This show is so of its time. Are they going to rework it to reflect today's television? Really, it wasn't that good to begin with. I wonder what Kirk Cameron thinks of this.

ShadowDog Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 One critic made a good point in comparing it to fast food TV. Questioning what lasting cultural impact it actually had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If Netflix is doing it they have a good idea it will be watched. Pretty certain they have vast amounts of data on what is being streamed and rented. There must be an audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Ender Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I heard the reviews were terrible--as in epic terrible. I was doing some work tonight and I put it on for background noise. After cringing through the first episode, I started to like it. I like it a lot. There was a lot more adult humor than I thought (the plumber/ date mix-up) there would be. I still can't stand Joey and Kimmie. Jesse and Danny are great. Perfect parts cheese, camp, nostalgia. Anyone else watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I did. The first episode was like a really long SNL skit. But then, I agree, I actually started to like it. I wouldn't call it good, but I liked it nonetheless. I like the new kids as well. Especially Max and Ramona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Dameron Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm mesmerized by how young John Stamos and Lori Loughlin look. You'd think 5 years had gone by for them, not 20. Anyway, I'm afraid I bailed after the first 10 minutes. All of which was a series of someone showing up and the audience applauding. You can get away with it for a bit, but do Jesse and Rebecca's twin boys really merit a walk-in applause? I wonder if they were trying to chase people away. I'm not super-shocked it gets better though. The cast remains very talented and Full House is, for better or worse, their legacy. They wouldn't waste their time on something that's just an embarrassing cash-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good God a Bear Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yeah I rarely listen to critics anymore. They all seem to have an agenda just like everyone else in the media. It wasn't great but it wasn't nearly as terrible as they made it out to be. I actually enjoyed it after the first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 As someone with a film degree with a focus in critical studies, I have absolutely no ****ing idea what kind of agenda a film/television critic could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 What does that even mean? People will love critics more if they convince them to hate a movie that's actually good? ... What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good God a Bear Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Media these days like to build up to tear down. Plus I've noticed some critics will absolutely hate something because of something in the past. Person A was director so no matter what they are not going to hate it.

Poe Dameron Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 What does that even mean? People will love critics more if they convince them to hate a movie that's actually good? ... What?In some cases, sure. To take an extreme example, you think the Angry Video Game Nerd really hates those games as much as he says? Then you get guys like The Nostalgia Critic who started off following that formula, and seeing the limitations after they established themselves, pivoted into being more respectable and even mannered in their reviews. What I'm really saying is that the review itself is a product. The above are internet examples which show it in the extreme, but even mainstream reviewers have the same pressures. And they want above all, for people to read/watch them, to be influential, and to stay gainfully employed. The critic's reputation is important, so they may be less willing to fully blast a popular bad movie, or embrace one that everyone else agrees is terrible. They may write the review to be more entertaining rather than strictly objective. Easier targets, like Fuller House, are safe to do that with.
