'Fuller House': Fans bid bittersweet farewell to Tanner-Fuller-Gibblers as Netflix's 'Full House' spin-off ends
After 33 years, it's time to bid farewell to the Tanner household once again as Netflix's 'Full House' spin-off, 'Fuller House' finally came to an end. After ups and downs over the past five seasons, the she-wolf pack comprising DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) all got married to their respective fiances.
We also got to see the return of our favorite characters from the original show including Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier), with the noted exceptions of Michelle Tanner (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) and Becky Katsopolis (Lori Loughlin). It was a bittersweet ending as the Tanners and Gibblers decided to stay together after all, despite deciding to move separately after the wedding. Moreover, the 25+ year wait for Steve Hale (Scott Weinger) and DJ to make it official made the ending worthwhile. Stephanie's last-minute announcement that she was pregnant also touched us.
Fans turned to 'Fuller House' for one final farewell as one tweeted, "I still cannot believe we were blessed with such a fantastic dose of nostalgia. I remember how happy I was when Fuller House was announced 5 years ago. Full House and Fuller House will always be a part of me. Thank you, #FullerHouse! See you in 20 years, Fullest House!"
Another wrote, "I grew up watching 'Full House'. I watched it over and over again, driving my parents crazy. Years later, the show came back to me and brought me back to my childhood. Today I said 'adios, Tanneritos' one last time and I'm an emotional wreck. Thank U for a perfect finale #FullerHouse." One fan observed, "A HUGE thank you to @fullerhouse (cast/crew). *Thank you* for 33 yrs (my *ENTIRE LIFE*) of memories. You've given me countless smiles, laughter, and were my positive outlet throughout a lifetime of personal pain. Thank you for giving us a wonderful conclusion."
Fans also loved to see some scenes that referred to moments from 'Full House'. One wrote, "I loved how they managed to re-enact some of the most famous scenes from #FullHouse including Stephanie driving Joey's car into the kitchen, Steph and DJ's telethon performances and so many more. I'm just so happy and sad at the same time. Thank you for coming back." Another tweeted, "Jimmy dancing on love shack is the best!" To recall, Jimmy Gibbler's (Adam Hagenbuch) now-wife, Stephanie danced the same routine in 'Full House'.
So, will the franchise make a return again in another decade? Only time will tell, however, fans do hope it happens. One fan wrote, "I hope we see them again in another decade. FULLEST HOUSE! #FullerHouse," while another tweeted, "Couldn't wait to binge the very last episodes. I’m so sad that there won’t be anymore. I absolutely loved the entire series. I wish @netflix would reconsider and bring it back or in a movie. The world needs #fullerhouse right now."
All seasons of 'Fuller House' are now streaming on Netflix.
