After the death of his wife, Danny enlists his best friend and his brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters, D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle.

Trivia about Full House

Posey only appeared in the show's unaired pilot; which is included on the DVD release of Season 1.

John Stamos's character was originally named Jesse Cochran; Stamos reportedly wanted his character to better reflect his Greek heritage, so producers decided to change the character's surname to Katsopolis (beginning with season two).

Twins Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen were cast to alternate in the role of Michelle during tapings.

The girls were jointly credited as "Mary Kate Ashley Olsen" in seasons two through seven because the producers did not want audiences to know that the Michelle character was played by twins.

Saget was not available to appear in the pilot due to his commitment as an on-air contributor to CBS's The Morning Program.

The producers instead cast actor John Posey to play Danny.
