Full House is an American television sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC from 1987 to 1995. It aired a total of 192 episodes across eight seasons. It was a launching pad in a career for former child stars, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Olsen Twins.

Danny Tanner, a recently widow father of three daughters (D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle), enlists the help of his brother-in-law, Jesse Katsopolis, and childhood best friend, Joey Gladstone (played by Dave Coulier), to assist in raising them. Joey is a rising comedian and fan of cartoons such as those produced by Hanna-Barbera and Looney Tunes, being able to perform several of the voices himself.

From 2016 to 2020, Netflix streamed the sequel series, Fuller House, which ran for five seasons.
