Full House was an American family sitcom that originally aired from 1987 to 1995, following a widowed father raising three daughters in San Francisco with help from his brother-in-law and best friend. Its gentle humour, catchphrases and wholesome family lessons made it a staple of reruns and later streaming, while the sequel series Fuller House renewed interest in the original show. Short clips from the series now circulate widely as reaction sounds, because even a few seconds instantly signal familiar, feel-good television to viewers who grew up watching it.
