- Full House creator Jeff Franklin identified “Tanner's Island,” the first episode of season three, as one of the show's worst, citing its lack of storyline and emotional depth.
- Speaking on the How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast, Franklin described the Hawaii-set episode as “silly” and “from another planet,” criticizing its unrealistic plot progression.
- The episode depicted the Tanner family seemingly stranded on a deserted island in Hawaii, only to discover they were on the wrong side, culminating in an impromptu concert.
