1061 KISS FM’s Listeners Weigh in on Lifetime’s Unauthorized ‘Full House’ Movie

This morning on The Rob's Radio Show with Kat Mykals we talked about Lifetime’s The Unauthorized ‘Full House’ Story - specifically the cast's resemblance to the original cast.

Premiering on August 22 and telling a behind-the-scenes account of the ABC sitcom from 1987 to 1995 (just like the “unauthorized” Saved by the Bell flick), the Full House take features Garrett Brawith as Bob Saget, Justin Mader as Dave Coulier, Justin Gaston as John Stamos and Stephanie Bennett as Lori Loughlin.

Candace Cameron will be played younger and older by Shelby Armstrong and Brittney Wilson, Jodie Sweetin by Dakota Guppy and Jordyn Olson, and Andrea Barber by Aislyn Watson and Jaime Schneider. Blaise and Kinslea Todd will play the toddler Olsen twins, followed by Calla and Tyla Jones at age six, and Kyle and Jordan Armstrong at age nine.

Rob thinks Danny is the closest to what the original cast member, Bob Saget, looks like but Kat thinks Uncle Joey is the closest but an "an older, fatter version."

Our listeners are weighing in too:

• Angel Cornwell I agree with Rob, but I also think the casting is wrong all around.

• Tammara Ozee Stephanie, she looks just like Jodie Sweetin did.
• Amanda Becker I'm going to have to go with the guy playing Joey looks more like the original actor.
• Samantha Hadley Stephanie is the closest. The others just look like a bad group halloween costume.
• Amanda Bacon-Lents The joey looks like a creeper. I think they got it best with stephanie
• Caleb Willingham Stephanie is dead on
• Rachel Morris I have to agree with Rob I think Danny looks more like the real Danny. The rest of them not so much.
• Steven Henning1. Is Jon Stewart playing Danny? 2. Gross!

  Erica Mockobee Lively Joey no I watched every episode and he looks the least like Joey the same with DJ
• Andrea Youngblood Stafford Danny is the most real and I also think Stephanie is a real close resemblance
• Katie Beach Duff I think Danny and Stephanie look most like the characters
