Full House
1. Because Mary-Kate and Ashley were losing different teeth at different times, they had to wear fake teeth towards the end of the series to keep up the facade that Michelle Tanner was one person.
2. John Stamos almost had the Olsen twins fired while filming the pilot. He hated how much they cried while filming, but the producers disliked the red-headed twins who replaced them, so they brought back Mary-Kate and Ashley.
3. Originally, Lori Loughlin who played Aunt Becky was only hired on for six episodes.
4. Actor John Posey originally starred as Danny Tanner in an unaired pilot of the show. (And yes, John Posey is the father of Tyler Posey, Scott McCall of MTV's Teen Wolf.)

14. In Seasons 1-6, the opening credits spell actress Staci Keanan's name with an i at the end of her name. In Season 7, they changed the spelling of her name to end with a y instead. The reasoning behind this change, or even mistake, has never been explained.
15. The opening of the show is at an amusement park that is supposed to be located on the shores of Lake Michigan. The amusement park is actually Six Flags Magic Mountain, located in Valencia, Calif.

28. Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" was the original theme song for the first season.
29. When Jaimee Foxworth, the actress who played Judy Winslow, asked for a raise, producers took her out of the show with no explanation. Foxworth went on to appear in pornographic films under the name "Crave."

38. Over the course of the the show, Cory and the gang skipped a total of two school grades.
39. Scenes between Eric and Shawn were limited because they became such good friends over the course of the series that it was hard for them to shoot scenes without constantly laughing at each other.

Miss you, TGIF.
