Everywhere you look, DVDs and childhood memories of Full House surround you.
After a long and stressful day in elementary school, our generation would jump on the couch and join our favorite family, the Tanner family on the ABC Family Channel.
Lucky for Full House fans, the creator, Jeff Franklin, has decided to reboot this American sitcom.
The 1987-95 hit series, Full House, is making its comeback as Fuller House on Netflix this Friday, February 26. The spin-off is built around the life of the all-grown-up D.J. who is recently widowed, a mom to three boys, and a veterinarian. The show also features her sister Stephanie, who is now a club DJ, and her childhood best friend Kimmy, who is a single mom raising a daughter.
The pilot starts out with the whole Tanner clan getting together 20 years later to say goodbye to Danny and the family home because Danny has decided to move to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he wants to sell the house, which is forcing D.J. and her three sons, who live with him since her husband died, to move into their own apartment. In true Full House fashion, Danny decides to keep the house for D.J. and her three kids. Of course, Stephanie, Kimmy and her daughter, Ramona, move in to help out.
Danny, Uncle Jesse, Uncle Joey, and Aunt Becky make rare appearances in the show after the pilot, for the two sisters and Kimmy are the main characters in the show. Michelle, the youngest sister, does not appear in the new show because she’s now living in New York pursuing a career in the fashion industry. In fact, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, who played Michelle, are now fashion designers living in New York and they did not want to appear on Fuller House.
Full House was focused on three men raising children. Now, Fuller House focuses on three women raising children. DJ steps into the Danny role of the responsible adult. Kimmy is the jokester, like Uncle Joey. And lastly, Stephanie is just like the cool Uncle Jesse that she always loved and emulated.
So, on Friday night, grab your childhood buddies and throw it back to all the fun times you spent together saying “How rude,” “Cut it out,” and “You got it dude.”
