No Milkman But There Was a Paperboy: Full House Theme Song Analysis

 The Full House theme song actually foreshadowed quite a bit of the episodes to come on the show. There were a few versions of the theme song in the 8 seasons of the show but let's take a look at the one below:   What ever happened to predictability?   You ask the question, viewers, you will receive a show full of it!  Every problem that wasn't resolved in thirty minutes got a part two added to it and was resolved in sixty.
The milk man, the paper boy, evening TV  I don't think they had a milkman, but Ricky was the paper boy that DJ was in love with!  And when the show first began Danny worked as a sports anchor for a local evening TV station.
You miss your old familiar friends, but waiting just around the bend.  We (especially Michelle) all missed Teddy when he moved to Texas and we (especially Danny) all missed Vicky when she moved to New York.

Everywhere you look (everywhere)  Steve Urkel helped Stephanie deal with her new four-eyed self when she got glasses!
There's a heart (there's a heart)
A hand to hold on to. Fun fact: Mary-Kate Olsen is left-handed and Ashley Olsen is right-handed so that is why Michelle is ambidextrous.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a face of somebody who needs you. There was a nerd, Walter, in season one whom Stephanie befriended thanks to Uncle Jesse and everyone called him a duckface.  Stephanie becomes Mrs. Duckface.

When you're lost out there and you're all alone  Who can forget when Comet was lost in San Francisco for a day?  Fun fact: Comet's Excellent Adventure was the only episode shot in SF.
A light is waiting to carry you home  Luckily when Michelle fell off her horse in the first of the final two episodes, she did not see a light waiting to carry her home.  And she regained her memory and all was good in the world!
Everywhere you look.
