How Fuller House ended up in Netflix

How Fuller House ended up in Netflix

Even though Full House was a huge hit during its original run, when the series creator Jeff Franklin pitched the idea of a spinoff to traditional outlets, they all shut their doors. All but one.

Netflix was the only major network that took up the challenge of bring Fuller House back to the small screen.

"We had actually originally pitched the show to more traditional outlets," said the series creator Jeff Franklin. "We went to ABC, we went to Nick at Nite, to the home of Full House both originally and now and figured that was probably a great fit for the show because it had such success for both ABC and Nick at Nite. We also went to TBS where it was airing and we went to some other places. We actually hadn't thought about the streaming services. All of those places passed on the show and then one of the executives from Nickelodeon - his name is Brian Wright - moved over to Netflix and they actually called us and said, ‘We'd like to hear the pitch.' It was really Netflix that took the lead, not me."

After Jeff Franklin's exhausting process of pitching to so many different places, luckily Brian Wright helped him out and then Netflix took over and made him a deal he couldn't refuse:

"Well you know the simpler answer is they bought the show. That's really the simple answer. They stepped up and wanted the show and offered us a really nice deal to start off with," Jeff Franklin said.

The show produced 13 episodes during its first season. A short time after that first season was available for streaming, Netflix made the decision to renew the series for season 2.

External companies that aim at tracking the show's ratings have listed Fuller House as one of Netflix's largest successes and potentially even its most popular show at the time of its release earlier this year. Several households streamed the series right after season 2 hit the airwaves on December 9, 2016.

The streaming network giant has recently renewed the series for a third season which will be much longer than the past two have been. The third installment will consist of 18 episodes, an initiative that will surely make fans happy.

The news came at a time when everybody was eagerly expecting for it:

"I hope all your readers tune in sooner rather than later, because we are really anxious to get going again," said the series creator.

What you can expect on season 3 are more catchphrases the likes of uncle Joey's "Cut. It. Out.", DJ's "Oh my lanta!", Stephanie's "How rude!", uncle Jesse's "Have mercy!" and so on.

Fans also hope they will get to see the Olsen Twins on this new season. It's a long shot as the twins skipped the first two seasons, but with the spinoff's success, perhaps Michelle will show up in Season 3.

And will happen with Stephanie? As a singer, is she going to be make it as big as Jesse and the Rippers did?

Best Speeches from the SAG Awards

Best Speeches from the SAG Awards

At the 2017 SAG Awards , several winners gave powerful messages. Here are excerpts from speeches by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won an award for "Veep." Mahershala Ali, who took home an award for "Moonlight," and David Harbour, the star of Stranger Things, who won the SAG equivalent of best TV drama. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep" Whether the Russians did or did not hack the voting of tonight's SAG Awards, I look out on the million, or probably even a million and a half people in this room, and I say, this award is legitimate, and I won! I'm the winner, the winner is me — landslide!

... To a less insane note, I'd like to say that I am a very proud member of this union, and I'm thrilled to be here tonight, and I thank the Screen Actors Guild. I want you all to know that I am the daughter of an immigrant. My father fled religious persecution in Nazi-occupied France, and I'm an American patriot. And I love this country. And because I love this country, I am horrified by its blemishes. This immigrant ban is a blemish, and it is un-American.

... Our sister guild, the [Writers Guild], made a statement today that I would like to read because I am in complete agreeance with it. Our guilds are unions of storytellers who have always welcomed those from the nations and of varying beliefs who wish to share their creativity with America. We are grateful for them. We stand with them, and we will fight for them. Thank you very much.

Mahershala Ali, "Moonlight" What I've learned from working on "Moonlight" is, we see what happens when you persecute people. They fold into themselves. And what I was so grateful about in having the opportunity to play Juan was, playing a gentleman who saw a young man folding into himself as a result of the persecution of his community, and taking that opportunity to uplift him and tell him that he mattered and that he was O.K. and accept him and, uh — I hope that we do a better job of that.

You know, when we kind of get caught up in the minutiae, the details that make us all different, I think there's two ways of seeing that. There's an opportunity to see the texture of that person, the characteristics that make them unique.

And then there's an opportunity to go to war about it, and to say that that person is different than me, and I don't like you, so let's battle. My mother is an ordained minister. I'm a Muslim. She didn't do back flips when I called her to tell her I converted 17 years ago. But I tell you now, we put things to the side, and I'm able to see her, she's able to see me — we love each other, the love has grown, and that stuff in minutiae. It's not that important.

Actors seek posthumous protections

Actors seek posthumous protections

The death of Star Wars' princess Carrie Fisher set off waves of speculation over her character's return in the saga's future episodes. Advances in digital technology are allowing filmmakers to resurrect characters after a performer dies. But this is not good news for everybody. This trend has sent Hollywood actors in the here-and-now scrambling to exert control over how their characters and images are portrayed in the hereafter.

"Celebrities are increasingly involved in making plans to protect their intellectual property rights ," said Mark Roesler, an attorney and chairman of CMG Worldwide, an agency representing celebrity estates. "They understand that their legacy will continue beyond their lifetime."

Roesler said that at least 25 of his clients are negotiating the use of their or their loved ones‘ computer-generated images in movies, television and commercials. While employment contracts determine how they can be used in a particular film or commercial, a performer's will may address broader issues.

According to Roesler, some actors or their family fret that overexposure will tarnish a celebrity's image. These wills vary.

Heirs already have control over actors‘ posthumous profits by requiring their permission for any use of their likeness, California law states. However, as technology has improved, what actors are focused on nowadays is on steering their legacy with stipulations on how their images are used - or by forbidding their use.

Robin Williams, for instance, who died back in 2014, forbid any use of his image for commercial purposes until 2039, according to court documents. He also blocked anyone from digitally inserting him into a movie or TV scene or using a hologram, as was done with rapper Tupac Shakur at Southern California's Coachella music festival in 2012 - 16 years after his murder.

With digital technology opening up so many possibilities, actors‘ union SAG-AFTRA is lobbying for all states to enact protections on the use of celebrity images after they die.

"The issue for us is straightforward and clear: The use of performers‘ work in this manner has obvious economic value and should be treated accordingly," a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson said.

Another issue with this technology is that the prospect is more costly than hiring even a first-tier actor. "It's very expensive," Litwak said.

Another question for filmmakers is whether technology provides a realistic portrayal.

"Most people in the movie industry don't think it‘s quite there yet," Litwak said. "It's amazing what they can do, but it's not as good as a real actor. It seems a bit artificial."

After Tarkin's resurrection in "Rogue One" some fans complained the portrayal did not look human enough.

"Does Disney want to have people scrutinizing how real that synthetic character is, rather than talking about the movie itself?" he asked about the prospect of Leia's return. "It would be a distraction."
