    Does Enough For Me To Like.

    This episode is a telethon that 'Wake Up San Fransisco' hosts to get new equipment for the children's hospital. Ive seen telethons before and they can get quite boring. The 24 hour telethon in this episode keeps all he fun for us.

    The only things to highlight are the acts in the telethon. That's really are there it to this. Jesse & The Rippers play, Joey imitates Steven Tyler, DJ sings a mega-corny song about candy, Stephanie dances to "Love Shack" Joey performs magic, and Mike Love sings at the end. These little segments make this episode decent.

      Danny Tanner: I close my eyes for two seconds and it's a Kimmy Gibbler telethon.

      Joey: Danny, you've been out for four hours.

      Danny Tanner: [checks his watch] Four hours. Why didn't anyone wake me? Oh no, I'm ruined, I ruined the telethon, my career is over...

      Becky: Danny, we're still on the air.

      Danny Tanner: [to camera] That concludes the dramatic portion of our show.
