Jodie Sweetin Recalls Filming the “Full House” Episode that 'Was Not One of My Favorites'

Though season 3's "Granny Tanny" had some sweet moments, there was some discord, too, the actress shares

A lot happened in the season 3 episode of Full House, "Granny Tanny." But despite some sweet moments between John Stamos' Uncle Jesse and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's Michelle Tanner, it wasn't a favorite of some cast members, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber said on the July 22 episode of their rewatch podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos!

In the episode, which first aired on Oct. 20, 1989, Danny Tanner's (Bob Saget) mom Claire comes to visit, feeling a bit down and unneeded since her retirement. But, as Barber pointed out, "this isn't the original Claire Tanner — this is a recast."

Dallas and Ellen star Alice Hirson first played Claire Tanner on season 1 of Full House, with Doris Roberts stepping into the role for this episode. And while they lauded the late Roberts' incredible career — which includes five Emmy wins — "I did not connect with this grandma Claire as much as I did the first one," Sweetin, 42, admitted.

"There was something about the original grandma — and this sounds so awful — that had a warmth to her," she continued. "This doesn't seem like Danny's mom. The original Claire felt like Danny's mom."

"I agree with that," Barber, 48, said. "It's hard to put into words."

"This character felt a little more overbearing and pushy," Sweetin added. "When you watch her ... she's a little more deadpan and a little less effusive than the original grandma Claire was."

"I feel bad because Doris Roberts, she was so incredible on many levels," said Barber, adding that perhaps they should have asked series creator Jeff Franklin to call in and discuss the episode's casting and writing. "I wonder if the original grandma Claire wasn't available or if they were just like, 'Oh, Doris Roberts! Let's get what we get on her, we'll write this episode for her.' "

Because of the disconnect, "this was not one of my favorite episodes," Sweetin said.

However, "Granny Tanny" also featured some memorable moments, like one of Michelle Tanner's earliest "You got it, dude" lines, which Barber remembered as "the first time the audience goes wild for it."

"They really loved this ... this was a successful one," Sweetin added, with Barber joking, "I can just see [Jeff Franklin] with his pencil being like, 'Oh that was a big hit. We're going to include that in the rest of the series.' "

It also featured the introduction of Michelle's iconic pencil bed.

"How many fanneritos wanted this bed at night back in 1989? So cute," Barber said.

The Olsens stole the show with sweet scenes about the bed's height and being able to jump on it — despite Uncle Jesse's warnings — with delivery and facial expressions that were "so cute," Barber said. "[We were] watching the girls learn how to act."

"It's so great to watch," Sweetin added. "She did a great job."

Seeing Uncle Jesse snuggle Michelle as she fell asleep in her bed for the first time was equally "sweet," Barber added. "This got me right in the feels."
