Adults Need 'Full House' "Lessons" Too

As one of the best family sitcoms of the '90s, Full House is known for its perfectly '90s fashion, classic catchphrases, and, most importantly, its countless life lessons. No matter what the premise was, every Full House episode followed a simple format: the Tanner girls would get into some sort of trouble, and the adults would offer their advice. The scenarios for each girl were always different, and the advice on Full House that the adults gave always varied, but nevertheless, it would always end with sentimental music cueing that the moral of the story for the girls and the viewers. But, every so often, it was the adults that needed to learn a lesson.

It might come as a shock that an overly compulsive dad, a childish best friend, and a rock star uncle would ever need to be taught a lesson, but, mind you, it did happen at least once or twice in the series. Sometimes, when the adults' lives would fall into disarray, it was the kids who stepped in to give some sound advice. From fashion sense to understanding the younger generation, the Tanner girls helped give the adults a fresh outlook on life. Because sometimes the kids taught the adults just as much as the adults taught them.
