Related Throwback Thursday: 'Better Call Saul,' 'Dollhouse,' 'PEN15,' and 90s TV Moments It does however, seem to push its own boundaries with some of the jokes, but it doesn’t push too far.Īll of the classic lines are there, from Joey’s “cut it out,” to Stephanie’s “How rude!” Jesse is still obsessed with Elvis, and Danny and Becky get to do their classic “Waaaaake up, San Francisco!” Only this time, it’s “Wake up, USA!” There are no f-bombs being dropped just because it’s a Netflix show and it can get away with it.
It’s also not trying to be something it isn’t. It’s still a multi-cam sitcom, and there’s even a studio audience (who, of course, goes nuts at the entrance of every familiar character). It is intentionally nostalgic, and it is more than willing to poke fun of itself, which is exactly what the show needs to do in order to work. My answer to that question, based on the first episode of Fuller House, “Our Very First Show, Again,” is yes.įrom the very first moments, Fuller House is completely aware of itself. Is it something we need? Is it even something that would work in our current television climate? So the idea of a Full House reboot left me with mixed feelings.
1.I have very clear memories of watching Full House as a kid, back when TGIF was a thing rather than TGIT. Here are 13 Full House episodes to watch when you really need a good laugh. A laugh born out of a late '80s or '90s joke isn't easy to come by these days, and it's real treat. (Though, I will say that marathoning the entire first season is guaranteed to get a whole lot of laughs out of you.) It's just that Full House's original run is kind of reminiscent of simpler times. I watch it practically every night.įor the sake of sticking to the variety of choices presented to us by the original Full House's whopping eight seasons, I'm going to leave the Fuller House revival out of this. The show's cheerful episodes far, far outweigh the heavier ones. So feel-good, in fact, that I am about to suggest to you a variety of Full House episodes to watch when you need a good laugh. And don't even get me started on the Papouli episode.) It's just that in the scheme of things, Full House is mostly feel-good. (I mean, hello, it's a show based on a husband reeling from the death of his wife, the mother to his three girls.
A go-to show for me when I need a pick-me-up and don't want to think too hard or feel too much is always Full House, not that the show doesn't have its fair share of heartstring-tugging episodes.
