Full House was a television sitcom that ran on the ABC network from 1987 until 1995. It was produced by Jeff Franklin Productions, in association with Miller-Boyett Productions and Lorimar Television (which was subsequently bought by Warner Bros.) and distributed by Warner Bros. Television.
The theme song, "Everywhere You Look," was performed by Jesse Frederick and co-written by him and Bennett Salvay.
The premise of the show, as established in the first episode, involves a recently widowed San Francisco sportscaster (later television talk show host) Danny Tanner who is left to raise his three young daughters (Donna Jo "D.J.", Stephanie Judith and baby Michelle Elizabeth) following the death of his wife, Pam, in a car accident involving a drunk driver. The family lives at 1882 Gerard Street, and their phone number is 555-2424. He recruits his best friend from college, Joey Gladstone, and his late wife's younger brother, Jesse, to help him take care of his girls. Many of the show's exploits surrounded the idea of three "swinging" bachelors trying to rein in the precocious antics of three little girls, who frequently got the best of them. Joey makes a living primarily as a stand-up comedian, Jesse as a struggling musician who originally pays the bills working for his father's exterminating company. Eventually, Danny becomes the co-host of the morning talk show "Wake Up, San Francisco" alongside Rebecca Donaldson, who begins dating Jesse. They marry and have twin sons, Nicholas and Alexander (better known as Nicky and Alex). The girls grow up considerably as the series goes on, and often argue and clash as only sisters do. The expanded family all live together in the same "full" house. To quote the theme song, "Whatever happened to predictability?"
The show survived extremely critical reviews during its first season, based on the series core as a form of family entertainment. Many disliked how it lacked story content for older audiences. Although it would maintain its very family friendly material for the entire series, criticisms eventually became much less intense.
