Full House was a live-action series produced by Warner Bros. following the success of School and the Backyard Gang. Developed by BYG alumni, including executive producer Jeff Mendelssohn, the program ran on ABC from 1987 to 1996. 192 episodes were produced.
While School and the Backyard Gang was targeted primarily at Teenage Children and was Educational and Comedy, Full House was Comedy. Much like School and the Backyard Gang, there was no one central set equivalent to School and the Backyard Gang as the primary starting point. Its slogan was "for the graduates of School and the Backyard Gang."
The show also utilized a repertory cast portraying a variety of recurring and one-shot characters, in contrast to the central human figures on the BYG, who generally had fixed names and identities. The company included such name players as Jodie Sweeten and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Others were including Bob Saget.
Recurring characters included Danny Tanner, Joey Gladstone, Jesse Tanner, Jodie Sweeten, the Olsen Twins, and a handful of guest appearances by the BYG Cast.
In 2016, Netflix began a Revival for the Series called Fuller House.
