Conclusion
Although the show became more popular during the time, the reviews from critics remained negative. Writer Willa Paskin from Slate stated the series is:
“a hackneyed and saccharine family sitcom”
Isaac Feldberg wrote:
“it was archetypally average, hiding behind a ubiquitous laugh track and obnoxiously on-the-nose life lessons.”
To adhere to child labor laws, the Olson twins were rotated during filming, playing the role of Michelle.

The show produced a spin-off called “Fuller House”. ABD also cross-marketed the show to release productions like Home Improvement, Family Matters, and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.
