To you. Doesn't mean it's not doing well (Girl Meets World).

Full House (a little bit too much cheese for me but there IS an audience for it) is actually doing well on Nick@Nite and pulling in around a million viewers a night and it airs a billion episodes in a row. I'd imagine Nickelodeon would be interested. They've been trying to launch sitcoms for a little while now. They tried Scott Baio and now are trying one of the Mowry girls, which seems to be doing better, I guess. Don't watch or follow the ratings for it.

I could see it getting GMW #s if it's done right.

I'd imagine it would focus on Candace Cameron Bure (who is all over the place after Dancing with the Stars ended) and DJ. Kimmy and Stephanie move in with DJ and they raise their kids together, or help one of them raise their kids. It's not too hard to sort of guess due to who is involved in the project. Only so much they can do.

The show isn't for everyone, but it's a very popular show. VERY popular. It only ended on ABC because it was so expensive. The WB nearly picked it up when they were launching.

I find Full House to be one of the worst shows ever created. I can see its appeal to children though, as it was very much geared to kids and tweens.

But damn, as an adult with no children, I could never watch this show. It's beyond corny and unrealistic. Too much of this show can give me a tooth ache with its saccharine nature.

This possible reboot needs to be on Disney or ABC Family, it could never do well on a network TV channel is this current climate.

The only things I ever liked about this show the first time around were Bob Saget, Lori Laughlin, Candice Cameron, sometimes Dave Coulier.

I'm tired of these remakes that never go anywhere and are a cheap cash grab.

Frankly the first one ran too long as it was.

Same. Weren't D.J. and Kimmy in college by the time the show was over? It seems to me that having the oldest child graduate from high school and leave the (full) house was the perfect time in which to wrap things up.

      Kevin Kline's description of soap fans makes me laugh.

      Not to ramble too far off topic but it happens a lot with comics too, especially only wanting to keep cheap talent around and pushing out creative voices. There are some patches where creatives can go to start their own worlds...wish that was true with soaps, but who knows, maybe it can happen someday. I never thought we'd get a new soap this year.

      Very true & also at least in the case of stand-out HWs, it is fraught with exhaustion & burnout.

      Plus we are never going to have a Shonda Rhimes, a Dick Wolf, or a Chuck Lorre of daytime -- a single brilliant person who could come in and change the genre -- because Shonda, Dick, or Chuck would only be able to work on one soap opera at a time, not three or four at the same time as they do in primetime.  As long as TPTB insist on the 60-minute format, we will never have another super influential individual like Phillips, Nixon, or Bell.  They simply would never have time to do more than one soap opera at a time and that would stifle their influence overall. Thanks. So maybe this is happening to some degree in other entertainment genres.  I don't keep up with the particular franchises you mentioned, so I was unaware.  I appreciate your perspective.

      I think it's become more common in other genres in recent decades, as the industry as a whole has collapsed - these are complaints that have been made about creative talents in the MCU, Star Wars, Doctor Who, etc.  The MCU is in that place now as they burnt so much goodwill that even when their new movie got strong reviews, the audience didn't show up - similar to how AW got some praise for their 89-93 material compared to some of the barren years beforehand, but viewers just weren't coming back.  (I know they did return, somewhat, in the JFP run, but not enough to make up for the big budget she used)

      I mean I really hope so. Still kinda amazed though that it would get by Standards & Practices. A pair that was talked about that I could see it was Jacob Young & that guy who kept changing what name he went by Someone Martines at least part of the time, but at any rate Jacob was playing Lucky & this other guy was playing Nikolas.

      Excellent explication. That doing it in these two examples, is not like doing it in other similar genres or franchises, so one could easily postulate that the people who hire do not generally consider "newbies" but instead insist upon experienced people, which leads to rehiring rather than hiring from "outside" which is what your closed system is all about.  When you think about it how many people can you name who did soaps who came from outside? I can only think of 3 HWs : Pete Lemay, Hogan Sheffer & Michael Malone. For EPs only 2: Wendy Riche & Linda Gottlieb
