John Stamos is back on TV, and though the pilot of Grandfathered does include one big wink to his well-regarded time on Full House via a certain cameo, the new FOX series is clearly a way for the 52-year-old actor to show off a different set of skills.

Grandfathered offers John Stamos a chance to do something new on TV and is an enjoyable take on the "modern family" storytelling device. Josh Peck and Paget Brewster round out a great cast, and both have great chemistry with the FOX series' lead. What Grandfathered needs to do to set itself apart from others of its kind is lean into what makes it u...
