Yes. She was on Season 18.

 

[O'Haire]

Show is crap. But I can't stop watching. Steph's boobs

 

[Tanin]

It's as good as I was hoping for.

 

[TheCommissioner]

the original was schmaltzy crap

when it launched in 1987, critics savaged it - and this was before the internet and social media, I recall a review in TV Guide or something that called it ABCs worst new show of that fall season

this show is what it says on the tin, and at the end of the day, if I had kids, Id sooner they watch this than says some garbage like Big Bang Theory

Also Jodie Sweetin...sweet baby Jeebus, I want to put my face in her butt

 

[O'Haire]

I haven't seen the original in ages. Did it have this much adult humor too?

in the later seasons, sort of

 

[Primal Slayer]

It's ok, nothing special and definitely relies on its legacy but here I am half way through the season.

On the third episode, I like it so far. I was never a fan of the original, but was always aware of it, but i think this show is cheesy, hokey fun....just like the original. I like the nostalgia factor, it FEELS like a 90's sitcom. I don't see anything offensively bad like what a lot of critics are saying.

Also, is it just me or is that youngest kid hilarious? Something about the way he delivers his lines is just on point. Not bad for a 6 year old. Best part of the new cast.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I actually like that the show doesn't rely on past characters outside of DJ, Kimmy and Stephanie.

It's similar to Girl Meets World in that sense.

 

[Spicy]

so why did DJ and Steve breakup in the first place?

"There’s a point where nostalgia becomes more like necrophilia, and Fuller House immediately crosses that line," says Hank Stuever. "Exhumed on the pretense of millennial desire (you loved the show as kids; you’ll love it even more as stunted, binge-watching adults), Netflix’s *13-episode revival of the old ABC sitcom Full House is less an update than an irony-free pantomime of the past. It represents a new low in the current culture’s inability to leave behind the blankies, binkies and wubbies of one’s youth.” PLUS: Fuller House is selling a memory — one that is a "self-conscious, dated and maudlin reminder of the ceaseless march of time and your inevitable demise,” it should’ve been called "The Same Show, 29 Years Later,” Fuller House's semen jokes are like “jarring jolts of modernity,” it is like a porn parody without the porn, the first episode contains more fan service than The Force Awakens, what it's like to binge-watch through the entire season at 3 am, Andrea Barber is the revival’s MVP despite not acting for two decades, it is everything Full House fans will want, Bob Saget can’t wait till the Fullest House reboot, in defense of Carly Rae Jepsen’s terrible Fuller House theme, and creator Jeff Franklin calls leaving Full House “honestly the biggest regret of my life.”

Full House was despised by critics in the 80s and 90s so I never thought they would like this reboot anyway. The audience for this is adults who watched the original show as kids and kids who like stuff like Liv and Maddie and Good Luck Charlie.

 

[TheVileOne]

I feel like it's the same show. Characters are a little older.

I haven't watched the show yet but I can immediately tell this critic has a real distaste for anything from the 80's or 90's (people who grew up in them especially). Nostalgia is a four letter swear to this guy and he will not have it repeated around him. Looking at his biography, he's also quite a bit older than the audience it is targeting further making him sound like a whiny Baby Boomer. The big damner though, he gave praise to "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo". This man has no taste.

loved that!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Finished the season. I liked the show. The kids are interesting.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

It's legit good. Way better than Girl Meets World.

 

[kguillou]

Despite what critics are saying I think this is gonna get big numbers for Netflix. Its gonna get renewed. Then again, Netflix pretty much renews all of its shows regardless. Lol

 

[Teelie]

They have cancelled a few shows but it is all on their own terms, not some lopsided and poorly interpeted numbers from an out of date sampling system run by Nielsen ratings.
