The episode begins at the familiar house in San Francisco, where Danny Tanner (played by Bob Saget), Uncle Jesse (John Stamos), and Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) are helping D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure) move back into the family’s old home. Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) are also present, rekindling the close friendships from the original series. This is the first time all of the Tanner family members have gathered since “Full House” ended, creating a heartwarming and nostalgic atmosphere.
D.J. is now a widow with three children, facing many challenges as she raises them alone. Her husband, Tommy Fuller, a firefighter, passed away in an accident, leaving her to handle everything by herself. D.J.’s children include Jackson, a mischievous teenager; Max, a smart and responsible young boy; and baby Tommy Jr., the youngest of the family.
Meanwhile, Danny Tanner announces that he is moving to Los Angeles to start a new television show, and D.J. will stay behind to manage the house. This puts pressure on D.J., as she feels overwhelmed by the thought of raising her family alone. To help her out, Stephanie—now an international DJ—and Kimmy—D.J.’s childhood best friend—decide to move in with her. Kimmy also brings her teenage daughter Ramona, a rebellious but lovable girl.
The episode is filled with humorous and touching moments. For example, there is a funny scene where all the characters try to care for baby Tommy Jr., recreating moments from the original series when they took care of children. Meanwhile, Stephanie and Kimmy showcase their distinctive personalities: Stephanie remains energetic and free-spirited, while Kimmy is still quirky and full of mischief.
One of the highlights of the episode is the moment when Stephanie and Kimmy agree to stay and help D.J. raise her kids. Their bond goes beyond friendship and becomes a reflection of the strong family ties, which was always at the heart of “Full House.” They collectively decide that despite the challenges, they will work together to create a happy home for everyone.
The episode also takes time to pay tribute to classic moments from “Full House.” For example, when Danny Tanner looks around the house before leaving, he reflects on many memories shared with his family there. There are also humorous dialogues that reference the original show, such as jokes about the absence of Michelle Tanner (played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in “Full House”). Danny mentions that Michelle is now running a fashion empire in New York, a nod to the real-life careers of the Olsen twins.
By the end of the episode, D.J. is grateful to have Stephanie and Kimmy by her side. Though she is still grieving the loss of her husband, she starts to feel more optimistic about the future with the support of her family and friends. The final scene is a heartwarming moment where the three women promise to face every challenge and overcome difficulties together.
“Our Very First Show, Again” is not only the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the Tanner family but also a tribute to the fans who have followed the original series. The humor, family bonds, and friendships are all preserved, creating a familiar yet fresh atmosphere for both old and new audiences.
This premiere episode successfully reintroduces the characters and their relationships while setting the stage for future stories, promising lots of laughter and emotion in the episodes to come.
