After five excruciating seasons of varying levels of mediocrity informed by a nostalgia-obsessed culture run rampant, Fuller House will soon be over. This is great news for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who wouldn’t have shown up for the funeral anyway.
According to E!, John Stamos, the other one, another guy, and some not-Lori Loughlins filmed the show’s final episode on Friday, later celebrating with karaoke at the wrap party. (Candace Cameron-Bure, aka DJ, apparently does a mean version of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.”) The cast also took turns posting sentimental Instagram captions. Here’s one of them:
I suppose props should be given to the Fuller House crew for managing to push the recent trend of reboots into unknown territory: recurring seasons instead of instant death. First airing in 2016, the Full House revival was able to bypass novelty and become a show someone(?) enjoyed watching, and for that, they should be proud. Maybe proud is the wrong word… perhaps they should simply collect their coin for doing a great job revisiting the late-’80s/early-’90s, as if no time had passed, and reacclimate to the real world. It’s not great out here, but at least it’s not as formulaic as Fuller House.
