The highly-anticipated "Full House" spinoff sequel, "Fuller House", premieres later this week on Netflix, and everywhere, fans of the 90s sitcom are rejoicing. As someone who has seen every episode probably hundreds of times, I cannot wait to see the gang back together again, this time to help D.J. raise her three children. Although I wasn't even alive for most of the show's original run - thanks Nick at Nite reruns! - I can guarantee I am just as excited for the new series as someone who watched regularly back in the day. If you're "Full House"-obsessed like me, then you're probably hoping to see these things at some point during the series, especially if you've seen the trailers.
A Mary-Kate and/or Ashley Olsen appearance as Michelle
Mary-Kate and Ashley are the only regular cast members from the original series who aren't returning for the new show. I mean, "Full House" made them so famous that they ended up with a few of their own TV shows, movies, dolls, etc., and later, created their own fashion line, so it probably doesn't surprise anyone that they aren't part of "Fuller House." But the Tanner family is incomplete without Michelle, so at least one appearance from the Olsen twins would make my year.
D.J. and Steve getting back together
At the very end of the original series, Steve shows up to take DJ to her senior prom after they'd been broken up for over a year. We never knew if that magical night led to anything more, but maybe things will finally be resolved in this series. "Fuller House", like its predecessor, is about a single parent raising three children with the help of some family and friends, and D.J. is now single. Steve does make an appearance in the latest trailer; life would be complete if they end up together, this time for good.
An update on Nicky and Alex
Jesse and Becky's twins are also in the trailer, and I couldn't have been more excited to see grown-up Nicky and Alex be part of "Fuller House" as well. Since we don't know what happened during the last 20 years of their lives, it would be cool to know more about them and see them continue to navigate their own adult lives on this show. Soon-to-be and recent college graduates could relate.
A new family dog
Of course, Comet can never be replaced, but it wouldn't be the Tanner house without an adorable dog. I hope to see an episode where Stephanie finds another stray dog and brings it home for the family to adopt.
Another Tanner family trip to Disney World
What a great two-part episode. I bet they'd have a good time again, because it's Disney World. But who will be Princess of the Day this time? "Fuller House" needs to answer this.
If you aren't already eager for this show to finally arrive, here is the trailer for your nostalgic viewing pleasure: BRB, signing up for a Netflix account.
