Netflix's Fuller House: Nostalgia for Millennials of Saudi Arabia
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 03 - 2016

One of the fond memories of my childhood is watching Full House, the popular household sitcom. Every time I hear the title song of the show and get a glimpse of the Golden Gate bridge of San Francisco, I get nostalgic. Full House was the story of Danny Tanner who with the help of his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and his friend Joey Gladstone raises his three daughters D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner and Michelle Tanner after losing his wife in a car crash.
Everything about the show was good- the house, the children, Uncle Jesse's "Elvis" impersonations, Uncle Joey's impressions, the annoying neighbor Kimmy Gibbler , the boyfriend Steve, the dog Comet and the cameos by various celebrities.
The actors had funny catch phrases, which still are cool. Uncle Jesse who was played by John Stamos had flowing silky shiny hair and always said "Watch the hair, huh!" when anyone tried to touch his hair. Stephanie, earlier played by child actor Jodie Sweetin said "How rude" when she got angry. Michelle Tanner the toddler played by one of the Olsen twins said "You got it dude!" and in affirmation, and during stand-up routines Joey Gladstone (played by Dave Coulier) said "Cut it out" when people laughed.
"Full House" was a major part of our childhood in the ‘90s. We had only two Saudi TV channels and the show was aired on Channel 2, the English one during the month of Ramadan. Kids and grownups loved it alike. It was the first show in the line up of shows that were aired just after Iftar.
I remember as a kid that we used to break our fast with dates and a drink in order to eat light for Iftar so that we could complete Maghreb prayers at the earliest and not miss anything of Full House. When we were invited to Iftar parties outside or at our relatives or friends, we would make sure they had TV in their dining areas because missing an episode was out of the question.
I don't care what the critics have to say about Netflix's Fuller House, the sequel to Full House. One thing I can say for sure is that Millennials of Saudi Arabia will feel nostalgic after seeing the cast of Full House in Fuller House again.
