This. It's nowhere near as bad as some of the professional reviews made me believe. It's silly, corny, and enjoyable like the original. My only complaint is that some jokes can be too adult at times and that the kids really overact.
Did somebody say...... MILK!?!
Did you watch the show?
she can't produce milk
Also, the Trump dig makes more sense after you watch this from a week ago:

Ha, I'm only on the 3rd episode.
Yeah, I haven't even watched it yet but I can tell that just from the gifs.
Yeah, let's kill all the "sexy" talk and "exploding volcano" inuendo. I mean, "haha" but I shouldn't have to explain what this stuff means to my 6 and 8 year olds in a wholesome family show.
I mean, I DID explain it...but eh.

...what?
Maybe this'll just be a huge nostalgia trip for my wife and I then, lol.
Edit: Oh, it wasn't bad at all.
That makes sense but they also did a weird "rock, paper, scissor" thing alot that I thought may be a call back to characters on the original show. Maybe they did it on DWS (don't watch that show).

As lovely as they are, it would be nice if the entire thread wasn't about Stephanie Tanner's boobs going forward.

I just assumed that was the only reason anyone was watching the show.
I mean, I agree.
But the show kind has a weird sexual slant to it. Not surprised we have horn dogs panting in here.

I really liked the first episode. Nostalgia overload and felt like full house.
I've only watched the first episode so far, but man this is a weird feeling of nostalgia to go back to. I used to watch some of the show when I was a kid, and even though I knew it was schmaltzy waltzy cheese at the time I couldn't help but watch it. Same thing applied here too. A lot of sappy cringe moments but yet I couldn't stop watching it. I admit I did get a chuckle a few times and I wasn't expecting them to lay on the adult humor as much as they did.

Yup. This is exactly what a revival like this should be, and everyone seems to be having a lot of fun. On episode 5 now and I'm really enjoying it... which I wasn't actually expecting to.
Just watched the first episode. It was really corny and cringeworthy, but it had its moments. Kimmy is easily the funniest and the kids are easily the worst actors(although John Stamos isn't much better 
). Though I loved it, I haven't watched the original in forever and I wouldn't be surprised if it was just as corny as episode 1.
I'm gonna give this season a shot though. I just hope that the poor ratings won't cause the show to get cancelled :S

Even though I'm only on episode one, this show is really fun. I also like the more adult-oriented jokes that have been included.
And again, how the hell does Lori Loughlin and John Stamos not ever age?

Jodi and Candice steal the screen you can tell they are REALLY into these characters.
Seriously the reviewers missed the mark on this one this is great.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
The most bizarre thing to me is that pretty much every review I read before this came out was negative. But the reactions on Twitter have been extremely positive. I think they knocked it out of the park with this one, as much as you could with a Full House revival. This definitely isn't bad by sitcom standards, and I think it's way better than the original.

The first episode was really awful though. The rest of the show just becomes average after it goes past the whole "look at us we're old!" phase of the pilot.
I think it's just a reflection of the world.
Really only ABC makes these type of sitcoms anymore and even those are more... adult-oriented.
It's kind of a throwback to a more innocent time, and perhaps people don't like overly cheery and happy shows.
That sounds cynical. But I've enjoyed it so far.
Think just finished episode 7.
Much like Girl Meets World though, I like that they don't depend entirely on the original crew and sprinkle it throughout

Just finished the third ep.
I'm really surprised by how good this is so far.
It's modern but still has a lot of heart the original did without the over the top sap, and the amount of cheese is just right.
Edit: lol ep 4. I was up all night erupting my volcano, haha.

I have absolutely no nostalgia for Full House. I've actually always thought it was awful. But here I am, on a couch watching this, and it's not bad. Not amazing, but it's alright.
My wife, however, is going nuts. After every episode she sits up and goes "I am loving this, so, much!!!!"
So, yeah, it's a success as far as I'm concerned.

quick someone make a gif of Kimmie imitating Stephanie (midway through Ep. 6)
also, the amount of innuendos is indeed strange, but it works. The self-awareness makes the show's humor even better.
Literally just watched that part and found it funny while reading the thread.

A. Netflix doesn't report on their viewership figures, so we have no idea how well it's doing B. It just premiered today so it's too early to say anyway C. Netflix has never cancelled one of their originals after only one season.

There was something special about getting a shower, laying down and watching Full(er) House on a Friday night.
Get me my Gameboy and a Caprisun and I'm freaking home.

Just finished the first 10 episodes. Really enjoying the show so far, which i'm honestly surprised by. I think I share the same sentiment most here already have; its a fantastic revival of the show's original format, with a nice injection of both adult humor, and the whole-hearted family angle that pretty much dominated family sitcoms in the 90s.
In a way, I feel what makes it standout now is that, its not in a oversaturated sea of other similarly themed shows. Sure, each show back in the 90s was somewhere different on the spectrum of family-wholesome sitcom, but you had so many back then: Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, Step By Step. Even the current shows Disney produces, like Girl Meets World, pander way too young and feel way more cringe-y than this show does, and this show isn't exactly rife with adult-humor, like say Married With Children was.
Its hard to put my finger on what exactly is happening in this show's execution of this specific sitcom format that is making it rise above the rest, but they definitely have something going on. I haven't read any reviews on this, but if its as poor as some have said, then I definitely think that the reviewers are way over the mark.

If my facebook is any indication, it's doing pretty well.
On episode 3 now, I think the main problem with this show is that it's an adult themed show but with childish jokes, so it's a bit confused in that aspect...
I meant poor reviews, poor wording on my part

My gawd that DJ and Kimmy dance off.
Seriously why does this show feel so different? Something about it is very refreshing while also being a throw back. Sitcoms today are genuily missing whatever magic this show has.

It's a family sitcom aimed at adults. They didn't make this for tweens like the original.
I mean this has masturbation jokes, original never did that.
