Trivia

  • Jesse was originally named "Uncle Adam", until John Stamos decided that he liked "Jesse" better.
  • Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen got the part of Michelle because they were the only twin babies that didn't cry at the audition.
  • Bob Saget considered leaving the show after the first season due to his disapproval of the writing and story lines.
  • By the sixth season, the Olsen twins started to look so different from each other to the point that most audiences could tell them apart. The producers considered just giving Mary-Kate Olsen the role. However, their fan base at the time was so huge, and co-star John Stamos didn't want one twin to leave the show, so both girls were kept in the role.
  • Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen appeared together onscreen four times during the show's run.
  • At first, the producers didn't want viewers to know that Michelle was played by twins. Originally, they were credited as Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen. In the eighth and final season, however, they were credited as Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen respectively.
  • In order for Michelle to get involved with comedic and serious moments, Mary-Kate Olsen chose to do the former while Ashley Olsen did the latter.
  • Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen nearly left the show after the first season because their real-life mother was concerned about them missing out on having a "normal" childhood. After a significant raise in salary from the show's producers, she agreed to let them continue. Their mother also let them stay due to the fact that they became so popular.
