I was an avid Full House fan growing up and always hoped for a Full House reunion. I was so excited to hear about Fuller House and felt obligated to watch it.

Sure, all of the episodes are pretty cheesy, some of the dialogue is downright cringe-y, and several (if not all) of the plot points seem shoehorned in. BUT, as a fan, it's so fun to watch the characters I loved return 20 years later. I get why some people might not like it. I'm a bit frustrated with it myself because I think there was so much opportunity to go a different direction with the characters and make Fuller House so much more enjoyable.

However, it's still fun to binge watch and still carries much of the Full House charm!

If the original "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is so bad it's good, the "Let's Do the Time Warp Again" is so good it's bad,"Good" in the sense that it is far too polished and glamorized to even come close to capturing what made the original so enjoyable. There was no sense of grit or earnestness when it came to the singing or the acting. As strange and incoherent as the plot in the original RHPS, the cast made you feel for each character and connect with them. In the new one, sure, the actors are talented but everything comes across as too neatly put together, and maybe it was the commercial breaks but there hardly seemed to be any real chemistry built up between the actors.

I don't know that anyone wanted a new RHPS in the first place. BUT, I think there was a chance that if this project were in different hands it could have been something uniquely its own. Instead, all of the edge is removed and I don't think there would be any reason to watch this over the other, beyond sheer curiosity.
