It all started when Jayden was home sick for two days and we searched through Netflix to find the perfect “comfort” show to entertain him while he rested in bed. We came across the first three seasons of Full House and started our adventure back in time.
Working from home while watching with one eye on the screen, I was totally transformed back to the 80s with my big hair, my shoulder pads (totally rocked the DJ Tanner look) and my mad crush on John Stamos. I can’t even tell you how excited I was when we flipped through the episodes and saw Scott Baio was an old band mate of “Uncle Jesse”!
It didn’t take long for both boys to get hooked and even start using some of the lines from the show! Jayden’s new line is “have mercy” thanks to Uncle Jesse and Ty has been practicing “cut it out” like Joey does in several shows. Beyond the funny one-liners and Jesse’s love of all things Elvis, there’s an amazing story about a man and his kids trying to rebuild their lives after the death of his wife. By enlisting the help of her brother and his best friend, what happens is a celebration of family, in all forms. Not a traditional family but a loving one. They support each other and co-parent through the ups and downs of childhood. They laugh and cry together through the teen years and they learn about relationships as they each find a partner, who joins the family too.

The boys are totally hooked like never before and I’ve caught both boys watching as soon as they wake up in the morning before school! Jayden even screamed when he heard that Netflix Canada added more episodes just this weekend! Our nephew is now watching Full House too and texted Jayden telling him that it’s “just like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” LOL…I think he meant that it was retro!
Think this is the only family-friendly show that they kids will love to watch? No way…here are more Netflix binge-worthy shows for the kiddos;
