Greetings Infomaniacs,
Well, it's been confirmed that there will indeed be a spinoff of the family sitcom Full House which will be called Fuller House.
As someone who grew up watching the show religiously, it's no surprise that I'm thrilled for the reunion! In honor of this news, I have some Full House fun facts for you today...
Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS
When John Stamos signed on to "Full House," his character's name was Adam Cochran. But before the pilot was shot, his first name was changed to Jesse. In Season 2, Stamos requested that his last name become Katsopolis to reflect his Greek heritage.
These days, everyone knows that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen shared the role of Michelle on "Full House." But in the second season of the series, producers decided that they didn't want audiences to be aware that two actresses were playing the one part. During most of the show's run they had a shared credit: Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen. In Season 8, they were finally called out as individuals: Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
Bob Saget was not the original Danny Tanner. In the unaired pilot episode, John Posey played the family patriarch. By the time the show went to series, Saget was freed up from his commitment to CBS's "The Morning Program" and took over the starring role.
During part of its run, "Full House" was shot on Stage 24 at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. That same soundstage housed "Wonder Woman" from 1977 to 1978, "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" from 1983 to 1987, and "Homefront" from 1991 to 1993. Stage 24 was then home to "Friends" during the show's 1994 to 2004 run.
Although most of the show was taped on the WB lot, the main title sequence was filmed on location in San Francisco, where the show was set. The iconic lineup of Queen Anne Victorian homes is known as "Postcard Row," and it's located across from Alamo Square. According to some reports, the Tanner house was located at 1709 Broderick Street.
D.J. Tanner attended the fictional Van Atta Junior High, which was named after Don Van Atta. Van Atta served as a producer on the show from 1987 to 1992. In 1993, he got bumped up to co-executive producer and remained in that capacity until the series ended.
