Everyone remembers Full House a television sitcom that was broadcast every night or Friday nights. Now it has returned as Fuller House on Netflix. One of my favorite sitcom when I was younger and still don't mind watching it once in a while.
In a continuation of Full House, D.J. Fuller is a mother of three young boys and is a recent widow. D.J.'s sister Stephanie, her best friend Kimmy and Kimmy's teenage daughter all move in to help her raise her sons. The house is now a lot fuller!
With no sound and watching the expression of their faces and body language, they all seem to be very open and loving to each other. There was a scene in the first episode where D.J's expression was frustrated, she runs upstairs, picks up her son and is in tears because there was so much going on before she went upstairs. With a lot of hugs and smiles with the characters, they all seem to get along and have good communication with each other.
My assumptions about the show was having the main characters in the television show and not just the kids. I thought that the main characters like John Stamos, Bob Saget, Lori Loughlin, David Alan Coulier, and Mary Kate Olsen would be on the sitcom, but the focus was on Candance Cameron-Bure and her three boys. My assumptions were wrong with the whole sitcom. Watching the show without the talking and with the talking, I have a better understanding of what was going on and the expressions on their faces.
I haven't yet seen this show, but I can only imagine how informative the facial expressions must have been! Did you find that your contextual understanding of the show helped you to follow along clearly? How would you have reacted differently had you never seen the original version?
ReplyDeleteAlyssa,
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't see the original show. I would have been able to follow through but confused all at the same time. They showed flash back of the original show with the new version. It's a family sitcom show, both version very similar, but different actors, actresses and scenario.

Maria,
ReplyDeleteFull House was a Friday night choice of mine as well as Family Matters and a few others. Had I not watched all the episodes the Friday they came out on Netflix I would have been able to use that show. However, I do believe that based on the similarities of Full House and Fuller House a clear understanding would have been possible. The writers used slang that was used regularly in the original show, roles were repeated single parent received assistance from two persons to keep the household in order, and as you mentioned that strong family support.
