! He gets free cable, concert tickets and job interviews, he even gets a date with a hot girl, but then his luck runs short when his interview comes along. Michelle learns to tap and really annoys Stephanie, who taught her to tap. She annoys her so much that one day the shoes go missing...who do you think took them? Jesse debates what to name his twins, when they are born, and accidentally reveals to DJ that he has a secret about his past. We later find out that he got his name changed in kindergarten. I liked this episode, it was so much fun and had so much going on, Joey's riding high on a string of good luck, newspaper strike doesn't print a bad review on his comedy act, wins Donnie and Marie Reunion Concert Tickets and gets a date with the cable repair lady all in one morning and the cherry on the sundae he gets a chance to audition to be the new host of the children's show Ranger Roy later to be named Ranger Joe. One by one the dominos fall, newspaper strike over, concert tickets are a no go because he has a distant relative that works for the station that ultimately disqualifies him from being able to accept the tickets which leads him to lose the date with the cable lady. And in finding out he got the position as the new host of the kid's show he grabs Ranger Roy (who has a no human contact phobia) in a big bear hug, leaves quickly to tell his agent and Danny is the one to break the news to him, he was fired. Yikes! On a side note, Jesse's obsessed with coming up with cool names for the twins, A hidden secret from his past, his real name is Hermes (not buying this one at all) so he begged him Mom to change it to Jesse. Stephanie teaches Michelle to tap dance and it backfires, what Michelle is doing is not tap dancing, it's STOMPING! Join me next month when I cover that last Series of the Full House Podcast and the Series Finale! Have a great week and I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in Joey's Comedy Career Series, Full House S4E23: Joey Goes Hollywood, which aired on March 29, 1991. In this episode when Joey leaves for Los Angeles to begin filming his new television series with a prolific actor, the rest of the Tanner family decides to join him. I thought this was a good episode. Joey and the family get to meet Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Stephanie being teased about her name at school decides to change it to Dawn Ariel Tanner. Someone loves The Little Mermaid (1989) After hearing Michelle call Annette "Annette Funny-jello", I can't unhear it. Speaking of Michelle, she racks up DJ's phone bill by calling Tokyo (well hear about this city in Japan again in Season 6, Road To Tokyo) constantly since the person on the other end and her are on a first name basis. All she's doing is attempting and failing to count to 100. In Joey's "I'm Famous and a BIG Star fantasy" Kimmy is his biggest fan and she jumps on him and starts kissing his neck. I'm not okay with this scene even if it is for a funny bit in a TV Show. Join me next week when I conclude Joey's Comedy Career Journey with, Full House S5E6: The Legend of Ranger Joe, which aired on October 22, 1991. In this episode In this episode, Joey hits a string of great luck! He gets free cable, concert tickets and job interviews, he even gets a date with a hot girl, but then his luck runs short when his interview comes along. Michelle learns to tap and really annoys Stephanie, who taught her to tap. She annoys her so much that one day the shoes go missing...who do you think took them? Jesse debates what to name his twins, when they are born, and accidentally reveals to DJ that he has a secret about his past. We later find out that he got his name changed in kindergarten. Have a great week and I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in Joey's Comedy Career Journey Series with Full House S3E6: Star Search, which aired on November 3, 1989. In this episode D. J. and Steph try to teach Michelle not to go to sleep with her ballerina skirt on but Danny allows her to do it. Joey gives his comedy career a last chance and wishes a challenge in Ed McMahon's TV show 'Star Search'. I thought this was an ok episode, Joey gives himself a deadline to become famous or he did 10 years ago when an old video of him and Danny's college talk show is viewed by the whole family. Joey realizes that deadline is fast approaching for him to be famous enough to have his own TV show or at least be on Carson, Leno or Letterman. Somehow if he doesn't achieve this status of fame and success before the deadline, he'll feel like a failure in his own eyes. Never mind that his family will still love him no matter whether he meets his deadline or not. The family secretly sends a tape of Joey's funniest bits on tape to Star Search and luckily enough he gets picked to be on the show and the whole family gets to go and support him. Also mini plot, DJ and Steph give Michelle a ballerina tutu and she refuses to take it off even for bed, the girls complain to Danny and he says it's fine if she wants to wear it. That's that whole mini plot in a nutshell. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the Series, Full House S4E23: Joes Goes Hollywood, which aired on March 29, 1991. In this episode when Joey leaves for Los Angeles to begin filming his new television series with a prolific actor, the rest of the Tanner family decides to join him. Have a great weekend everyone and I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off a new Series, Joey's Comedy Career Journey Series, with Full House S1E16: But Seriously Folks, which aired on February 5, 1988. In this episode Joey's convinced that his comic debut in front of a talent scout is jinxed. I liked this episode, as it had a valuable lesson for both Joey and DJ. Joey's ready for his big night at the comedy club, with the possibility of being discovered by a talent scout from HBO looking for the next up and coming comic to give them their big break, an HBO Comedy Special. Sadly Phyllis Diller happens to be in the audience right as Joey's ready to take the stage, and boy is he upstaged since he never makes it up there and of course the audience is all laughed out once she leaves, also leaving is the HBO Talent Scout. Joey's is begging people to stay and listen to his act. It's late, they all have to get home. Joey takes this lack of an opportunity to make people laugh and maybe be discovered, hard. He quits comedy and loses the mullet which he mousses down and dons a suit to go on interviews and accepts none of the job offers. He's not the only one quitting and giving up, DJ started the band The Bracelets with Kimmy who's on keyboard (they really stick with Kimmy and the keyboard thing as the show goes on, even in Fuller House). DJ getting guitar lessons from Jesse and she gives up because she's not good at it at first, we really never come back to this because she eventually moves on to the drums in Season 2. Danny and Jesse realize that Joey needs comedy in his life and the family need Joey in theirs (the old Joey) not this "Joe" guy he keeps referring to himself as. Danny and Jesse devise a plan to take Joey down to the club and Jesse tries out Joey's act messing up Joey's jokes on purpose causing Joey to jump up on stage and take over. The HBO guy rep didn't show, but it ends up being his night because people are laughing and being entertained by his jokes. Old Joey is BACK! Joey tells DJ, don't give up on something if it doesn't come natural to you right away, keep plugging away at it until you succeed. If it's not your thing that's ok too, but at least give it some effort before moving on to something else. Join me next week when I cover Full House S3E6: Star Search, which aired on November 3, 1989. In this episode D. J. and Steph try to teach Michelle not to go to sleep with her ballerina skirt on but Danny allows her to do it. Joey gives his comedy career a last chance and wishes a challenge in Ed McMahon's TV show 'Star Search'. Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!
Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E10: TV Or Not TV, which aired on November 14, 1987. In this episode Vicki is asked to appear in a cereal commercial. I thought this episode was good. Harriet being a pest as always. Ted, and Joan acting as over the top stage parents with their demands for Vicki's future as an actress, trying to scare away the TV Commercial Guy to keep him from using the footage of Vicki eating their crap unhealthy cereal for a commercial. Vicki again wearing this Marilyn Monroe wig and outfit. This is gross, someone on the writing staff has an unhealthy fetish. Making a child dress like a grown ass woman. Join me next month for S3E11: The Fats of Life, which aired on November 21, 1987. In this episode Vicki literally balloons after Ted unwittingly upgrades her energy-supplementing polynucleotide processor with an appetite, which creates excess digestive gases and causes her a date issue for the school dance.
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the last episode in the Jesse and Joey's Career Duo Journey Series, Full House S6E4: Radio Days, which aired on October 13, 1992. In this episode Jesse and Joey are offered a job as Radio DJs. Jesse and Joey partnered in advertising back in Season 2 through 4, then for Season 5 they decided to each focus on their own careers, Jesse and his music and Joey with his comedy. Now in Season 6 and through out the rest of the shows run they are DJ Hosts better known as the Rush Hour Renegades. I thought this was a fun episode, a step up for Jesse and Joey getting themselves out there and heard all over San Francisco. We also see the last of Joey and The Ranger Joe Show as he can't stand his new co-host Jungle Jenny who also happens to be his boss's wife, she humiliates him in front of the kids and he ends up giving his boss an ultimatum, either she goes or I go and of course he picks his wife. Stephanie, trying to come up with a topic for her creative writing assignment, wreaks havoc on DJ and Steve's relationship with she creates a fake love letter to DJ from Henry her Macaroni Man. Luckily for them Danny looks over Steph's paper and discovers similarities between her characters and the topic of DJ and Steve's fight. They turn the tables on Stephanie by having DJ and Steve pretending to want to get married and Danny being cool with it, to Steph's horror and then Danny tells her it's not right to mess up people's relationships because she can't come up with something to write about. Join me in November for a new Series of Episodes! Have a great weekend! Hope you enjoy the podcast!
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I continue my coverage of the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Journey Series, Full House S4E3: The I.Q. Man, which aired on October 5, 1990. In this episode Jesse and Joey's latest client asks them to compromise their morals while shooting a commercial. I thought this was a good episode, we see the last of Mr. Malatesta (Jesse & Joey's Boss), who thinks it's fine that the woman in charge of the company they're shooting a commercial for is basically sexually harassing Jesse. He pretty much tells Jesse do it or you're fired. Jesse is beyond uncomfortable with this woman and decides he can't do the commercial for IQ a men's cologne. Changes up their commercial set from a library with him wearing a smoking jacket and to a shower set with him wearing only a towel. You're selling cologne! Apparently it also comes in the form of roll-on deodorant. This episode is the birth of J & J Creative Services (a production company) which Jesse and Joey start with the help of Danny's financial backing. D.J. and Kimmy (mostly D.J.) host their school's Career Day with Becky and Danny jumping in last minute. Unfortunately everyone there has Connie Chung Mania from a rumor saying she was going to be there for her nephew Jimmy Chung (not his last name) we later find out. Steph's got a sinus cold and ends up making Michelle who was taking care of her sick in the end. Join me3 next week for the last episode in the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Series Full House S6E4: Radio Days, which aired on October 13, 1992. In this episode Jesse and Joey are offered a job as radio DJs. I hope you enjoy the episode and have a great weekend!
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen, here the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Series), Full House S2E13: Working Mothers, which aired on February 3, 1989. In this episode after Jesse and Joey are offered full time jobs at an ad agency, they struggle to decide if they can do the job and still be moms to the girls. I thought this was a good episode, Jesse and Joey win over a big client for their boss with an amazing advertising pitch complete with Joey wearing many hats and playing different characters with a jingle for Hurry Mart, so catchy. On the spot their boss gives them full time positions, it's all great until DJ and Stephanie wonder who will take care of them if all three of the guys are working. News Flash, they're working while you're in school, you'll see them in the evening. Good grief. The girls (DJ and Steph) act like they're becoming latchkey kids (which for some reason was the worst thing to be in the 80's and 90's by their attitude), I was a 90's latchkey kid from age 11 onward, it wasn't a big deal. The show Small Wonder did an episode about it. In the end the girls make the guys feel so guilty, they ask their boss if they can just work from home. He's cool with it. Michelle has developed a habit of locking people out of the house and a balcony in this episode. Self locking doors not a good thing. Join me next week when I cover the next episode Full House S4E3: The I.Q. Man, which aired on October 5, 1990. In this episode Jesse and Joey's latest client asks them to compromise their morals while shooting a commercial. Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the podcast episode!
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the new Series, Jesse and Joey Career Duo Journey with Full House S2E5: Jingle Hell, which aired on November 11, 1988. In this episode Jesse and Joey start working together, while D.J. and Stephanie fight because Stephanie breaks some of D.J.'s stuff. I really enjoyed this episode, seeing the beginning Jesse and Joey's work partnership which would eventually lead them to venturing out on their own as independent advertisers and the birth of their company J&J Creative Services. Stephanie has been getting in DJ's craw as of late and she's had enough. She vows to get her back and does so rather creatively by tying Stephanie entire shoe collection together so it's like a train of shoes. Jesse and Joey learn that in order to be successful as partners they have to work together and listen to one other. A partnership can't work if one person is calling the shots and the other is simply a follower and allowed no creative input. And finally the family can say goodbye to changing diapers because Michelle is potty-trained, well goodbye at least until the twins arrive in 3 years. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the Series, S2E13: Working Mothers, which aired on February 3, 1989. After Jesse and Joey are offered full time jobs at an ad agency, they struggle to decide if they can do the job and still be moms to the girls. Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the episode!
Hey Everyone. Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E9: The Bad Seed, which aired on November 7, 1987. In this episode, Ted builds a more advanced robot, but his plans to scrap Vicki are halted when the new model refuses to obey orders. I have been lookin forward to this episode for a while, every since I started Season 3 this year. This episode did not disappoint. I gotta give a hand to Tiffany Brisette, she did an amazing job playing Vanessa. She must have been happy not to have to use the robot voice for at least an episode. The scene were Vanessa she rips Joan's dress off of her, I wasn't ready for that. WOW! Never give a robot free will, it will take that power to the extreme and take over the family much like Vanessa did in this episode. Join me next month for S3E10: TV or Not TV, which aired on November 14, 1987. In this episode Vicki is asked to appear in a cereal commercial. See you in October!
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast, Today, I'm covering the last episode in the Best Friends Series, Full House S4E5: Good News, Bad News, which aired on October 19, 1990. In this episode DJ becomes editor of the school newspaper and faces backlash when she appoints Kimmy to a position for which she is unqualified. This was a fun and cute episode. DJ having been made the editor of the school paper, Kimmy jumps at the opportunity to work along side her best friend, however the only (I find this so hard to believe)position left on the paper was Sports Editor. There were a few boys there including Jake Bitterman (this is his last appearance on the show), we know that Jake wanted that position instead he got, copying the lunch menu. Whoopee! (NOT). After Kimmy's failed attempt at covering the school basketball team game (all she writes about is Robby Hudson the equipment manager, she doesn't even mention who won the game). DJ demands she write it again, Kimmy reuses and they fight, ending their friendship. They aren't the only ones fighting, Becky and Danny can barely get through the taping of their commercial for the show (that Jesse and Joey are shooting and directing) without snipping and glaring at each other. Pointing out the other's faults. Michelle annoys Stephanie to no end with the Shadow Game, which basically consists of repeating anything the other person says until they scream and runaway. Luckily for the girls along with Danny and Becky they are able to see past their squabbling and realize how immature they're being and make up with each other. Have a great month and I'll see you in October with a new Series of episodes,
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Best Friends Series, Full House S3E9: Dr. Dare Rides Again, which aired on November 24, 1989. In this episode Comet, the family's new dog gets his name as well as eats Michelle's ice cream. Michelle can't get over this, she'll tell it to anyone who will listen including Jesse's old school friend Pete. He and Jesse had a band back in high school "Feedback" and have a house party band reunion while Danny and Becky are in L.A. How many bands did Jesse have in high school, because in Season 4, he was also part of the band Discipline Problem. Also Danny and Becky are away on a talk show styling trip Fashion Expo '90 where they both get make overs. . Pete's carefree ways and single lifestyle start to rouse in Jesse how his life used to be before moving into the house and also before Becky. Little does Jesse know that Pete is a little envious of what Jesse has. A family and a stable relationship, a place to call home. All of Pete's ribbing gets to Jesse who tries to keep up with Pete's wild lifestyle which eventually lands Jesse on the edge of a building trying to recreate a stunt with his motorcycle he preformed years ago. When Pete realizes Jesse does not plan to back down from this dare, he realizes he pushed Jesse too far. Pete and the family help Jesse to realize the risk he's taking, before it's too late. I hope for Pete maybe he will find someone to settle down with, because I think he secretly wants that for himself. What worked in your 20's won't necessarily work in your 40's. Some things don't carry over. Join me next week when I cover S4E5 :Good News, Bad News, which aired on October 19, 1990. In this episode DJ becomes editor of the school newspaper and faces backlash when she appoints Kimmy to a position for which she is unqualified. Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the episode.
Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the Best Friends Series with Full House S2E15: Pal Joey, which aired on February 17,1989. In this episode Joey and Danny recall the day they first met. I loved this episode, it was so cute. Especially seeing how Danny and Joey met, the kids they got to play them are absolutely adorable. The young man who played Danny, Phillip Glasser, I got the chance to meet him last Summer. He was so cool. He also voiced Fievel from An American Tail as well as the sequel and the short lived television series in the early 90's. Danny gets jealous of all the time that Joey and Jesse are spending together since they've become partners in advertising and Danny feels he's being edged out of Joey's life as his best friend. Danny was being so immature and Joey calls him on it and Danny decides since Joey can't read his mind and understand the reason he's upset than Joey and he never should have been friends to begin with. Good grief, Danny! Total Throwback Episode! So much unnecessary drama! Speaking of unnecessary drama, the side plot with Stephanie, Harry and DJ. Weird Love Triangle (at least from Steph's POV). DJ teaches Harry how to subtract and all of a sudden he's in love with her. Poor Steph is heartbroken. It's another switching rooms for an episode scenario. How it goes unnoticed with three adults in the house, only the writers can answer that question. It's up to Jesse and DJ to bring Steph and Harry back together. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the series, Full House S3E9: Dr. Dare Rides Again, which aired on November 24, 1989. In this episode Comet, the family's new dog, eats Michelle's ice cream. Pete is an old pal that Jesse once knew. He visits the family when Danny and Becky are away on a talk show styling trip. 'Feedback' and some of Jesse's old ways pop up. Have a great week everyone!
Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder POdcast. Today, I covered S3E8: The Lawsonville Horror, which aired on October 31, 1987. In this episode an electrocuted Vicki behaves as though possessed. This was a fun and creative episode. I liked whatever effects they used. Also Richard Christie (Ted Lawson) wrote this episode. Join me next month when I cover my most anticipated episode of Season 3, S3E9: The Bad Seed, which aired on November 7, 1987. In this episode Ted builds a more advanced robot, but his plans to scrap Vicki are halted when the new model refuses to obey orders. Have a great day everyone, see you in September.
Happy Full House Day Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm covering Full House S8E8: Claire and Present Danger, which aired on November 22, 1994. In this episode Danny asks the mother of Stephanie's friend Gia out on a date--causing Michelle to rebel. Joey is surprised when the French woman he asked out on a date arrives with her husband. Jesse is nervous about his first appearance with his new band. I thought this was an ok episode, not once I watch on repeat. Jesse's band outfit for his performance, yuck! He's trying to make a comeback with his new band, Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. DJ and Viper, I will never support them as a couple. He's too old for her and doesn't treat her right (spoiler alert: he breaks up with her in DJ's Choice because their relationship is moving too fast for him and then attempts to win her back through song. Michelle could have just told Stephanie what she was feeling about being left out when Steph and Gia were actually all excited at the thought of being sisters if Danny and Claire got married. Instead she dresses like a biker girl and insults Claire. She ends up looking and acting like a brat. Joey's being a doofus, when he meets a beautiful French woman who happens to be married, but since Joey doesn't know a word of French, he assumes Marie is another woman and he's going on a triple date. Yikes! Have a great week everyone, I hope you enjoy the podcast episode! To EMAIL The Podcast GOTO: omhcfhfhpodcast@gmail.com
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the month of AUGUST with the last ever SISTERS Double Feature with, Full House S7E10: The Prying Game, which aired on November 16, 1993. In this episode Stephanie and Kimmy resort to snooping around Steve's apartment when they suspect that he's cheating on DJ with another girl. Meanwhile, Jesse, Joey, and Danny tape an infomercial to sell a hair care accessory that Jesse invented, which ends in chaos. This episode was ok for me. Stephanie's nosiness finally catches up to her when she suspects Steve of cheating on DJ. Steve's relationship with his cousin is just too familiar and honestly uncomfortable to watch. Any stranger who stubbles upon them in the library would probably assume their dating, when he asks "what are you making for dinner tonight" She replies "pasta romantico". Then she touches his arm and she kisses him on the cheek. Which is super weird. I don't know any cousins that do that, not mine, that I can think of. To each their own, I guess. Stephanie having no idea that Evie or Edie whatever her name is, is Steve's cousin and rather than flatout tell DJ what she saw, she wants to be sure, so she invites Kimmy for a stakeout to Steve's apartment. Apparently Kimmy has a knack for breaking into places, because she used that card like she's done it before. They find out the truth about Steve's cousin after Steve and DJ come back from an almost date and Evie/Edie is there and he introduces her to DJ. A shocking blow to Steph and Kimmy who are hiding behind Steve's fish tank. They try to sneak out but get caught, Kimmy admitting to stealing a bag of M&M's is hilarious to me. DJ tells Steph to stay out of her life. When Stephanie tries to explain to DJ why she did it, eventually DJ comes around and forgives her. The side plot, Spray Guard 2001. I couldn't stop thinking about the Nimbus 2000 from Harry Potter. While the hairspray shield is a good idea, someone claiming they invented it first, just over the phone, while the guys are filming their infomercial, is just a tad suspicious. I'd be like "ok, prove it" The guy's don't want to be sued, so they nix the idea. Join me later this month when I cover Full House S8E8: Claire and Present Danger, (I don't get it, the title makes no sense, I mean, sure her name is Claire, but where's the danger),which aired on November 22, 1994. In this episode Danny asks the mother of Stephanie's friend Gia out on a date--causing Michelle to rebel. Joey is surprised when the French woman he asked out on a date arrives with her husband. Jesse is nervous about his first appearance with his new band. Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode! To EMAIL The PODCAST: omhcfhfhpodcast@gmail.com
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, we conclude Jesse's Musical Career Journey Series, with Full House S8E7: On The Road Again, which aired on November 8, 1994. In this episode when Danny finds out that D.J. is secretly dating the guitarist in Jesse's new band, Danny forbids her to continue. I was not a fan of this episode and really don't like the music that Jesse makes with his new band Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. Not to mention the outfits or style he's going for with this new band is utterly atrocious. Absolutely can't stand Viper, he's wrong for DJ, and it's not just because he's not Steve. He seems so much older than DJ, I mean she's still in high school, even though Steve was in college when DJ and he broke up. He's too wild, and (spoiler alert) he actually breaks up with her when he feels things are going too fast for him. Jesse realizes his wild days are behind him when he takes Becky and the boys on a gig with him. He wants to relive his glory days (pre-Becky and the boys) days of rock n' roll that he had with the Rippers in 1987. He checks the band along with Becky and the boys into a grungy, moldy, outdated motel, that is so bad, it would make Norman Bates, inwardly cringe. Times have changed and so has he. He makes so many "I'm an old man" jokes, it gets old real quick. I'm like "dude, you're not even 30 yet", he complains more about his age in this episode than he does in Fuller House, claiming he's still got it, for someone in his 50's. Jesse and the band are in for a shock when he meets the owner of the club who is expecting Big Poppa and the Polka Puppies, not Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. I couldn't help but picture golden retriever puppies dressed in lederhosen and barking in time to a polka song. Danny has a change of heart about Viper dating DJ when Viper steps up to help out Jesse (who fired him for dating DJ)when he is ordered to play polka music or vacate the venue. Turns out Viper was Tiny Hines in Big Hines and the Polka Dots as a kid. Jesse and the band don polka outfits and polka instruments and perform KISS's song "I Wanna Rock n' Roll All Night" Polka Style. Stephanie and Michelle try to figure out which of the Monkey Puppets that DJ is dating they see her talking to Mongo and assume she's with him. Umm, kids, Mongo is like 35 years old, that's gross. In fact that's just as or more so upsetting as her dating Viper. Mongo's like Danny's age. I hope you enjoy the podcast episode and have a great weekend! See you in August!

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E7: The Promotion, which aired on October 24, 1987. In this episode to win a promotion over Brandon's boss fawning, Ted decides to reveal Vicki's robot secret to his boss at a company picnic unaware that Brandon is out to sabotage Ted's effort. As far as episodes go this one was really lackluster, and Brandon Brindle being there only made it worse. Ted wanting to reveal Vicki's a robot to his boss for a promotion, I don't know just feels wrong some how or not the right time. Turns out (spoiler alert) he doesn't get the promotion, Brandon does, and it's a good thing because apparently the promotion is for a robotics management position in Iceland. Jamie disappears to the kissing booth at the company picnic for most of the episode and shows up towards the end with lipstick prints all over his face. We never see the girl running the kissing booth, but according to Jamie she's a fox. How many times has Harriet explained to Vicki how to throw a tantrum? I've lost count as this point. You would think that Ted would have programmed Vicki with a voice recognition that way she only can be programed or reprogramed to take orders from the Lawsons and not just anyone. Think about that, Ted. I'm most excitedly for next month's episode S3E8: The Lawsonville Horror, which aired on October 31, 1987. In this episode an electrocuted Vicki behaves as though possessed. Have a great week and check out the episode on Youtube. All the episodes of Small Wonder are on it.
Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Jesse's Musical Career Journey Series with, Full House S6E3: Road To Tokyo, which aired on October 6, 1992. In this episode Jesse performs in Tokyo, where his single tops charts. I enjoyed this episode. Jesse's finally seeing his dreams come true (as true for him as they can get at this point). He takes it a little too far in the Rockstar department and Becky has to pull him back into reality after Jesse starts demanding his snacks be a certain flavor, it goes like this, Koji, Jesse's assistant who is assigned to Jesse's every need while he's on tour in Tokyo, Jesse is impressed with his dressing room, complete with, banners, flower arrangements and fruit baskets, but most importantly, the cashews. However, he discovers they are salted, can't have that. So, Koji goes out of the dressing room, fighting off the crowd of crazed fans gathering outside, he finally returns with un-salted cashews, but, OH NO! Jesse now wants honey roasted cashews because he had them on the plane ride over. Becky chastises him for being so picky, but he's got no time for that he's on a schedule thanks to Nancy who's the head of Fat Fish music in Tokyo. He's got a signing, a photo session, press tour, he's even christening a bullet train. Becky fumes at this, when she finds out there is no time on Jesse's schedule for family time with her and the boys. Uh Becky, Fat Fish didn't fly you out to Tokyo for a family vacation, they're paying him to promote his new hit single, which Japan has fallen in love with. They love it so much that Nancy tells Becky, Fat Fish wants Jesse to Tour Asia for the next year. Jesse's flying high on stardom and agrees to it right away, and Becky looses it, kicks out the press and tells Jesse's he's lost sight of his priorities and even himself. She walks out and Jesse realizes that fame isn't all it's worth without the support of his family. The Rippers who are there too, never learn of this tour of Asia, since Jesse tells Koji he's done and heading back home to San Francisco. Funny scene to me, when Jesse attempts to sing "Help Me Ronda" in Japanese (via Koji and some que cards, which ends up getting knocked out of his hands) Jesse has to wing it and just starts saying references to Japan like Karate Kid Part 2, Godzilla, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda. Join me next week when I cover the final episode in Jesse's Musical Career Journey Series, Full House S8E7: On The Road Again, which aired on November 8, 1994. In this episode when Danny finds out that D.J. is secretly dating the guitarist in Jesse's new band, Danny forbids her to continue. Have a great weekend and enjoy the podcast!
