It's Official -- Watch John Stamos Announce That A New Season Of "Full House" Is Coming To Netflix in 2016
E! - Fuller House, the Full House sequel, is really happening(!!!). John Stamos announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night that the 13-episode series has been picked up by Netflix and revealed that the idea had been years in the making. “It’s a labor of love, and we’ve been trying for years to do it right, and I think we finally got it perfect.” According to the Netflix press release, Fuller House follows “veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Cameron-Bure) pregnant and recently widowed, living in San Francisco. D.J.’s younger sister/aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin) and D.J.’s lifelong best friend/fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler (Barber), along with Kimmy’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona, all move in to help take care of D.J.’s two boys—the rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max—and her soon-to-arrive baby.” Discussions with Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier, and Lori Loughlin are reportedly underway for guest appearances. “We’re going to try to get everyone in the first [episode,]” Stamos told Kimmel. “We’re going to do an hour special and then it’ll go into the spinoff.”
Interesting, interesting, interesting. The biggest, and I mean BIGGEST problem here is the lack of Olsen Twins and the lack of Saget. I can’t have Full House without the Michelle or Danny Tanner. They are Full House. Now I get that it’s a spinoff and blah blah blah, but c’mon, you expect me to believe Danny Tanner wouldn’t be right there for Deej if she’s pregnant and widowed? Kinda gloomy by the way. The biggest challenge this show will have is getting the “rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max” to not suck. Kids in TV shows are generally awful. The worst. Modern Family did as good of a job as you’ll see not having the kids on a TV show be awful, and Manny still sucked dick. If they can figure that part out, we have a nice lil Netflix show on our hands. But really, I need Saget. Need.
PS: How about DJ’s mom dying when she was young and now her husband dying when she is pregnant and already has 2 kids? C’mon Full House, cut the girl a break. And now Gibbler, another single mother, is moving in? Woof.
