"It’s always open!" At least a few side characters speak up about the weirdness of a huge family with small children leaving their door unlocked in the middle of busy San Francisco in this third season of the fluffy Netflix sitcom reboot. Much of the first half of this season focuses on fortysomething matriarch DJ (Candace Cameron-Bure) as she wrestles with feelings for her former high school sweetheart Steve (Scott Weinger) and both freak out their respective partners with sappy situations including Grease-themed karaoke and hijinks that involve DJ wearing Steve’s fiancée’s wedding gown. Inexplicably, seven household members attend Steve’s nuptials in Japan, where the star-crossed couple ruin everything with indecision. The other main storyline finds jobless Aunt Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) being pressured by family members into in vitro fertilization and enlisting wacky pal and roommate Kimmy (Andrea Barber) to have the baby. Plus the family teens, ‘tween, and toddler have some mildly interesting plots, although they are constantly overshadowed by appearances from Full House alumni (such as executive producer John Stamos) and the unrealistically hyper studio audience. Still, the show has its fans—old and new—so consider this to be a strong optional purchase. (J. Williams-Wood)
