Disney References in Netflix’s Fuller House
TGIF is back with Netflix's follow up to ABC's Friday night staple of the early 1990's, Full House. The new series isn't on ABC, but if you didn't know that this was a Netflix original series you might easily mistake it for an ABC sitcom. The show references other current ABC series so often that you would swear a Disney exec was asking the writers to insert some of these jokes. But Disney's synergy arm was absent during production of this Warner Bros. produced series. In case you missed any of the Disney/ABC references during your weekend binge watching, I've chronicled them all for your reading pleasure.
Episode 1: Our First Show, Again

In John Stamos' return as Uncle Jesse, he mentions that his music career has lead him to a composing gig on General Hospital, ABC's long running soap opera and one that John Stamos starred in.
Also DJ's old flame Steve makes a guest appearance in this episode. And while no Aladdin jokes are quipped, those who didn't grow up with the original series might miss that he is none other than the speaking voice of Aladdin, Scott Weinger. Also, I couldn't help but notice the very Prince Ali-esque stance he took when making his entrance. Modern day teens and tweens will be #MindBlown.
Episode 3: Funner House
When Stefanie and Kimmy drag DJ away from the house for a girls night out, several magical things occur. If you watch ABC's Dancing with the Stars, then you're sure to recognize guest stars Maks and Val Chmerkovskiy who play brothers interested in DJ and Stefanie. Candace Cameron (DJ) was a contestant on Season 18 and Jodie Sweetin (Stefanie) will be on the upcoming season. Both girls get plenty of on-screen dancing time with their date. And when DJ's date asks where she learned to dance, she says "Oh, I watch Dancing with the Stars every week!," to which he replies "That's impossible! It's seasonal and alternates with The Bachelor."[gallery td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="142033,142034"]
Episode 11: Partnerships in the Night

Episode 12: Save the Dates

Episode 13: Love is in the Air

If Netflix renews Fuller House for another season, I would love to see a crossover episode with Modern Family and maybe an episode where Kimmy Gibbler takes a wacky invention to Shark Tank.
