John Stamos, beloved for his role as Uncle Jesse in the iconic sitcom "Full House," revealed in his new memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me," that he initially wanted to leave the show after the pilot episode. Stamos describes his dissatisfaction vividly, recounting how he rushed to call his agent, demanding, "Get me the f—k off this show!" He felt trapped in what he called a "family-friendly hell" and was convinced the show would fail. However, he decided to fulfill his contractual obligation and hoped to move on to a better project soon.
Despite his initial doubts, "Full House" found its footing thanks to a strategic scheduling move. ABC decided to place the show after one of their biggest hits, "Perfect Strangers," during summer reruns. This change brought "Full House" into the top ten ratings, and by the second season, the show had garnered a loyal audience. Stamos was surprised by the show's success, which eventually led to the sitcom becoming a staple of 90s television and securing its place in pop culture history.
