You were missed. :-*

I really missed my JD fix over the past few days. Welcome back! :D
-
Having lost both of my sites for a couple days due to server issues, I can definitely understand how frustrating something like that is. Glad to see JD back on the air.

You don't know what you 've got till it's gone... Happy you're back!

...and just in time, since my methadone prescription has NO refills. :-X

Let's all break into song; "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone..."

What all'd you guys do during the downtime?
I went out and bought Full House: The Complete Series Collection on DVD, and went through it, like, twice.

Is life that boring for you? I think I was 12 when I was into this show.

Yes, it is.

It's still every bit as good today as it was back then.

I had to do some homework. It was harsh. :'(

I admit work was a little more boring without the site.

agreed - in fact, i think the show is a lot more enjoyable now then when i was younger. it's a lot more subtle and nuanced than is commonly believed, especially in regards to, say, Andrea Barber's performance as Kimmy Gibler - a lot of really amazing undertones there. she brought it all together. i'm sure it's a matter of time before she's sitting across the stage from James Lipton. bottom line: it's not as straightforward a program as people assume.

Lance Armstrong has probably gone through Ashley Olsen at least twice by now!

Beautifully put. Beautifully put. And you're exactly right: On the surface, it's still the same show it always was. But if you really start to dig into it, you'll see that it's got this dark, seedy underbelly thing happening. It's kind of like those ****** Magic Eye 3D paintings that were all the rage in the mid-90's in that it works on multiple levels. And once it hits you, it ups the rewatchability factor exponentially.
People always said that this show was a "family-friendly situation-comedy", whatever that means, but to me, it's more of a "family-friendly situation-tragedy," than anything else. And that's what keeps me coming back for more.

All these years later, and this still hurts.

well yeah, i mean, let's look at the core: the entire premise of the show is predicated by a horrific tragedy: a young, happy couple, parents of three young girls (one an infant, for Christ's sake) is violently TORN apart by a gruesome and horrible accident, killing the mother instantly, leaving behind only memories and apparently one video tape of happier times past. all the good times and tender moments that followed often overshadowed that shocking event that got the show off and running, yet, even though few episodes dealt with the topic specifically, it was always abstractly veiled in each of the plots that the show thereafter. it was a beautiful take on the underbelly of the nuclear family, an exposé on the truth of life. i'm reminded of the words of John Keats: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." i think the Tanners couldn't have said it any better.
plus there was a woodchuck puppet.

Everywhere You Look
What ever happened to predictibility?
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.
There's a face
Of somebody who needs you.
Eveywhere you look,
When you're lost out there and you're all alone,
A light is waiting to carry you home,
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look.

Hey guys, I'm still having issues logging on to JD from my home computer. Anyone else still having issues? Any ideas on what I can try. Right now I'm having to log on using my work computer. Please help!!!
-
It's beautiful that we can celebrate both the return of Jedidefender and the life and works of the late Dave Coulier in the same thread.

there's actually more lyrics than that, FG; that's just the bastardized rerun version of the theme. you are sharp to point this song out, however: the lyrics as well help to convey that sense of loss that the show epitomizes (what DID ever happen to predictability?) and the questioning insecurity that life incurs upon us all, yet it still manages to be hopeful and grand, a glorious celebration of those lifelong questions and the hopeful optimism that only a true understanding of the waning and waxing that the human experience challenges each and every one of us with each day can provide. it's truly a masterpiece of songwriting and lyricism, and only a show like Full House is worthy of such an anthem. ba-shoopida-ba-ba-dowwww.

I didn't realize how often I check the front page for news here. I missed it. :o I missed lurking on these forums too. I went over to Rebelscum even, like I bet a lot of people did. That sucked.

My condolences....
I cannot stand that show. To this day, my wife watches whenever it comes on TV, and I simply stand up & walk out of the room. I used to watch the show from time to time when it was on Primetime on ABC, but as I grew older, I hated the cheese of that show. It broke down to become the Olsen Show.
The tragedy in the show that you guys speak of peeks my interest, but then I can't remember one episode dealing with that trajedy. Everyone was so gay (the happy definition) except for the predicatable "noe care about me..." misunderstanding. Before reading this, I couldn't have even told you what happened to the mother. All I remember are some of the fakest characters ever on TV. It was a family-friendly show, but should have come with a warning label for all the cheese layered on top of it.

Is he dead? IIRC he was on the Surreal Life a few years back.
-
He was but couldn't finish the season.
-
I thought he died like 4 years ago :-[
-
Can we please stop talking about Dave Coulier, people?
It may have been over four years now, but it still hurts like it was just yesterday.
Thank you.
-

You're close.
He appeared (briefly) on the third season of the Surreal Life (2004).

Jim Ward killed Dave Coulier

you sir, are clearly not a lover of the arts. for shame.

Jim Ward killed Dave Coulier
For the win.

I've been in the middle of travelling out to California for training and haven't had a chance to get online until now. I barely noticed the outage! :o
-
To think that Dave did voices for the Jetsons way back in the 60s! Wow!
Don't forget his appearance on Skating with the Stars!

No way!
...And now he's dead? What a world :-\

He's not dead guys. From his Wiki page:
In 2007, Coulier founded Clean Guys TV, a kid-friendly comedy website featuring videos created by Coulier and submitted by fans.
The way his career is going, he might as well fall off a cliff. But let's remember Coulier for inspiring a great song!

You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you **** her
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Yeah, Wikipedia...real reliable. ::)

He's dead...as dead as Fred "ReRun" Berry :-\
-
He's not dead guys. From his Wiki page:
I only wish that were so.
-
May he rest in peace, playing board games with Re-run and Rod Roddy, and listening to live (no pun intended :'( ) music from Lee Greenwood.
-
Why do people always forget about Marmaduke?
He died the grisliest death of all.

I believe.

oh man, why you gotta bring in Rod? let the poor man rest.

Bob Saget was remembering great Coulier stories on Stern one day... Commemorating his death of course. How he used to pull his balls out through his zipper hole, and pretend he caught his dick in his zipper. The guy was a comedic legend...
A fitting tribute on the Stern show I believe. RIP.
