Full House Fact #10: The show initially was going to have a ninth season. However, John Stamos announced that the eighth season would be his last. Candace Cameron Bure also planned on the eighth season as her last, doing guest appearances during the ninth season as her character D.J. came home to visit from college during the holidays, as Candace in real life was planning on going to college after season eight. After these two announced their departures, the others decided that it was time to call it quits, and the writers decided the series had gone as far as it could go, and the eighth season ended up being the final season for Full House.
