AceShowbiz - After "Fuller House", will we get "Fullest House"? Bob Saget thinks it's possible, if the Netflix revival gets warm response from the audience. Speaking with EW about "Fuller House", the actor who makes multiple guest appearances on the sequel pitches an idea for the potential new series he calls "Fullest House".
"What we're expecting it to do is be so beloved by the fans that later there will be a 'Fullest House', which will be the children of the new kids on the show," he shares his idea. "And I will come out of Cryovac cave. [You know] how aliens sleep for a thousand years? They'll just open some thing, and I'll still be there. I'll be able to do it. I can do it from a nursing home. I don't care. I will never let the legacy be tarnished."
Of what to expect on "Fuller House", Saget says, "I think they should expect 'Full House'." Claiming that the sequel maintains the theme and tone of the original series, he adds, "To me, it's as close to what it was. It's really the same type of themes. I mean, the basis of the show is Candace [Cameron Bure] is a single mom and needs help raising her three sons. So there you go. They went and flipped the whole damn thing, didn't they?"
"I think they executed the concept very well," says Saget who plays the warm-hearted patriarch Danny Tanner. "It feels like you're watching the old show. But it doesn't feel like you're watching something retro. You're not watching 'The Brady Bunch Movie' with fake wigs and stuff. You're watching everybody now."
Saget says John Stamos, Jeff Franklin and Robert L. Boyett who executive produce "Fuller House" have made sure that it maintains the original show's legacy. "John, and Jeff Franklin, and Bob Boyett definitely wanted the integrity of it to be there and not to smear the legacy. It's so funny to take it so seriously, but it needed to be taken seriously, and you didn't want to disappoint the fans, and I really do think most people will not be disappointed by it. The work of Candace, and Jodie [Sweetin], and Andrea [Barber] is just fantastic, and they're the tentpoles of that show," he gushes.
As the result, when Saget "walked in and saw the set... It's like going back to your old house and everything is the way it used to be."
"Fuller House" focuses on the recently widowed D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), who is now a veterinarian and mother of three sons. She enlists the help of her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber) to move in and help her raise her boys after her husband died. John Stamos, (Uncle Jesse), Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey), Scott Weinger (Steve Hale) and Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky) are also back for the revival.
It will be released Friday, February 26 on Netflix.
