Looking back, it just wasn’t our show. It felt forced and out of place.”

Franklin’s willingness to be so honest about a moment of creative misjudgment is a testament to his dedication to preserving the integrity of Full House. He emphasized that the show's success was built on its wholesome family values and relatable characters, and that episode deviated from that core formula.

The podcast hosts, Barber and Sweetin (who played Kimmy Gibbler), were equally intrigued by Franklin’s revelation. They playfully teased him about the episode, prompting him to elaborate on the creative process behind it and why it ultimately didn't make the cut. The discussion highlighted the challenges of balancing innovation with maintaining a show's established identity.
