Rumors are circulating now that Warner Bros. is thinking of having "Full House" return to television with a number of the original members of the cast.

Leading the initiative is John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse on the hit sitcom in the 1980s and mid-1990s. He has an ownership stake in the show, according to TV Guide, which gives him plenty of reasons to support its return.

John Stamos has been hinting about the show's comeback since 2009.

It seems probable that this is going to be realized. Creator Jeff Franklin, who will be writing the new version and Bob Boyett, the original executive producer, are both on board as well as Andrea Barber (Kimmy), Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.) and Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie). Dave Coulier (Joey) and Bob Saget (Danny) are also reportedly involved. It is not yet known if twins Kate and Mary Olsen will also be in the show if it pushes through.

It is great to know that the original cast had remained close friends and even did some work together after the show. In the film industry, where friendships come and go, it is endearing to see people develop close relationships.

The three guys, Saget, Coulier and Stamos, did a yogurt commercial early this year. The trio also came as their "Full House" characters when they guested on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" recently.

ABC recently revived another family-friendly show, "Boy Meets World." The revived show is now airing on Disney Channel with a title change -- "Girl Meets World." "Full House" was highly popular and more people continue to discover the show. An average of about 1.5 million viewers watch the primetime repeats of the show, which saw an increase of 7 percent from last year. It's got a new fan base from viewers that were not even born when the show had its final episode.

"Full House" was consistently in the Top 25 shows during its original telecast. ABC cancelled the show because of changes in tastes and budget constraints. Staff members even offered to have their pay cut so the show could continue but ABC did not budge.
