Fuller House is predictable, but fans love that predictability. The reboot captures the heart of the original series and ends each episode happily.
The sitcom Full House had many corny moments during its eight-season run. Danny, Joey, or Jessie would have a heart-to-heart with one of the girls every episode, teaching them a lesson. The show revolved around the family’s bond and consisted of many sweet — if sappy — scenes.
Fuller House, the Netflix spin-off series, captures the heart of the original show. It focuses on DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy, who are now adults. They move into the Tanner residence and are just as sentimental as their predecessors. While so many people in one house is chaotic, it leads to many heartwarming moments.

Joey Offers To Walk Kimmy Down The Aisle
In the original series Full House, Kimmy’s parents are mentioned but never seen. So when Joey announces that Mr. and Mrs. Gibbler’s are coming to the engagement party, fans were as excited as Kimmy and Jimmy. Alas, they don’t show up.

Stephanie Names Her Daughter After Danny
Stephanie arrives home from the hospital as a happy mother. At the baby-naming party, she announces her child’s name. Stephanie names her after Danny, the person who taught her what it means to be a parent.
Her daughter’s name is Danielle, “Dani” for short. Additionally, her middle name is Jo, so if someone called her “DJ,” it would honor her sister. Lastly, Stephanie names Kimmy as the godmother, as she was Dani’s surrogate mother. The women welcome Dani to the family by whispering the she-wolf howl.
Steve Proposes to DJ
DJ and Steve were high school sweethearts but broke up. But in Fuller House, the two find their way back to one another and fall in love again. In season 5, Steve proposes to DJ.

The Last Scene
In the series finale, Stephanie and the Gibblers move out of the house. The episode is filled with many sentimental moments as the family says goodbye. But after everything’s all packed up, Stephanie and Kimmy come back inside the house.
While Kimmy and Stephanie no longer have to live in the house, they tell DJ that they want to stay. They can’t imagine raising their families anywhere else. DJ agrees and recites the show’s catchphrase, “The door is always open.”
