Full House: S2E1: Cutting It Close (In Honor Of John Stamos's "Uncle Jesse" Birthday)

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I have a Full House birthday dedicated episode to deliver to a Full House Cast member and of course that person is John Stamos who played "Uncle Jesse" or Jesse Katsopolis. To celebrate I've chosen Full House S2E1: Cutting It Close, which aired on October 14, 1988. In this episode after a pretend haircut gone wrong and a motorcycle accident that leaves Jesse with two broken arms, Stephanie is convinced she's a jinx. I really thought Jodie Sweetin knocked it out of the park with her emotions this episode. She never fails to deliver when it comes to these type of scenes. I really felt her anxiety over thinking Jesse's motorcycle accident was her fault due to the cause and effect fallout of the pretend haircut gone wrong. I felt so bad for her, and to be honest had no sympathy for Jesse due to his attitude. I get it, it's fine to feel angry, but what's not ok, is to blame a child for your own actions, Stephanie didn't cause the accident, Jesse's anger lead to that decision. I get we all make mistakes, even costly ones, and sometimes out of anger is when we make our worst mistakes. Luckily and because this is a sitcom there are no lasting lingering trauma effects that Stephanie has to fight to overcome and her relationship with Uncle Jesse is as rock solid as ever. One last thing about this episode, Danny and DJ kept telling Stephanie that Uncle Jesse's accident wasn't her fault, but honestly the only one that would help set her free of the guilt she was feeling was by Jesse saying those words to her. Join me this Friday when i cover the third entry in the Full House Animal Antics S6E21: Room For One More, which aired on April 6, 1993. In this episode Jesse discusses with Becky the possibility of having another baby, but he finds out he already has his hands full when one of the twins is sick, Joey's injured and Danny and the kids help with the radio show run from home while baby-sitting a neighbor's pet pig. Also in this episode we meet Scruffy the pot bellied pig. Have a great week everyone and please stay safe!
