The first episode aired on September 22, 1987 and the last aired on May 23, 1995. The show aired a total of 8 seasons and 192 episodes. The series was created and produced by Jeff Franklin, along with Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett. Jeff Franklin has written many other shows, but is best known for the TV series Full House. While the show's first season was not as successful because it was a new series, the show quickly gained popularity during its second season. The show remained in the top 25, however, ABC announced that the show would be canceled after eight seasons. With the increasing costs of producing the show, it was cut after running for eight years. The final episode of the series was watched by 24.3 million viewers and was ranked at number 7 for a week!
Although the show is no longer releasing new episodes, there is no reason to be sad. The beloved '90s sitcom is not completely gone as it appears on Nick at Nite with reruns. Are you getting tired of seeing the same episode about five times or enough to recite the whole script back to your television screen? Be prepared because the popular series may be returning to your TV. It is rumored that Warner Bros, Television is considering a series reboot with some of the original cast. The show may be in production for a Full House revival series that will follow the adult lives of Stephanie, DJ and Kimmy. Be sure to stay tuned!
Here are a few fun facts that you may not have known about the show:
-The show was originally going to be called House of Comics, following three comedians who lived together.
-Although it was set in San Francisco, only one of the episodes was actually taped there. It is actually taped in Los Angeles, with an exception of a few episodes.
-The Full House set was later used to tape Friends (another one of my favorite shows).
-Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appear together on screen 4 times in the show.
