Good point, but my gut tells me they will want to keep the show to the same timeline, which allows for the same approx. length of host segments and theatre segments per episode. No point having a movie that's 90 min one week, then a 2 hour one next. I could be wrong.

Which totally makes sense and I am not against that in any way. I don't think the shows should be different run-times episode to episode either, I was just wondering if being on Netflix would allow them to have a 1 hr 45 min or 2 hour show, if that's what they wanted to do, rather than the 97 minutes.

That's my guess. I've never really watched any Netflix original series but the few that I've paid any attention to seem to have a somewhat fluid episode length. All episodes are about the same length but there's much less rigidity than with regular network TV. Also, I know they promised it's still going to be a family show, but I'm guessing the movies will likely have some more parts that wouldn't have been readily accepted on network TV.

Most Netflix shows I've seen are very loose with the time frame. Daredevil or Jessica Jones for example weren't restricted to being 45 minutes long to mimic the format of a television drama with commercials. On average they ran about 50 to 55 minutes, and occasionally they ran over an hour. It depended on what that individual episode needed.
I didn't pay attention to the run times on Fuller House, which my roommate and I bingewatched on through nostalgia (despite it not being very good), but it felt just as loose. It definitely ran in the 26 to 30 minute range per episode, for an example of a different format.
From what I hear Netflix gives them freedom but certain guidelines to follow around length, in which they give you both a minimum and a maximum per episode. I imagine MST's will run somewhere between an hour and a half and two hours. The average will likely be around an hour and 40 minutes.

A thought just occurred to me, do you guys think they might forgo the bumpers? Since they'll likely be presenting the show without commercials, having bumpers in the show might be redundant. I'd be fine either way if they did or didn't include them though.

I assume it will be like The Movie, where they'll still have a couple of breaks for host segments despite not necessarily needing them anymore from a commercial standpoint.

I'd be fine either way if they did or didn't include them though. I would guess bumpers would be a thing of the past. Their purpose was to bookend commercial breaks. In the classic show there really was no logical reason that the host segments happened - at least not storyline wise. Maybe this time they can use bumpers for some in universe reason to bookend the movies.

Not only that, but when Netflix auto-starts the next episode before the credits are done, if they have a stinger, most people will miss it. They could put a quick scene at the end and it would basically be an Easter egg if no one watches the credits.

Generally if a TV show has something happening during the end credits, the Autostart doesn't run until the very end.

Counterpoint: the fourth season of Arrested Development, which retained the commercial break segues from the original series despite their irrelevance on Netflix.

Most people would get annoyed if it made them watch the credits only to see a stinger.
