I watched Step By Step a few times, not enough to remember all the characters names or anything, but I remember one kid complaining about his bedtime, and he said, "Even the kids on Full House get to stay up later." The first time I saw SBS, it had that same kind of attraction as FH, and at the end I saw that it was made by the same company. I wish shows like that were still made today. Shows today just don't have that same feeling.
Also, this isn't really a reference, but Candace Cameron also played a part on That's So Raven, which is also set in San Francisco. She played someone else on the show though, not DJ. I thought it would be interseting if she played DJ, then we would see what she grew up to be, that she's still living in San Fran, etc.
