The girls, DJ (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen) each put the men's parenting to the test and ultimately grew into strong women with sturdy values. The men, Danny (Bob Saget), Joey (Dave Coulier) and Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) each brought to the table their own skills and approach on how to raise a family; Danny was the structured father, Joey was the comic uncle and Jesse was the cool uncle. Friends that became family came in and out of the house, making it fuller with love by the season. Full House promoted tried and true morality lessons, unconventional families and heartwarming laughs, so when the show came to an end with Season 8, the cast and fans knew it was the end of an era.
