I decided to remove that from the plot (diff) as both trivia and undue weight. This is a detail about the car accident that killed Pam which is not revealed until episode 178 in season 8 ("Under the Influence") when DJ needs to tell Kimmy about what happened to her mom and doesn't want to see her best friend be killed as a result of alcohol. Pam's being killed by a drunk driver is mentioned only once in the entire series, and doesn't need to be given spotlight in the series' plot. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I agree – if it's just mentioned once, it's not an important plot detail, and should be left out. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:10, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at the trivia section for the "Under the Influence" episode in the Wikia for this show, I'm scratching my head as to the relevance of the detail that Pam was "killed in a car accident", another detail that is not revealed until a bit into the series - (well into season 2, quoting the Wikia page - In "Goodbye Mr. Bear", it was told that Pam had succumbed to injuries sustained in a car accident...). I take Wikia with a grain of salt, but (since I have the DVDs for the entire series) I could take a look at every episode up to that season 2 one to see if any mention of "car accident" is made. Regardless, the series doesn't put a lot of emphasis on that point every time Pam is referenced, and it may be better to start the plot with "After the death of his wife Pam, sports anchorman Danny Tanner..." (if I recall right, that was how it was originally worded in old revisions here). Given that Full House is a sitcom, I definitely understand the producers not wanting to focus a whole lot on the circumstances of Pam's death, but "car accident" and "drunk driver" seem to be more trivial details for this series than for, say, Party of Five (which is a drama series), where there was a whole season one episode devoted to the Salinger children confronting the driver who killed their parents. Thoughts? MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:07, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, agreed. On this series, the salient fact is her death, not the details of the circumstances of her death. Save that for the wikia – this series isn't Party of Five. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:43, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@MPFitz1968: DJ saying "Mom was killed by a drunk driver" is like "Poochie died on the way back to his home planet" - it comes out of nowhere, means nothing, and is never referred to outside that episode. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 18:17, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's why it's in the trivia section (on Wikia) -- and doesn't really belong on WP. --Musdan77 (talk) 21:23, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think they were referring to shows such as The Upper Hand (TV series) which was a remake of Who's the Boss?. It would have been hard to translate Full House into a British setting as the original show is very U.S. and very Californian in its style and substance. I don't think three men raising three young female children would have worked in Britain at that time either, particularly once things like Robert Black start a fearful panic among parents.

Such as this: "Jodie Sweetin was spotted in a guest spot on the show Valerie."

I'll be nice and not point out that that guest spot was BEFORE she was on Full House, yet the way it's worded makes the reader think she got it BECAUSE of her Full House fame. PAustin4thApril1980 (talk) 05:45, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone happen to remember when the first stereo broadcasts began? Maybe it was Season 4 (1991) or Season 5 (1992) or earlier Moonlightfocus (talk) 10:30, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Season 4 (1990) and Season 5 (1991) Moonlightfocus (talk) 10:36, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The syndication section needs to be updated. I'm surprised they didn't delete that article you cited. 2600:1700:B270:20F0:1927:66DA:C5BF:41D9 (talk) 22:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
