Full House stars surprised by creator's 'controversial' pick for one of the worst episodes of the series
Full House creator Jeff Franklin identified 'Tanner's Island,' the first episode of season three, as one of the show's worst, citing its lack of storyline and emotional depth. Speaking on the How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast, Franklin described the Hawaii -set episode as 'silly' and 'from another planet,' criticizing its unrealistic plot progression. The episode depicted the Tanner family seemingly stranded on a deserted island in Hawaii, only to discover they were on the wrong side, culminating in an impromptu concert. Co-hosts Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who starred in the show, initially expressed surprise but ultimately understood Franklin's assessment. Sweetin further elaborated on the difficulties of filming outside the soundstage, including production mishaps and Franklin's injury, though she fondly recalled swimming with dolphins.

'Full House' creator admits 'this' episode is one of the show's 'worst': 'It was just from another planet'
Full House creator Jeff Franklin recently shared what he thought was one of the series' "worst" episodes, which may be a surprise to some fans. 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 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. Listen to the full How Rude, Tanneritos! episode with Jeff Franklin below. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
