That '90s Show

Reboots of old shows are all the rage right now. Whether it's a revival with the same cast members returning or a spinoff set in the same universe as a previous ...

As for this first season, the whole experience is probably more of an appetizer for viewers to go back and rewatch That ‘70s Show all over again. The show also tries to juggle ‘90s pop culture references with ‘70s decor around the Forman residence, and this attention to detail should erase any distractions that may have occurred otherwise for fans who get obsessed with time pieces on television. There’s also an effort to mirror some of the traits of the original characters in the new cast members, but this results in a mixed bag of mediocre joke setups and punchlines. The protagonist of That ‘90s Show is likable enough. The glue that holds this spinoff together is the husband-wife team of over 40 years that we mentioned at the beginning. For these reasons, the vibrant and unique acting skills that were displayed on That ‘70s Show make it nearly impossible to replicate in a rebooted format with new actors. He constantly encourages Kitty to pursue her dreams in their senior years, topped off by nudging her back into the workforce as a nurse. With multiple decades separating their appearance in the two shows, the writers have keenly evolved these parents into more modern versions of themselves. The latest in a long line of these modern takes on classics is That ‘90s Show. Grace was the antagonist, Venom, in Spider-Man 3, and Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. Like a lot of these reboots that have occurred on streaming services, such as [Fuller House](https://www.denofgeek.com/full-house/), finding a balance between new and old characters is a very arduous task. This is a dangerous trend for those who want a little more creativity on our screens, but it’s also comforting to see characters and actors from our childhoods, especially in a time with so much economic and health turmoil following COVID-19.

Leia attempts to impress her (very high) friends by renting a cool movie from the video store, but Leo (Tommy Chong, reprising his 'That '70s Show' role) ...

It’s moves like these that make “Free Leia” feel less like a summer repeat of the pilot and more like the show is already serving up leftovers. Also as a ruthless peruser of onscreen video-store shelves, I can report that the titles lining the Point Place store are quite accurate to the era, erring on the side of slightly old (new releases that were actually circulating in late 1994) rather than too new. Anders is fine, gamely playing up a native Wisconsin accent, but there’s not much story to this B-story: Sherri introduces herself to Red and Kitty, reveals she’s dating a guy she’s trying to dump, and then reveals to us that the guy is … Gwen follows, Leia confesses her imposter syndrome, Gwen reassures her that she likes her and the others will follow — and that the inventors of a game called StickStick don’t have much of a leg to stand on, coolness-wise. This is what brings to mind She-Hulk: little comic escalation, no real payoff, and the general sense that the people making the show are reconstructing a sitcom episode from memory rather than inspiration. Between the dry, dry Raisin Bran that Leia has served as a snack and the lack of a promised cool movie, she freaks out and bolts.

½ out of four), a new Netflix series that tries to transport the Forman basement into a new decade. Suffice to say, like many of the unnecessary TV remakes, ...

The setting is incidental, probably chosen because it's been about 20 years since "’70s" made its bow and ’90s nostalgia is trendy, and it shows. Like "’70s," "’90s" is about a group of teenagers in Wisconsin and their antics while their parents aren't around. To shoehorn this into a format that resembles the original, Donna and Eric agree to let Leia stay at her grandparents' house for the summer after she makes friends in the neighborhood (sure, why not?). Suffice it to say, like many of the unnecessary TV remakes, reboots and revivals of the past few years, "’90s" does not capture the "’70s" magic. Forced, unfunny and lacking any kind of charm, "’90s" feels like a parody of a sitcom rather than an actual TV show. Mainstream nostalgia favored the Americana-soaked 1950s and ’60s, but the often-stoned, often-idiotic teens, including Eric Forman (Topher Grace), Michael Kelso ( [Ashton Kutcher](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/12/05/ashton-kutchers-twin-brother-michael-jealousy-drove-them-apart/10841701002/)), Donna Pinciotti ( [Laura Prepon](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2021/08/17/laura-prepon-that-70-s-show-doesnt-practice-scientology/8173224002/)) and Jackie Burkhart ( [Mila Kunis](https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/entertainment/celebrities/2022/04/23/celebrities-donating-ukraine-refugees/7412530001/)) were irreverent, silly and fun.

Netflix's 'That '70s' Show' spinoff is endearingly familiar. So familiar, in fact, that it could use a little more imagination.

With a 10-episode season, That ’90s Show is the typical length of a Netflix original series—and most television during the streaming era, for that matter. Maybe it’s my nostalgia for That ’70s Show talking, but we’ve only just said [hello to Wisconsin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXZBYshUMUM) again—it would be a shame if we had to bid farewell after one ’90s summer. Creating a new teen ensemble with the same chemistry as the original cast was always going to be a tall order, but more than anything, That ’90s Show suffers from a lack of imagination. The best thing a good sitcom has going for it is developing a sense of familiarity with the characters, and that’s easier to achieve with a longer runway. Picking up the action in the summer of 1995, That ’90s Show finds Red and Kitty adjusting to life as empty nesters. (That ’80s Show borrowed the original series’ format, but otherwise didn’t have any crossover appeal.) The Forman household and other key locations in Point Place have been fastidiously recreated for That ’90s Show, while the majority of the original cast—joining Grace and Prepon are Kunis, Kutcher, Wilmer Valderrama, Don Stark, and Tommy Chong—return for cameos. But in the 17 years since That ’70s Show aired its finale, Netflix is banking on fans itching to return to Point Place for a new decade of teenage misadventures: the ’90s. Centering the last generation of teens whose lives weren’t heavily impacted by screens—one episode sees Kitty learning the basic steps of using Windows 95—That ’90s Show indulges in familiar pleasures like the circle and trips up the local water tower because the gang has nothing better to do. With so much of That ’70s Show taking place in the Forman family basement, and the stakes rarely bigger than, say, a breakup, it was the ultimate hangout show: a small-screen successor to the naturalistic charms of Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused. Unfortunately, even a show as endearingly aimless as That ’70s Show needed to call it quits eventually. That ’70s Show might not be remembered as sitcom royalty like Friends, but it did as well as any show could at capturing the universal experience of coming of age—no matter the time period. While Friends has been justifiably hailed as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, one thing the show never aspired to be was realistic.

That '90s Show, which follows Eric and Donna's daughter as she spends the summer of 1995 in Wisconsin, is nostalgic but too bland to stick.

Because of this, the show is mostly coasting on nostalgia, failing to create anything that feels rooted in time, place, and character. The gang finds weed, they smoke in the basement, they share kisses and failed romances, and they deal with the idea of the summer ending and what that means for their friendship. That '70s Show may not have been interested in historical accuracy, but it did use its time period to craft a mood, to create a lived-in world that was then used to build comedy and drama. When Leia quickly makes friends with some kids in the neighborhood, she decides she wants to stay for the summer, kicking off a season of teenage rebellion, romance, and self discovery. Some of that synchronicity is engaging, as we watch Leia forge a path similar to Eric's, finding a healthy bit of rebellion that she didn't know she had inside of her. Sure, That '90s Show is an easy watch, another harmless sitcom added to Netflix's library. That '90s Show is, interestingly enough, a perfect encapsulation of both the good and the bad that comes with the current revival craze. Unfortunately, being easy to watch isn't the same as being captivating or interesting. The first episode is really the only time when these characters feel like more than caricatures, because we know Eric, Donna, Kitty, and Red, and the show uses our knowledge to create new character dynamics while crafting good jokes based on their shared history. [That '90s Show](https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/that-90s-show/1001099351/) was never going to have an easy road to success.

Following the Jan. 19 premiere of Netflix's That '90s Show, discover all the ways the new series called back to That '70s Show.

[Netflix](https://www.eonline.com/news/netflix) Jan. A sequel series to [That '70s Show](https://www.eonline.com/news/that_70s_show), which ran on Fox between 1998 and 2006, That '90s Show follows [a new crop of teens](https://www.eonline.com/news/1356270/return-to-point-place-with-the-first-look-at-that-90s-show)—played by Callie Haverda, Ashley Aufderheide, Reyn Doi, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Mace Coronel and Sam Morelos—looking to hang out down the street. He quipped, "It's certainly made its way into the show very quickly." But there are two owls in the kitchen." "Well, there's the laugh," she shared. Now the owls are gone.

The veteran actor, who was born in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, is happy to be back together with Red Forman in Point Place.

"It was always in the back of my head that that’s where we were," he said. While "That '90s Show," like the original series, is set in Wisconsin, it's not really about Wisconsin. Red isn't the same person he was in "That '70s Show." "I thought the script was right on the money," Smith said. It's not like Smith had been in storage since "That '70s Show" ended. All 10 episodes of the follow-up to "That '70s Show" are now streaming on Netflix.

That might be because instead of charting a new path, the show essentially uses those characters as cutouts to simply recreate aspects of the original series, including the swerving camera and smoke-filled basement epiphanies. [“Full House”](https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/entertainment/fuller-house-tv-show-thr-feat/index.html) and “Gilmore Girls” while rebooting [“One Day at a Time.”](https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/06/entertainment/one-day-at-a-time-netflix-reboot/index.html) [ “Night Court”](https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/17/entertainment/night-court-review/index.html) turning this into a two-sitcom-revival week, an obvious means of seeking to knife through the programming clutter. Yet while there’s smoke here, there’s not much heat, as an uninspired next-generation crowd offsets encores by most of the original cast, leaving (Danny Masterson, whose recent rape trial [ended in a mistrial](https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/30/entertainment/danny-masterson-mistrial/index.html), is notably absent.)

ComingSoon spoke to That '90s Show star Kurtwood Smith about Netflix's sequel series, which begins streaming on January 19, 2023.

And it changed the focus of their lives, the direction of their lives, I think, and so they certainly remember that. How great is it knowing that the original show’s legacy is just going to grow because of this and it works on multiple levels? I mean, especially, I think, when they found out who was behind the show — the Turners and Greg — they felt comfortable coming back. I mean, I knew it was going to be done the right way because we had the people with the right pedigree there. Maybe he brought it for after the show.” But I said, “Tommy, what’s in the little bag?” And he said, “It’s my Tesla key, man.” Now he’s carrying around a Tesla key instead of a pouch of weed. the talent is obvious and their work ethic — they’re there on time, they know their lines, they don’t screw around, but yet at the same time, they have fun. When I was at the premier the other night, I was standing next to Tommy, and Tommy has quite a reputation with weed, so we’re standing there and he is got this leather pouch hanging around his neck. I just knew it was going to be right, and it was. She’s new to the show, of course, Andrea [Anders], and she’s just terrific. So it was really fun having him back on the show, and I’m sure we’ll see more, in the same way it was with Tommy, Tommy Chong. Or once you knew that this was being done the right way, were you on board? Tyler Treese: I love that the show wasn’t just aping off the original, it was a proper continuation.

Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, are back as Kitty and Red Forman in That '90s Show on Netflix, which has the lofty task of living up to That '70s Show.

A review of the new sitcom That '90s Show, now playing on Netflix.

Nikki is the sister of the often-eye-rolling Ozzie ( [Reyn Doi](/cast-and-crew/reyn-doi)), who is looking to come out as gay to Kitty and others. I was most struck by an end credit for [James Iha](/cast-and-crew/james-iha), guitarist of the Smashing Pumpkins—he provides the music for the series, which might include the guitar/drum bursts that the series uses to cap off a scene. [Ashley Aufderheide](/cast-and-crew/ashley-aufderheide)) is siblings with puppy dog jock Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan), who is attached at the lips to the academically focused Nikki (Sam Morelos). Instead of being shuttled off to Space Camp for the summer, she convinces her parents to let her stay with her grandparents Red and Kitty and to make friends with their neighbors who are Leia’s age. They’re also the biggest stars of the returning cast this time, with plenty of time for Kitty’s whimsical flights of fancy and overexcitement or how the Archie Bunker-esque Red finds a new way to threaten to put his foot up someone’s ass. [Topher Grace](/cast-and-crew/topher-grace), [Laura Prepon](/cast-and-crew/laura-prepon), [Wilmer Valderrama](/cast-and-crew/wilmer-valderrama), [Ashton Kutcher](/cast-and-crew/ashton-kutcher), and [Mila Kunis](/cast-and-crew/mila-kunis).

Leia has never been kissed, so Gwen suggests she go to the mall to make out with someone — maybe Jay? Sherri needs Red to break up with Fez (Wilmer ...

Mostly, this story line produces relief that it’s over, and looks unlikely to continue the extended-pilot vibes into the next episode. Too much of a softie to participate in Fez’s heartbreak, Kitty subcontracts out of her job and asks Red, who has spent much of the episode feeling uncharacteristically zen because of a Sharper Image massage chair, to let Fez down not so easy. “I don’t want to be some meaningless hookup,” he tells her, affirming her specialness and giving her a self-esteem boost in the process. Volunteering to help, Kitty makes an appointment at Fez’s salon; he’s remade himself in the image of a sexy stylist that seems equally inspired by Wilmer Valderrama’s dating history and You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. Callie Haverda has put some nicely awkward spins on her lines; in “Lip Smackers,” it’s funny to hear her accidentally confess her inexperience in the area of kissing by referring to tongues caressing uvulas (“The u-spot,” she adds). Gwen proposes an immediate solution: Head to the mall and “knock this out.” Cue the montage of Leia trying and failing to mack on the male population of the food court, intimidating an ice-cream scooper and accidentally hitting on a tall 9-year-old (“Hey, sexy, you eating grapes?”).

She’s an author, and Eric is an adjunct professor who teaches The Religion of “Star Wars.” “When we finally came to the set, it just kind of melted your heart, the fact that it was so much like coming home,” he says. (The Turners and Brazill's unsuccessful 2002 sequel "That '80s Show" centered on a group of friends in San Diego, and lasted only 13 episodes.) But “as COVID wore on, we had this feeling of a longing for something that we had, wanting to go back home again.”

The reprise or reunion was a long due as the original series premiered during the summer of 1995. The actor was put on trial the following year after entering a not guilty plea to each of the three accusations in January 2021.

The actor will not reprise his role as Steven Hyde after being charged in 2020 with forcibly raping three women in separate incidents between 2001 and 2003.

Yesterday was his last day of work, and we'll make new episodes in 2018 without him," the streamer wrote on Twitter at the time. "You know, I hesitate to say that I never saw any of that behavior because I feel like it sounds like I'm defending him, but the truth is I never saw any of that stuff," he said at the time. Despite being a main character on That '70s Show, the absence of Masterson's character Steven Hyde isn't addressed on the new show. Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart appear towards the end of the season one premiere, as audiences learn that Leia's new friend Jay (Mace Coronel) is the son of Kelso, who married his on-and-off-again high school girlfriend Jackie. In the premiere episode, Eric Formam and Donna Pinciotti returned to the home in Point Place, Wisconsin, where Eric grew up.

No, [in] that episode I had a lot of scenes in front of the audience, and it was really fun. Looking back, my favorite episode to watch is Episode 8, because it has a lot of really sweet moments because it was our last week filming, and the circle scene in that episode was the last scene that we filmed. I think their plan was to do it every season in the summer. I think it was actually the last one that we filmed, and also… Have you asked the creators, "If we get a Season 2, is it just going to jump ahead another year to the next summer?" I feel like for me, my favorite episode to actually film was probably Episode 6, just because that has a ton of interesting stuff in it. I love learning about the behind-the-scenes [and] the making of the show. I was freaking out because I thought my makeup was going to get ruined, and (makeup artist) Elie [Maalouf] put so much effort into it, but it was fine. I'm assuming maybe you guys do, as well, and I'm curious, which of you is the one who texts way too much? It was, I think, all of our first experience. Exchanging the polyester and feathered hair for grunge and overalls, That '90s Show will introduce fans to a new generation of friends. Can I be a fan?

Every cameo in Netflix's "That '90s Show," ranked, featuring Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace, and more.

Although this isn't technically a cameo, That '90s Show gives us its sweetest shot of nostalgia when Fez and Donna accidentally join the kids’ circle in the basement. It's a task he gladly takes on as the new man of the house. I love Bob Pinciotti so much, and the sheer fact that he's still rocking the '70s 'fro in the '90s is reason enough to give Don Stark all the applause. The cherry on top of it all is that he’s now officially related to Red, thanks to Eric and Donna’s marriage, and That '90s Show doesn't miss a beat with its grandparent hijinks. From pursuing a professional career in the epistemology of Star Wars to finally achieving his teenage dream of naming his kids Luke and Leia, it’s good to know that some things never change. The surreal scene is a delicious dose of pure '90s nostalgia. Jaws drop, applause erupts, and in the distance you can hear the faint sound of the Forman family cycle of justice coming to an end. Any true cultural connoisseur would agree that Red and Kitty are the heart of That '70s Show, and they continue to be the sweetest spot of That '90s Show, delivering some of its best lines and reminding us that you honestly do get funnier with age. Whether it was her finally calling mother-in-law Kitty “Mom” or consoling her daughter Leia (Callie Haverda) over the woes of teenagehood, Mama Donna is an absolute joy and still the independent badass we knew from the '70s. It's a familiar shriek that was more like music to my ears after decades of not hearing her perfect one-liners and never-ending demands. Although Mila Kunis' return as Jackie was brief, she stole the show with a single-second scream: "MICHAELLLL!!!!!!!" Before we begin, a shout-out and honorable mention should be bestowed to series regulars Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) Forman, who had me reaching for the tissues upon their first appearance.

Most of the storylines here is just a bunch of time-killing. A recap and review of season one, episode five of Netflix's 'That '90s Show.'

(Nate, for his part, returns with a free offscreen goat, also from the Pennysaver.) Naturally, they run into Leia just as she approaches Jay, hoping to clear the air and tell him how she feels (even though, as Gwen lampshades, he already knows how she feels). It’s all a bunch of time-killing, really, until the episode’s fairly unearned final twist: Jay returns from the unsuccessful attempt to acquire a hot tub with a potential girlfriend as he takes the hot tub lady’s granddaughter out on a date. But it’s awfully thin, the gags aren’t really there, and without stronger material, Ashley Aufderheide tends to default to a kind of exclamatory, kid-actor-y performance style that needs more time to really work up a meaningful contrast with the more Zendaya/Ghost World style of Sam Morelos. In an episode full of contrivances, the show actually spins something kind of sweet from the fact that Leia never confesses to her mom that she was just covering for her friend. Instead, she admits that sex was on her mind, at least in the abstract sense of feeling jealousy over Jay’s tight t-shirt and its proximity to his body — but that she’s nowhere near that particular step in their not-really-relationship yet. Ozzie is straightforward about his sexuality among his friends but has a multi-step coming out plan to ease his way into the rest of the world.

Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis) had off-and-on relationships with Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) and Steven Hyde throughout the majority of That '70s Show, but in ...

The couple’s son adds another layer of complexity to Jackie and Kelso’s relationship in That ‘90s Show. [That ‘90s Show, Jackie and Kelso’s son Jay](https://screenrant.com/that-90s-show-jay-kelso-donna-casey-70s-callback/) can drive, suggesting he’s about 16 years old in 1995. Shortly after That ‘70s Show’s ending, Fez caught Jackie on the phone with Kelso, with Jackie then heading back to Wisconsin to be with him. Seemingly undoing the personal progress that Jackie had made in That ‘70s Show season 8, her quick breakup with Fez didn’t seem to make much sense, with Mila Kunis stating as much in an interview with [Access Hollywood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6SbXYozum0&t=1s). [Jackie is married to Michael Kelso](https://screenrant.com/that-90s-show-jackie-kelso-70s-eric-dream-predict/) in the spinoff. Fez and Jackie were still together when That ‘70s Show’s series finale flipped over to New Year’s Day 1980, which is why it was so surprising that she was revealed to be married to a different character in That ‘90s Show.

Viewers of Netflix's That '90s show have been sharing their nostalgic reactions to a Jackie and Michael scene in the reboot show.

Jackie and Michael explain they're getting remarried for the second time and we get one last "damn, Jackie" before they leave. In the original series they were just teenagers, but now they've returned as adults and parents to Jay, Leia's love interest. One cameo appearance that everyone online (us very much included) has been obsessed with, is Ashton Kutcher and Unsurprisingly Red is not happy to see Michael.

Posted Jan. 19, 2023, 10:01 a.m.. That '90s Show is now streaming on Netflix. In the age of reboots, revivals, and sequels ...

Netflix’s That ‘90s Show is a blast from the past of the ‘90s and of memories from That ‘70s Show. With funny moments filled with nostalgia, That ‘90s Show is charming and has a lot of potential. But that is putting too much weight on the older cast members when the show should focus on the kids of the present day – or in this case, the kids of the ‘90s. Fans of That ‘70s Show can expect many inside gags and Easter eggs, with the pilot episode especially completely stuffed with references.

"I think she'll kind of move out of her comfort zone with the things that Gwen taught her and we'll probably see her come back as a more confident person as more like, sure of herself.

How did “That 90s Show” handle the lack of Hyde? See how the new Netflix sitcom navigated the plot in the absence of 'That 70s Show' star Danny Masterson.

Leia Forman (Callie Haverda) is the daughter of Eric and Donna, who were sweethearts on “That '70s Show” and now married. In “That '90s Show,” she decides to stay with her grandparents after connecting with other teens in the Point Pleasant, Wis. Her character is the rebel, a ‘90s Riot Grrl who lives next door to Leia’s grandparents and delivers blunt one-liners. The new series handled his absence by simply not mentioning him at all. Masterson pleaded not guilty to all three charges and declined to testify.

Kitty has ditched the owl décor in her kitchen (save for two small owls on a shelf), opting for a new ’90s design that’s heavy on pale yellow, flowers and roosters. The original characters carry forward many of their quirky characteristics — Red is still a grump, Kitty maintains her wide-eye innocence and funny giggle, Kelso is still a lovable idiot and Fez is still leaning into his slightly problematic-but-well-intentioned ways. Jackie left the resort to go back and be with Kelso, but Fez remained until the resort kicked him out “for talking too much in the hot tub.” Fans of the first series will remember that Jackie ended up with Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), so it comes as a bit of a surprise to find Kelso and Jackie back together. One of those friends, audiences soon learn, is none other than Jay Kelso, the son of original characters Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) and Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis). That’s right — Eric is still a huge Star Wars fan and has named his daughter after one of the franchise’s main characters.

[Laura Prepon](https://people.com/tag/laura-prepon)) as she visits her grandparents in Wisconsin. In October 2021, Netflix announced that they picked up a sequel series of That '70s Show. Elaborating on the traditions, Donovan said, "One that we do now every time before a live taping is we all put our hands together and on the count of three, we shout our favorite line from the episode and raise our hands up. And apparently that was a tradition that they did for all eight seasons of '70s Show. And they would come up and be like, 'Hi, I'm Mila,' 'hi, I'm Ashton.' I was just like, 'I know. I had a scene with him and then in-between takes, first we'd talk about music, and well, just life, but then he'd be like, 'Don't forget to stay grounded throughout the whole process and know where you came from and that's really important.'" I mean, they would come to set and I was always just so blown away by how down earth they all were. "Something that I admired a lot about the original is their chemistry," Aufderheide explained. Aufderheide, 17, recalled how Valderrama, 42, told her, "I just need to stay authentic to who I am. "I talked to Wilmer [Valderrama] a lot. "I remember the very first day, actually, Debra Jo and Topher sat down to lunch with us and just talked to us for two hours, about '70s Show traditions they had behind the scenes and sort of brought us in on that.
