Full House: S1E19E20: The Seven Month Itch PARTS 1 and 2 (Jesse's Ladies Series)

Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast

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 last episode(s) since this is a 2 Parter, in the Jesse's Ladies Series with, Full House S1E19 and S1E20: The Seven Month Itch Parts 1 & 2 which aired on March 11, 1988 and March 18, 1988. In PART 1 - Jesse is fed up with his lack of privacy and family responsibilities, especially when they interfere with his love life. In PART 2 - Jesse leaves a note stating he can't take it anymore and wants to get away from the family. Stephanie and D. J. fear he's moving out, so they call and tell him Michelle is really sick so he'll rush home. I enjoyed this episode as Jesse gets away with his friends and his new girl Samantha, he reexamines his life and his priorities and sees that being with the girls and Danny and Joey, being part of a family, is where his heart is and hoe he has to start growing up and making some changes in his life. The girls adjust to Jesse being out of the house and I swear it's like the house and everyone can't function without him there. Joey steps in as cook and we all know he's not the greatest as we see by the strawberry banana pancakes he tries and (fails) to make for the girls, one pancake ends up not completely done and is "soupy in the middle" as Steph puts a finger in it, DJ's pancake is stiff as a board as she bangs it against the table. It gets even worse when Danny attempts to give DJ a guitar lesson, it goes just about as bad as when he teaches her to drive in Season 5, terrible, they both start yelling at each other. DJ demands Danny tell her the truth "Is Uncle Jesse really moving out?" Danny caves and tells her yes, which leads DJ to unloading her feelings about how after her Mom died she didn't want to live in the house anymore, but having Uncle Jesse and Joey move in made living there enjoyable. I like seeing how Jesse's absence affects the girls, enough so that they come up with a plan of action to get him to come home. Cue the phone call, Michelle is sick. Apparently Jesse is the only one that Michelle will take her medicine from. Jesse doesn't think twice as he abandons Samantha and his buddies and heads home. We also get one of our first Jesse/Michelle talks, this is were he makes the decision to stay and be a part of the girls' lives. I think this was the path he was meant to take, he soon meets Becky, and eventually they get married and start a family. If he left the house that never happens and his relationship with Michelle that we know of never develops, Jesse has to stay in that house in order to change and grow and evolve and become the Jesse we know him as. I hope you all enjoy the episode and have a great weekend! To EMAIL The PODCAST GO TO: [e-mail]
