Yes, you read it right. On Monday night, John Stamos admitted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that everybody's favorite show from the 90s, Full House is exclusively premiering on Netflix."So I'm going to give you the exclusive. Literally 5 mins ago they (Netflix) called and sealed the deal. The original creators Jeff Franklin and Tom Miller and all of us wanted to do a sort of spin off, and we wanted to give credit to the legacy, and so Netflix came around and said let's do 13 episodes," said Stamos, adding, "So it starts as a reunion and then you have Candice (DJ), and Jodie (Stephanie) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibler). Candace has 3 boys so it's sort of a role reversal."[caption id="attachment_2205676" align="alignleft" width="380"]
