What title was used for the Russian adaptation of Full House?

The story behind the answer

The Russian adaptation of Full House was titled Topsy-Turvy House, or “Дом кувырком” in Russian. It was developed after the Moscow-based network STS licensed Full House and other Warner Bros. properties for local adaptation.

The remake retained the American sitcom's broad premise: a widowed father raises three daughters with help from other adults in the household. Its writers adjusted plots and characters to fit Russian cultural circumstances rather than simply dubbing the original episodes.

The adaptation began in 2009 and ran for two seasons. That relatively short run is easy to overlook because the American Full House lasted eight seasons and became a long-running syndicated favorite.

The title is also sometimes translated informally as “House Upside Down” or “Upside-Down House.” Those renderings describe the same Russian project, but Topsy-Turvy House is the English title used in the standard reference account and is the canonical quiz answer.
