"Tanner's Island" is the premier episode in the third season of Full House.
The Tanner family, with Rebecca in tow, take a vacation to Hawaii, but tension flares up when things don't go as Danny planned.
Tropes in this episode include:
- Dramatic Pause: This is how the Tanner family members express their shock at their boat drifting away into the ocean.Michelle: Bye-bye, boat.
D.J.: How cute. Michelle's saying bye-bye to... [the camera cuts to their boat out in the ocean] our boat!
Danny: Oh, don't be silly. I tied up the boat right — [points to the fallen branches at the shore where there's no boat nearby before a grumpy Jesse takes Danny's arm and swings in the direction of the drifting boat] THERE! - Littering Is No Big Deal: Being tossed away into the ocean is the kind of treatment Danny's "clipboard of fun" is subjected to, once everyone is getting tired and grouchy for a vacation that has gone wrong and left everyone stranded, though it gets repeatedly washed ashore.
- Running Gag: Danny's "clipboard of fun" keeps coming back to shore after being tossed into the sea.
- Shout-Out: To Gilligan's Island. When they end up stranded after their boat drifts away from shore, Joey mentions what the Professor would do.
- Vacation Episode: The family plus Rebecca take a trip to Hawaii, with the episode filmed on location in Oahu.
