Have Mercy! Full House Celebrates 29th Anniversary

Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paper boy - even MTV?!

It's hard to believe that Full House entered our lives 29 years ago. We've all watched as Michelle, Stephanie and DJ Tanner grew into young women. We laughed and cried with them as they navigated the world with the help of their main men - dad, Danny, and uncles Joey and Jesse.

As the 90's rolled on, the family grew with the addition of Becky and later, the exciting birth of the twins - Nicky and Alex.

It was a departure from the typical family unit - exploring what it might be like for single "dads" to raise girls and we all loved it! There was something totally special about the bond between these men and their girls that spoke to the daughter in all of us.

Check out this flashback to the days when everywhere you looked, there was a place, and somebody who needed you.

The first episode aired on September 22, 1987

Look how young they were!

DJ was the oldest daughter  - whatever she did, the other two were quick to follow!

She knew how to talk her way out of trouble...

       Giphy    

She usually walked in on her younger sisters getting into mischief...

She always did her best to help them out of it

Although she did have a pretty sweet romance with Steve,

       Giphy    

She was always true to herself

Stephanie was the middle sister -

She had a signature phrase that we ALL said...

       Giphy    

And she was the queen of come-backs, especially with Kimmie Gibbler

Michelle was the baby

       Giphy    

She was unbearably adorable,

       Giphy    

She always had her priorities straight,

       Giphy    

And she could be sassy sometimes, which we loved -

       Giphy    

       Giphy    

The sarcasm was strong with this one.

       Giphy    

We've grown up with these girls...

And, although "Michelle" is busy running her fashion empire in New York,

29 years later, Steph, DJ and Kimmie are raising their own kids in an even Fuller house!

Some things never change!

'Beverly Hills: 90210' Revival Looks Like It Will Feature A Lot Of Familiar Faces

Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person.

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

"Sunny day! Sweepin' the clouds away! On my way to where the air is sweet! Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?" It's a song we all know off by heart no matter how old we are now because it was literally one of the most important parts of our days. Sesame Street was a staple in almost every household. Those Muppets were our teachers and our friends before we made our way into elementary school or daycare, and they gave us a lot of life lessons that taught us how to be a
