Fans have voiced their excitement over the band's reunion on Tuesday, including Katherine who posted, "Too good to be true!"
"Day made," added Alexander.
Stamos is not the only actor to reunite with the former television series. Bob Saget, who portrayed patriarch Danny Tanner on "Full House," recently visited the home that served at the exterior of his character's home on the series.
"I was going to do a big radio show, and I said to my driver, 'Radio can wait, take me to the 'Full House' house,'" explained Saget to Us Weekly last month. "I photobombed the 'Full House' house yesterday. I took like 20 pictures because I thought I didn't look good in any of these- you can't see the house! You gotta really show that that's the house!"
Canceled after eight seasons, "Full House" followed widowed Tanner who lived in San Francisco with his three daughters, best friend Joey, and brother-in-law Jesse. Among the cast was also Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson and Candace Cameron-Bure.
