Well... that's the thing. It has the same corny tween jokes the original had but it also has adult themes/jokes, I'm just not sure they mix.
I just finished ep 3, so still a ways to go before I can make a conclusion.
And just finished the first season.
Overall it was everything I wanted it to be: fun, campy, silly, happy, sad...and even a few things I didn't expected: self-aware, made fun of stuff from the 90s, sexual jokes and even a few gay jokes.
So yep...great to see everyone back. XD

And more eye candy! Matt...Fernando...oh! More Fernando!!
Agreed. I have zero issues with adult humor, but the aesthetic...the kids, the rest of the jokes. It still wears the original show's clothing, but now has big boobs and no bra.
Its not like adults will find the little kids that funny, and teens arent going to jive with this, so its weird to mix it up this much.
Mostly though its been acceptable for even my young boys (outside some awkward jokes).
If the primary audience are people my age, a LOT of the jokes are pretty off-the-mark and skew hard towards kids my children's age, so can't say I agree with your sentiment.
I saw the original show as a kid with my parents who were in their early 30s. No reason this couldn't do the same and aim for being a little more subtle with the minor adult stuff.

Fernando is hi-lar-I-ous. The duel glove slap. lol
I love all the new characters.

So i've watched about 4 episodes now.
I'm enjoying it way more than I figured I would. For me, the weakest parts of the show are when they bring in the old parents to guest star. When they're just doing DJ/Steph/Kimmy and their kids the show is really good with some genuine laugh out loud moments.
I understand why they have the old parents, but for me they're just there to tell 25 year old jokes which usually don't land that well. The pilot was also the weakest episode for me because of the same reasons, but overall I really like it.

So, I never watched Full House, but my girlfriend did. She got pretty excited to watch this, just to see how it turned out, and naturally, that involved me watching it, too.
I gotta say, I'm having fun. More than I thought I would be.

I mostly agree, but I enjoyed Joey
babysitting the kids, but the justification (or lack thereof) for him being there was hilarious.
Ep 5:
The infertility reveal was a sad but touching moment when DJ said how much everyone loves her and the kids came in, excited to see her.

Netflix is the best thing to ever happen to tv. This gives me tons of hope for Gilmore Girls!

DJ, Stephanie, and kimmie hold their own, could have done a sitcom without the kids. Shows still good, but there's huge potential with the 3 women.

I'm a few episodes in now. I really can't stand the younger brother. Horrible acting and unrealistic lines for a kid. The show would be so much better without any of the kids, really. Just having the Tanner girls back together would have been enough. But then there would have been a lot less plot, I guess.

I disagree about the kids. I think they're pretty good, and I mostly hate little kid actors. I think Max is great... easily the best of the kids. But yes, the three women are easily the best part of the show. Somewhat surprising considering they haven't had the most eventful careers and were mostly popular as children. They do a really good job and fit in to their roles quite well.
No way the younger brother is the best character on the show.

The 89c store cookie scene killed me.
Yes
Watched the first two episodes. It's a lot better than I thought it'd be...laugh out loud funny too. Also...
DJ got holy shit attractive.
Little brother is hilarious.
Where can I buy that bacon & egg scarf?

The cheesecake handbag is better.
The first episode is the worst of them, by a mile.
It gets immediately better once the old parents leave. In fact the show is at it's best when it's doing it's own thing and not focusing so much on the 20+ year old series.

First half of the pilot is definitely the worst. If by ep 3 you're not feeling it, it probably won't get better for you.

There are less obvious winks and nods to the audience, but other than that...
Not that I've seen so far.

I really don't like what they did to Steve. What I remember about him was that he was kind of a dumb jock I think. I don't really remember those later seasons that well. Here he's like a pathetic clingy ex.
Yeah this was definitely the most cringey out of everything in this show.

Finished it. Loved it. I really wanna see where these characters go. I can't actually believe i'm anticipating MORE Fuller House right now. What the heck is wrong with me?
Also, interesting note about Episode 11 or 12. I'm gonna spoiler tag the whole thing:

So, Steve's idea for his date is to have DJ & him reenact a scene from their old make-out movie, 'Ghost'. Did anyone else note the tragic irony that Steve's idea of romancing his old love is to have her reminisce about a movie where the story is about a widower who is still in love with her dead husband? A scenario which DJ herself can ABSOLUTELY identify with, given her situation? I wonder if the writers picked 'Ghost' specifically for that reason.

They're either setting up to be an underdog or they're gonna shut him down for good
Also what jock would end up with the job he has in this series? Also I don't get the "cute" comments people lay on him in this series. He looks weird to me. He definitely did not age well. It is especially evident when he puts on
his old clothes
How can he be a pathetic clingy ex when it's working and DJ is clearly interested?
BTW, DJ's other guy
seemed way more in to that kiss with Steve than Steve was
Just watched the first episode, and got floored by Jodie Sweetin and her dress.
Talk about Fuller House, have mercy!
Yeah, I was too distracted by her cleavage slit. I think I missed the entire portion of that episode because of that :v

She must have gotten a boob job because the next episode she goes to the club and something about her breast is very unnatural. DJ looks much better in that episode.Just watched the first episode, and got floored by Jodie Sweetin and her dress.

Show is much better than I thought it would be though. The first episode had to be packed full of references (and it was) but I'm glad they quickly returned to a newer concept.

It's my Kimmy + DJ fan fiction come to life.
Well since this is Comet Jr Jr Jr that does not mean that the comet of the original series had to be female.
It's my Kimmy + DJ fan fiction come to life.
Steph and Kimmy during a certain other scene in this series is better.

Man that first episode got me nostalgia so hard I couldn't help but smile.
I'm at the club episode, well...that was more...er sensual than I expected for a Full House scene, lol.

Watched the first episode and it was way better than I expected after reading the reviews. I watched it with my family too which really completed the whole experience and thrust us back into nostalgia. I was caught off guard by all the dirtier jokes but the same spirit of the original show felt present. DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy all still felt like themselves and the actresses did great. Looking forward to the rest of the season!
