On February 26th 2016, Netflix released its new original series titled "Fuller House." The original show, "Full House", ran for eight seasons, ending in the fabulous year of 1995.
'90s kids, especially those of college age, have been buzzing about the newer continuation of the Tanner family story. Since you were a mere infant in the 1990s, the endless reruns of "Full House"on Nick at Nite and ABC Family (now Freeform) flooded your childhood memories. You know the entire story of Jesse and Becky’s journey to love, happiness and the room in the attic. Your friends reminisce and thank their lucky stars they were born at that time rather than living through it. The overwhelming presence of jean overalls makes that pretty clear.
Now 29 years later, has Netflix made our dreams come true?
1. The original theme song and intro start up.
You press pause. Did I click the wrong show? No… okay. Let’s continue.
2. BE WARNED. This a "Full House" spin-off. In case you didn’t know that already.
3. IT’S THE SAME HOUSE. And they updated the kitchen. Whew.
4. Why is this baby alone in the… Oh, there’s Grandpa.
5. Speaking of Grandpa...time was not a friend to Danny Tanner (Bob Saget).
What?! Someone had to say it. We still love him though.
6. Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) looks FINE.
...and the Elvis baby is cute too.
7. How much did Joey (Dave Coulier) get paid to wear those pajamas?
8. BECKY (Lori Loughlin). Wow I hope I look that good one day…
9. Jesse + Becky = “Forever”
10. D.J. looks amazing for a stressed mom of three.
11. WAAAAAKE UP, America?!?
12. The audience reaction is perhaps hyping this up too much. We're standing in the kitchen. Wooo!
13. GROUP HUG within the first five minutes. My heart just grew three sizes.
14. Steph (Jodi Sweetin) has a British accent? I can’t even deal right now.
15. Michelle (AKA the Olsen twins) is running a fashion empire. Creative.
16. DID THEY JUST BREAK THE FOURTH WALL?
17. The twins are grown up! Six years of college and they can surf. Solid.
18. This feels like a cast reunion. Where’s Andy Cohen?
19. Haven’t they seen each other in the interim 29 years? They are a family after all.
20. "Gibbler style" actually isn’t as bad as it sounds.
21. It only took eight minutes for “How rude!”
22. D.J.’s son dropping Trump jokes. 'Fuller House' goes political.
23. New theme song brought to you by Carly Rae Jepsen (sounding like something from the Disney Channel)…HEY!
24. Yes, Steph, it’s too much. You are only going downstairs.
25. “DJ” Tanner turning up the living room floor. Woot Woot.
26. DANNY HAS A WIFE and she likes “clean” talk… Is Danny Tanner some sort of Jason Derulo?
27. Comet Junior Junior and puppies. Cuteness overload.
28. Are the baby ear drops really next to the salad dressing?
29. “Everywhere you look” the Tanner clan is bursting into song. And it always works.
29 reactions later and I still don’t have an answer. I’ll have to watch a few more (or ten). The reward of reliving and mocking your childhood only has benefits. I’m looking forward to see what’s next as these three women take on the task of raising a house full of kids on their own. Happy Streaming!
