Full House: S8E16: Air Jesse (The Not So Great of Season 8 (IMO) Series)

Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast and Together We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm continuing The Not So Great Of Season 8 (IMO) Series with S8E16: Air Jesse, which aired on February 7, 1995. In this episode, after being recruited by D.J. to play in a charity basketball game, Jesse gets tips from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jesse CANNOT make a basket and knows nothing about basketball. What the heck! He played 2 on 2 with Danny, Joey, and Cousin Steve in Season 1. Did 7 years of knowing how to play just disappear? Kareem takes pity on Jesse, because apparently if you're a grown man you should automatically know how to play basketball. No way Nick Katsopolis wouldn't have taught his son how to play, he knows about baseball. He would know about this sport too. Jesse finds his magic sweet spot on the court that guarantees a basket every time the ball comes near it. He just wants his son's to be proud of him. Newsflash they already are, because you're their dad. Also in this episode as a side plot Stephanie makes a horrendous looking blouse in Home Ec and gives it to Becky after she assumes Becky loves it. This blouse is a hodge podge nightmare come to life, multiple buttons of various sizes here, there and everywhere. No article of clothing needs that many buttons. EVER! Becky trying to spare Steph's feelings with her honest opinion wears the blouse out of guilt to a charity basketball game (which Jesse and the boys are playing in) when a reporter/fan/stalker of Becky shows up to snap a photo for her scrap book or which ever paper she claims to work for, Becky's true feelings about the blouse come out when Becky realizes her picture wearing the blouse with be on every door step in San Francisco, I mean she's a co host of Wake Up San Francisco, she has an image to project and protect, viewers only see her in blazers and matching slacks or dresses, top of the line WUS approved apparel, heaven forbid she wear something that screams fashion police nightmare outside of work. Kimmy still 7 years later (See Season 1 Just One of The Guys Season 1 for example) cannot keep her hands off the players butts (she's their coach) apparently both DJ and Kimmy are hosting this basketball charity event to raise money for a cause of some kind. Crazy pants episode for sure. Join me next week when I cover the last episode in this Series, Full House S8E20: Up On The Roof, which aired on March 14, 1995. In this episode D.J., wanting to do an elaborate senior prank, lifts her principal's car onto the roof of the school using a crane; Becky offers to teach Michelle to cook. Have a great week everyone! I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!
