How many seasons did Full House air?

The story behind the answer

Full House aired for eight seasons. The ABC sitcom began on September 22, 1987, and ended on May 23, 1995, producing 192 episodes during its original run.

The series followed widowed sportscaster Danny Tanner as he raised D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle in San Francisco with help from Jesse Katsopolis and Joey Gladstone. Although its first season struggled in the ratings, the show gained an audience and became a dependable ABC hit. From the third season onward, it regularly ranked among television’s most-watched programs and later became closely associated with the network’s TGIF family-comedy lineup.

The eighth season was also the show’s final season. ABC canceled Full House in 1995 largely because production costs were rising, even though the program remained popular. The number eight refers to the original series, not its sequel: Fuller House premiered on Netflix in 2016 and ran for five seasons. Another common confusion is episode count; the show had 192 episodes, but those episodes were distributed across eight seasons rather than ten or nine.
