Trivia
In this episode, Jesse introduces himself after "Jesse Cochran." In every future episode, his last name is "Katsopolis." It was found out that Cochran was his stage name cause he felt it sounded more rock and roll.

Goofs
When Joey is telling his story, the family is planning to watch "The Wizard of Oz." However, after Joey does his (very short) Wizard of Oz bit, it is suddenly time for the girls to get their pajamas on and get ready for bed.

Quotes
Corrina Spicer: I love kids, that's why I became a teacher.
Joey Gladstone: That's why I refused to grow up.
Corrina Spicer: You seem pretty grown up to me.
Joey Gladstone: Oh yeah, I'm the only guy in the world with Abe Lincoln's head on a stick.

I Wish That I Had...

Jesse's Girl, like the Rick Springfield song, is an episode that was bound to happen. Three single guys living together will eventually become rivals with trying to find a girl. This episode may have a flaw (which I will get to) but the concept and set up make that great.

It was a dark and stormy night, and Jesse is about to bat Joey. The girls are woken up, so they tell a "bedtime story" about their situation. Jesse's exterminating job is going by slow so he starts teaching guitar. His student is the beautiful Corrina Spicer and Jesse feels instant magic. She feels nothing between them. Due to how much time they spend together, you can't really blame Jesse for feeling something. One week later, she meets Joey and is turned on by his comedy. Jesse witnesses them kissing and wants to destroy Joey. Danny talks with them about true love taking time and not trying so hard. Out of all the episodes this season, this is one of the ones with the strongest messages.
