Full House: S5E19: The Devil Made Me Do It (Jesse & Michelle Double Feature)

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the first episode in the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature which I chose for December, Full House S5E19: The Devil Made Me Do It, which aired on February 18, 1992. In this episode the temptation to fiddle with Jesse's forbidden music equipment is too great for Michelle; but when Jesse lands her in hot water for it, the little devil in her wants to burn him. Elsewhere, Kimmy and Stephanie are at each other's throats, and it's up to D.J. to referee the proceedings. I really liked this episode! Jesse and Michelle's relationship is put to the test when Michelle plays with Jesse's music equipment in his studio after he recently forbade her from doing so. She calls him "Uncle Tattletale" after Jesse explains to Danny what happened. Michelle of course is punished and she chooses to retaliate after being visited by her consciences in physical form, "Good Michelle" and "Bad Michelle". It's a battle of wills as "Bad Michelle" encourages her to run away from home to teach "Uncle Tattletale" a lesson and "Good Michelle" tries to reign Michelle in and keep her from going over to the dark side. Michelle winds up at Teddy's house where we meet his family including his sister (played by his real life older twin sisters Tia and Tamara Mowry) who would later star in their own TGIF ABC sitcom Sister, Sister. I immediately recognized Teddy's dog Sparky from earlier in Season 4 and also the 1992 Movie Beethoven. I also recognize the "Old Maid" Card game that Michelle and Teddy are playing because we had the same cards at my Grandparents house. The Old Maid card had a crease down the middle and we could always tell who had it whenever we played. Jesse has a creative way to teach Michelle a lesson of her own to make her think twice about running away again and I for one think it was brilliant. On the Plot B side, DJ is sick of her best friend Kimmy and her younger sister Stephanie arguing all the time, so she forces a sit down with them until they can agree. It backfires in DJ's face, because the one thing that Kimmy and Steph agree on is how DJ's habits annoy them beyond belief to the point where DJ feels like the third wheel when Kimmy invites Steph out for some frozen yogurt. Join me later this month when I cover the finale episode in the Jesse & Michelle Double Feature, Full House S6E18: Please, Don't Touch The Dinosaur, which aired on February 23, 1993. In this episode Jesse and Danny both get volunteered to take Michelle's class on a field trip to the museum. Jesse's rowdier bunch of kids cause trouble and end up destroying a dinosaur skeleton. Meanwhile, Stephanie and D.J. get into an argument over who owns a baseball card worth $2,000. Have a great weekend everyone! TO EMAIL The PODCAST GO TO: omhcfhfhpodcast@gmail.com
