If you're my age, you might remember the show from the early '90s called "Full House." Though I didn't remember it all that well, I remembered it enough to recognize it when I saw the show on Netflix here in the UK. I knew about it and had seen rerun episodes of it as a kid, and I got excited about the new show, "Fuller House," a continuation of "Full House," which we have all probably heard of at one time or another. This Netflix series came out not too long ago, and I thought it would be a good show. So, in order to feel that I could watch "Fuller House," I decided to sit down and watch all 8 seasons of "Full House" in my spare time.
After watching those seasons, I finally felt that I could watch "Fuller House." Some may have thought it was good, but I felt that it was overkill. Before I watched it, I thought it would be a great continuation of a great show. However, I was incredibly disappointed by what I saw. I didn't finish the series because I just didn't see the point.
Though it was great to see all of the familiar characters and actresses, the 29-year gap didn't seem to make sense. The show seemed completely disconnected from its original place. The characters didn't act the same way they had acted when they were kids, which makes sense, but it didn't really work for the spirit of the original show. I didn't care that Michelle Tanner was missing from the action. I just missed the original charm.
The lessons that D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner, and Kimmy Gibbler try to teach D.J.'s children just down't work. the charm is lost in the adulthood of the older characters. The growing up of the characters was something I had wanted to see, but I wanted to see it gradually. I didn't want to suddenly see them grown up when we had left them as barely entering their teenage and adult years.
Perhaps the show could use some improvements, but in my mind, it shouldn't have been made. Full House was a wonderful and charming sitcom about a family. "Fuller House" tried to continue it, but lost the charm in the grown-up qualities of the characters. It didn't work, and I didn't like it. My opinion may not be the opinion of all, but I have heard it going around, and I would tend to agree.
