 | Uncle Jesse- "Forever" |
Arguably one of the best television shows of the 80s/90s, Full House kept viewers entertained every Friday night in the TGIF (Thank God Its Funny) time slot of 8PM on ABC. Placed in the same schedule slot as the former hit shows, The Brady Bunch," "Webster" and "Diff'rent Strokes, Full House became an instant hit for the ABC network, premiering in September of 1987. One of the most sought out episodes and anticipated by Nick At Night viewers world wide, is the ever so famous Wedding Episode, Part 2. Why is this particular episode so special? This my friends is the episode that Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) sings the best love song ever sang on prime time television to his bride to be Aunt Becky (Lori Loughlin).
The best ever love song ever sang on prime time television is the song entitled Forever.
The Wedding (2) episode #87 originally aired on February 15th, 1991 in Season 4 of the shows 8 year run. Here is a synopsis of that episode. (b: 15-Feb-1991 w: Jeff Franklin d: Joel Zwick, www.tvtome.com)
Full House- The Wedding (2): A tomato filled truck driven by a tomato farmer parks under Jesse, who releases himself from the parachute, and falls safely into the bed of the truck. The farmer tells Jesse he's in a town known as "Tomato Country". Jesse then tries to use the farmer's truck to go to the church for the wedding, but that's when a cop shows up. By now, it's 10:25am, and Jesse is 25 minutes late for the wedding. The phone at the church rings, and it's Jesse, who tells Becky that he's in jail in Tomato Country. Becky heads to the jail and gets Jesse released. They make it back to the church, where they are pronounced husband and wife. After a party at the Tanner home, Jesse and Becky leave for their honeymoon.
It is during the wedding vows when Uncle Jesse sings this song to the soon to be Aunt Becky.
Forever
If every word I said could make you laugh
I'd talk forever (together my love)
I asked the sky just what we had
It shone forever (together my love)
If the song I sing to you could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever (together my love)
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
Let the love I have for you
Live in your heart and be forever (together my love)
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
If every word I said could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
Forever, forever
I'll be so happy loving you
Originally written by Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys almost 20 years earlier, Uncle Jesse singing Forever shattered all previous notions of love ever seen or heard before on prime time television.
Now, just 14 years later, I still cringe in sheer ecstasy and joy every time this episode reruns on either Nick at Night or TBS.
Im not alone.
Karen Glass from Vincennes, Indiana also feels the same way. (Karen Glass describes in her online blog, the song Forever, and what it means to her) Well (I) downloaded the song and it just bring (s me) back (to the) good times and just gives me a good feeling. Ms. Glass continues by asking the question; if you really remember this episode or have heard this song ---originally from the Beach Boys--- did you like it?
Please visit her blog to give your answer. Karen's Blog about the song "Forever".
Did I like it? You sure as hell bet I did Karen! And I still do! I will always consider Forever, the song written by the Beach Boys, and made popular by Uncle Jesse, the best ever love song ever sang on primetime televisionForever!
