Is "Full House" making a comeback?

Well, if recent reports ring true, we might be seeing our favorite wholesome family coming back into our living rooms and our hearts.

For some time, fans have been wondering if this show would make the same comeback as "Boy Meets World" recently did. With BMW sequel "Girl Meets World" becoming a ratings goldmine on the Disney Channel, perhaps the producers of "Full House" are thinking that they could have the same luck.

The hit show, which ran from 1987 to 1995, was about a widow who enlists the help of his brother-in-law and his best friend to help raise his three daughters.

While nothing is set in stone, it looks like most of the cast is on board for a revival. John Stamos, Bob Sagat, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber are all on board with working on a sequel to the show. Cast members who haven't gotten on board as of yet are Lori Loughlin, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Scott Weinger, Blake and Dylan Tuomy–Wilhoit, and Dave Coulier.
Producers of the hit show have been in talks with Warner Bros studio about the sequel and John Stamos has been actively involved in the meetings.

It's no secret that the cast is still close 20 years after the show ended its run. Most of the cast regularly gets together and are seen together in public. The only cast members who haven't stayed in touch are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It is well-known that the Olsen twins didn't have the best experience on the show. They started on the show as an infant, and were only 7 or 8 years old when the show was cancelled.

As someone who grew up watching "Full House" every Friday night on TGIF, I am pretty stoked about this news. I always wondered what could have happened to these characters if the show has continued. I wondered if DJ and Steve got married and had kids. I wondered what Stephanie would have done after high school. I wondered what Michelle would have done with her life.
If a sequel is green-lighted, I hope that everyone comes back, including the Olsen twins.

What do you guys think about a "Full House" sequel? Would it work? What do you think happened to the characters after the show ended?
