The Best Teen Shows From The '80s

If the two dads in "My Two Dads" aren't enough for you, hopefully the three wacky male parental figures in "Full House" will suffice. "Full House" began airing on ABC in 1987, lasting eight seasons and making stars out of its cast, especially Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who went on to build a profitable media empire before transitioning into fashion. Heck, even the house from the opening credits has become famous.

"Full House" focused on widower Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) and the two men — close friend and lovable goofball Joey (Dave Coulier) and hunky brother-in-law Jesse (John Stamos) — he enlisted to help raise his three daughters after the death of his wife. They all lived under one roof, which eventually became even more crowded with the addition of Jesse's wife Rebecca (Lori Loughlin) and their twins.

As D.J. (Candace Cameron), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and Michelle (the Olsen twins, alternating off) grew up onscreen, thousands of teens saw them as mirrors of their own experience (except, you know, that whole three dads thing). Storylines dealt with real teen issues such as peer pressure, bullying, and dating, and fantastically unrealistic ones, like when Michelle fell off her horse and got amnesia or when Stephanie drove a car through the exterior of the house and into the kitchen. Known for its heart as much as its cheesiness, "Full House" resonated so strongly with teens of its generation that it spawned books, dolls, and all sorts of other merchandise — and eventually even the revival "Fuller House," which aired for five seasons on Netflix.
