With the newly released "Fuller House" having been released on Netflix this week, I thought I would make this next post about "Full House."

Full House was a sitcom that ran in the late-eighties and early nineties. It takes place in San Francisco, and it is about a single dad, Danny Tanner, who has suddenly lost his wife in a car accident and is left to raise his three daughters DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle. Danny asks his brother-in-law, Jesse, and his best friend, Joey, to move in with him to help him raise his girls. The family grows even bigger throughout the show as "Uncle Jesse" marries Becky and has twins.

This is a fun, light-hearted family show about one big happy family living together, even if they aren't all related. It's kind of cheesy, but in a the good ol' nineties way

The show is a generally family-friendly comedy, but there were some deeper moments in the show, a couple of which I'll touch on down below.
