Not for a lack of trying. The Olsens turned them down when Netflix offered them to play Michelle again. When they both said no, Netflix asked their sister Elizabeth to play the role instead. Not surprising, Elizabeth said she's doing her best to step out of her sisters' shadows, not going back living in their shadow by playing the role that made them famous.

And, let's face it, this would be a step back for Elizabeth, who's already a FILM star.

And one look at the full trailer, I can't really blame her for saying no. Oh, the glorious '90s cheese!

I just can't get into sitcoms anymore. I used to love watching shows like Full House, Home Improvement and The Cosby Show when I was younger but they no longer do anything for me.

I don't blame you. Humor has come a long way since the 90s, and TV comedy formats have evolved to not needing laugh tracks any more. Watching a sitcom with a laugh track seems wholly outdated by comparison, and only makes the jokes seem even more lame.

I thought for sure the laugh track would've died out completely by the beginning of this decade, but apparently all these soft, derivative, poorly written sitcoms (like the ones on CBS :P) are clinging to it as their lives depended on it; desperately trying to convince us that they are indeed funny. Sorry, we're not biting. ::)

That 70's Show was probably the last really good one.

I'm a little worried about this news.

http://screenrant.com/xena-reboot-showrunner-changes-bingeable/Like this part:

â€œAs you mentioned, a great deal of the appeal of the show lies in certain pulpy elementsâ€”like Gabrielleâ€™s bare midriff, Xenaâ€™s leather miniskirt, Callistoâ€™s amazing and gravity-defyingâ€¦ well, you get itâ€”and itâ€™s hard for me in the post-Brienne of Tarth era to reconcile with the idea that Xena and her friends can meet every challenge in such skimpy outfits. I think we are going to have some very lengthy discussions about how to bring those elements into the present day without missing the boat on what makes Xena exactly what she is; and how to have our cake and eat it too.â€

Let's be honest, Gabrielle's bare midriff and Callisto's naked bellybutton were major selling points of the series. More walking on eggshells here.

I would would have no problem with giving full armor for whenever they go into battle just as long as their midriffs were exposed as long as possible during the downtime. I think that's a fair compromise and it's what I really hope they'll do (but probably won't) when they finally get around to Sylvanas and the elves in the Warcraft movie.

That would be a fair middle ground.

This is why we need to get into TV and film, to make it so naked navels are bared more often (in realistic scenarios, mind you). :P

Not so good first reviews for Fuller House.

My source at WB worked Fuller House. I kind of new some of what happened in it, but I never expected it to be torn apart like that.Kinda sad. Also don't believe lies. Candace Cameron Bure is a 😈biotch. She thinks she's above everybody else. But evetyone else was cool. John Stamos apparently is even better looking in person(why couldn't I have been born with jis face)and Kimmy Gibbler is really sweet too. Also Lori Loughlin looks great is nice and Bob Saget is chill.

I'm not surprised about Candace's attitude. I mean, look how self-righteous her brother, Kirk, is. No doubt it would run in the family.

Considering the original series is one of the most cloying sitcoms of all time, this is hardly surprising. :P

I do and have been enjoying it so far. It got off to a rocky start, but it's been fun learning about the plot and time period along with Franco's character. Still figuring out the rules and such with some strong intrigue on what it will take to really prevent a certain someone's death.
