Grandfathered – Blog Post #1
John Stamos’ Uncle Jesse from Full House is one of the most beloved television characters from any sitcom. Grandfathered, premiering on September 29th on Fox, follows John Stamos’ ‘new’ character as he plays a lifelong bachelor who discovers that he not only has a son, but now a granddaughter. This show takes John Stamos’ strengths from Full House and incorporates it into this new show’s storylines. Fox appears hopeful that surrounding Stamos with components that made Full House successful could make this show a success, too.
This show has been gaining a lot of traction due to the wide appeal of the content. Although, not as family friendly as Full House, it is hoping to tap into similar demographics. From a business standpoint, this show has the potential to do extremely well in the 18-49 demographic because the older portion of this age group remembers Stamos in his iconic role. Also, the younger demographics are drawn into the show because of stars like Josh Peck and Christina Milian. Overall, it appears that the show will reach a wide array of viewers, which is a positive sign for advertisers.
