I admit, I still watch it
Moonlit_Sorcery8 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I know, I know. It's sappy and clichéd and outdated. But I watch it whenever I get the chance. It's hard to deny that it's always entertaining, even if you have seen reruns of the episodes a hundred times over the years.

Danny Tanner is a single father to three girls. Michelle is the youngest, Stephanie is the fesity middle child, and DJ is the oldest who's more concerned with boys and school. Also living in the Tanner house is Danny's rock-star wannabe, Elvis idolizing brother in law Jesse, Danny's longtime friend Joey, and later on in the series, Jesse's loving, sweet wife Becky and their two twin boys Nicky and Alex. And one golden retriever named Comet. Other characters include Danny's girlfriend Vicky, DJ's air-headed but hilarious best friend Kimmy Gibbler who often walks in uninvited, and DJ's constantly eating boyfriend Steve.

Typically an episode involves one of the characters (typically one of the girls) having a problem and one of the family members (usually Danny) talking with them about their problem. In the eight years that Full House was on, the show dealt with issues such as drinking, peer pressure, smoking, child abuse, first crushes, the loss of loved ones, shoplifting, embarrassing moments, learning to drive, coping with disappointment, responsibiliy, dating, and even sex.

We all remember when Stephanie accidentally drove Joey's beloved car into the kitchen. We all remember when Papouli died. How about when Kimmy piereced Stephanie's ears? DJ throwing together Kimmy's surprise 16th birthday party at the last minute after forgetting? Michelle knocking over the dinosuar at the museum? The family trip to Disney World? Stephanie and Michelle accidentally flying to New Zealand? Stephanie's humiliating first "date"? Jesse breaking both of his arms? Stephanie's birthday party at the gas station? Michelle's amnesia? Stephanie's classmate who was being abused by his father? Joey and Stephanie at the mother/daughter sleepover party? The birth of Nicky and Alex? Jesse's hit single in Japan? Danny giving DJ her first driving lesson? All of the adults becoming addicted to Michelle's video game? Michelle losing the staring role in the play? Denise's uncle turning out to be Little Richard? Danny struggling to propose to Vicky? Comet's big day on the town with the girl of his dreams?

You can still watch reruns of Full House on ABC Family from 3:00 to 4:00 PM eastern time.

"Kid" Show More Mature Than Expected
ReviewsByRachel9 February 2019
FULL HOUSE is a mixed bag. On the plus side, nearly every episode ends with a lesson learned, or a positive message of love and family. Danny, Jesse, and Joey do their best to raise three sweet girls with a knack for getting in (and out) of misadventures. Their parenting style includes gentle reminders (aka discipline) for misdemeanors, and heaps of love for each child no matter what mischief they create. All in all, FULL HOUSE portrays a happy home, albeit an un-traditional one, with many flaws but plenty of love and care to go around. It seems like the ideal kid show, or at least it did to me, until I started watching it. My first impression was "cute and hilarous", but I soon realized it wasn't as clean as it seems. Sexual innuendo started popping up frequently, sometimes in an off-color joke, and sometimes more blatantly. I also was surprised to hear quite a bit of swearing, including d*** and h***, which was a real shock on a show like this. At times they used euphemisms, and other times the children used the real words themselves. As for role models, they're a mixed bag as well. The girls are kind, sweet, and helpful most of the time, but frequently get into some kind of trouble or mischief. Danny is a loving father, and often the one to enforce the lesson, but he has his flaws. Joey is a comical character who loves to laugh, but you'll definitely hear swears and innuendo from him as well. Most of the innuendo comes from uncle Jesse, who's always dating girls, flirting with them, and cracking off-color jokes about his love life. My overall opinion of FULL HOUSE? Don't show this to your kids without previewing a few episodes. Each family has guidelines, and some are stricter than others. The language may or may not bother you, but I'm sure you'll find innuendo and wish the kids weren't around to hear it. I wouldn't show FULL HOUSE to anyone under ten, and even so, I'd probably watch it with them so I could answer troubling questions or point out examples NOT to follow.

Ended up as the "Michelle" show
dhainline112 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Where is nothing decent on, "Full House" is really not a bad way to go! That said, the show turned twin girls less than one year old into a cottage industry, and that was all it offered, unfortunately. Michelle reminds me of Carrie Dollanganger from "Flowers in the Attic" book. Carrie and Michelle have no talents unlike their siblings. All Michelle was good for was acting like a spoiled little princess who never thought before she spoke and who was always eating too much junk food! Off topic: in the beginning of the show it made sense for Danny Tanner to invite outside help with his kids while he went out to work. It doesn't make sense that Jesse and Joey had all these great jobs in TV, advertising, and music and they didn't have enough money to leave the Full House and find their own places. Rebecca never bothered me, although the only thing that bugged me was that she had twin boys who seemed kind of dense and not cute in the least!

Alright! T.G.I.F-Friday!
Smells_Like_Cheese11 January 2004
I remember the days when I couldn't wait for Friday, I was just 2 years old when Full House began, but I remember for some odd reason just watching this show from day one. Full House has always brought back great memories for me, it's the one show I absolutely loved as a child and couldn't miss. I think because I always wanted to be apart of the Tanner family, they always seemed to have it together, have fun, and could solve any problem within half an hour, lol. Now, I still watch the show, I admit, it's an ultimate guilty pleasure. But I think I have a different out look on the show now.

At the time when 80's comedy shows came, it seemed like the popular thing was the single dad bit. Danny Tanner is a widowed father who has three young beautiful daughters: DJ(Donna Joe), Stephanie, and Michelle. His rock and roll brother in law, Jesse, comes to help him out having to abandon his living on the edge life style to take care of his little nieces. And Joey, Danny's life long best friend also moves in, a struggling comedian who brings a little humor and kindness to the family. Together they all go through life and it's little problems, but shows the bright side to each one.

The positives about this show is that it always had good morals, in some sick way, I think this helped me stay as a clean cut kid. It had typical problems that a lot of people knew how to relate too, including for kids growing up. The humor was also a plus, yeah, it's a bit cheesy at times compared to today's sitcoms, but it's still in all good fun like Leave It To Beaver style. Also many people could easily love most of the characters on the show or could relate to them. I always loved Stephanie personally, she always made me laugh and just seemed like the person I'd like to be friends with.

The negatives, problems were solved a little too well, where it could make you believe life was that easy, or at least you would wish it to be so. Then some of the characters got a little annoying, like Michelle, she went from a cute little baby to a spoiled brat, and the show became more about her in the later seasons, which I didn't appreciate. Then the twins that Jesse and Rebecca had were again little brats that were more annoying than cute.

But this show is a huge hit with our pop culture, it still plays on TV today. It also had major career boosts for John Stamos and of course, the Olsen twins. This is a very fun show that will always bring back awesome memories for me. I still watch it, I honestly have driven my mother insane with Full House, I probably will drive my children insane with it as well, but I can't help it, this is a fun show that I think is an honest classic. It always makes you feel good about yourself and about life, as cheesy as that sounds, you'll like it, I'm sure.

A Show with some Good seasons, some Great seasons, and some Horrible seasons
docentliktez22 April 2021
Full house is an entertaining family tv show that was around in the 80's and 90's.

It had some really good messages and fun episodes and it succeeded at being emotional. The first three seasons had all of that. It was really entertaining and funny. Then he 4th 5th and 6th seasons came and they were decent seasons.

Of course the magic was gone but it was still fun and worth to watch. And after that the seventh season came and there was a MASSIVE quality drop. The characters became annoying and the jokes became repetitive. But there was one thing I liked and that was DJ 's boyfriend Steve I thought he was funny enough.

But really a character couldn't save it. Joey's Cartoon impressions became so boring and repetitive that the guy became annoying. And the twins were cute but they weren't that good to save the show. And then Season 8 came and it was for me a 4/10. It felt like the actors and actresses got bored with the show and didn't want to do it anymore. They should've stopped at season 5. And by the way the show was cancelled so I am so glad it was because it would've get even worse.

It started 10/10 and ended a 3/10. An 8/10 in it's genre and a 7/10 overall.

The guiltiest pleasure of them all
DarkSchumyFan28 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The reason for Full House's enduring popularity is a hard one to pin down. While I am certainly guilty of watching it with regularity, I can't even explain exactly why. If one looks at the show objectively, there's little to get excited about. I've always thought it'd be funny to see how an episode would play in a crowded movie theatre and no laugh track with the audience swallowing the painfully unfunny "jokes" like lead bullets. There's maybe one genuine laugh per episode, the rest of the time you wouldn't even know something was supposed to be funny if it weren't for the laugh track. Ah well, for whatever reason, this one inevitably draws everyone in, so more power to it. Long live Full House.

One of the best family shows ever !
n-kellie20 June 2006
Full House is a funny,yet emotional show. The show tells you how an unnormal family can come over some normal everyday life problems. It's a show you could watch over, and over, but never get bored. If you like watching these shows look for Season 1,2, and 3 on DVD. You can also look for Season 4 on DVD August 15 2006. You can find these DVD's anywhere from Walmart to your local mall. The DVD'S usually range from $25.00 - $30.00. The cast in the show make it even better, which includes the now famous Mary-Kate, and Ashley. So if you like shows like 7th Heaven, Family Matters, or any other family friendly shows Full House is for you. This show wasn't the family oriented show it is now in the start it was supposed to be more focused on Danny,Joey, and Jesse. I think it was a better move on ABC's part to switch it to a family sitcom. The show went off the air in 1995, but you can still catch it on ABC Family, and Nick@Nite. It's on ABC Family on normal weekdays at 12:00 PM EDT, and 3:00 PM EDT. It's on Nick@Nite on normal weekdays at 9:00 PM EDT, and 5:00 AM EDT. Also it has Friday night marathons of Full House from 10:00 PM till 2:00 AM in the summer only. Besides those times it usually is not on. I hope you take some time to watch this show if you have not already. The show did win 14 awards and 18 nominations. I hope you enjoy.

So cheesy but fun...
taylorkingston9 January 2014
I'm only seventeen. So this show was finished airing before I was born. I started watching it when I was about eight years old. I love the corny and cheesy eighties and nineties jokes. I love seeing Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen as babies. It's just a good show. Sometimes you laugh real hard and sometimes you start to tear up. I also love seeing where everyone began. I have seen nearly everyone actor/actress in this show, end up doing more. For example, Bob Saget is currently the voice of future Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother. This show has something for everyone. And you need to make sure that you're in a good eighties/nineties way before you watch this show, otherwise you'll be complaining about not seeing cell phones, or iPads.

Full House will live forever!
MarkN_188 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I have never seen a show as good as Full House. Full House puts all of the newer shows to shame, big time! Anyone who has never seen it, which I don't see how it is possible, should see it. It is a great show for anyone of any age. Full House will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will amaze you. True, some people feel that there are some "cheesy" aspects to the show, but, the positive aspects out weigh all of the "cheesy" aspects. Full House ran it's first episode on September 22, 1987 entitled "Our Very First Show" and ran it's last episode on May 23, 1995 entitled "Michelle Rides Again Part II".

The plot of the show is very believable. Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) losses his wife, Pam, in an accident involving a drunk driver. Danny has his brother in law, Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), which is Pam's younger brother, and Danny also brings in his best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) to help him raise his three daughters. Danny's daughters are named DJ (Candice Cameron-Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen).Joey and Jesse plan on moving in with Danny and his three girls for a few months just to help out and end up living with them for eight years; which is the number of years the show ran for.

The following is a short description of some of the characters and the actor/actress who played him/her: John Stamos (Jesse): John Stamos is a great actor. He plays Jesse. Jesse is a rock star waiting to get his big break. In Full House, John Stamos does a great job portraying his character. He looked and played music like his idol, Elvis Presley.

Bob Saget (Danny): Bob Saget is also a great actor. He looses his wife in car accident involving a drunk driver. He has to raise three girls without a having the girl's Mother. Bob Saget does a great job portraying a single parent who works full time and still has time to raise his three girls.

Dave Coulier (Joey): One word can describe Dave Coulier, funny. He is great. Playing the character of Joey was perfect for him. He does a great job playing the stand-up comedian waiting for his big break.

Candice Cameron-Bure (DJ): She is a tremendous actress. She plays the oldest sister, DJ which is short for Donna Jo. She is one of the best actresses I have ever seen. Her acting ability in Full House was very believable.

Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie): Two simple words can describe Jodie Sweetin, incredibly amazing! I wish I could say every thing that I would like to say about Jodie, but, I would use up the 1,000 word maximum just on her. She got her start in a kids show called Mother Goose Stories and when she came to Full House, she blew the audience's and creator's mind. Her great looks and absolutely amazing acting ability helped to make the show the success that it was. According to Dave Coulier, Jodie was supposed to be the star of the show. It was supposed to be where she was going to get her big break. Jodie, at five years old when the show first aired, could hit every line perfectly. She showed great enthusiasm. Most young kids can't do this. As you can probably guess, Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie) is my favorite character in Full House.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Michelle): Great actress. Full House is where they got their start. They received the part of Michelle because they were the only babies who did not cry while in front of a camera.

There are many more cast members that should be recognized. These are the original characters from when the show first went on the air in 1987.

The only negative thing that I can say is how Full House became The Michelle Show towards the end. I think it was to focused on her towards the end. Especially when I think Jodie and Candice were much better at acting.

Full House is a great show for everyone. It can teach you a lot. One of the biggest things it can teach you is that everyone can live a great life even if a tragedy, such as loosing a family member, occurs. Full House continues to attract new fans. With all this said, there is only a couple things left to say; Full House will never die, and, thank you, the cast of Full House, for giving everyone a show that they can enjoy.

Good Show But...
orangebaby33622 November 2004
Full House is a great family show. However, after watching some episodes over and over again I've realized that they're incredibly boring and they seem to shelter themselves from the outside world a lot. Yes, there is a lot of comedy, but there are times when it's incredibly cheesy. It's not like I hate it, but just don't watch them over and over again because they get old quick. Probably the best season is the first.

Full House is about widower Danny Tanner(Bob Saget)and his three daughters D.J. (Candace Cameron) Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley). When Danny's wife dies the he is in need of some help. So, his best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) and the girls' Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) moves in with them. Once they live there together they find they can't live without each other.

Full House reminds you just how important family is and that you can always go home again.

Terrible show
martybabbitt26 April 2015
Why does anyone watch this? It's not funny, the characters are awful, there is no real problems yet it acts as if the problems in the show are always huge ordeals, and yet somehow it has a gigantic fan base. I get the nostalgia, but come on! With all the great shows coming out at that time, you people picked this? Let me just name what you could've watched instead of this: Seinfeld, Simpsons, Macgyver, Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles, The A team, Star Trek the next generation and so many more. How does someone like this? And yet, you decided that you should waste thirty minutes of your life watching this! How? Why? Please explain to me why people thought this show was good, because I certainly can't explain it.

What a Show!!!
nair_jesuslovesyou17 September 2008
oh boy, i grew up a huge fan of Full House when it first aired on ABC to its final episode.... the entire cast had great chemistry, and the relationships on the show where very genuine, loving, and heartfelt,

and you never got bored or tired of watching a single episode or rerun of Full House, because it was such a very charming, lovable, sweet, and entertaining sitcom, and considered to be one of the most popular TV sitcoms of all time...go figure! I really never get tired of Full House, I'm happy to say that I own all 8 seasons on DVD...it was a great investment.

i loved every single character on the show

they all had there moments, including that annoying, but sometimes hilarious Kimmy Gibbler.

Thank God Full House is still in syndication

and you can catch it on ABC Family weekday mornings

and enjoy this magical treat from ABC.

Full House - A warm and funny series that makes the child in you feel home
sivapriyakamat7 September 2022
The series is funny, warm and close to heart. You fall in love with the characters. It makes appeals to the child in you. Out of the 8 seasons, first five seasons are really good (9 stars out of10). Season 6 is okay (7 out of 10). Season 7 and 8 are bad (4 out of 10) which is why I have given 7. Basically the series lose its charm once Uncle Jesse's twins are born.

From season 6, it feels like the writers have gone out of content.

But the first 5 seasons are really good and funny - A rare English series without the woke craps. And since the target audience is children every episode has a moral lesson to teach and all the problems are resolved in the end of the episode.

Not what it could have been
kuhie8722 January 2014
This show is not that good bad jokes and it reeks of 90's era....... I have no idea how this show lasted for so long......Most of the characters were not likable This show would be better if it didn't have a 7th heaven feel to it...Typical 90's show. The only reason i watched this show was because of the older daughters and Bob Saget is great. this show could have really been something if it had a cast that was good. This show also has plot holes and characters that go missing after one episode!!!. The story was never really strong either. I feel they tried to play the whole no mother thing a little to much and just used it as a form of playing with your feelings. This would have the viewer hooked to see what was going to happen next. NO THANKS!

I Love It!
Amanda_G26 October 2004
Warning: Spoilers
I think Full House was and still IS a great show! It is family-safe and you are always guaranteed a good laugh at SOMETHING, whether it be Jesse's comments to Danny...Kimmy's rude behavior...it's just a hilarious show. The plot is very believable. A father of 3 daughters who's wife dies from a drunk driving accident, so the father calls his brother-in-law and best friend to help him out a bit. This show isn't a normal sitcom. It's the #1 sitcom. If you don't fall in love with this show, you'll fall in love with one of the actors. Almost everyone who watches Full House has a favorite character. Mine is John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) I'm telling you all, watch this show!! It makes you laugh, cry, and go "WOW! That was so corny!" It's 30 minutes well spent. That's why I give Full House 5 stars! Watch this show everyone. It's worth it.

The coming & the going of this show
CKCSWHFFAN7 March 2006
This is how I feel about the show.

I started watching the show in reruns in 2001.

I enjoy the show but it had too many faults.

I HATE THE MICHELLE & JOEY CHARACTERS!

Stealing story lines from old TV shows. They even stole from "The Partirdge Family." Then in 1 episode "The Partridge Family" was mentioned.

Actors playing different roles in different episodes. MTV Martha Quinn the most notable doing this, especially when she played herself in 1 episode.

The Michelle character COULD NOT take a joke but then they had this little kid act out "revenge" to her sisters for a joke by them on her.

Story lines that came & went in 1 episode. Joey getting the TV show with Frankie & Annette, never heard from it again after that. Danny all of a sudden playing the guitar. 1 episode he is coaching soccer, 1 episode he is coaching softball/baseball. 1 game & you are out huh Danny?

Jesse & Joey keep getting jobs REALLY QUICKLY with no experience. Only in a TV show.

I did like the D.J. & Stephanie characters. Wish Jodie Sweetin could have learned from Candace Cameron Bure & had a clean NON drug adult life.

Full House
Msbearr200716 January 2007
I grew up watching Full House as a child. I stopped watching it for years, but about two weeks ago I started back watching it again. Now my kids watch the show and they love to watch it as well. My kids can't believe that DJ , on the show, and I are the same age.

I really love the show, because it is a show you can watch with your family. It has good teachings your kids can learn from. Also there isn't any drugs and violence on it. Also when the kids, on the show, have a problem they can always open up to their family for help. That's the message kids should be getting from TV now a days, turn to your family for help, not to drugs. Kids should be watching more shows like Full House instead of half the mess on TV now a days.

I also love the show because it makes you laugh and it is down to earth. It talks about real life problems and family matters. There is always a lesson you can learn from the show.

I vote the show a 10.

i love john stamos...
xtimetowastexx18 August 2006
Yea. John Stamos is pretty much the main reason that I still watch this show. He is AMAZING. 'nuff said. The rest of the cast is pretty good too. Lori Loughlin's also great. Bob Saget was hilarious as the neat-freak Danny. Candace Cameron is a really good actress, I wish she acted more. Anyway, the one thing I really don't like about this show is Michelle. I know, I know, shes the most popular character. And yea, she was cute before she could speak full sentences. But once she could she became a complete spoiled brat. She was obviously the favorite, and it annoyed me so bad. Oh well. It's pretty cheesy, and I don't like that they always have a heart-felt talk with the dramatic music at the end of each episode, but its a good show that makes me laugh.

Really Really Really sweet and wonderful show
ShowStoppar16 May 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Well what can I say about Full House. It was, is and always will be favorite show of all time. There was something really really special about Full House. It wasn't like any other show. Usually now we see shows filled with mindless and adult humor, but this was something everyone, from a 2 year old child to a 70 year old grandparent could enjoy. People could relate to the love, compare the small and day to day problems to their own. It was amazingly sweet. It had a magical feel towards it which, in my opinion no other show will ever have.

Various critics have termed the show as overly sweet or too good to be true. Something as a perfect family. It IS partly true. But I believe that this over sweetness made the people feel more happy watching the show. It was certainly not corny and cheesy as many other shows and movies are. You wouldn't feel like gagging in any of the Full House episodes.

Maybe I'm just being nostalgic but my heart flutters at any mention of Full House or something related to it. Full House created an impact in not only America but around the whole world where it was and still is telecasted. It provided a happy heaven or secure bubble for people who were feeling low. The Full House family was and is the Worlds Family. Everyone associated with Full House was and is special. Be it the cameraman or the whole cast. They were all special. Full House is something as falling in love. This may and probably does sound really really corny and cheesy but thinking about watching Full House brings back good memories and makes you feel happy and nostalgic. I hope anyone who watched the show enjoyed it.

Full House along with humor provided daily lessons which a child and an adult may familiarize themselves with. It didn't face as major problems as people expected it to, but really there are very few families who face as major problems as people expected it too.

People grew up and still do grow up watching Full House. I hope there is a reunion show again.

Oh, no...you forgot to brush your teeth...
vampyrecowboy25 August 2009
What a crime...

You forgot to brush your teeth...let's make a 30 minute show about it and have a couple of kids make some noise and then have the dad lecture them all because that's what he has to do.

But, don't forget Uncle Joey has to make some weird noises and cooky faces, then Uncle Jesse has to show up with his black leather jacket and some jeans and look pretty for a few minutes while everybody discusses how Mother would have done things if she were around..

Yep, full of zany little adventures about a whole bunch of nothing and an entire overlong story to build around it.

Full House will not only bore you to tears, but it will make you age twenty times faster than you normally would.

Best show on TV
kdnor20113 May 2010
I discovered Full House about four or five years ago. My sister loved Mary Kate and Ashley Olson, and my dad suggested this show. Instantly I was hooked, it is an amazing show, it was funny, dramatic, it had everything.

All the characters are memorable. Danny the widowed father who also happens to be a clean freak. Jesse, the cool musician. Joey, the funny guy who can make tons of celebrity voices. DJ, the oldest. Stephanie, the middle kid. Michelle, the cute little one. Becky, a fun talk show host. Kimmy, the weird next door neighboor. And Steve, DJ's cool boyfriend, played by the guy who played Alladin.

If you haven't seen this show, catch it on ABC family, or buy them on DVD, I'm pretty sure they released all the seasons.

Great Family Show, Though it Was Corny
view_and_review20 March 2024
I can't say I was the biggest "Full House" fan. I liked it when it first came out, but as I got older it got cornier to me. It was so sanitized and Leave it to Beaver-ish that I couldn't get into it once I reached the age of about twelve. Now, those characteristics do make it an excellent family show, just don't expect tween and teen boys to like it.

Even the cool guy, Uncle Jesse (John Stamos), wasn't cool anymore when I got older. And Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) and Uncle Joey (Dave Coulier) were NEVER cool.

The show lasted eight seasons so they had to be doing something right, and I'm sure "Full House" helped Bob Saget get the AFHV gig.

Most Annoying show on television
vsilly2526 June 2007
This show is just annoying!!! I feel sorry for the actors for having to attempt to be funny (especially Bob Saget), the laugh track tries to cover up the sad jokes and the "Awwww" track comes up at the most unnecessary times. The over-dramatic kids are no exception, especially the Olsen twins. Also, this show is cliché city. If you were to look up the word cliché, it would read "Full House" Every story line has a "life lesson" to be learned at the end. A sappy speech makes everything better and even has the ability to make the most bratty child have a sudden realization of goodness GASP too bad this couldn't be possible in real life. I don't know how someone could watch this show without bad mouthing the behavior of the characters or the laugh track. i find myself yelling at the TV saying, "THAT Isn't FUNNY/SAD/CUTE" If life were really like this, the world would fall apart.
