Random Wild Fan Theories About '90s Sitcoms (11 items)

(#7) The Children Of 'Full House' Were Actually Fathered By Joey Gladstone

This is a heck of a concept that doesn’t have the backing of a Maury show paternity test to confirm it, but is interesting nonetheless. The Tanner girls are blond, blue-eyed children while their father, Danny, has brown hair and brown eyes. In a flashback we see that their late mother, Pamela Tanner was blond, but even her brother Jesse has dark hair and eyes. So, someone crunched the numbers and came to the conclusion that Danny and Pam would only have a 1 in 16 chance of creating one blond, blue-eyed child, much less three of them, which would have a 1 in 4,096 chance of occurring.
What would make this very possible is a very blond-haired, blue-eyed Joey Gladstone, who technically isn’t even an uncle, but lingers around as a close, family friend. Perhaps he was secretly hooking up with Danny’s wife? The theory extends beyond Danny, noting that Jesse and Rebecca had blond-haired, blue-eyed twin sons, which is super, incredibly unlikely based on their appearance, meaning Joey could’ve been their father as well.
(#8) Homer Simpson Has Been In A Coma for 20+ Years

In short, there’s a 1992 episode of The Simpsons that ends with God telling Homer he’s going to pass in six months. Six months later, in a 1993 episode, Homer is put in the hospital after Bart’s April Fools' prank goes wrong. After that he’s crushed by a vending machine and goes into a coma. He wakes up at the end of the episode, but this theory proposes that Homer didn’t wake up, and imagined all the episodes from that point on. The creator of this theory points out more details to back his claim, though they can’t necessarily be proven.
(#9) 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Takes Place In Heaven

This theory states that the “one little fight” Will got into on the basketball court in West Philadelphia was a fatal one. That’s right, Will passed on the court, and the taxi driver with the “rare” cab is God, transporting Will to heaven. The times Will sees his mom and dad on the show are instances in which they’re visiting his grave.
(#11) All 10 Seasons Of 'Friends' Were Imagined By Phoebe

A Twitter user, @strnks, pitched the concept of Friends being a “fantasy of a homeless Phoebe as she stared through the window of Central Perk." It suggests that Phoebe was projecting herself into the other characters’ lives because all she really wanted was friends.
(#6) 'Modern Family' Is A Sequel To 'Married… With Children'
Ed O’Neill is on both shows which initiated the link, but the theory points out that on both shows he had a blonde daughter and a son. They were kids on Married… With Children, but they’re fully grown adults on Modern Family. It adds up even more when you realize that O’Neill’s character on Modern Family is in his second marriage, and he admits the first didn’t go well because he wasn’t very nice.
(#2) 'Boy Meets World' Is Shown As Cory Sees It

One thing fans of this series question is the evolution of Eric’s character, from cool older brother to comically dumb dummy. The theory says that we’re being shown things as Cory sees them, so as a kid his older brother was cool, but once he’s grown and matured, he sees how stupid he is. This could also explain the disappearance of his little sister for a couple seasons, because he was a teenager who wants nothing to do with their younger sibling.
