Full House Season 7 opening

Season seven of Full House, which aired during the 1993–94 television season, has 24 episodes.

Plot[]

This time around, Jesse inherits the Smash Club, the venue where his band used to play. Joey falls for a comedienne who is into insult humor. And Danny wins a perfect-couple contest with an unlikely fiancee. The girls are busy too. Michelle enters a soapbox derby. D.J. sweats the SATs. And Stephanie starts a new school and makes a surprising new friend. But the biggest surprise comes when Danny gets an offer on the Tanner house at double its value. In this season, Michelle turns seven years old and starts the second grade, Stephanie turns eleven and starts as a sixth grader in junior high school, and D.J. turns sixteen and becomes a junior.

Opening-credits Sequence[]

The credits for the adult actors (Stamos, Saget, Coulier, and Loughlin) were filmed on location in San Francisco. This sequence was used from seasons four to seven. The girls are introduced on the set, showing D.J. riding a treadmill, Stephanie talking on the phone while sitting on her bed, Michelle coming home from riding her bike, Kimmy lounging on the bed, and Steve playing football. Also, Nicky and Alex are in the opening credits for the first time and are seen with Comet. The remainder of the sequence remains unchanged, including the only two opening images (the family getting off a Powell & Market Sts. cable car as it stops, and then running towards the camera with no updates).

In syndication[]

As was the case last season, repeats of this season bypass the opening verse of the theme song, and go straight to the chorus.

Main Cast[]

Production changes[]

With Warner Communications' purchase of Lorimar-Telepictures/Lorimar Television in 1989, Warner Bros. Television officially took over production for the final two seasons; thus, Dave Coulier's syndication closing voiceover is changed to reflect this. In addition, the copyright notice adds that the show is "Taped at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California".

Personnel changes[]

Tom Amundsen is promoted to producer, leaving Bonnie Bogard and Tom Burkhard as the remaining co-producers, and Miles Kristman becomes coordinating producer.
