‘Fuller House’ Netflix Release: What Time Will 'Full House' Reboot Premiere On Streaming Service [VIDEO]

After what has seemed like an eternity, the time is nigh: Fuller House will air on Netflix at 3:01 a.m. EST Feb. 26, or 12:01 a.m. PST and 2 a.m. CST. Excitement is running high for the modern Full House reboot to air, and almost all the original cast members, with two notable exceptions, have returned to warm their way back into America’s heart.

While Bob Saget, John Stamos and Dave Coulier are guest starring in Fuller House, the main focus of the new Netflix show will be the now-all-grown-up teenage cast of Full House. Candace Bure will be returning to her role as D.J. Tanner-Fuller, except this time, instead of being taken care of, Bure will be the one struggling to raise her children as a recently widowed parent.

Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber will also be returning as Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler respectively, and will help Bure’s character cope with the harsh realities of raising three children as a single parent. Also joining Bure’s character’s three male children is Barber’s character’s teenage daughter, who is played by Soni Bringas.

Critics have not been kind to Fuller House, however. Variety is calling the show a “self-obsessed revival,” while The Hollywood Reporter writes that it’s “doubtful that there will be a more painful 2016 TV episode than the Fuller House pilot.”

“ Full House was, no matter its quality, about upsetting gender expectations . . . Fuller House , then, is almost inherently regressive and follows no particular demographic or societal trend in dedicating episode after episode to teaching female characters who have or had careers and outside lives to re-concentrate on domesticity and motherhood,” Daniel Fienberg writes for The Hollywood Reporter. “There's also something either unseemly or unsettling about copying and calling back so consciously to Full House , while also sexualizing the main female characters of Fuller House . This hasn't suddenly become an adult franchise, but it's apparently impossible not to make repeated references to Sweetin's chest . . . ”

Deadline was no kinder in its own review, saying that, “Maybe we know now why the Olsen twins decided to not participate. And it’s a real shame because Fuller House starts off so well, with almost everyone else from Full House on board and back in that Bay Area home,” Dominic Patten writes for Deadline. “But unfortunately the adults basically become absentee landlords after the first episode and the series sags fast.”

The critical poo-pooing hasn’t stopped the Full House fan base from building up excitement for Fuller House , though. Twitter is abuzz with eager expectations, and if that’s any indication of a show’s potential success, Netflix may find themselves with another hit on their hands.
