It’s still unclear exactly who was clamoring for an update on early ’90s ABC sitcom “Full House,” but in this age of nostalgia-fueled greenlighting anything is up for grabs.
And so we have “Fuller House,” which employs excessive contrivances to put newly widowed mother-of-three D.J. Fuller (nee Tanner, played still by Candace Cameron Bure) into the plush San Francisco townhouse in which she grew up. Seriously, I’m starting to think that that house, or at least the lineage of Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), is cursed — the premise of the original having also hinged on a dead spouse.
But don’t worry, our newly single mom is not alone.
