They forgot
I know time has passed by, but none of these actors remember how to play their characters.
They don't? How so?
shareThey are playing all generic versions of themselves. When DJ or Stephanie "act" I see Candace and Jodie as who they want their characters to be. Danny is a lazy Bog Saget, Joey is a confused Dave Coulier and Becky is a over the top Lori. Kimmy is still annoying and Jesse is still Uncle Jesse, so OK maybe 2 of them remember, ,maybe because they a closer to their characters themselves. Except Kimmy doesn't make that stupid confused look anymore, probably because the actress doesn't want too. Then there is Steve, who seems to try, but he's more " forced comedic" than the Steve I remember.
shareIMO I think Stephanie and Joey are the two that slipped right back into the roles with ease. Steve is a different version of Steve for sure but he's damn hysterical. Candice is fine as the lead but she tries too hard with the comedy.
The rest I agree that they've forgotten how to play these roles. Saget is not playing the corny Danny we all know and love. H'es just there because he loves the people involved. Personally I think Stamos is one of the worst offenders with all his wink and nod to the camera moments.
But my problem with the new show is just that it all feels so staged. It doesn't feel organic at all
Kimmy still has the same eccentric personality.
Stephanie is all grown up so we can't expect her to play that cute little chatter box girl she was.
