Fuller House, the Netflix reboot of that iconic TV show, is finally here! While you probably can't wait to binge-watch the series on Netflix, one question still remains — how does it compare to the original? If you're worried that the reboot won't live up to the original, don't worry — we've got you covered. After digging up our favorite pics from the set, we rounded up all the show's references to Full House so you don't have to. Keep scrolling for all the details, but be warned: there are major spoilers ahead.

The Story Starts the Same

The reboot's beginning is just as tragic as Full House's. After losing her husband, DJ is forced to raise her three kids as a single parent. The only difference is that all the genders have been swapped, with DJ having three boys instead of girls and Stephanie and Kimmy stepping in as the new Uncle Jesse and Joey.

The Reboot's Set Is Nearly Identical to the Original's

The show's creators do a fantastic job at re-creating the San Francisco home we all came to love and cherish. There are even little touches you may have missed like how the pencil bed belonging to DJ's son looks almost identical to the one Michelle owned, with a few modern touches.

There's an Adorable Family Pet

That's right, Comet is still in the picture — well, sort of. Turns out the adorable Labrador retriever had a family of its own, and now DJ's son is the proud owner of Comet Jr. Jr. Jr., which he names Cosmo T.D. Fuller.

Family Hugs Still Solve Every Problem

Rest assured, Tanner family hugs are still very present. They are even the punch line of a joke or two throughout the series.
