In Full House, the father played by Bob Saget is named Danny Tanner.
Danny is a widowed father raising his three daughters in San Francisco. Because he needs help caring for them, his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and friend Joey Gladstone move into the household, creating the show’s central extended-family arrangement.
The sitcom premiered on ABC in 1987 and ran for eight seasons. Its stories usually combine family comedy with lessons about responsibility, communication, friendship, and growing up.
Bob Saget played Danny throughout the original series. John Stamos played Jesse and Dave Coulier played Joey, so the three adult men are sometimes confused when the show is remembered. Danny’s daughters are D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle Tanner.
