Full House Returning To TV With Original Cast?
Late 80s early 90s American sitcom Full House may be coming back, and with the same cast as the original according to TV Guide.
Hyped as a revival or “where are they now” the show’s original writer Jeff Franklin and producer Bob Boyett are back on board, and John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse is said to have financially backed the Warner Bros project.
Other cast members believed to be negotiating for the revival include Bob Saget (Danny), Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie), Andrea Barber (Kimmy), and Dave Coulier (Joey).
Perhaps the most famous of the cast the Olsen Twins however have turned down the idea previously, which has been out there for some time.
“We’re sort of working on a twist on a sequel,” said John Stamos last year. “But we don’t know if it’s going to happen yet or not.”
Stamos has also worked on the concept of a Full House movie.
“Insiders say the studio pitched a Full House revival last year that would have been set up like FX’s Anger Management, in which the network that airs it must pick up a 90-episode slate (produced at an accelerated pace) if the initial 10 episodes hit a certain rating,” say TV Guide.
Full House ran for 8 seasons and 192 episode between 1987 and 1995. The show followed widowed father Danny Tanner (Saget) raising his three daughters with the help of two male friends. The final season on ABC was still averaging 11.8 million viewers.
