      Nicky Katsopolis: Weenie.

      Jesse Katsopolis: No jokes. Sit down. Put the chair down, and sit down. Look, we're all on the same team here, let's just do this time-out thing and get it over with.

      [Nicky and Alex give Bronx cheers]

    Nicky and Alex: Bad Boys.

    I never cared for this. I know it often hurts parents to discipline their children, but Jesse and Becky have no backbone. They are much worse than when Michelle was a toddler.

    The twins are out of control. Ever since the permanent actors got cast, Jesse and Becky laugh when they do bad things. Remember when Nicky erased Jesse's school work on his laptop? Well they do worse here and it is pretty believable. The family is fed up with the twins being out of control, so the parents must take charge if they can. Jesse puts them in a timeout and they call him "mean daddy" which devastates him.

    The subplot is just okay. Vicky cooks a new meal for the family and Danny bribes the girls into indulging it.

    The second episode of season 4 has the same premise but with Michelle. watch that instead of this.
