Letting a long-canceled sitcom stay dead when you could bring it back and make some sweet, sweet cash? No way, Jose! Netflix is reportedly nearing a deal for a sequel series to the ABC sitcom Full House, which you probably remember best as the source for an endless string of annoying sitcom catchphrases. (I know, I know. How rude!)
TV Line reports that the series, titled Fuller House, will consist of 13 episodes following an adult D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) and her annoying friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). John Stamos, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier are all expected to guest star.
No word on the Beach Boys, but given that Full House single-handedly kept them afloat in the early 90s, it's hard to imagine they won't pop in for a quick "Kokomo." —Scott Meslow
