Full House

There’s a certain oddball charm to Netflix Full House revival Fuller House, as enough subscribers seem to have discovered this past weekend, that the streaming giant is already locking down a second mortgage. That’s right, the Fullers will be back in the House for Season 2, regardless of your appeals to Netflix’s humanity.

Netflix’s Fuller House will drag the past kicking and streaming onto your devices as early as this Friday, but it won’t bring the Olsen twins any closer to reprising the role that once made them famous. Now, said fashion moguls have at last spoken out on declining the invitation, owing to bad timing and discomfort.

You’ve waited, and waited, and double-barreled enough whiskey to drown out the nightmares, but CUT. IT. OUT. The first full Full House, er Fuller House trailer has arrived, chock full of all the catchphrases, Gibblers and Bollywood dance numbers you’ve spent the last few decades envisioning for the Tanners! Wait, what?

The days of the family-friendly three-camera sitcom may feel lost to time, but darn it all if Netflix’s Fuller House isn’t going to hijack that San Francisco trolley right into a black hole. Return to the ‘90s, come hell or high water, with a new behind-the-scenes Fuller House featurette, chock full of all the studio audience and catchphrases you can handle!

Nothing we’ve seen of Netflix’s Full House revival has allayed questions as to why we needed Fuller House in the first place, but Netflix isn’t about to give up on the Tanners after only one year. According to series star and executive producer John Stamos, the streaming service will renew Fuller House for “a lot” more than one season. Have mercy.

Sure, you might take Netflix at their word that Fuller House represents a real series produced by, starring, and intended for actual humans, but initial teasers weren’t exactly selling that well. Sure, photos helped, but does an actual teaser with real-live Tanners convince us any further on Fuller House? Who else might make a wood-chucking return? Let’s find out!

Let’s be honest: the promotional lead-in to Netflix’s Fuller House revival of Full house has not been good. There was the uber-creepy first teaser, horribly misguided dance-break, and all the ridiculous Olsen news you can handle. Now, the first official photos have arrived of the Tanner (ahem, Fuller) clan reunited, and they look … like humans occupying communal space, sure!

There’s little argument that Netflix’s pickup of Fuller House brought some derisive chortles, particularly as one-time series breakouts Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen declined the opportunity to even cameo as Michelle Tanner. These days, younger sister Elizabeth Olsen has deservedly stolen spotlight of her surname, to the point Fuller House even asked the Avengers star to step in as Michelle.

Netflix’s Fuller House has has a rough go of early teasers for its 2016 premiere, first the existential horror of an abandoned Tanner home, then the existential horror of Kimmy, DJ and Steph dancing the Nae Nae, so call Carly Rae Jepsen, maybe? The pop singer has confirmed her voice behind a remake of the classic Full House theme for Netflix, finally answering whatever happened to predictability.

It’s here, it’s here! At long last, the reunion no one in the history of ever wanted is here! Comet may be dead, but Full House lives on, awash in nostalgia for the milkman, the paperboy, evening TV and all. Yes, the first Fuller House teaser has arrived, complete with a February premiere date, in case you wonder what ever happened to predictability.
