Full House: S4E6: A Pinch For A Pinch (Back To School Double Feature)

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 S4E6: A Pinch for a Pinch, which aired on October 26, 1990. In this episode, Jesse gives Michelle bad advice on how to handle a bully. Also Stephanie takes her horoscope reading a little to seriously as her predictions according to Madame Kimmy start to coincidently come true. Joey's breakfast of a candy apple comes back to bite him in a bad way after his filling is pulled out and he ends up having to get a root canal. GAH! Actually now that I think about it, Jesse's advice in both this episode and Nerd For A Day both backfire for Stephanie and Michelle. Stephanie gets a classmate's unrequited affections forced on her and Michelle lands in time out and is yanked out of school all thanks to Jesse. I have so many things to say about this classroom scene and how this teacher should have been reprimanding Aaron from the start. Granted this is just the beginning of the Jesse/Aaron Bailey antagonizing banter we all come to love as the series goes on. Aaron's jabs just keep cutting Jesse deeper and deeper and we ending laughing harder and harder. Here's the question I pose to you: If Joey had been the volunteer and this happened how do you think he would have handled it? Granted Jesse did go into this volunteer thing with a defeatist attitude of "I don't wanna be here, or actually have to do anything" and I think the kids just fed off his negative energy. But you've gotta admit this isn't as bad as when Jesse pulled out Nicky and Alex from preschool because they wouldn't kiss him goodbye and he decided they weren't ready when really he wasn't ready to let them go. Join me later this month when I cover in honor of Elias Harger's (Max Fuller)Birthday, Fuller House S5E14: Basic Training, which aired on June 2, 1990. In this episode, Max skips a grade and starts middle school. Ramona trains to defeat the reigning champ of a high-stakes sandwich-eating contest. Have a great weekend everyone!
