'Full House' creator admits 'this' episode is one of the show's 'worst': 'It was just from another planet'
Franklin joined Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin on the most recent episode of the How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast to discuss the highs and lows of the Full House's third season.
When asked what he believed was the worst episode of season 3, Franklin shared his "controversial" pick: "Tanner's Island," the season premiere.
"It had so much potential and cost so much money," Franklin said. "And we went to so much trouble and it was so silly. It had no real storyline. It had no emotional through line. Nobody learned a thing."
"Tanner's Island" is the first episode of season 3. It follows the Tanner family's hijinks during their vacation to Hawaii. They sail to a seemingly deserted island, then lose their boat, causing mayhem. Uncle Joey (Dave Coulier) gets hit in the head with a coconut. The gang later realizes they are actually near a Polynesian cultural center and Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) ends the episode by singing an Elvis Presley song.Barber and Sweetin expressed surprise at Franklin's choice, but agreed that, while "Tanner's Island" was fun to shoot, it was not a strong episode.
"It was just from another planet," Franklin said.

'It's scary at moments': Creators say 'Wednesday' season 2 will bring real stakes and fear
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you thought 'Wednesday' was creepy and kooky before, season 2 is about to crank the horror up several notches. According to the show's creators, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the new season won't just flirt with spooky but dive headfirst into intense territory. When speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Millar said: 'There's some moments which are definitely horror movie-worthy. We have that in season 1, but I think this season there are moments that are very intense, I'll say.' He added: 'Season 2 definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we're very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. 'We want to make sure that it's never torture porn, but that there's enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it's scary at moments. And I think that's the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror.' After getting an early glimpse of 'Wednesday' season 2 through the official trailer (which included the first six minutes of the premiere) fans were recently treated to even more footage thanks to a brand-new trailer from the streaming service. In a chilling moment, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) has a premonition that her friend Enid (Emma Myers) is going to die, and that she'll be the one responsible. The creators also teased a shift toward a more 'complex mystery' in season 2, and it looks like Wednesday's unsettling premonition might be at the heart of it. Gough said: 'I also just feel like the world is bigger and you get to really explore other characters.' I'm genuinely glad this season is taking a darker turn as it just feels right for Wednesday. The blend of gothic horror and biting humor is what makes the Addams universe so iconic, and leaning further into the intense, eerie side of things only makes the world feel richer and more true to its roots. Ortega even said herself (h/t Vanity Fair): 'I think the feel that we're going for is a little bit more horror-inspired. Not to say that suddenly we're the goriest show of all time. I mean, there's six-year-olds watching. [For example], we're doing this thing now where Wednesday just kind of appears. She is a little bit of a jump scare herself.' "Wednesday" season 2 will be released on Netflix in two parts: Part 1 on August 6, and part 2 on September 3.

Worst TV Sitcom Characters Of All Time
We all have those TV characters we absolutely love! For example, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't absolutely love Sophia, Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose on The Golden Girls. But just as memorable are the ones who drive us completely up the wall. Whether they're annoying sidekicks, overly dramatic main characters, or just plain unlikeable, some sitcom figures manage to be very, very divisive. Recently, redditor Final_Target_4274 wanted to know about the divisive sitcom characters when they asked: "Who is the worst sitcom character of all time?" Well, people had OPINIONS! Below are the top and most often repeated sitcom characters that people just can not stand: "Urkel on Family Matters. Dude was annoying, yet became popular, and then took over the whole fucking show. Kimmy Gibbler was similarly annoying, but never became the focal point." —Efficient-Hornet8666 "Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. Her neediness was only surpassed by her inability to take a hint. Her awkwardness made me feel second-hand embarrassment." —MerriweatherJones "Rachel Green on Friends. She is a real bitch and is actually one of the worst characters in any TV show." —LordCoke-16"Rachel is actually the most appalling. She is such a difficult character to like. Any person who likes to portray her as a victim, I immediately think less of."—Odd_Firefighter_8193 "Whoever Idris Elba was on The Office." —Marshiznit"Charles Miner and he's aware of the effect he has on women."—Vikingaling "Beverly Hofstadter on The Big Bang Theory must enter this chat. NOTE: I adore the actress, and I think the character is brilliant. But Beverly is objectively awful across every category. Truly nailed it." —SkatingNerd4Life "Seven on Married... with Children." —VStarlingBooks"Unwatchable episodes!"—mayfare15 "I don't know if it counts, but I dislike Gene Belcher of Bob's Burgers. I dunno what rubs me wrong, maybe just the general grossness of his jokes? Or his personality. He's the weakest link." —nazieatmyass "Randy on Season 8 of That '70s Show. and it's not even close." —Flat-Artichoke4289"Randy is totally inoffensive. He's a lightning rod for hate because of the circumstances of his arrival. A shame it really put the brakes on Josh Meyers' career because I thought he was great on MadTV."—Luchalma89 "Jim from According to Jim." —FrequentLunch2711"Today, I coincidentally looked up how long this terrible show was on, and it somehow was on for eight seasons. I've never found Jim Belushi to be funny at any point in his career, including this garbage show."—PHX480 "I really liked Cheers, but I couldn't bear Diane. An awful character that I felt was really badly portrayed. I understand that many people loved her, which baffles me! Maybe her character didn't 'travel' outside the USA!" —Automatic-Scale-7572 "Nellie from The Office." —johndhall1130"Nellie was annoying because of the storyline. It was frustrating that she just claimed Andy's job, just because he had one day off to sort out things with Erin. That's not how jobs work."—Sean_13 "Frank Grimes from The Simpsons." —Plane-Tie6392"Good ole Grimey…"—Madduxfan31-97 "Doug Heffernan on King of Queens. He acts like a perpetual teenager. He expects Carrie to do everything around the house despite having a demanding job of her own." —rachel_ct "Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory. Her character changes from one episode to another. She does a 180 within the same episode. Strong personality traits yet completely undefined as a character." —blackrain1709 "Principal Belding on Saved by the Bell. He was obsessed with Zack and even followed him from elementary school to high school." —szatrob "Phoebe was the worst character on Friends. I enjoy Lisa Kudrow outside of that role. Just hate Phoebe as a character. She was a terrible friend; she almost cost all of them their jobs." —Mr-Mortgages "Raymond on Everybody Loves Raymond." —Noshitsweregiven69"Fucking Ray Barone. I remember seeing a few odd episodes growing up and laughing... tried to watch from the beginning as an adult a couple of years back and that show was fucking garbage. Like, I could not even get through the first season, but it did make a lot of people's careers, so there's that, I guess."—Global_Intern_9248 "The neighbor/ carpenter guy on Schitt's Creek. I can't stand him." —SurrrenderDorothy "Gina Linetti on Brooklyn Nine-Nine is just an awful person who the rest of the cast gaslit the audience into thinking was awesome." —JustSomeBloke5353 "The wife, Jill, from Home Improvement. She just lacked any kind of joy and was a vortex in the home that would suck up any happiness her sons or husband brought." —Scambuster666 "Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory." —Away_Ad_5390"THANK YOU! What an obnoxious character — and completely unrealistic that he would have any friends at all given the way he treated literally everyone who knew him like total crap."—phm522 "Tom Haverford on Parks and Rec. The character, to me, was just a bad person who had no redeeming qualities." —skipper_jonas_grumby "I'm sure this is unpopular, but Michael Scott. I can't fucking stand him, and every time I try to watch the show, I give up after half a season. Still haven't made it past season 5, and I don't plan to ever finish it." —Goldfishyyy You can read the original thread on Reddit.
