The first season of the family sitcom Full House originally aired on ABC from September 22, 1987 to May 6, 1988.
In the first season, shortly after Danny's wife Pam dies, Jesse, Danny's brother-in-law, and Joey, Danny's best friend since high school, move in to help him with his three daughters, Donna Jo (DJ), Stephanie, and Michelle.
Three months after a car accident kills his wife, Danny Tanner recruits his brother-in-law (Jesse) and his friend (Joey) to move in and help raise his three daughters, 10-year-old D.J., 5-year-old Stephanie, and baby Michelle. Jesse and Joey's first day as "dads" includes changing a diaper and dealing with D.J. wanting her own room instead of sharing one with Stephanie.
Stephanie is afraid of going to kindergarten, so Danny, Joey, and Jesse join her for her first day of school. D.J. is also unhappy about school when her best friend, Kimmy Gibbler, is placed in a separate classroom from her.
When Grandma Tanner visits the Tanner house and sees how messy it is, she invites Joey's and Jesse's mothers to come over as well. The guys' mothers threaten to move in unless the house gets clean.
The station where Danny works is filming promos showing the members of their news team at home, which means a camera crew will be coming to the house. Everything seems to be in place when a woman named Ronnie Gardner shows up at the house for the filming, but Danny is perplexed when her methods of producing spicy television include dressing Jesse up as an English maid, having perfect French girls, replacing sweet baby Michelle with an unknown child and completely removing Joey from the picture, so Danny needs to tell Mrs. Gardner off and show the viewers the real Tanner family. As all this is going on, Jesse and Joey try hard to locate the source of some strange animal noises in the house, which turns out to be a ferret.
D.J. is starting to like acting after being in a play and auditions for a cereal commercial. At her audition, Stephanie comes along and plays with her cereal, and the people there in charge of the auditions notice her and like her – instantly calling her adorable – and give Stephanie the part, which leads to some sibling rivalry back at home when D.J. accuses Stephanie of stealing her part.
