The biggest question I have is, where’s Betsy Kelso? They don’t even bring up the fact that Michael’s oldest daughter exists. They just swept her under the rug like they did Donna’s little sister.

[burqawaliaunty]

Gwen is excellent, Leia has a lot of potential & Kelso has potential. What I liked was that they kept the formatting of the original (love the into & the little clips in between scenes) & the old cast is obviously fantastic. I agree that the other kids aren’t exactly hitting, but I’m going to give it a chance. I think they’ll grow into the roles. Also agree that they didn’t capture the 90s as good as they could have. Ozzy being gay could have been really cool with how secretive he would have needed to be in the 90s. Missed a huge chance there for not just comedic scenes, but sentimental ones too. Could have had it to where he only told Leia and done a lot with only one of them knowing.

It would have made so much more sense to set this in '97 or '98 with the kids having been 15 then, thus being born in '82 or '83. Or they could have had the kids be 13 or 14 in 1995 instead of 15 & 16, thus also being born in '82 or '83. That would have given the two couples more of a reasonable timeline to procreate.

Nobody noticed that Eric turned 17 at the begining of the That '70s Show and 18 at the begining of the 6th season? Age wasn't always something the writers cared about.

I doubt that Donna would have gotten pregnant so soon after Eric came home in the series finale. They would have needed more time to rebuild their relationship. Also we're led to believe that Jackie after New Years Day 1980 decided against being in a relationship with Fez and went back with Kelso and then got pregnant with his son around the same time Donna got pregnant? Hmm it's rather a stretch, not implausible but the timeline for this is definitely off.

There's a hole in the story story about Jackie. In season 1 of That 70's Show, Jackie was younger than all of the other friends. She was only like a freshman or a 10th grader. And even in the flashbacks memories they show Jackie as a littler girl than Michael when she says that she loved him. But at the end of the season they were taking a class pictures together and they had presumably all finished high school together, however Jackie would have been one or two years younger according to the first season.

The first episode of That 90’s Show has a nostalgic intro from both Kitty and Red before Eric knocks at their front door. It appears as though he’s been away for quite some time and now works at a university as an adjunct professor teaching a “Religion of Star Wars” course. After his hugs and hellos, Donna walks in with a bunch of their belongings and gives a funny jab at Eric for essentially not helping unload the car, which Eric doesn’t seem to pay much attention to. It’s in this moment you may start to think this show has a chance of being good.

You meet the main character Leia, who is the daughter of Eric and Donna. She appears to have the facial features of Donna and the skinny, alien-like bone structure of her father Eric. It’s also hilarious to know Eric managed to talk Donna into naming their first child after a Star Wars character. Speaking of Star Wars, Eric still hasn’t given up his love for it. Aside from teaching Star Wars at a university, he also attempts to use the wisdom of those movies to influence his daughter throughout her entire life, which she obviously can’t stand.

Leia finds herself early in the episode walking around outside of her grandparent’s home before hearing the neighbor girl across the street, Gwen Runck. Gwen is listening to music and screaming the lyrics before turning to the window and seeing Leia standing there, looking at her. They have a short interaction that has you wondering if these two are going to be romantic lovers or best friends throughout the series. After a while, I’m to believe they’re just going to be friends, but I’ll let you decide for yourself.

The majority of the episode has Leia interacting with different kids from the area, only to find out that some of them have relations to characters from That 70’s Show. I enjoyed every interaction from the new and past characters in this episode and appreciated how all of the new kids on the show resemble those legendary characters in some way. I was a bit confused when seeing Nate, though. He gave off Kelso vibes, but you later find out something important that I won’t spoil. What I’m referencing has me to believe that there are many similarities with the characters, but this show also attempts to be its own thing.

Leia enjoys spending time with everyone and even starts to catch feelings for another. This has her wanting to stay in Point Place for the summer, rather than just for a day or two. Eric and Donna allow for her to stay with Kitty and Red and say their goodbyes at the end of the episode. You also get a little idea of what the kids are capable of, as they manage to throw a keg party and even find the old Candyland marijuana “stash” that was hidden away at the end of That 70’s Show.

Overall, the episode is entertaining and gives off the proper amount of nostalgia that’ll have you wanting more. The only gripe that I have with the pilot episode of That 90’s Show is how Donna feels like such a secondary character. From the beginning where Eric ignores her as she walks in with all the suit cases, to her lack of input into her daughter’s life over X amount of time, to even how she says goodbye to Leia at the end of the episode. I can’t tell if she’s scripted to be like that, or if Laura Prepon just doesn’t want to be there.

The nostalgia factor plays a big role here, so if you're watching as a fan of the original That 70's show you can add plus one star for that nostalgia factor. Otherwise the show, doesn't utilize enough of the 90's besides some stereotypical references which are thrown here and there. Honestly, it could be set in any era, but it just happens to be called The 90's show. The old familiar of reoccurring characters and especially being set in what looks like the original house of the Foreman's from the original including the living room, the kitchen, basement and the front yard is mind blowing. I find myself just wondering how were they able to preserve so much of the original set pieces or they just paid great attention to details. Unfortunately that's where the awe ends, since the dialogs, screenplay, storylines and jokes are really bland with few exceptions. As I said at the beginning, the nostalgia factor holds this together, but it doesn't get out of the shadow of the original. Potential is there though.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Binged it in less than 24 hours. The kids aren't annoying at all and the show isn't a woke-fest as many Netflix shows can be. In fact, there is an authentic old-fashioned feel to it. The writing and the comedy are not yet up there with That '70s show, but I would love to see 2–3 seasons more at least and see if things can go from solid to great.

I know that the show needs to stand on its own, but I really wish the original cast would make in more frequent appearances. Miss that cast so much!

[legzfalloffgirl]

I just wanted to point out, Michael Celso had a daughter with another girl in that 70s show. Where is she?

[waqarmasood]

A brave move to reboot a classic show, but I think it’s working out well. As the first few episodes ticked by, the new teen actors characters have started to work some magic in their parts which happened so effortlessly in the original That 70s Show. The glue held in the pilot of That 90s Show thanks to the appearances of most of the original cast and of course Kitty and Red. The ever suffering emphatic Red and the loving, mothering Kitty gel perfectly with the new teen group too. A pity Danny Masterton’s character Steven Hyde (who reminded me of Jeff Lynne from ELO) is not a part of the sequel only for obvious reasons. Maybe they could have written in say Hyde’s daughter or son into the group, but I think this show can only get better and become as successful as the original series - so I do hope the producers give it a chance to allow future seasons to blossom into a classic set.

That '70s Show was infamous for plot holes...like these never ending years where they Christmas multiple times in the "same year, " Donna's sister who appeared for an episode...the actors aging way faster than their characters were supposed to. I certainly noticed these things in That '90s Show, but I think that they had to mess with the time line for the sake of the show (like usual). Leia's birthday is better celebrated before the very end of summer, and making Eric and Donna slightly older works better since the actors are hard to pass for their mid 30s. These inconsistencies were the only way to set the show as early as the mid-90s, and honestly, the feel for the decade began to wane by the end of it. I also think that they are planning to go for more seasons and don't want to make the "forever in the same year" mistake again.

[faycoleman]

I was confused too! It doesn't make sense. For Jay to be 16 Jackie would ha ve had to gotten pregnant with him in 1979 unless she also had him early. Even then, Kelso had moved to Chicago in the previous season right? So some time during 1978ish or early 1979 max. If they are all suppose to be 16ish in the 90's Jackie and Donna would have had to be pregnant right after the show ended if not before. Jackie at least dated Fez long enough for them to go on a couples trip together. (My guess a few months) that would mean Fez has a high chance of being Jay's Dad. I also don't see Donna getting pregnant then immediately marrying Eric.

[voodoocustompickups]

I said this after hearing that Leia was 15. Donna wasn't with Eric then. And also Jay is older than her but Kelso wasn't with Jackie in 1979.

[YSLFLACKO]

Don’t bring back a show that was set during the time when everyone was less sensitive, the whole show feels so PC and it won’t be able to have the same magic the original show has.

[Jessica_]

Thank you for pointing these out. I thought I was the only one that noticed them.

[ashsvanlife]

Omg how did you know i missed this…!?😮

[Mrmoviefan]

The day That 90's show begins, July 3rd 1995, was Red's actor Kurtwood Smith's 52nd birthday.

[kennethlee]

This seems to be an easy fix, I believe that it has not been said on screen that it is 1995. It would be an easy fix to place it in 1997, 20 years after the beginning of That 70's Show.

[annie-zwyl]

I don’t nit pick, I am just grateful and enjoying this 90s show so much ❤
