Over the past few months Netflix, along with cast members, have been busy promoting and building up the anticipated revival of fan favorite Full House, appropriately named Fuller House. On February 26, any and all Netflix subscribers will have access to the first look at Season 1. However, while the show has been long awaited since rumors first began to swirl about its reboot, a group of qualified TV reviewers have come down hard on the show.

According to Fox News,Hollywood Reports own Daniel Fienberg had this review about the show.
“It’s doubtful that there will be a more painful 2016 TV episode than the Fuller House pilot, which takes an inexcusable 35 minutes to establish a plot that is just an inversion of the original Full House premise.”
Another reviewer, Deadline’s Dominic Patten called the show “Potemkin Village” and wrote that it’s now known why Mary-Kate and Ashley, who portrayed little Michelle in the 90s original, made sure to steer clear of this train wreck.
“Maybe we know now why the Olsen twins decided to not participate.” Dominic wrote. “And it’s a real shame because Fuller House starts off so well, with almost everyone else from Full House on board and back in that Bay Area home… but, unfortunately, the adults basically become absentee landlords after the first episode, and the series sags fast.”
Despite such terrible reactions, added to the fact that many believe Netflix made a mistake reviving the show, and an even bigger one making it into an entire 13 episode season. Those who like the force-fed laughter and predictable lines that made the original so popular, will no doubt be canceling all the weekend plans and instead find themselves binge viewing Fuller House, states ABC News.
So, what’s the plot? While the original followed widowed Bob Saget, brother-in-law John Stamos, and BFF Dave Coulier, attempting to raise Saget’s three girls in a San Francisco home, the new Fuller House will share a similar storyline. Except this time, it’s Saget’s widowed daughter D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her BFF Kimmy (Andrea Barber), a single mother with a typical teenage daughter, who share the same house and raise D.J.’s three boys, ages 12, 7, and a newborn.
Apparently the dialogue also shares a familiar tone. “I’m having an acid flashback,” Kimmy says in the six half-hours that were made available to reviewers. “But I never dropped acid. I did take an antacid once. I must be having an ANTACID flashback.” (Cue the laughter.)
Dec 12, 2019 Candace Cameron Bure talked about the Fuller House wrap party, which she turned into a “rap” party, in a preview clip posted on YouTube for today’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.She and Kelly also had a minor disagreement over what constitutes a twerk.

While Fuller House sticks to predictable humor with loving hugs and family fun, it will also reflect on it’s successful predecessor while keeping up-to-date with some of its jokes, including a jab at Donald Trump, mixed in with plenty of 90s references and cameos.
Collider reports that Fuller House’s touching connections between then-and-now are laid on heavy and often in the beginning, through split screens, and parts were the cast relives exact moments from the original hit show.
With other reviewers are calling it, “self-obsessed,” and saying anyone other than die hard fans should be “strenuously cautioned” from hitting the play button. There were some good things said, though not a lot.
Newsday’s Verne Gay gave the show an overall rating of a “B+,” saying, “This will be a hit, if only because old friendships must be rekindled, along with emotions too deep for words — even if those words are ‘cut it OUT!,’ and ‘You got it, dude.'”
Entertainment Weekly shared an exclusive preview for fans featuring Kimmy and D.J. that you can check out below.
