Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast and Together We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast

Happy Full House Friday Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today in honor of Dave Coulier's Birthday (September 21)(Joey Gladstone) I covered S1E10: Joey's Place, which aired on December 4, 1987. In this episode Joey fears that the family doesn't need him anymore when they give him a too-joyful send off. But in reality, they are planning a way to surprise him with space of his own. Meanwhile, Jesse learns that Joey's job as child care provider and housekeeper is not an easy one. I enjoyed this episode and 100% agree Joey did need his own space in fact if I were Joey I would have said before I even move in I need to have my own room or my own space. I mean honestly if I were agreeing to move in for the unforeseeable future to help raise someone's kids that would have been a condition right, having your own room? Can you imagine 8 years of living in a alcove/nook space under the stairs? Even Harry Potter had a door, an enclosed space with a bed and some shelves in his space under the stairs, even if it was just a closet. He had privacy. Something Joey could never get. But then again, privacy was always an issue in that house with that family always wanting to know your business and what you were doing all the time every day. Not to mention the whole family's attitude toward Joey just before he left acting like they didn't need him and making him feel left out. He left for two weeks for a college comedy tour can you imagine having that weighing on your mind thinking while your job is making people laugh. I felt so bad for Joey. I feel he was fully warranted when he came back with the anger he was feeling especially after seeing his stuff gone from the alcove and when he asks the family where all his stuff is they casually/nonchalantly tells him "oh we threw it down in the garage". I'd be Peed off too if I were him. But in the end it's a good thing and he gets his own space. the is just the first of many changes the rooms in the Tanner house over the course of 25 years. Lots of room switching/changing. In fact 3 Seasons later it will change again as Joey's basement apartment turns into the studio and Joey takes Jesse's old bedroom as he and Becky move into the attic. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the Back To School PART 3 Series Full House S4E6: A Pinch For A Pinch, which aired on October 26, 1990. In this episode Jesse gives Michelle bad advice on how to handle a bully. To EMAIL The Podcast Go To: [e-mail] Have a great weekend everyone!
