23 Amazing Full House Photos You’ve Never Seen Before
As we near February 26 (when Fuller House becomes available on Netflix!), it’s the perfect time to take a look back at the Full House archives and dig up photos you haven’t seen before. After all, everywhere you look…
Back where it all began! On July 1, 1987, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and John Stamos filmed the opening of Full House in an undisclosed park location.
On the second episode ever (“Our Very First Night,” which aired September 25, 1987), Jesse takes the rap for DJ and Stephanie after they take advantage of him, stay up too late, and order pizza.
Motherly love: Back in December 1987, Jodie Sweetin and her mom, Janice Sweetin, posed for a photo on the iconic checkered blue couch with Candace Cameron and her mom, Barbara Cameron. Fast-forward almost 30 years, and Sweetin and Cameron-Bure are doing the same thing with their kids.
Play it again, Jesse! John Stamos and an unidentified Olsen twin wore matching berets in the season-one episode “Just One of the Guys,” in March 1988.
Stars from the start. The Olsen twins oozed adorableness in this April 1988 photo shoot.
In November 1988, the Beach Boys (pictured here: Al Jardine and Mike Love) made their first appearance on Full House and got a a few dance lessons from Jodie Sweetin.
The hugs were aplenty from the start. In December 1988, Jodie Sweetin showed her affection for TV dad Bob Saget during filming of the season-two episode “Triple Date.”
Who could forget Jodie Sweetin and the unsung hero of the Tanner household, Mr. Bear (pictured here in March 1989)? Seriously, think about everything this felt bundle of goodness had to go through to survive life in the four-story home? In case you’re wondering where the real Mr. Bear is now, Jodie Sweetin told us in a brand-new interview that we’ll be running this week!
On April 28, 1989, Jesse and Becky almost got married in Lake Tahoe (at the fabulous Ali Baba Hotel and Casino) in the episode titled “Lucky Be a Lady.” The hottest sitcom couple on earth eventually decided to postpone their nuptials, but not before Lori Loughlin posed for some stunning portraits in Becky’s purple-hued dress.
Can Ashley or Mary-Kate Olsen return to Fuller House, if only for a reunion with John Stamos? Just look at this photo from August 1989 and tell us your heart doesn’t melt.
He was Mr. Duck Face to Stephanie, but in real life, Whitby Hertford was one of Full House‘s most memorable guest stars (seen here in the episode “Nerd for a Day,” from October 13, 1989).
For the Hawaii episode (“Tanners Island”) that kicked off season three, John Stamos shared this never-before-seen video clip over the weekend of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (and one of them giving him a toddler-size punch). Have mercy!

If this clip doesn’t make its way onto Dancing With the Stars this season (where Jodie Sweetin is expected to compete), then all is wrong in the world. This dream sequence, which saw Stephanie’s ballroom dancing debut, aired on September 25, 1991.
Need to bribe a young child? Ice cream is the way to go, as Uncle Jesse did with Michelle, in “Gotta Dance,” which aired on November 5, 1991. Cutest photo ever? Just might be.
Aunt Becky channeled the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, in her structured blue suit, as Becky and Jesse’s twins paid a visit to Wake Up, San Francisco, in this photo from January 1992.
In this on-set candid (notice the prop guy in the background) from October 1992, Lori Loughlin is all smiles with on-screen sons, Dylan and Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit, who will return as Nicky and Alex Katsopolis in Fuller House.
The cast took a trip to Disney World in May 1993 for their season finale, and Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber joined Pinocchio and Alice in Wonderland for tea time.
Danny and Vicki got engaged in “The House Meets the Mouse” (filmed on location in Disney World) back in May 1993, but the couple never made it down the aisle. How come? Turns out there was a not so pleasant reason for that, and creator Jeff Franklin reveals all in a new interview that we’ll run later this week.
Don’t let their on-screen difficulties fool you. Off-screen, Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin got along just fine, often attending outside events together. Here, in April 1993, they saluted Camp Snoopy at the beagle’s 10th anniversary party at Knott’s Berry Farm.
Dave Coulier—in his staple hockey attire—got one of the Olsen twins to dress the part as well. Hey, it was 1993, what do you expect?
Who in their right mind thought this tie and vest was a good idea for the ABC promo shoot in 1993? God bless Bob Saget and Gail Edwards, who went along with it anyway.
In a slight improvement from the above wardrobe, matching denim was the name of the game at the same 1993 promo shoot for Scott Weinger and Candace Cameron.
A year before Full House was canceled, the show took a field trip up to San Francisco in August of 1994 to do promo shoots for the new season.
To promote the final season of Full House, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin (and their ’90s attire) attended the ABC Cocktail Party Kick-Off New Fall Season on September 13, 1994, at West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center. Of course, as we all know, this wouldn’t be the end…
Fuller House premieres on Friday, February 26, followed by 12 episodes of life in the Tanner/Fuller/Gibbler household.
