Fuller House

So, I grew up with the original and sure, it was cheesy and dated, but had great characters and a lot of heart.

Fuller House...is pretty much exactly the same. Not that that's a bad thing! In this day and age, such a show is welcome.

The Tanner girls (sans Michelle) and Kimmy take the roles of their uncles/dad in the original, raising DJ's three sons along with Kimmy's daughter in the same house. The pilot is basically a reunion episode and isn't exactly great. It's forced and kinda cringeworthy. But when that's over, the show really takes off. The three leads all do a great job (and aged pretty darn well, if you catch my drift), and the new kids aren't too bad either. Max especially--that kid is going to be a star.

There's a nice mix of humor here, family stuff and some more adult stuff for older viewers. Yes, there's a laugh track. Yes, it feels forced in parts. But so did the original. If you're even remotely a fan, you'll love it.

Obviously the original is better! The forced laughter gets annoying and some scenes are cringey to watch but asides from that, it's watchable

I watched the first four episodes today on Netflix, and I must say, i was pleasantly surprised. I was having doubts of this return / reboot of one the cutest family shows from the 80s/90s, but the show blew me away from the Pilot episode. DJ, Stefanie and Kimmi are back, now as grown ups where DJ needs to raise her 3 sons by herself, and of course require help. Danny, Jessie and Joey are also back, mainly as guest stars im guessing throughout the season. The show starts fresh with frequent recalls of events of the older show, the director even gives us split screen scenes with both the new and older show scenes playing. Subtle funny moments and not going over the top as i was expecting, with hilarious puns and jokes from the older show. The family battle newer challenges with their newer kids like the obsession with electronic tablets, etc Sadly, there is no Michelle, that the whole cast acknowledge in quite a funny way during the first episode! Who knows, she might be brought back in the future. In summary, such a great, heartwarming and funny reboot for the whole family to enjoy

The annoying 'Wooooooo' every other second is what driving me away from this.

Like a pair of well-worn shoes or catching up with an old friend, Fuller House doesn't break the mold but is refreshingly dependable: this is truly for the fans. You know what you're getting when you jump in, so if you weren't a fan of the original series, it may not be your cup of tea. If you were a fan growing up or catch the reruns, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Sure, some of it is familiar and fits into the sitcom template, but that is not a bad thing at all. The first episode truly feels like the finale we never got for Full House while also planting the seeds for the rest of the season. It's nice to see the original cast all together one more time, and it's especially refreshing to see the trio of ladies that anchor the rest of the season have not missed a beat.

I binged the entire season the moment I woke up this morning for its debut and it was everything I was hoping for. I was pleasantly surprised that it met & surpassed my expectations, had me laughing out loud every episode, and even some of the elements I wasn't a fan of (for me, the kid who played Max was a bit much at times) had their redeeming moments (some of his jokes miss wildly, yet others caught me off-guard with their hilarity).

To me, the two standout elements were some suggestive humor bits (still harmless enough for children) and Andrea Barber's portrayal of Kimmy Gibler: Kimmy may have gotten older in age, but she hasn't changed one bit which is s good thing for us. I'm already looking forward to the next season! 8/10
