The decision to reboot the ABC comedy “Full House” on Netflix with most of the original cast came down to the idea of families watching TV together.

“We got very excited about the idea of co-viewing the audience which is very rare on television today,” Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix, said Tuesday as the Television Critics Association summer meeting began.

It was also a smart business decision because it’s remained a part of popular culture since going off the air in 1995, thanks to syndication.

The reboot, called ‘Fuller House’, had its first taping last week.

Sarandos said the cast easily slipped back into their characters.

As for whether Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would ever reprise their role of Michelle Tanner, Sarandos said, “the Olsen twins are teetering (over) whether or not they’ll be around.”
