Signs of the Apocalypse: A Full House Revamp? Cut. It. Out.

Cue the infamous hand gesture of Joey Gladstone. Candace Cameron Bure, who has long since gone into obscurity to hide from her brother's creepo attempts at fundamentalist Christian film success (or to pop out three kids and live in Florida with her Russian hockey player hubby - you decide), has reappeared from the depths of the J-List with new of the Apocalypse.

Actually, it's news that her former uncle (and resident stud) John Stamos is planning a revamp of Full House, which would have Bure and Sweetin reprise their roles as DJ and Stephanie Tanner.

So lemme get this straight. 90210 is only a middling success. Knight Rider will be lucky to finish the season and last year's Bionic Woman was rejected by the public faster than the titular hero's machine-operated limbs. So where is everyone getting this information that remaking shows from the 80's/early 90's? First Melrose Place, and now this? In a world of TV where the most "wholesome" television one can find may be Two and a Half Men, would a mushy Full House remake really survive? Screw the family morals and take a few pages from the lives of its stars. Have Joey royally pissing off Alanis Morissette, have Michelle be an Ugg wearing, chainsmoking waif with a massive sensitivity to light or food, and only have Bob Saget tell jokes like this:



Otherwise John Stamos, scratch the remake and just go on tour with the Beach Boys already.



And here is the rest of it.
