Full House is a television sitcom that ran on ABC from 1987 until 1995.

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 (D.J., Stephanie Judith and baby Michelle Elizabeth) following the death of his wife, Pam, in a car accident. He recruits his late wife's brother, Jesse Katsopolis, and his best friend, Joey Gladstone, 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 soon begins dating Jesse. They marry and have twin sons, 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.

Repeats of Full House aired on NBC's daytime line-up during the summer of 1991.

In August 2014, it was announced that Full House would be making a comeback to TV, with some of the original cast members reprising their roles. Creator Jeff Franklin was set to write the project and Stamos was set to produce. On April 1, 2015, TVLine reported that the revived project would be named Fuller House, which premiered on Netflix on February 26, 2016. It stars original cast members Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, reprising their roles as D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy.
