Full House is classified as a sitcom, or situation comedy, on Wikipedia.
The series was created by Jeff Franklin and originally aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995. Its premise centers on widowed father Danny Tanner, who raises his three daughters with help from his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and his best friend Joey Gladstone. The recurring domestic setting, family-centered storylines, ensemble cast, and comedic conflicts are central sitcom conventions.
Full House is sometimes described more broadly as a family comedy or family television series, but those labels do not replace its standard genre classification. “Soap opera” is also inaccurate: although the show develops continuing relationships and family changes, its episodes generally use self-contained comic plots rather than serialized melodrama. It is likewise not a game show or a drama in the usual genre sense.
The related sequel series, Fuller House, retains the same family-sitcom identity while shifting the focus to an adult D.J. Tanner-Fuller and her household.
