'Full House' Reboot Is Officially Happening, and Here Are the Details

Prepare to catch up with D.J., Stephanie and Kimmy in 2016.

Details about the rumored “Full House” reboot were revealed in a press release by Netflix and actor John Stamos’ Monday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

The reboot – titled “Fuller House” – will star Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, with Stamos (Uncle Jesse on the original series) set to produce and guest star. According to the statement, discussions with additional “Full House” cast members Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin are ongoing.

At this point, 13 episodes of the series have been ordered.

“Fuller House” picks up with D.J. (Cameron Bure), a pregnant and recently widowed veterinarian, living in San Francisco. But D.J. needs help taking care of her children, 12-year-old J.D. and 7-year-old Max, along with the soon-to-arrive baby. Enter her sister – Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin), an aspiring musician – and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Barber), along with Kimmy’s teenage daughter Ramona, who all move in together.

They could do "Zombie Waltons". It would go over big with the younger folks.

All about what right wing prepper nuts they have become - it could be "Waltons' Spawn." Think of it as a version of "Duck Dynasty" but still on Walton's Mountain.

But mine was that some of them move to Arkansas; start a discount store; become billionaires; and screw over their employees.

Some could become billionaires, so just try to make a living and get screwed by their cousins, some turn into liberals, some into Scientologists - the possibilities are endless.

I don't begrudge them this.

I am just curious if they would allow Bog Saget to be an old sh1t spewing pervert...
If so, I AM SO THERE!

Even if they just combine his character with his character from Dave Chapelle's Half Baked movie, that would be so awesome.

For the most part I just despise sitcoms.

I miss the days of yore lol, with Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke show (before my time but I loved the reruns), I love Lucy (vitameatavegimin!), etc. I even liked Happy Days.

But I agree.

And MASH in the early days was fantastic. My mind is unable to retrieve any other faves at this end of the day unfortunately, but I know there were some I looked forward to in the evening.
