Candace Cameron Bure Reflects on Full House’s Enduring Popularity After Recent Rewatch

Candace Cameron Bure, known for her role as D.J. Tanner on the beloved sitcom Full House, recently shared her insights on why the show has remained a favorite for decades. During an appearance on the podcast How Rude, Tanneritos!, co-hosted by Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin, Bure watched and discussed an episode of Full House for the first time in many years.

While rewatching Season 3, Episode 22, ‘Three Men and Another Baby,’ Bure expressed her surprise and delight at the show’s enduring charm. “I haven’t watched Full House in so long, so many years. I’m watching the episode, I’m laughing out loud, and then I was like, ‘Oh,… now I understand why the show’s never been off the air in 35 years,'” she said. This realization highlighted the show’s timeless appeal, which continues to attract both old and new fans through streaming platforms like Max.

Full House, which originally aired from 1987 to 1995, has maintained its popularity even after its initial run. The show’s success led to a sequel series, Fuller House, which ran for five seasons on Netflix. Bure’s rewatch experience underscores the show’s ability to remain relevant, with episodes still resonating with audiences today.

Bure’s connection to the show extends beyond her acting role; she remains close to many of her former castmates, despite a publicized falling out with Jodie Sweetin. She has frequently expressed her fondness for the late Bob Saget, who played her on-screen father, and has shown support for other cast members, such as Dave Coulier after his cancer diagnosis.

The continued popularity of Full House is a testament to its enduring legacy, and Bure’s recent rewatch has given her a new appreciation for why the show remains a beloved classic.
