I thought the same thing, boo! I showed my parents the first episode of it and they both remarked that he looked dreadful. I almost thought that when Stamos said his line about "Damn we all still look good," they might cut to Stamos "on accident" out of perversity.

 

I binged the entire season last weekend. I rather enjoyed it! I agree with everyone else that it got a lot better as the season progressed. I know I watched bits and pieces of the regular show when it was on (or perhaps in reruns) but I don't think I was watching every episode or anything.

 

Was I the only one who found Kimmy's husband obnoxious? He was as a complete racial caricature. Not only that but is it supposed to be a positive message that his betrayal and infidelity is a mere punch line and then she

I hope he is written out next season.

 

 

I found the show amusing, I chuckled a few dozen times and smiled a lot but did anyone else not genuinely laugh a whole lot while watching the show? Maybe I am too accustomed now to humor that actually has some finesse and wit behind it. The forced AF laugh track didn't help matters. But still, I certainly didn't LOL a lot.

 

Stephanie and Max (DJ's youngest son) were by far my favorite characters.

 

Loved seeing soap alums John Brotherton and Ryan McPartlin getting some work!

I never cared for him on Passions. He wasn't bad or good on Passions. I just never paid close attention to him. Recently I got to see him in the Christmas Movie with Blossom….and damn wow….now I sure paid attention to him….he looks so good at 40.  On Fuller House he plays a character named Tyler. Who is Tyler?

I thought the show had quite a few genuine laughs. It felt more natural and funny as the show went on. You could see everyone get more comfortable. I thought, for example, Steve had me laughing out loud quite a few times. Several very funny episodes.

 

I'm not Candace's biggest fan in regards to her personal beliefs, but it's a sitcom and people need to sit down about her "lowering" herself. Please. The show actually softened my dislike of her, LOL

Yes, the first episode was basically everything about Full House that people both loved and hated about it. It's packed full of self references and nods to the original series. I didn't love the fourth wall breaking by Stamos in Episode 2 but it worked in Episode 1. The first episode, probably minus DJ's dead husband and spin-off set up of course, was mostly the finale the original series should have had. Served as a reunion/set-up. It was slightly clunky, and felt like many were rusty. The rest of the show itself develops a really nice vibe, imho. I've actually re-watched a few. I wasn't the biggest fan of the original, but I liked it. I actually prefer this take on it. Or maybe it's just hitting me differently.

 

The rest of the episodes are worth checking out. It starts to gel after a few episodes. I don't think it comes off nearly as bad cheese as the original but the tone is similar. Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber are really fantastic IMO and Candace eventually starts to get warm and come off less ... fake. JMO.

It must be something you had to grow up watching or be a cultural American thing because I watched the next two episodes and I can't watch anymore. It's just way too cheesy and cutesy and the acting is not good. And plus, I don't want to be mean about kids, but those kids are some of the worst child actors I've ever seen and that middle son is obnoxious.

Just started watching this and didnt realize the actual cast was so small. I thought more of the originals were cast members and not just special guests

 

Surprised those are the same twins that played Nicky and Alex bc they look nothing like their younger selves. Are they fraternal twins bc I used to think they were identical but they dont resemble each other at all now

 

I wish this show were a bit more original. All the roles are just genderswapped from the first series w/the exception of Ramona. This show relies too heavily on nostalgia

 

Favorite character? Stephanie. Wasnt much of a fan in the original but digging her here

 

I like Kimmy and Fernando and kinda root for them. The actor is also pretty hot

 

Ramona is hella annoying, like her mother was at that age

 

That episode I watched was the club one (I think Ep3). DJ is so god damn corny. Like I couldnt hang out with her. im surprised the middle kid got in on the pranks and wasnt upset bc if they were building him up to be a mini Danny, I would have thought he'd freak out by the mess

    • Okay, here's another way to access the drag segment we've been working on the IDs for.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJR8Ymhpx22/ The 14th Annual Soap Opera Digest Awards 1998 The Opening & the First Segment Guys in Drag on Daytime AW Cass & Jake DAYS Ivan GH Kevin & Mac BEACH Eddie
    • In all fairness, during the 90s (post Rex's death) Kay was often rarely onscreen except for visiting Nikki on the Newman ranch and it would have sense that she was BUSY at Chancellor Industries the rest of the time...

    • Don't even put that idea out there!  
    • I liked the food poisoning angle on Thursday because I said beforehand that I would be annoyed if Vanessa was not there at her BFF's party. And I loved they already planned ahead in the dialogue. lol.   But watching the scene (and a bit of a rewind), it hit me. Wait is she...??? Ooo gurrrl. lol. 
    • I'm not at all surprised the 10 lowest-rated episodes are all from Season Seven. Moving The Golden Girls from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. was foolish.
    • As the folklore goes, Love Boat episodes generally had one "heart" story, one "laughs" story, and one "tears" story. I guess Hotel just stuck with "heart" and "tears."
    • I thought food poisoning was an odd reason for Vanessa to miss the party.  That's why I appreciate reading everyone's comments and theories on this thread.  Oh!!  It hadn't occurred to me to speculate that she might be pregnant. I figured that she and Doug ate different things.  But pregnancy fits better.  I did think Shanice's dialogue delivery was slightly awkward (unusual for her)... but that would make sense if Shanice knew Vanessa had a pregnancy test but Vanessa said don't tell Doug.  I love all this theorizing/speculating, especially since we have no idea what will happen.
    • I want that as well, but given how much I've been playing catch-up during some personal/family drama, it's been background music with very little to hold my interest. Then I saw a spoiler and rolled my eyes.   Very. I guess JG is hitting another of his low points. 
    • Well...unexpected wiggle room is still wiggle room.   I went back and finally rewatched Friday's episode (along with Thursday's). And God, how those episodes flowed. It did help that Zimmerman did the breakdowns for both so the plot threads were cohesive. I do wonder if she did it today as well. Martin and Tate also of course did good scripts. And I might have to take back my earlier comment about the crowd. While it was not like Nicole's Award Event where I felt there were more extras (and was in the minority on that), I felt this one did not have enough (also in the minority). But on a rewatch, I did like that Production actually did a fairly decent job of covering it up so kudos.    I also wanted to take the moment to say the majority of the week before last (and this past week) were full of cliffhangers. Perhaps not what is used to, but they were there. And I loved that since the majority of said cliffhangers were connected to Silk Press Sheila, it gave an intensity and build to the last week leading to this superb episode that gave us not only an old school soap reveal (complete with moments to let the scenes breathe, but annoyed in how other scenes which were also good did not compare...another sign of knowing when a reveal is great) but, THREE cliffhangers!!! Well-done, Cliffhanger Friday!!!   Ms. Mann and Ms. Michelle were clearly the stars. I've said it once someone mentioned it and I'll say it again...Ambyr just gives so much SMG's version of Kendall on AMC in Eva, and I love that. And that reveal on Silk Press Sheila...WOW. Great to have confirmation that BILL was the lawyer. Even better to see Silk Press interacting with all of the Duprees and not being a bit scared. And yes, I caught that she was preggers at the same time as Nicole. I also caught in the Martin vs Ted scene when he was talking about the timeline was another clue...since we discussed the timeline during Kat's birthday party episodes and how odd it was that Silk Press Sheila would celebrate Eva's birthday if the weeks were off. UNLESS...they're not. I just feel they would not be mentioning it unless SilkPress has a 90s DAYS Sami Trump card incoming. And 90s DAYS Sami Brady ALWAYS had a trump card. So...looking forward to today. lol.    I'm also going to be in the minority about the next thought. I thought Maurice did a good job as Ted in the reveal scenes. Though I do agree that compared to everyone else...even his FOINE doctor friend...he was the weak leak. DD was giving and she was in the background reacting. The Avengers...I mean...the Duprees closing ranks...was great and also showed how in sync the actors were. Naomi being sure Chels was not filming THIS time was a hoot. And I lived for Kat's shade among the mess. I'm happy that we are here at this reveal with OriginalTed since the rumor (marking preemptions) we are a little under two weeks to go before he's out.   I liked the layers. One thing that I like about this show. We usually mention something here and then the show writers have it mentioned either in episode or immediately in the next. The SilkPress/Eva picture last week. Where is Naomi/Vanessa this week of episodes. And they got to it. Well-played. I also like the reveal that Martin knew SilkPress as a kid, calling back to that weird scene with the brownie. I mentioned the Bill-as-Lawyer scene, calling back to Bill/Vernon's first alone scene. The reveal of all of SilkPress's many names. The fact that Andre and Dani continue to grow closer and closer and had a near-miss...something this show knows how to do extremely well for me. Their near-misses built up the drama and story, and I see how much I'm invested when we have them. The whole Silk Press Sheila story being the best example.    I see from a few of the comments some of you all are already thinking about those consequences toward Bill that I was thinking about on Friday.

           And while I did not like the Vanessa/Doug scenes at first view...though I love they followed up on her food poisoning phone call on Thursday...I liked it on second watch. Partly because it gave another hint that Doug has some idea of what Vanessa is doing...if not who.  Partly because I had assumed that Doug got poisoned, too. Seeing it was just Vanessa confused me since I thought they were out at dinner pre-party. That said...I go back to my original thought in that moment. Has Vanessa being having all this sex without protection and we are going to get a WTD with Doug, Diego, and whoever else she has been with? Uh oh?    And I continue to also love how flashbacks are used. Rare do they show a flashback to a prior episode unless it's important so those are well done. And then you have the flashbacks like the one with Bill/Dani that informs the audience. And I loved that green dress. But tbf, I loved the feistiness of her red dress. Andre was not alone in taking her in.    And someone mentioned it the other day and I wanted to echo it. One thing I like about this show that I don't see much in the other soaps to this degree has been that several of the characters have their own personal style for sure, but the men's style really have stood out for me since its started. Ted being a clear example with his turtlenecks and general...for lack of better word at the moment manly...to him. I like that about the men where other men styles on other soaps just blend together.    Looking forward to Kat v Eva, Anita vs Silk Press Sheila, and Nicole vs Ted today.    Did I mention I was happy Clifton was back?
