Episode 3. Steph in the sparkle dress and kimmy.
I just watched the first episode and it wasn't what I expected. I didn't really like it that much, nor did I hate it, but it was just interesting to watch. The adult jokes and 4th wall breaking caught me off guard.
I didn't know the older characters aren't in it a ton and not sure how much I'll like it as it settles in to normal sitcom mode but I'll check out more later.

I...I just skipped through a few episodes.
Are they going to have an elaborate dance number coming out of nowhere in every single episode?
EDIT: Clicked on another and now they are singing again. Yeaaaah. I think I'm out.
It's nothing like that. There have been like 3 so far.

How did Netflix not get the old show to stream?
I'm wondering that too. The little bit of old footage in this new series looks great in HD.

All done. Wow, I didn't expect to finish the whole thing on Day 1 but here I am.
Episode 13 Spoilers
The DNA of the show is the same, but things are a little bit more loose. Still essentially kid friendly, but I can't even remember any alcohol references in the original show, let alone mild sex jokes.
It isn't a great comedy, but it was exactly what it needed to be. I honestly don't see how many anyone that earnestly enjoyed the original show would be disappointed with this. It's Full House 2016. It's directly aimed at adults who grew up watching the original show, and then there are sprinklings of things for kids who are watching this for the first time. Literally the opposite formula of Girl Meets World.
And it got a few laughs from me in pretty much every episode, which is more than I can say for a lot of the comedies out now. And not even laughs and cringes for how cheesy it is at times, but honest laughs. The new characters have their moments too. I like that the children are written to be extremely reasonable. They're still kids, but they're rational. I would say they're easier to relate to than the kids were in the original show. Kimmy's ex husband is a cartoony foreign dude, but he had some pretty funny moments that didn't rely solely on his accent being funny.
I'm expecting the Netflix announcement of Season 2 very soon. There is no way this misses the mark with the people it was targeting.
Episode 13 Spoilers
The parody of The Bachlorette was perfect. It lampshaded DJ having to pick between two guys very well. And I have to admit, I really have to give them props for Stephanie's speech about how Kimmy and DJ's guy problems didn't really matter either way, since they'll still have each other. Really brought the show into 2016.

Okay, this is winning me over. Is it nostalgia blinding me or this pretty good?
Also, Macy Gray did not look like she was feeling it in episode 3.

It's not bad or awful. It's a 90's sitcom in 2016 dressing. It's dumb, funny and enjoyable.

So you could see it.Why they leave the chicken in the fridge uncovered tho?
TV has to make these concessions for storytelling purposes. Same reason why French bread is rarely wrapped in grocery packages.

Watching Uncle Joey take a lawnblower toilet paper gun on those kids was hysterical.

You can't see it, but I'm giving you the Michelle death stare from the pilot.
I'm on episode 4 and he has said it at least twice.
Stephanie is actually really good in this show. Without a doubt the strongest part.
Edit: What the fuck? A woman just came into a vet office and throws a skunk down and in the next scene they are bathing in giant tubs of tomato juice...who wrote this?

The definition of 0 to 100 real quick. They pulled that number out of nowhere without missing a beat. Such a weird way to get into the plot about needing money.
lol yeah

They fell for it being 90 degrees in San Francisco and took off their coat. Seriously, who wrote that line?

Watched the first episode.
Parts were weak but overall enjoyable, and I'm interested to see where it goes
I think the AV Club article about it being "a porn parody without the porn" is a bit unfair, but I'm sure it got a good amount of clicks
Only complaints thus far are the kids, and the dance/musical stuff is weird but whatever.

I highly recommend watching past the first episode (pilot)
The show gets much much better.
