Full House: S5E17: Spellbound (Back To School Part 2 Series)

Happy Friday Fulls House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today I covered the next episode in the Full House Back To School Part 2 Series, Full House S5E17: Spellbound, which aired on January 28, 1992. In this episode Stephanie participates in a spelling bee and Michelle learns to read with Jesse's help. I enjoyed this episode, I really liked how Danny called Stephanie out for being a sore loser and explaining how she could have handled it better and congratulated Davey. Now Davey, I don't want to say he had an ego even though we know he relished being referred to as the "human dictionary" but he did bring Stephanie her ribbon for who knows how she placed in the competition because she left or was escorted out by Jesse and Joey before we could find out. I think this would have been an interesting opportunity to bring back Stephanie's friend from Season 2-3 Harry, they could have been in different classes and faced off on stage as the best spellers in their class, like we used to be friends but now we're rivals. I also think Jesse was the best one to teach Michelle how to read unlike Danny who wanted to incorporate the names of cleaning products into the mix and DJ who was I think too advanced talking about the differents sounds the same vowels make, like seriously, DJ, Michelle's on Level 1 and you're jumping to Level 4, back it up a bit and go slower. I really wish Jesse could have taken the same approach to teaching Nicky and Alex letters as he did with Michelle, but I think Season 8's Breaking Away was all about Jesse wanting to be right and proving a point that in his mind no one's more qualified than him when it comes to teaching his kids. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the Back To School PART 2 Series, Fuller House S3E12: Fast Times At Bayview High, which aired on December 22, 2017. In this episode Jimmy and Stephanie take a step toward their future, as Jackson and Ramona begin high school. Have a great weekend everyone and please continue to be safe.
