A Full House Movie: Yay or Nay?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:45:26 -0700

It's not official, but John Stamos recently revealed that he's conceptualizing a Full House feature film - "but it wouldn't be us playing us." So who would be playing the men in this beloved '90s family? I know you've weighed in on a Full House recast before, but here are Stamos's suggestions:

Jesse Katsopolis - James Franco
Danny Tanner - Steve Carell
Joey Gladstone - Tracy Morgan

Stamos added, "'I'm not 100% sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years' of the 1987-95 series."

Could you see this working? Would you want a Full House movie?

TV Tonight: Roasting Bob Saget

BuzzSugar — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 13:00:44 -0700

What do you get when a raunchy, dirty, frequently inappropriate TV event meets one of the raunchiest, dirtiest, most inappropriate comedians of a generation? Awesomeness - and a stomach that aches with pain from too much laughter. And that's why I'm not-so-secretly looking forward to tonight's roast of Bob Saget on Comedy Central.

If you haven't heard yet, Bob Saget is a major dirty perv of a comedian. His shtick can be uncomfortable, but I've seen him do it live, and it's mostly pretty funny. He has the kind of mouth my grandmother would wash out with soap. It's hilariously strange given what a clean-cut father figure he was to those of us who grew up watching him as Danny Tanner on Full House, the role that made him a household name.

Anyone on Full House is a pretty easy target for a roast like this because the show was so wholesome. However, news spread this week that some off-color jokes about the Olsen twins may have crossed the line (Saget himself said those jokes went a little too far). But that tiny controversy aside (and, really, what roast worth watching doesn't stir up controversy?) the whole thing looks pretty hysterical.

Tonight's show will also be a bit of a twofer as "roast master" John Stamos does not escape ridicule either, as you can see in some of the preview clips I've gathered. The roast airs tonight at 10 p.m. EDT and PDT. To see the clips, including an absolutely wonderful bit from the legendary Cloris Leachman that literally made me spit my drink out in laughter, read more.

TV Tonight: ER's 300th Episode

BuzzSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 07:30:00 -0800

Think quick: Where were you when ER premiered in 1994? The show launched the career of Noah Wyle, made George Clooney a household name, and outlasted its fellow 1994 premieres Chicago Hope, Party of Five, and Friends. Tonight, ER reaches a milestone that few series ever do: its 300th episode.

I loved the show all through my high school years and into college, but when the original cast started to dwindle, I drifted away, too. Still, I've had a blast playing with this interactive timeline of all of the doctors on the show and reminiscing about the various guest appearances (remember Kirsten Dunst as a teen prostitute?). It may not be as relevant, as watched, or as high-profile as it was a few years back, but ER must be doing something right to make it this far.

To watch a preview for tonight's episode, which finds the doctors treating 300 patients in a single day, just read more

Recast "Full House" and Win a Prize!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 16:35:11 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Among the many fantastic suggestions of TV shows and movies to recast, one of my favorites was "Full House" because it's a multi-generational cast which is slightly more challenging than the dramas featuring a mostly teenage cast.

For this week's recast challenge, who could you see playing the even-tempered Danny Tanner, or the other two guys (Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey) raising a family together in a heterosexual way? What about the three girls, DJ, Stephanie and Michelle? Or the lady of the house, Rebecca? Perhaps most importantly, who could do weird little Kimmy Gibbler justice?
Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, June 26, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt, read more

Characters to recast:
Danny Tanner (Bob Sagat)
Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos)
Joey Gladstone (Dave Goulier)
DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure)
Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin)
Michelle Tanner (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen)
Rebecca Katsopolis (Lori Loughlin)
Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber)
