Released by ABC Sitcom, Full House is one of the best family comedy shows ever. It is the perfect blend of rib-tickling humour along with a generous dose of heart-warming moments. With a stellar cast, the show was a long-running hit on television. Below are a few facts you never knew about the series.

1. Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier went on a road trip to Las Vegas after the first season to help develop a rapport for their on-screen roles. The three forged an amazing bond that helped them enact their characters so well on the show.

2. John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse, was initially assigned the surname Cochran. But he changed it to Katsopolis to suit his character’s Greek roots.

3. Initially, the producers did not want their viewers to know that Michelle was played by the twin's Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, so they credited the name as Mary Kate - Ashley Olsen.

4. The Fuller House series, which aired in 2016, is a Full House spin-off, which has the extended storyline of the characters DJ Tanner, Steffany Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler.
