Fuller House (Netflix) If you grew up in the 80's and early 90's chances are you spent a good portion of your Friday night watching TGIF where "Full House" was a staple. The new series follows Candace Cameron Bure as grown-up "DJ 'Fuller'" (her married name) who now finds herself raising three boys alone after her husband's death. Frequent cameos and the return of cast members Jodie Sweetin "Stephanie Tanner" and Andrea Barber "Kimmy Gibler" make the show a fun blast from the past, set in the present day.
Will & Grace (NBC) All of the series regulars returned 11 years after the series finale, and ignored the storyline of the season finale. The show resumes with all of the same humor you loved, but updated for the times.
