As they say, everything comes full circle and you know that better than anyone, what with Full House making a wonderful comeback with Fuller House.
We started watching Full House in 1990. It was a great show, refreshing and also more importantly, spoke to the fact that not all families are made up of a mom, dad and two kids. A wonderful message. We loved the show, my two kids and I. It was part of the “TGIF’ line up – pizza, TGIF and we were good for the evening.
When my daughter was in 3rd grade, I took her and a friend to see The Beach Boys at Poplar Creek in Hoffman Estates, IL. It was a warm August night and the outdoor venue of Poplar Creek was always one of my favorites. We sang along with the Beach Boys and oh, man —shrieking and hysteria ensued —Uncle Jesse was on stage playing along with the Beach Boys.
All of the girls in the audience and on the lawn dashed down to the stage to get a closer look. It was a night to remember.
These two girls are now 31 years old and my daughter’s friend always remembers her ‘first concert.’
Now, my daughter has a daughter who is 6 years old. And yup, they watch Fuller House together. My granddaughter informing us that it is 29 years later. She, however, never saw the original.
I got the whole first season from the local library and on a sick day when I had her, we watched all 22 episodes. It was great. We are now on Season 2.
Recently my daughter and granddaughter got a new dog.
There was never a doubt: my granddaughter named him ‘Uncle Jesse.’
So, Uncle Jesse and the gang live on in our family history. Thanks, it’s really been a blast.
