The Transition.

[Movie-ManDan · 7/10 · 11 April 2016]

This episode is the perfect bridge for the second season. In most cases, characters change in slight ways only when you really look at them. This episode examines the change.

Michelle is old enough to walk and talk and DJ's hair look more 80s. Other than that, everything, look-wise, is the same. Well, it just starts that way. The start of the episode with Jesse's mullet is clearly a hairpiece. When it comes off, a new chapter of John Stamos' career begins. Say goodbye to Blackie Parish!

Stephanie enjoys giving people pretend haircuts, so she promises to be careful with Jesse. Everybody knows how in love Jesse is with his hair. A simple distraction causes her to snip a huge chunk from the back of Jesse's hair. Angry, Jesse gets a real haircut and his fury distracts him from a sign that costs him his motorcycle and almost his life. His arms are broken and Stephanie feels guilty. Although generic, the plot with Jesse and Stephanie is warm.

Jesse then sees it as a sign for him to change, as he has been in a rut for the last ten years.

Good to see the start of the new era and new Jesse.

The new Jesse

[mitchrmp · 7/10 · 9 December 2013]

In this first episode of season 2, Jesse has made some changes in his life. Well, actually Stephanie made a boo-boo which made Jesse make some changes in his life. After being forced to cut his hair, Jess is mad at Stephanie and the situation and crashes his bike, breaking both of his arms. Stephanie feels she's a jinx and refuses to touch her uncle.

Michelle's a little older and is starting to talk, and the idea of Danny's OCS that was flirted with at the end of Season one is now full-blown. This is the personality he will carry for the rest of the show's life.

We also have a name change in one of the characters. Jesse Cochran is now Jesse Katsopolis, to mark John Stamos' Greek heritage.

Get ready for some changes this season! It's going to be exciting.

The One Where Jesse Get's A Haircut

[taylorkingston · 8/10 · 15 January 2014]

I absolutely loved this episode. It was such a simple concept. Jesse loves his hair, make him go crazy about losing some of it. I especially love when Stephanie asks him to play pretend hair dresser, and he freaks out about her using real scissors. I also love when Stephanie is pretending to cut Jesse's hair and she asks him, "So, did you hear who Miss Piggy's been dating lately?" It is such a funny quote. Once she unintentionally cuts part of his hair off, he gets so upset. He leaves the house and comes after he gets into a motorcycle accident. His arms are both in braces and have both been broken. As a result, Stephanie blames herself for his accident. She grounds herself until she's eighty-two years old. I always felt so bad for her. I mean she was just playing a game and she didn't mean to get Jesse hurt. Poor Stephanie. Jesse eventually forgives Stephanie in a really cute scene, which I also love. Overall, great episode, funny moments, I give it 8/10.
