6 Reasons Not to Watch "Fuller House"

It's no secret that Full House was one of the biggest hits of the '90's. However, the series reprise Fuller House is shy of being what it's original ever was. Don't get me wrong, it's a cute show and it's full of nostalgia for those wonderful Full House moments, but it is still shy of being a hit. Here's why:

1) It's basically a repeat. The show is totally a redo of Full House. There's a single widower raising 3 children of a single gender who are the same ages that DJ, Michelle, and Stephanie were at the beginning of the original show. Not only that, but they have a dog of the same breed that the Tanner family had. Once again there's a cool aunt just as Uncle Jesse was the cool uncle, a "not so cool" parent, and a very immature best friend moving in. The only real difference is that Kimmy's daughter and lover move in with the family as well.


2) With that being said, an entire other family moving in is creepy. Kimmy had her reasons for moving in, but why did she choose to raise her daughter in a house with a teenage boy her age? Furthermore, why did she bring her lover (husband former but still romantic partner) to live with the women in the house? And why do they allow it? That's just very creepy, especially with his playboy reputation.


3) Kimmy makes the show super annoying. None of us even liked the annoying best friend when Full House was on. Having her return as a main character was the worst decision the show could've possibly made. The show could've been so much better without the immature best friend who only wants to stir up trouble in the most obnoxious ways possible.


4) Speaking of obnoxious... DJ's son Max is the most obnoxious character on the show. He's supposed to be a cute character, and sometimes he is. But more often than not, all he does is yell with his super raspy voice. It's not as cute as it is irritating.


5) The acting is awful. No one is convincing. Everything is so forced. All of the acting looks so amateur and painful to watch. I realize that it's just a TV show, but look at the Netflix show Daredevil. That show has convincing acting.


6) It's supposed to be a family show, but the humor deviates from that. I'm all for slipping subtle humor into kid's movies so long as it isn't over the top. I mean, make it enjoyable for the kids and the parents. However, Fuller House restrains from all subtlety in its incorporation of adult humor. It as all of the immaturity of a child-friendly show, but then the main characters get drunk, experience hook-ups, and advocate for other behaviors that children shouldn't be exposed to. Be a show for the family or for the parents, but don't try to mix the two. It just won't work.


I'm disappointed to say that Fuller House has gone far below all expectations I had for it. What's your opinion?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
