Full House is an American television sitcom that ran from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995 on ABC. Set in San Francisco, California, it chronicles widowed father Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) who, after the death of his wife in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, enlists his best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) and his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) to help raise his three daughters, and later on in the series Jesse's wife Rebecca Donaldson (Lori Loughlin) joins the household.
The series was named after the hand in the game of poker known as a full house, with Danny as the "player", his three daughters as the "three of a kind", and his best friend and brother-in-law as the "pair".
The series was created by Jeff Franklin (who would later create Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, which was placed directly after Full House on Tuesdays in 1992 and on which Stamos and the Olsen twins guest starred) and executive produced by Franklin, along with Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett, who also produced the popular ABC sitcoms Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, Bussom Buddies, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, and Step by Step.
The series was produced by Jeff Franklin Productions and Miller-Boyett Productions, in association with Lorimar-Telepictures (1987-1988), Lorimar Television (1988-1993), and then by Warner Brothers Television (1993-1995). It is also the only videotaped sitcom produced by Miller-Boyett Productions; all other Miller-Boyett comedies were shot on film.
