DOes anyine else think it's ironic...


that in full House her last name was "Tanner" and on Make It Or Break It the guy she's dating's last name is "Tanner"??? I thought it was funny.

And the guys first name is Steve..her boyfriend on Full House was named Steve!

I just noticed that today also. Of course I only realized that it was Candace 2 weeks ago. I thought she looked familar but just couldn't place her. Glad she's back on TV.

Ummmm no. That's not "ironic." I suggest you execute a quick search on the definition of "irony" to avoid making this mistake in the future.

reply

Correct. It's not even coincidental, which people often mistake for irony. It's very likely a deliberate reference to Full House.

VERY good point. I often think that I'm the only one who notes that the words "irony","ironically" and "ironic" - confused in that order - is (for the term "coincidence" and related) very frequently MISUSED!

(At least Alanis Morrissette in 1995 got the definition right in her big hit song "Ironic").
