Jesse Katsopolis purred 'Have mercy!' whenever something impressed him; the part was written as Adam until John Stamos asked for the name Jesse before the series began.

Q 07What frightening event leaves Stephanie so anxious in season three that Danny takes her to a child psychiatrist?
An earthquake
An earthquake: the episode aired shortly after the real 1989 Loma Prieta quake shook the Bay Area and was written to help local children cope with the same fears.
Q 08A running gag about Kimmy Gibbler, D.J.'s best friend, was the terrible smell of her what?
Feet

Q 12Which of the Tanner daughters was famously played by twin actresses?
Michelle
Michelle was played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who were credited jointly as 'Mary Kate Ashley Olsen' for most of the run so viewers would not realise the role was shared by twins.

Culver City
Q 21Which character was known for her frequent use of the catchphrase 'How rude!'?

Q 14Which character frequently exclaimed 'Cut it out!' accompanied by a distinctive hand gesture?

Q 15What happens to Michelle after she is thrown from a horse in Full House's two-part series finale?

Q 16What instrument did Uncle Jesse play as frontman of his rock band?
Guitar
Guitar is Jesse's instrument on stage; the music was no act for John Stamos, who has toured and recorded with the Beach Boys in real life.
Q 17Which NBA great plays himself as the referee of a charity game in Full House's 'Air Jesse'?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Q 18Which character once briefly got engaged to Kimmy Gibbler and was known for his catchphrase 'Whatever'?

Q 19What does Stephanie let Kimmy do behind Danny's back in Full House's sixth season?
Pierce her ears
Pierce her ears: Danny had said she must wait until junior high, as D.J. did, so Stephanie goes to Kimmy instead and ends up at the doctor with infected earlobes.
