Bringing Full House to Netflix
IMAGINE: It’s 2004. You just woke up on a Saturday morning. You go downstairs, get out your cereal, and go to sit in front of the TV to watch some Saturday morning specials. You scroll through the TV guide, when you come across different channels. Channels like Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Teen Nick, TVLand, Discovery Channel, and so many more. You see different titles, different shows, different movies, when all of a sudden your eyes are drawn to that one special TV show. A perfected 30 minute, amazingly casted, hilariously pre-recorded and gigantically popular preteen sitcom that you know you can’t miss out on. Open your eyes. Now, most of the people born between the time of 1990-2001 are probably thinking of three shows automatically- Boy Meets World, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and Full House. Today, I want to express what most of us 90’s kids are missing while we search the extravagant world of Netflix, and how the addition of Full House will bring in a bigger audience.
Growing up in the 90’s, kids everywhere were supplied with the plethora of family sitcoms that took over the teenage globe. By creating this wildly relatable storylines and plot twists, more and more kids around the world were introduced to Full House. This show is honestly the most popular TV sitcom of all time- in terms of the age group. If you were to go to every 18 year old you know, and ask them what their favorite sitcom was as a kid, they would tell you it’s Full House. The mind of a preteen was very much opened wide with comedy if you were to watch Full House, and a lot of parents seemed to like it as well. I find myself always looking out for it while I’m on my TV guide, and although it’s always on, it’s always on REPEAT. If I were to watch the same channel for three days straight, out of the 15 showing of Full House, there would only be 4 different episodes. BLASPHEMOUS!
As time goes by, and technology changes, it’s become more and more relevant to save money and throw out your cable. In this time of saving, we must think about the TV shows that are crazy popular on cable, and transfer them on to Netflix. This is an idea that many 16- late 20’s people are writing while the suggest ideas to Netflix, and it hasn’t seemed to be working. Although cable is still used in many homes, the same amount of people only use Netflix and Hulu plus. Is it fair to us 90’s kids to be ripped away from our favorite TV shows forever?
