Is Full House "everything wrong with America?" This guy watched every episode to find out
Everywhere you look. It's the theme song of the 1980s and 90s sitcom Full House. And it's been freshly remade by Carly Rae Jepsen for the show's Netflix resurrection.
The reboot is called Fuller House, and it marks the return of pop culture names like Uncle Jesse and Kimmy Gibler as well as the entire Tanner clan, including original series lead Bob Saget.

Ryan Alexander-Tanner (yes, his name really is Tanner) took on a mission to find out. He watched and reviewed every episode of the original series — all 192 episodes — and concluded that the show is "everything that is wrong with America." His blog is called Full House Reviewed.
