8 TV Characters Who Would Have Been Fired In Real Life

6. Danny Tanner (Full House)

Reason For Termination: Incessant tardiness Though you may not have realized it throughout the eight seasons of family-friendly television that Full House provided, but central dad Danny Tanner actually had a job. He wasn't just a stay-at-home dad, despite what 192 episodes of the sitcom may have suggested. Tanner cohosted a local morning show called Wake Up, San Francisco.

It's unclear just how many days Tanner was expected to appear on the show, but basic logic would suggest that the gig was a full-time, Monday through Friday thing. So then how is he always sitting at the breakfast table with his kids, ready to send them off to school? What the hell, guy, does your live morningtalk show start at 10am? It's not called Wake Up, Lazy College Students. Most of the working world has been up for hours by the time you finally roll into work.
