’90s TV series making an even ‘Fuller’ comeback

“Cut it out!”

You’re not fooling anyone but yourself if you’re not willing to admit that you know that classic line is from the beloved television series “Full House.”

Running from 1987 through 1995, “Full House” was a sitcom television series that revolved around the Tanner family.

The series was about a widower, Danny Tanner, and his three girls, DJ, Stephanie and Michelle. The four of them lived with their two uncles, Joey and Jesse. The show was filled with quirky one-liners, family outings and a heartfelt meaningful message at the end of every episode.

For those who have seriously been missing some Tanner family love over the last few years, Netflix has you covered.

On Feb. 26, Netflix binge watchers and “Full House” fans alike will have their ultimate dream come true.

Netflix is releasing its own original spinoff series titled “Fuller House.”

It’s hard to tell if the new spinoff series will follow the same plot line as the original, but it is more fun to speculate what America’s favorite family will be bringing to the Netlflix screen.

More than 20 years since the last episode aired, the question has to be asked: will the entire original cast be back? You can’t have an Uncle Jesse without an Aunt Becky and you certainly can’t have a DJ Tanner without a Kimmy Gibbler. However, “Full House” super fans have nothing to worry about. There are only two people who will be missing from the original cast: The Olsen twins.

Mary-Kate and Ashley decided not to come back for a Tanner family reunion. Although it may seem like the show cannot go on without the now 29-year-old twins, maybe it’s for the best?

The twins certainly aren’t two feet tall and wearing pigtails anymore and if they really didn’t want to participate, the Tanner family may be better off.

I think starting the series back up again without the twins may be a little strange at first. However, the Olsen twins certainly have not made the most positive headlines over the last few years, so I think the Netflix series may actually be better off.

After watching the trailers for the new series, I think the show will definitely get a large amount of viewers.

24.3 million people tuned in to watch the series end more than 20 years ago, so maybe the same amount will be logging into their Netflix accounts to see it all start back again.

I will definitely be tuning in just to see what all the buzz is about.

As an avid “Full House” fan, I watched the show everyday after school when ABC Family would show reruns. I even had some of the seasons on DVD.

With two younger sisters, my dad would often joke that we were just like DJ, Stephanie and Michelle.

There’s certainly a little bit of nostalgia for the show in my heart, and I’m sure many other people who grew up watching the show can agree.

Is this a new creative idea or are TV producers getting a little desperate?

Personally, I think only time will tell.

I think it will be obvious after the first episode whether or not the spinoff was a good idea or not.

It could be cute and bring back a lot of memories for fans, or it could seem forced and all wrong.

Regardless, I certainly will be opening my Netflix account on Friday, Feb. 26 to catch up with one of America’s favorite families.
