Yesterday my friend sent me an email telling me how great my blog is. I love getting emails like this because they finally prove once and for all that I am doing something good with my life. This friend in particular probably worries about me more than most people because he is a police officer. So it makes sense that he doesn't approve of lots of stuff.
But he was like, hey you did a really nice job on that blog so I was like, hey I appreciate that. But then he said something that brought back some painful memories of me and him arguing about Full House. I am still mad about it right now in fact.
He was like, Full House reminds me of how I have always wanted to live in a house with two staircases even though theirs are not architecturally accurate. I read this and I was like man, you have got to be kidding me. We have been having this exact same conversation on and off for the past eight years and every time I convince him that the staircases do in fact line up, he just forgets about it. He has even admitted about how I am right on several occasions and then he acts like it never happened. And then six months or a year later he will bring up the freaking staircases on Full House like I didn't totally spend hours explaining this to him before.
If this blog proves anything it's that some people just don't get it. Obviously the kitchen staircase turns at least one time and spits you out at the back end of the upstairs hallway. The main staircase has a final unseen turn before it spits you out at the front of the hallway. The bedrooms are above the main room and kitchen. What's not to get?
I have some very vivid memories of me drawing pictures of the layout for my friend one time. I either did this in real life or in a dream I had but does it even matter? This feels pretty basic to me.
Don't get me wrong, I love talking about Full House. But I am tired of explaining this same thing over and over again when somebody just refuses to listen to reason. The layout of the Full House house is something I can just see in my mind and people are going to have to trust me about that. If I say the staircases line up, the staircases line up. I am not trying to explain away an inconsistency, I am saying the layout is architecturally sound.
Gah when are people going to shut up and start trusting me.

Hmm...I've had ill feelings towards the Full House stairs for years. It always pissed me off, or maybe just annoyed me that 'it appears' that when they go up the kitchen stairs, they show footage of what it would look like if someone came up the main room stairs...I am sorry rhr, but I am not sure I understand your reasoning...I would love to discuss it in further details and see your drawn out house plan...Im not in it to argue with you, but just get to the bottom of this...I think i'll get out my season 3 and do some research...
ReplyDeleteI made a rough sketch in paintbrush which can be viewed by clicking the following link. PS - there may be some truth the inconsistency of the stairs.

ok, so here i my rough sketch...I dont disagree that both stairs lead to the upstairs hallway, but it would only make sense that the kitchen stairs lead to the opposite end of the hallway as the main room stairs. It just annoys me that they show the same stupid footage for both entrances.

Well I am admitting that there are some things I haven't accounted for but your diagram isn't exactly accurate. I mean Danny's room and the girls' room are juxtaposed and there are gaps where there shouldn't be gaps. Pretty much this is a bigger mess than I thought.
ReplyDeleteNot to beat a dead horse into a 9th year (FH didn't do it so why should we?) BUT on the show, theoretically, one would walk up the main stairs and turn left to go into DJ & Steph's room however, that isn't going to happen with the outside wall of the house right there. Your diagram shows exactly why it would never work. I know they do things a little differently in San Francisco and I can even get past the inconsistent rear stairs/front stairs footage, but the house just doesn't work. This fact, by the way, was brought up by none other than Mr. Bob Sagat on a behind the scenes tour he gave of the FH set on the classic Nickelodeon talk show made by kids, for kids called Don't Just Sit There.
