MAD #297, September 1990

Bob Saget was hosting America's Funniest Home Videos at the same time he was starring in this, but this parody has nothing to do with that show except a voice-over narration.

Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) was the youngest of the three daughters. The other daughters were Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and D. J. (Candace Cameron). The premise of the show was that Danny Tanner (Saget) was a recently divorced father, and had his brother-in-law Jesse (John Stamos) and Joey (Dave Coulier) help him take care of his daughters.
Samples of the one-liners are below.

This was done four years later. By this time, Jesse had a wife Rebecca (Lori Loughlin) and had two sons, Nicky and Alex (Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilholt). Funny how earlier the youngest child was played by twins since children are usually played by twins because of child labor laws, but when it came time to bring in younger children, the characters were twins on the show.
Waco, Texas was the location of a religious cult that had a standoff and shootout with the government around this time.
The Olsen Twins became famous pop sensations for fifteen minutes in real life.
Lori Loughlin is probably better known for her stint in prison for falsifying her daughter's college application.

  1. Not to "actually" you but Bob Saget's character is a widower, not a divorcee.
