Fuller House

Elizabeth Olsen was offered her sisters' role of Michelle Tanner, but she turned it down.

The creators had been pitching this show to various cable and broadcast networks since 2007, but none of the networks thought it would be successful. It took almost seven years before a distributor, Netflix, finally stepped forward in support of the series.

The first episode is a 'Full House' reunion special. Creator Jeff Franklin called it "in essence, the last episode for the fans that we never got to do".
