Who is the creator of the television series Full House?

Jeff Franklin created the television series Full House. The sitcom premiered on ABC on September 22, 1987, and followed widowed father Danny Tanner as he raised his three daughters with help from his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and best friend Joey Gladstone.

Franklin originally developed the concept under the working title House of Comics, about comedians living together. When ABC wanted a family-oriented sitcom, he reshaped the idea around children and a widowed parent. That change produced the Tanner household and the show's distinctive blend of family drama, comedy, and sentimental lessons.

Franklin also wrote, directed, and executive-produced episodes during the show's run. Full House lasted eight seasons and 192 episodes, ending on May 23, 1995. Franklin later created and executive-produced Fuller House, the Netflix sequel that reunited much of the original cast.

A common mix-up is crediting Bob Saget, John Stamos, or James Burrows. Saget and Stamos were major cast members, while Burrows directed the unaired pilot, but none was the series creator. Franklin is the canonical answer.
