One of the first sitcoms to feature a non-traditional, blended family with several different father figures was Full House, which ran from 1987 to 1995. Bob Saget played Danny Tanner, a sports anchor and widower who calls upon his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and best friend Joey Gladstone to help him raise his three daughters. Of course, there were plenty of hi-jinx on the show, but there were also a lot of tender teaching moments between father and daughters. 

Even though the show is long off the air, the cast of the program has stayed close, even though it's been decades — something Saget acknowledges is rare. "Normally actors don't stay with an ensemble, and stay friends, but... we stayed really close," he shared in an interview with Steve Harvey on his eponymous talk show Steve. "We went to dinner once, years ago, in Malibu, the entire cast... and Tony Danza walked in with his wife, and he said, 'What are you all doing together?' and I said, 'What? Who's the Boss? doesn't go to dinner?'" Hilarious!

The seminal sitcom was rebooted in 2016 as Fuller House, with many of the same cast members all grown up.
