Think of Fuller House as “Full House 2.0.” Same premise, same vibe, mostly same cast.... A winner, strictly for fans.
It turns out you can go home again--there’s just nothing new to see.

Some people are complaining about this... But this is what Full House always was. It was just a cheesy, light hearted comedy. If you like Full House, and you remember it for what it was, you're sure to enjoy this. Don't over analyze it. Just watch it, and take it for what it is. It's not bad at all.

SEASON 1
It feels like just leaving the TV on as rerun after rerun piles up. The laugh lines are predictable. The gags play out exactly as you'd expect.
Fuller House begins as a sitcom family reunion. It becomes a self-conscious, dated and maudlin reminder of the ceaseless march of time and your inevitable demise.
The episodes are predictable because they’re unoriginal and the writing is painful. The canned laughter is perhaps the greatest reminder of the “good old days.” If only all those recorded voices had something legitimate to laugh at.
There are so many self-satisfied references to the off-screen lives of the stars and what’s happened to them in the intervening years, you might sometimes think you’re watching a “Saturday Night Live” skit version of the show.
The blend of genres that subtract from each other speaks to the overall lack of effort from the series' writers (self-evident), actors (who can't even master one choreographed dance sequence among many) and producers (who are clearly in this for the money).
I was crazy excited and hesitant about this reboot. At first really wasn't thrilled was kinda cheesy but I feel that was expected. However the level of feminist references, inclusion, and acceptance in this series has me hooked. A sexy female character that simply cannot bare children??? A child fitting into stereotypical **** ideals, intelligent girls, opinionated women. I'm all for the series, be it cheesy at times...I grew up watching the original, the cheesy makes sense to me and I love it ALL!

SEASON 1
Netflix's surprise sequel series to one of the most beloved, family-friendly sitcoms of all time takes a while to find it's groove. It's early episodes are downright grating. However once you get past the awkward starting episodes, filled with cringe-worthy attempts at self-awareness ("Lol, does anybody else here those violins?") and bad dance numbers, it starts to come together and you begin to realize that just maybe these ladies can hold the show together without the adults returning.
I have to admit there is quite a bit of nostalgia here. Plenty of references for the fans (most of them done in awfully unfunny ways), returning characters, and even the same dang house. It even manages to capture the same sweet vibe from time to time.
However despite all of the throwbacks it never quite manages to completely recapture the feel of the original show. Longtime fans should still be mostly pleased with the show, but the attempts to modernize it end up hurting it in the end. For starters it loses some of that wholesomeness that made the original show a treat for families. I was both shocked and appalled by the amount of sexual humor, innuendos, and references to drinking. I don't recall Full House having any of that back in the day, and if it did it certainly wasn't so blatantly obvious.
As far as the cast itself goes the returning characters are just as likable as ever. Characters like Uncle Joey and Jesse might just be relegated to the occasional cameo, but it's still a treat to see them onscreen again. The Tanner girls and Kimmy do a great job of carrying the show in their new role. As for the new characters, they aren't so appreciated.
The kids are mostly bland and uninteresting. DJ's middle-child "Max" (Elias Harger) downright irritated me whenever he was onscreen for the majority of this season, mostly due to his tendency to scream all of his lines. The writers also tried way too hard to make his jokes come off as cute. The two older children are just dull. The new adults aren't much better. They all do start to become more likable as the season nears it's conclusion, but for the majority of the season I just didn't care about them.
Yeah, the first season of "Fuller House" gets off to a flawed start. It shows more and more promise as it progresses though. The characters become more likable and the humor gets sharper. Once the laughs get more frequent it becomes easier to put up with it's flaws.
As it stands this is a decent, yet subpar start to the new series. It doesn't quite capture the original's magic, but can still provide plenty of nostalgic moments for longtime fans. If they can continue to keep improving on everything in the next season then we could very well have a successful sequel series on our hands. They just need to sharpen up the writing, get back that squeaky-clean wholesomeness (or for the love of God just be subtle about it!), and get that darn kid to stop yelling his lines. If all that happens then Fuller House will be the revival of Full House fans deserve. As of right now it's the occasional nostalgia inducing, blast from the past that doesn't quite have all the pieces coming together yet. However, it's not hard to see how it can all get there.
6.5/10

Note that I've only seen some clips of that show. When I heard that the show is coming back, I knew that it will be different from the show, but very different. I noticed that critics hate this show more than the original Full House. I noticed when I watched some of the clips. The jokes lack understanding; such as the boy with a green model volcano saying "I was erupting my volcano," in which the girl replies "TMI." That boy isn't telling her how volcanoes work. The fourth wall joke about Michelle at New York as fashion designer is weak. I understand they got when the Olsen twins chose not to come back. This show has sexual innuendoes that expects us to believe that is age appropriate for a family sitcom if this was rated TV-G. You know, when Fuller has a wardrobe malfunction where her breasts are shown? I read parents complain about this. There's even an STD reference. Some of you may think this reboot/sequel is meant for fans of the old series who have grown into the modern era, but this isn't a point to have. I think I know why television networks aren't interested in Fuller House, because the show is too adult for a family series. I think the Olsen twins did the right thing not to be involved in that show's wreck.

SEASON 1
The reason I feel like it’s among the likes of Pixels and Dangerous 6 is because of its comedy. This show is supposed to target adults, since the kids that watched the original show are now adults, but its comedy feels like the live action Cat in the Hat. The adults are like kids, the kids are like adults, the innuendo is blatant and unfunny, and important values that crosses paths with our main characters are merely just a par to make jokes out of them, not put jokes in them. This is very prominent with the subject of marriage, never has a show or movie not cared about such emotional, conflicting, and important moments such as these. So in other words, the characters are still kids in an adult’s body, and so are the writers. This show is immature, lazy, and offensive to any fan with at least an 6th grade education.
