Full House Comeback in the Works

Cut it out. No, seriously — cut… it… out! If you grew up in the ’80s, you probably have fond memories of Full House, one of the most popular sitcoms of the day. The show ran on ABC from 1987 to 1995 and featured the exploits of the Tanner family, led by father and widower Danny who lives with his best friend Joey and his brother-in-law Jesse after the death of his wife. Together they help raise Danny’s three daughters: D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. There really wasn’t much more to it than that, unless you count the theme song, which is amazing. Anyway, there are currently whispers over at Warner Brothers about possibly reviving the show nearly 20 years later. What is interesting is that this may not be a “reboot” per se… because, believe it or not, many of the original cast members are said to be involved.
According to TV Guide, Warner Bros. TV is contemplating a new take on Full House that would bring it back to television along with a good chunk of the original cast. Original executive producer Bob Boyett and series creator Jeff Franklin are on board, as is John Stamos (aka Uncle Jesse) who supposedly has an ownership stake in the show. Other cast members that are ready to return include Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy), along with Bob Saget (Danny) and Dave Coulier (Joey). No word on whether or not The Olsen Twins have been contacted.
Back in 2009, Stamos had announced that he was working on a possible feature film sequel / reboot, but that failed to pan out. In recent years, the cast has appeared together for a few different reunions, most recently with Stamos, Coulier and Saget reprising their respective roles on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Back when the show ended the first time around, it was still pretty popular but just becoming too expensive to produce. These days Nick at Nite re-runs continue to bring in decent ratings so perhaps the time is right. What do you think, would you tune in for a brand new Full House?
