Full House: S6E20: Grand Gift Auto (In Honor Of Dave Coulier's (Joey Gladstone) Birthday)

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, in honor of Dave Coulier's Birthday, I've decided to cover Full House S6E20: Grand Gift Auto, which aired on March 16, 1993. In this episode Joey gets D.J. a car for her birthday, but the police show up with the news it's stolen and suspect Joey of being the thief. When the Tanners attempt to prove his innocence, Joey gets the impression that he's not appreciated in the family. I really enjoyed this episode, for years Joey has been seen as the funny guy by his family, but he feels the joke's on him when he buys DJ a used car for her 16th birthday and it is reported stolen by the owner. The family rallies around Joey in his defence by using all his goofy possessions like a Scooby Doo Nightshirt (I Want That Shirt), and TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Slippers (I Had Those Same Ones When I was 11, Leonardo) to save him from being arrested. Luckily for Joey the tough lady cop is wowed by his Turtle Slippers and he isn't take to jail. While the family celebrates, Joey is hurt and embarrassed as he lashes out at the family thinking he is the big family joke. I feel for Joey up to a point, but honestly this whole thing would have gone a lot better if Jesse or Danny had gone with him to see this car, granted Joey wanted it to be a surprise for DJ, but now he's out a bit of money, and sadly we don't know how much he laid down for the car. I loved the lady cop and thought the actress did a great job. This is a good life lesson for us all, if a deal seems to go to be true, it probably is, and also never go by yourself to purchase something from someone online. Don't go to someone's house, always meet in a public place, bring a friend in case things are shady. If you don't feel right about something, walk away. This little old lady as Joey describes her will be caught, she is the real thief. I'm sure the bank knows something, and I bet Joey isn't the first person she tried to get with that scam. Join me in October for the first episode in the Grandparents Day Series, I kick this off with Full House S1E4: The Return Of Grandma, which aired on October 9, 1987. In this episode an untimely visit from the guys' mothers turns the house upside down. To EMAIL The Podcast Go To: [email protected] As always please stay safe, stay healthy, stay positive!
