Full House (TV Series) Driving Miss D.J. (1992) User Reviews

The One Where D.J. Drives...

[taylorkingston · 7/10 · 25 June 2015]

I think this episode is really good. I enjoy it every time I watch it. I always think that D.J. is too casual when it comes to driving, but that Danny is too uptight. They need to find a common middle ground.

In this episode, D.J. finally gets her drivers learners permit, and she cannot wait to get behind the wheel. But when she goes out with Danny, she gets very tense and frustrated by his lack of calm or cool when teaching her how to drive. Jesse doesn't prove to be a good instructor either, as he is very similar to Danny. Meanwhile, Stephanie delights in torturing Michelle, who is being very annoying.

Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

Cruisin'

[Movie-ManDan · 7/10 · 3 March 2019]

I'm sure every kid has been through what happens to DJ. She is a normal teenager that is just trying to drive like a normal person. But nobody can teach her like how it can be taught.

Having just got her learner's permit, Danny teaches DJ how to drive. He doesn't want DJ to drive, so he overreacts to everything DJ does behind the wheel. After a bad day with her dad, Jesse steps in to help. But his overly laid back attitude causes DJ to scratch his mustang. These polar opposites can have such negative effects on everyone.

First subplot involves Stephanie scarring Michelle for bugging her. The other has Becky wanting a family portrait done. This is very brief, but cute.

So this episode isn't bad. It is relatable. Lots of parents freak out when their kids drive. And the effect of polar opposites is done well here too.
