SAN FRANCISCO What ever happened to predictability? As it turns out, it gets rebooted on the worlds largest streaming site.

After getting a look behind the scenes two weeks ago, an official trailer for the Full House sequel series Fuller House has finally been released. The two-minute preview includes a parade of familiar faces and quotable catchphrases that will have most 90s kids busting out their scrunchies and blasting NKOTB.

Netflix greenlit Fuller House in Spring 2015, and the show will follow a new generation of Tanners. Veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure) is a newly widowed mother of three boys and faces the prospect of single parenthood, much like her father Danny did in the original series. Similarly, there is a support system ready to rally around her. D.J.s team includes her grown sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber).

The trailer reintroduces the Broderick Street house staples Uncle Jesse and Joey, and we even catch a glimpse of grown up Katsopolis twins Nicky and Alex, though the aforementioned characters are only slated to make a one or two episode appearance. The majority of the 13-episode arc will be filled by D.J., Stephanie and Kimmys adventures in parenthood as D.J. parents her three sons (ages 12, 7 and newborn) and Kimmy battles her feisty teenage daughter Ramona all under the same roof.

The most notable cast member absences are Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, but the trailer does allude to the youngest Tanner daughter when she gets a phone call from the shows top-billed trio.

The series is slated for release on Netflix Feb. 26.

Have You Seen This? Street musician slays with clarinet

THE BIG EASY — Yeah, yeah, we all know that New Orleans is stuffed to the gills will incredible musicians.

But knowing that fact and then hearing that fact are two different things. You can step into any number of jazz clubs on any given night on Bourbon Street, and you’ll probably be impressed with virtually every act. Or you can sit at home on your comfy couch and watch this featured video.

In the video, you’ll see a woman who is in the groove. She is swinging hard, and wailing on her clarinet with a practiced expertise that makes it sounds so easy.

From note one you’ll be drawn in; your appreciation will grow with every second, and then your face will melt off when you realize how incredible she really is.

If you’ve never played a woodwind or a brass, you may not know everything that comes with a performance like this. Lung capacity and breath control are huge factors in keeping your notes clear and loud, and hitting those high notes is especially difficult.

So when this woman hits that high note and holds it for several seconds, you know you’re dealing with an exceptional musician. It means she has worked hard for years to develop skill on top of her natural talent, and we get to benefit.

It kinda makes you wonder how we let people get away with mumble rap and autotune when talent like this exists in the world.

I wish this video were longer, and I wish I had more information about this woman, but as it is, we’ll just have to appreciate the little flavor of New Orleans jazz posted by the Facebook group Clarinet Life.
