author_by_nightHere's an old song
Of a bygone era
Where everyone feared Y2K
So they panicked
Asked their mothers
What they watched in the day
In the 90's we were (blessed? tortured?) with more Bradys
Addams Family, Jetsons, Flintstones
90's kids are the grown ups now
And that's how we got the uber 90's remakes
Actually, apparently it is happening for real. So I've decided to take it a step further and pose some movies of TV shows, movies AND books I think would be remade - maybe awesomely, maybe horribly, maybe just really ironic with a resounding "NOT!" and a joking "Guess Who?' (After all, the movies I mentioned had mixed reactions themselves.) I've included media from all age groups, because why not?
Today we have - Full House!
Casting:
Ty Burrell - Danny
They thought it would be fun to have an awkward 2010's sitcom Dad play an awkward 1980's-90's sitcom Dad. They originally asked Bob Saget to reprise the role, but after the F-bombs and foul insinuations, they changed their minds.
John Hamm - Uncle Jesse
His agent decided he might want to be in something more... "family friendly" with Mad Men coming to a close.
Julie Bowen - (soon to be) Aunt Becky
The girl gets to make out with Jon Hamm. Not a bad deal.
Adam Pally - Uncle Joey
They originally offered the role to Alanis Morisette. This did not go over well.
Dakota Fanning - DJ Tanner
She was the only former 90's child star they could find not too screwed up to play the part.
Willow Shields - Stephanie Tanner
Because The Hunger Games.
The Cregut Twins - Michelle Tanner
The biggest picture because we all know the show was really about the predictable adorableness of Michelle.
(The Olsen Twins Mary Kate and Ashley have sent the Cregut Twins their condolences.)
Alexis Bledel - Kimmie Gibbler
Because Dawson Casting.
The Plot
Wake Up San Fransisco! Danny's new co-host Becky Donaldson annoys the bee-jellybeans out of him; for some reason, Uncle Jesse doesn't mind her so much. But what happens when the show is put at risk for cancellation in favor of a reality TV show? (What the hell is a 'reality TV' show anyway? Those will never be a thing!)
Subplot
- Uncle Joey becomes depressed when he realizes no one likes his jokes. His surrogate nieces give him better ones to try. Only Michelle's work.
- DJ becomes anorexic for a total running time of twenty minutes, leading to a very special conversation about eating disorders.
- Stephanie decides everyone likes her older sister better, so insecure she resorts to saying "DJ, DJ, DJ" every time she hears DJ's name. She handles this by asking Kimmie to be her sister instead; this ends in her chasing Kimmie down the street with foot-odor medicine. No one ever does like Kimmie.
- Adorable Michelle tries to convince everyone they really live in Los Angeles, not San Fransisco. She tries to call the real San Fransisco to prove it, but ends up getting Tokyo.
Ending
At the end of the movie, Michelle tries to run away to Tokyo, because it's better than living in Fake San Fransisco. She's missing for a total of three minutes, bringing the entire city to a grinding halt. When she's found, DJ declares that all of the sisters have been born again.
Oh, and Wake Up San Fransisco isn't canceled, because who'd watch a show about some weird family that named their child Bunny Foo-Foo anyway? Wink wink, nudge nudge...
