Full House

"YES kids, Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings - and the Olsen twins had a weekly TV series once upon a time called "Full House."

It seems a whole new generation is suddenly rediscovering the Olsens' roots -- because reruns of "Full House" are now the top-rated show (cable and broadcast) among the "tween" set.

"It's not a newfound success for us, but it's certainly growing," says a Nickelodeon spokesman.

For the week ending June 6, re runs of "Full House" -- which airs several times a week on Nick at Nite -- occupied three of the top five spots among kids 9-14 years old, the coveted "tweens" set of kids.

Since April, ratings have grown a whopping 78 percent among tweens, the network says.

That's remarkable for a series that hasn't aired an original epi sode in almost 10 years."
