The Story: A goofball gym teacher (Mark Harmon) is forced to teach a remedial English class over the summer.
The Players: Starring: Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, Dean Cameron, Courtney Thorne-Smith & Shawnee Smith. Music by Danny Elfman. Directed by Carl Reiner.
The History: Hollywood spent a couple of years trying to make Mark Harmon happen as a movie star. Fresh off an arc on “St. Elsewhere” which infamously had his character contract AIDS from a one-night stand, his career was red hot. For a while, he was seriously considered to replace Don Johnson on “Miami Vice” after contract negotiations fell through, and in 1987-88, we got a bunch of starring vehicles that would try him out in a variety of genres to see if one would stick. He did action in The Presidio (even doing his own stunts – although the film was stolen by co-star Sean Connery), drama in Stealing Home,...

The creator of Full House spilled some tea about casting the beloved sitcom, and we learned some exciting new details about how the show came together.
Starring the likes of Bob Saget, John Stamos, Lori Laughlin and more, the show dominated the late ’80s and ’90s. It still has a devoted following to this day.
Creator Jeff Franklin stopped by franchise stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber‘s How Rude, Tanneritos podcast to talk the show’s creation and success.
In the process, he revealed two actors who didn’t need to audition for their roles. Jeff also revealed the role that they had an exceptionally difficult time casting.

The two castmates who didn’t audition were Jodie and John.
“Jodie for sure because I stumbled onto that tape of her from Valerie,” Jeff recalled, referring to another show that the actress appeared on.

Nearly a year after an L.A. judge dismissed Jeff Franklin’s lawsuit over his Fuller House firing, he has voluntarily dismissed his appeal and reached a deal with Bryan Behar to also resolve their dispute over attorney’s fees.
Franklin in April 2019 sued Behar alleging the showrunner orchestrated his ouster. He had been removed from Fuller House in February 2018 amid complaints about his behavior, but he claimed Behar fabricated and twisted information and gave it to the media and Warner Bros. to get him thrown off the show.
Behar responded with an anti-slapp motion, which are intended to bring an early end to frivolous claims arising from protected activity like free speech. If a defendant prevails, typically they are awarded attorney’s fees and the plaintiff has an automatic right to an appeal. The showrunner argued that Warners approached him, not the other way around, and his comments about...

TV’s IP fetish is no coincidence. Recognizable titles and stars can guarantee strong initial tune-in off of modest marketing. But long-term results are lackluster. Just look at the past decade’s worth of revivals. Different from reboots or remakes, risky ventures in their own right, a revival features original castmembers of long-departed series revisiting characters for whom there’s an assumed appetite. Viewers aren’t often as hungry as studio brass would like. The average life span of recent revivals is three seasons, while their originals averaged eight-year runs. So as Paramount+ kicks off October by nixing one revived comedy (iCarly, starring Miranda Cosgrove, above) and attempting to mount another (Frasier with Kelsey Grammer, which premiered Oct. 12), The Hollywood Reporter examines 10 case studies from this revivals wave and where they went right … or horribly wrong.

Updated: A week after Dave Coulier launched a new rewatch podcast for “Full House,” the beloved sitcom he appeared on opposite the late Bob Saget, the TV actor has decided to pause releasing new episodes during the SAG-AFTRA strike.
“Though the podcast series has many episodes that were recorded before the strike was authorized, Dave assures fans of the new series that they can look forward to more entertaining content in the meantime on socials and will be back to releasing new episodes as soon as the strike concludes,” the podcast’s producers said in a statement.
Coulier posted a brief video on Instagram, writing in the caption, “While we have many more @FullHouseRewind episodes ready for release, each with a very special guest, we’re going to be pressing pause until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved.

John Stamos is best known for portraying Uncle Jesse in the ABC sitcom Full House. Although Stamos loves the recognition he gets from the show, it wasn’t always like that.
The actor recently opened up about how he initially “hated” the comedy after he realized the show was more family-oriented and not like Bosom Buddies as it was originally pitched.
“Full House was… I hated that show,” Stamos said during an appearance on Hot Ones. “Obviously I ended up loving it but it was sort of pitched to me as Bosom Buddies … with a couple of kids in the background. And as we’re casting I was like, ‘They’re spending a lot of time casting these kids that are going to be in the background.'”

“Full House” creator Jeff Franklin is going down memory lane on Dave Coulier‘s new series, “Full House Rewind”. Franklin appeared on the first episode of the PodCo series, where he and Coulier reminisced about the pilot episode of the popular family comedy, which starred the late Bob Saget, John Stamos, Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
During the episode, which Coulier dedicated to Saget, Franklin revealed Sweetin was the first actor cast on “Full House”. He shared that after they held the first cast table read, Stamos was ready to get off the show because he was concerned Sweetin and the younger actors would take the spotlight.
“I remembered our first table read,” Coulier said.
“Where there’s a room full of studio and network executives. They were all there to see Stamos, I think,” Franklin recalled.
“Jodie just stole the show,” Coulier remembered.

Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House, is looking back at how the show began and recalled a moment when John Stamos almost backed out of the series.
The writer-producer-director appeared on the first episode of Dave Coulier’s new podcast, Full House Rewind, which they dedicated to the late Bob Saget.
While talking about the show’s first table read with the actors, Franklin noted that there was a “room full of studio and network executives and everybody who could possibly be there. They were all there to see Stamos, I think.”
But Franklin recalled that “Jodie [Sweetin] just stole the whole thing” with her humor, which he said left Stamos upset because he was afraid the younger stars were going to steal the spotlight.
Coulier chimed in and said he remembers “walking out with John” afterward when the Scream Queens actor told him, “The whole show’s gonna be her.

Jeff Franklin’s lawsuit over his ouster from Fuller House has been dismissed, as an L.A. judge found he was unlikely to prove that showrunner Bryan Behar was responsible for his contract not being renewed.
Franklin was taken off the Full House spin-off in February 2018 amid complaints about gender discrimination and other inappropriate behavior, but he maintains it was all orchestrated by Behar. Franklin sued Behar in April 2019, alleging his colleague fabricated and twisted information and gave it to the media and Warner Bros. in an effort to get him thrown off the show.
Behar filed a special motion to strike the complaint under California’s anti-slapp statute, which brings an early end to lawsuits arising from protected activity like free speech unless the plaintiff can prove they’re likely to prevail. Behar said Warners approached him and his statements to the company investigator about Franklin are “indisputably” activity...

Cinedigm Corp. has acquired the worldwide rights, excluding Italy, to three documentaries by Italian artist Annalaura di Luggo. They are “We Are Art: Through the Eyes of Annalaura,” “Napoli Eden” and “Blind Vision.” The films, which were acquired at the American Film Market last week, are set to stream in early 2023.
“We Are Art Through the Eyes of Annalaura” has been submitted for consideration for the Academy Awards for documentary feature and original song (for “We Are Art”). Filmed on location in Naples, it involves the creation of a giant eye made of recycled aluminum, symbolizing environmental rebirth and recycling which, through a dynamic and interactive pupil, projects the lives of four young people who overcame adversities to find new value in life. It was directed and produced by Di Luggo in collaboration with production supervisor and creative consultant Stanley Isaacs.

After the banner year of 2021, L.A.’s high-end real estate market is seeing challenges, including some softening of prices, continued low inventory and rising interest rates (an average 30-year fixed mortgage rate today is about 5.8 percent compared with about 2.9 percent a year ago). “It will take some time for buyers to acclimate to the interest rate increases; it’s all cyclical,” says Hilton & Hyland’s Justin Paul Huchel. But for L.A.’s top agents, these setbacks are an opportunity to refocus on a core value: finding clients their perfect home. Despite the market softening, agents profess that they aren’t worried. According to Redfin, the median sale in Beverly Hills still clocks in at 3.8 million, up 15.4 percent from last year. And agents aren’t hurting financially, either.

The cast of “Full House” came together to sing an ode to golden retrievers, like the Tanners’ own beloved Comet, called “Gotta Love a Golden” in honor of National Dog Week — and the 33rd Anniversary of the show’s premiere on Sept. 22, 1987.
Stars John Stamos, Bob Saget, Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, Dave Coulier, and Jodie Sweetin all appear in the video along with Franklin, creator of “Full House,” who also wrote the song.
The music video also features Franklin’s own golden retrievers, Woody and Lola. Watch the video above on YouTube.
The proceeds raised from the video are going to be donated to PetSmart charities.
“As the proud owner of two awesome golden retrievers, I know firsthand how important the consistent comfort and unconditional love that a pet can provide,” Franklin said. “My lifelong love affair with goldens inspired me to make them the official Tanner family pets.

Of the Netflix comedy’s many recurring gags, few are as appreciated as its good-natured jabs at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Full House character, the only member of the Tanner family who never appeared in the spinoff.

“Fuller House” is getting ready to end its fifth and final season, which means it’s finally time to say goodbye to the Tanner family. And the cast is paying homage to their “Full House” roots in a nostalgia-heavy trailer.
On Tuesday, Netflix released the trailer for the final episodes that will hit the platform on June 2. It’s a walk down memory lane, and viewers can revisit the time when they first met Danny, DJ, Stephanie, Michelle, Uncle Jessy, Joey and Kimmy Gibbler way back in 1987.
The only one missing from the throwback is Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky in the original series and in the first four seasons of the reboot. The actress left the show after she was indicted and pleaded not guilty in the college admissions bribery case.

Bob Saget and his fellow “Full House” castmates made an adorable parody of the theme song to the classic sitcom, changing the title to something more coronavirus-appropriate: “Full Quarantine.”
Danny Tanner (Saget), Uncle Jessie (John Stamos), Uncle Joey (Dave Coulier), DJ (Candace Cameron-Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) are all present, but instead of looking like their cute late-’80s selves, they’re performing various quarantine tasks amid the current pandemic — all from their respective homes.
As the beloved theme song “Everywhere You Look” plays, each of the actors makes an appearance in character. Creator Jeff Franklin even pops in at the end of the video, along with his two golden retrievers wearing special doggy face masks.

Michelle Tanner may not have shown either of her faces in Fuller House‘s fifth season, but thanks to a steady stream of shout-outs, she was never far from our minds.
The first mention of the elusive third Tanner sister came in the Season 5 premiere, when D.J. and Kimmy’s kids were sorting through the attic. Max explained that he learned about their family’s history through eight years of carefully curated home videos (“It’s almost like a TV show…”), concluding with the time “Aunt Michelle got amnesia” after falling off her horse. Good times, good times.

Exclusive: More than three years ago, Netflix successfully opened a new area of original programming, the family sitcom, with a reboot of Warner Bros TV’s Tgif comedy Full House. The sequel series was a breakout hit, tapping into nostalgia for those who had grown up with the original series while also drawing a new generation of viewers.
That success was probably not lost on WarnerMedia executives as they are prepping the launch of a streaming platform to rival Netflix and have been discussing with Warner Bros TV brass library titles they can exploit for the new service.
I hear the WarnerMedia streamer is eyeing reboots of other Wbtv-produced classic Tgif comedies, like Step by Step, Perfect Strangers, its spinoff Family Matters, as well as Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper. Sources stressed that talks are in exploratory stages, and it’s unclear whether any of the potential revivals would come to fruition,...

New court filings in former “Fuller House” creator Jeff Franklin’s lawsuit against his former co-executive producer contend that Franklin made frequent sexist comments, including urging female writers to bring their bikinis to a writers’ retreat at his mansion and wishing women on staff would get hysterectomies to avoid pregnancy.
Franklin, who created “Full House” in the ’90s and the Netflix reboot “Fuller House,” was fired from his job as showrunner of the series in 2018 following complaints about inappropriate behavior. Bryan Behar took over Franklin’s job, and Franklin sued Behar in April, saying Behar had conspired against him to steal the job.
Franklin’s attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. But in an April 16 complaint, they said that “Behar was resentful of Franklin’s success.”

Fired Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin’s two-month old lawsuit against the man who succeed him as the showrunner on the Netflix sitcom might want to put on some headgear after running headlong into the goliath known as Warner Bros.
Because Franklin took a real hit in some recent court filings, a blow that could be legally fatal, actually.
“At the conclusion of the investigation, and based upon my review of the testimony of all of the witnesses who had been interviewed, I concluded that there was sufficient evidence to find that Jeff Franklin’s conduct had created a toxic work environment that impacted female writers and persons of color,” says WB Studios’ VP of Labor Relations Silisha Platon in a detailed declaration (read it here) filed last week around the multi-year probe into Franklin’s conduct and complaints against him.

At the time that Full House creator Jeff Franklin was removed as showrunner of Netflix’s Fuller House and stripped of his overall deal with Warner Bros. TV, it was reported that he had been “verbally abusive” and made sexually inappropriate remarks in the writers room.
Fifteen months later, a new court filing reveals specific accusations leveled against the veteran TV producer.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the allegations against Franklin predate the #MeToo movement, thus nullifying his argument that successor Bryan Behar was being opportunistic. As early as 2016, Warner Bros. launched an investigation over concerns about equal treatment for male and female writers.

Why was Jeff Franklin removed from his role as showrunner of Fuller House?
If one is to believe Franklin, who created Full House in the 1990s and shepherded the recent Netflix reboot until he was dumped at the end of 2018, he was the victim of career ambition. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed in April, Franklin blamed Bryan Behar, who took over showrunning duties upon the expiration of Franklin's three-year deal with Warner Bros.

Jeff Franklin, the creator and former showrunner of Netflix’s “Fuller House,” said in a lawsuit Tuesday that one of his replacements fabricated or twisted events to get him fired.
“Despite hiring and supporting defendant Bryan Behar, a writer and co-executive producer on Fuller House, Behar was resentful of Franklin’s success,” reads the lawsuit.
“Motivated by a secret hatred of Franklin and hoping to take his place someday as showrunner, Behar concocted a plan to compile unflattering and distasteful information about Franklin that was either fabricated or twisted versions of events,” the suit continued, “and presented it first to the media and then to Warner Brothers in an effort to get Franklin thrown off Fuller House.”

First it was Hallmark Channel cutting Lori Loughlin loose earlier today after her indicted involvement in the elite college admissions fraud scheme. Now it seems inevitable that Netflix will not be inviting the actor known around the world as Aunt Becky back for the fifth and final season of Fuller House.
“She’s toast, it’s over,” said one well positioned source of Loughlin’s Tanner residence future.
While no official final decision has been made by the streamer or distributor Warner Horizon Television on still UTA-repped Loughlin’s Fuller House fate, I’m told the writing is pretty clearly on the wall. A final judgement could come as soon as the next day or so.
The timing wouldn’t be surprising considering the pace of events since the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts revealed on March 12 the 50 people indicted for the $25 million...
