Fuller House season 3 declining in quality

Netflix has been thriving on famous television shows’ reunions, such as Gilmore Girls, 90210 and then Fuller House. For the first season of Fuller House, released in February of 2016, the idea was cute, family friendly and a twist on a classic show. However, now entering the third season, the content quality is continually getting worse.

In the previous seasons, DJ is raising her three boys and all the old characters return to the original home of the Tanners. Throughout the season, the show follows DJ’s love triangle with her high school sweetheart, Steve, and her coworker, Matt. They constantly are fighting over her and dying to maintain her attention. The love triangle continues into the second season.

The second season did not stay true to the plot and was considerably unorganized, but the overall execution was decently produced.

Then, season three was released this past Friday. After hitting “watch,” I was not prepared for the opening scene. Or should I say, opening number.

The season begins with the children and parents singing a musical number about it finally being summer. Immediately, I was uninterested and extremely confused. Not only was it unnecessary, it was simply unentertaining and not comedical. It was a useless scene and took away time that could have been used for something more action packed or interesting. It was painful to watch and caused my original thoughts on “Full House” to also deplete. The cheesiness and the producers of “Fuller House” trying to hard to make this show successful is slowly scarring the legacy of the television show.

Considering “Full House” was also known for its cliche episodes, I continued watching the season in attempt to give it a chance for redemption. However, I was still disappointed.

The child actors sound staged and over rehearsed, rather than the somewhat natural, normal attitude the original cast members had. The addition of sound effects of a live audience provide an old school vibe, but overemphasize certain actions that are not as significant as they portray them to be.

The Gibblers, Tanners, Fullers and everyone else in the show are putting forth a noticeably grand effort to please the fans of “Full House.” While it is undeniably a victory on its own that they were able to reform almost the entire cast from the original show, it is threatening to demean the reputation and ranking of the show.

Over 30 years after the first airing of “Full House,” it might be time to lay the tale of the Tanners to rest. Instead, it is rumored that this season will be split into two parts. Once again unnecessary, they should have put the season all together. Instead, the franchise is attempting to make as much money off of the show as possible.

“Fuller House” was a good idea in theory, but the mass cheesiness and simplistic plot has become boring. As each season progresses, the content’s quality has become less and less significant. It would only be expected that if the rumors of a second part of season three is confirmed, then it will only get worse from here.
