Before landing the part on "Full House," Candace appeared in small roles in a series of television shows like "Growing Pains" (alongside her big brother Kirk), "Punky Brewster," and "St. Elsewhere." In 1987, she had a role as the youngest sister of Eric Stoltz in the teen comedy "Some Kind of Wonderful."
Later that year, Bure began the most prominent role of her career when she was cast on the ensemble family sitcom "Full House" as Donna Jo "D.J." Tanner, the oldest daughter of widower Danny Tanner, played by Bob Saget. "Full House" originally ran from September 22, 1987, to May 23, 1995.

While on "Full House," Candace was featured in many made-for-TV movies such as: "No One Would Tell," "She Cried No," "NightScream," and "Camp Cucamonga." She also starred in an episode of "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and also appeared alongside Tom Hanks and Sally Field in the feature film "Punchline." In 1990, Bure hosted the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards with her "Full House" co-star Dave Coulier, and again in 1994 with Joey Lawrence, becoming the first person to host twice.
After Full House ended, Candace continued to appear in movies and television shows. She guest-starred on shows like "Cybill" and "Boy Meets World."

Bure has appeared in over a dozen "Aurora Teagarden" TV movies.
Starting in 2016, she starred as D.J. Tanner-Fuller on the series "Fuller House," the reboot of "Full House."
