Oh yeah that was a classic Full House, the one where Steph was going to get glasses and she was always tentative about it, but then Urkel showed up and.....I should stop
But anyway, networks always use sporting events to promote their shows. Whether it was Pat Summerrall on CBS back in the day "Coming up after the game, what does this man know that could save your life, find out on 60 minutes, except on the west coast, followed by Murder...She Wrote" or FOX where during the baseball playoffs they show fans/FOX actors who just "happen" to be at the game
