Some Jerk who hates Joy & Happiness lied about a Full House return show

I watched Full House so religiously growing up that I would seriously panic if a Friday night event was scheduled that might cause me to miss a new episode. The invention of the DVR was years away and so I had to rely on frequent begging and pleading to the only adult that cared about my happiness (mom) to PLEASE make triple sure the airplane-cockpick-dashboard style labyrinth that is the VCR programming was set to record the show at the right time. It didn’t always work and my fury and sadness was unleashed, since, without an internet that did anything more than chat rooms and email, I would have to wait 6-months, a year or more to just by luck catch the repeat of that nights aired episode.

Well guess what!? Full House is set to return for a reunion season this year! Except not really. That’s just a lie some evil person made up because they were shunned by society and now they want all of us to suffer. I didn’t see or hear the claim anywhere and instead saw the reports that it was going viral as a revived-for-some-reason hoax from an April Fools joke of last year, but I have to admit I keep dying a little inside each time I see someone else talk about it.

The reports said that the gag claimed the new show would be about the 3 Tanner girls all grown up (did I mention the crush I had on Kimmy Gibbler?) but the quotes from the claim came from the Rhode Island newspaper the Newport Gazette, which is a publication that has not been in print since 1799 (double-fools. harr harr). Via a local ABC News affiliate:

The original article was published on entertainment site Screenrant.com as part of its April Fool’s Day joke earlier this year (13), and a representative for the site even took to Twitter.com to clear the rumor and wrote, “Someone picked that up as legit (legitimate) news? Last year, a few broadcast sites even picked up the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles April Fools post.”

What’s NOT a hoax, however is that the ’90s sitcom, Boy Meets World, WILL be returning with a reunion cast in a new series called Girl Meets World focusing on the daughter of Cory & Topanga with Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel reprising their roles and… wait for it… YES, Mr Feeny is not only not dead, but will also be in the series. Ka-pie-yah.
