Uncle Jesse's Girl

Still only the second-best song inspired by Dave Coulier (Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" being the best).
 
I looked on line tonight, speaking of Jesse, for the follow to Jesse's Girl -- Eat Your Heart Out Rick Springfield...
Was Jimmy Hart the only one who sang it?
 
For starters: Pam wasn't killed because she "couldn't keep her eyes on the road." She was hit by a drunk driver.

Jessie and Becky didn't drink, either. Jessie had some wild nights before they got together, but he quit the party scene when they met.

And Jessie was suspicious of Joey's intentions with Becky once. During his first visit to the Tanner's house, Rusty -- the precocious, little 10-year old -- planted a "secret" love note that was supposed to be from the paperboy to D.J. Well, hilarity ensued from there, as the note made it to everyone in the house -- including Michelle -- but D.J. Stephanie thought it was from Rusty; Kimmy though it was from Jessie; Danny thought it was from Becky; Rusty's mom thought it was from Joey; Michelle couldn't read it; and Jessie thought it was from either Danny -- or Joey.

Thankfully, everything worked out before anyone threw a punch. Well, it worked out for all but Rusty. D.J. even started talking with the paperboy. Great episode.

But Joey never made an advance on Becky. The closest he came was when Jessie turned up missing on his wedding day. Right before he jumped from an airplane, Jessie told Joey, "If anything happens to me, marry Becky." Joey was even reluctant then -- and so was Becky when he told her Jessie's backup plan.

Besides, Becky didn't have a good Betty Rubble impression. She'd never cut it in Joey's world.

I really do feel bad for him sometimes.
 
BBAM, What's bad is I was actually quoting Uncle Jesse.
 
If I had any brains, I'd have named my comb Mr. Goodpart when I first got it. That'd be as close to Uncle Jessie as the law would let me get.
 
Joey Gladstone was an incredibly creepy character.

Becky and Jesse were a terrific match, as were Danny and Vickie.
 
Maybe Becky didn't do Betty Rubble so well, but if she could do a pretty good Olive Oil, she'd have made a nice compliment to his Popeye impersonation, which was spot-on.

Most of his impressions were great, which -- I'm sure -- is a big reason that show was so popular with the kids. Popeye and Bullwinkle were popular; his impressions of Pepe le Pew, the Tasmanian Devil, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd and the rest of the Looney Tunes, not to mention the Wizard of Oz, were awesome. He was really versatile. He was great comic relief and could play the sappy part when needed.

The episode with his father, the Colonel, is one of my favorites.

So were D.J. and Steve Hale -- his original name was Peters, though, like Jessie's went from Cochoran to Katsopolis, his change on the second appearance. They were the best match of all D.J.'s boyfriends, easily.

Almost as good as the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello television pilot episode.

He could have made that show a can't-miss.

They have nothing on Kimmy Gibler and Duane.

"Whatever."

I did choke up when Steve returned for DJ's prom in the series finale. He really ****ed up the whole college process, completely ignoring DJ (even buying her that school sweatshirt) and choosing a party school in Florida (Daytona Beach, if I'm not mistaken).
 
It was an awesome ending to the show. I was a little let down when Michelle didn't die at the end of the first part, but Steve's reappearance almost made up for it.

Duane can do Shakespeare like no one's business.
