Widowed father Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) raises his three daughters — D.J. (Candace Cameron), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (The Olsen Twins) — in San Francisco with the help of his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and best buddy Joey Gladstone (Dave Collier). Pesky neighbor Kimmy Gibbler pops in from time to time, too. The sitcom ran for eight seasons, from 1987 to 1995, becoming a staple of family viewing.
