OK, you can't talk about Full House without also talking about the hair, clothes, and music. My boys keep asking me if people "really dressed like that" and if dad "once had hair like that." That's led to several sessions of flipping through old photo albums (the kind with the vellum covers where the pictures keep falling out!) and plenty of laughing as we relive the awful styles of the early '90s.
And then there's the music. If I put on the oldies station on the radio, all I hear is whining from the backseat. They'd rather listen to Katy Perry, Pitbull, and Ariana Grande. But when the Beach Boys appear on the show and I explain that they were grandma's favorite band and they appeared on a show that I liked, my kids' minds are blown. They actually sit and listen. They may not like it, but they're taking it in, making it something the multiple generations in my family can enjoy together.
