WMG / Fuller House

Go To

Fuller House will be dubbed and aired on Japan's NHK's ETV in 2018/2019.

  • After the it released on Netflix in 2016, there will be future chances for the Japanese dub to air on NHK like they did on the original series.
    • Jossed: It will premiere on Netflix in most countries, including Japan, in February 26, 2016.
    • And then confirmed. Netflix premiers the undubbed "original" version, and NHK will then premier the dubbed version. Keep in mind not all non-English countries' citizen understands English, so the "original" may be unintelligible to some.
    • The Netflix version is multilingual: You select your desired language in the settings screen and the corresponding soundtrack will play, and yes, they have a Japanese dub already made. But since the show is co-produced by Warner Horizons Television, they probably sold the TV rights anyway because the older generation of Japanese (ie the dads and moms who grew up with watching the original on TV, who're now grandpas and grandmas respectively) will still watch TV and not watch Netflix despite Japan being an technologically-advanced country. According to this Cracked article, a lot of the older generation of Japanese are surprisingly resilient to change and new technology, but unfortunately the older generation is one of the core markets of the show. It makes sense to tap them from their preferred media than fail at coaxing them to jump on new media that they do not trust.

DJ and Steve will hook up by the end of the show.
As described under Ship Sinking DJ at this point is a widow while Steve is confirmed to return.
  • Plausible. Steve tried to hook back up with DJ right in the first episode. Similar to DJ, he got into a marriage that didn't last for undisclosed reasons.
  • Jossed. She doesn't go with Steve or Matt.
    • This is only the first season tho- we will see where this goes as more seasons are produced. Logically, they probably won't let DJ finally hook up with either unless they want to end the show, and since it's still early in the show's run it's still fair game.
  • Confirmed. He proposed in the 5th season.
    • And on that note, as predicted the proposal comes in on the final season of the series.

Some of the things the characters gone through between shows.
  • Jesse and his band have made many albums.
  • Joey became a famous stand-up comedian and (voice) actor. He's famously known in Surf's Up.
  • DJ's husband was Ricky the paperboy.
    • Jossed: Her husband's name was "Tommy Fuller", a firefighter.

While Michelle won't appear, she'll still be mentioned frequently.
And she'll make calls to her family.
  • Looks plausible. She was mentioned just moments after the start of the first episode. Her sisters also allude to her in the second and the season finale.

Mary-Kate and/or Ashley will eventually be on the show if the show does well.
  • Plausable. While Ashley has expressed no interest in returning, Mary-Kate expressed interest but stated that the timing (of the first season's shoot) was not right for her, suggesting she could in the future should episodes be shot at a schedule that works for her.

The show will mix the show's old sentimentality with current taste most sitcoms become.

Any sound effects will feature Lampshade Hanging that Alex did it.
  • Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit's non-FH credits on iMDB are all as a foley artist...

If the series is successful enough, there will be a crossover with Girl Meets World
  • A pair of Gender Flipped Sequel Series to two of ABC's most popular prime time 90's shows airing at the same time? Not to mention the previous shows were already mentioned to be in continuity with each other with Urkel appearing on Full House and mentioning sending a chain letter to Cory.
    • Difficult. The two shows never interacted directly, and since the latter show is set in NYC the same logistics issue that prevented Michelle from appearing in the first season in-universe will apply here too.
      • This does not prevent a single-show Michelle-only crossover: since the girls in Girl Meets World are approaching high school ages the topic of getting jobs is becoming imminent. One of the girls may start working for Michelle somehow.
      • Here is an interesting point: it is already established that Michelle is running her fashion empire, and Maya (from Girl Meets World) is a talented artist. Maya can end up being hired at Michelle's as a fashion designer. This would not only the two show to crossover, but also recycle the premise of another ABC show, Jane by Design as a subplot for Girl Meets World. Here Michelle doesn't even need appear in most episodes.
      • On the other hand there is the issue of rights. Remember that the copyrights to Full House was sold over to Time-Warner/Warner Bros in the interim. Boy Meets World's copyrights remained with Disney (hence Girl Meets World airs on The Disney Channel). Unless Disney and WB strikes another Who Framed Roger Rabbit-level partnership, it's not going to happen.
    • Optional: Since both shows are on Netflix right now (with the latter stopped on season 2) and because Disney struck a deal with Netflix for their new and upcoming movies to be released on the service first, The crossover could be done as 1) The crossover is only on the Fuller House side and/or Girl Meets World side, or 2) The crossover would air on Disney Channel but will only be available on Fuller House's current season's episode list on Netflix (or until the episode would be accessible on Girl Meets World's episode list when the season it's a part of will be available on Netflix). Of course, all the production companies will have to figure out on how to pull it off.
      • That however causes another problem: see, Disney's agreement with Netflix is only for the Americas (try searching for a Disney show on Netflix in Asia or Europe). Disney has had an agreement with Netflix for streaming their shows in Latin and South America for several years now and they're just expanding it to North America, but definitely at this point still does not cover Europe and Asia. That would create an issue where said episodes of Fuller House will not be available outside of the Americas just because of Disney's outdated and region-coded licensing system.
    • Might occur, and only if Girl Meets World becomes a Netflix Original, due to fans clamoring for Netflix to pick up the series after it got canceled on Disney Channel. Fingers crossed...

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will both appear, one playing Michelle and one playing an actual Olsen sister.
The Olsen sisters are confirmed to exist in-universe since one character mentions wearing a dress from their fashion label.
  • You know what? I'm calling possible. It's confirmed that Mary-Kate is willing to reprise the role of Michelle if they would film an episode at a schedule that is convenient for her. And Ashley has said she's not interested in reprising the role of Michelle, but she hasn't said anything about cameoing as herself (read: Exact Words). She could not only be appearing as herself, but as a heated rival of Michelle's fashion business. Of course, this assuming they could align their shooting schedule to when the twins are available (and preferably, while back visiting California).
    • And while we're at it, might as well bring in the third Olsen sister, Elizabeth, to play the second half of Mary-Kate and Ashley. So to wit, we have Mary-Kate as Michelle, Ashley as herself, and Elizabeth Olsen playing Mary-Kate. Hilarity ensues as it opens up a goldmine of jokes and puns.
      • Except that Elizabeth's agent immediately refused the offer to let her be on the show and Elizabeth never knew about the offer, so this might be a problem if such an episode would occur.

Duane (Kimmy's boyfriend in Season 8) will appear in a Season 2 episode
  • As opposed to the friendly rivalry Steve and Matt have over DJ, he and Fernando will have a more Sitcom Arch-Nemesis-like relationship, with Fernando declaring eternal war on Duane upon learning he used to date his ex-wife, only for Duane to just reply: "Whatever."
    • Confirmed, sort of. He does show up, but he doesn't seem to want Kimmy back.

Michelle will die if none of the Olsen sisters agree to play her.
At some point, it would become inexcusable that she was never seen on the show, and that no new pictures of her were shown either. Her death in the series can symbolize the other actors giving up on the hope that the Olsen twins will return to the show.

Michelle is afraid of flights.
Combined with living in New York, it explains why she doesn't see her family as often as they would like her to.
  • Could work. They could write it that 9/11 gave her nightmares and eventually traumatized her into grounding. They could hand wave that she moved to New York as an exchange student of sorts, shortly after the first series ended, which was long before 9/11 happened, and thus stranded her on the other side of the US.

DJ won't end up marrying Matt or Steve
And she'll hook up with Kimmy instead
  • Jossed. The final season sees her finally hooking up with Steve.

Jesse and Becky move to New York to help with Michelle's fashion business
This might be a possibility to take care of two birds with one stone in the series' final season; as it could settle the issue of Michelle since it's unlikely either of the Olsen twins are likely to appear while also settling the issue of what to do with Aunt Becky following Lori Loughlin's having been arrested as part of the Operation: Varsity Blues scandal.

Aunt Becky Bribed a University to enroll her sons Nicky & Alex
Nicky & Alex didn't seem like the sharpest knives in the drawer when they were toddlers and still didn't seem smart as adults running a food truck after being in college leaving the question of How were they accepted into a University? Aunt Becky bribed the school that accepted Nicky & Alex with Uncle Jesse's money earned through his music. As a result, she ends up in the prison from Orange Is The New Black.
