As a child of the ’90s, I can vividly remember the days when “Full House” was a staple in my household. The Tanner family was like an extended family to me, and Kimmy Gibbler, with her quirky charm, was one of my favorite characters. Fast forward to the Netflix spinoff “Fuller House,” and the introduction of Jimmy Gibbler left me scratching my head.
90’s kids hold a special affection for the show Full House, complete with its catchy TV theme and heartwarming family scenes. The Netflix reboot, Fuller House, has also captivated a new generation with the Tanner family storyline. Despite the shows’ enduring popularity, there are numerous plot inconsistencies that have left fans puzzled. Recently, Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler in both series, admitted to resisting one particular aspect of her character’s background on Fuller House, as she anticipated fan backlash. It seems her instincts were correct, as she continues to receive comments about it to this day.
Andrea Barber Knew Fans Would Take Issue With Kimmy’s New Brother
As a die-hard fan of Full House, it’s always been baffling to me how Kimmy Gibbler’s family, one of the most peculiar in the show, was barely ever seen. Not a peep about her parents or any other siblings… until Fuller House came along. Even amongst her kin, only her brother Garth got a mention in the original series. So, when it came to introducing another brother in the spinoff, I knew Andrea Barber had a challenging task ahead, as she put it on her How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast.
When they planned to incorporate Jimmy Gibbler into Fuller House, they expressed enthusiasm, saying, “We’re thrilled to have Jimmy Gibbler!” But I knew this decision would cause a stir among fans. I was anticipating a lifetime of questions, DMs, and emails about it if they didn’t name him Garth. They preferred Jimmy and Kimmy, appreciating the rhyming aspect. So, I braced myself for what was to come!
In the second season premiere of “Fuller House,” Adam Hagenbuch’s character, Jimmy, turned out to be quite significant, playing a pivotal role in the series as time went on.
Speaking as a devoted fan here, I’m referring to Adam Hagenbuch, who graced our screens in 36 episodes. His character, interestingly enough, ended up marrying Jodie Sweetin’s Stephanie Tanner. Now, let’s talk about Andrea Barber’s prediction. She hinted at some intriguing questions, DMs, and emails, so I wonder if those predictions have come to pass?
I’m still hearing about it, and I will until…
As long as folks continue to watch both “Full House” and “Fuller House,” it seems! Unfortunately, Andrea Barber realized that the creators of Jimmy Gibbler wouldn’t be the ones to explain to the fans why he wasn’t mentioned on the original series. So, just how intricate is the Gibbler family lineage?
Full House’s Gibbler Family Remains Confusing, Even For The Actors
In the very first episode of “Full House” which aired in 1987, it was initially set up that DJ Tanner’s best friend, who became one of television’s most grating characters, had three elder sisters. However, these sisters were never mentioned again throughout the series. Interestingly, Kimmy, another character on the show, mentions her older brother Garth and also expresses gratitude for her mother deciding to stop having children after her. This suggests that the perpetually present neighbor was likely the youngest of five Gibbler siblings.
In the show “Fuller House”, when Jimmy makes an appearance, he’s portrayed as Kimmy’s young brother whom Stephanie hasn’t met since he was a skinny child. This suggests that perhaps the Gibblers had more kids than previously thought!
Interestingly enough, Jodie Sweetin mentioned during the podcast that neither Garth nor any of their supposed sisters were present at the grand triple wedding. This might not be surprising if you think about it, as the Olsen twins also didn’t attend any event since they stopped working together.
To delve into all aspects of the Gibbler family or discover any inconsistencies that might have arisen throughout the series, you can stream “Full House” with a Max subscription. Alternatively, if you’d like to catch up on more recent events involving the Gibblers, “Fuller House” is available for viewing on Netflix, one of the top streaming services.
