Jumping in to say that "Jagged Little Pill" dropped on *JUNE 15, 1995*

"You Oughta Know" was released on July 6 as a single.

This type of nitpicking is the reason why the Goldbergs always just simply say, "It was 1980 something".

[tashaw]

for me - it is the fashion. Why couldn't the costume dresser just go thrifty bc the clothing quality looks modern and put together.

It's not bad but the Disney theatrical acting from the kids, especially Ozzie, kills it for me

[stevenogle]

Getting the era of the 90s accurate takes a backseat for the nostalgia of that 70s and it shows.

[crispycaptures]

These kid actors act way too Gen Z for it to be the 90s :(

[mamamoma]

My problem with That ‘90s show is that it doesn’t feel like ’90s.

Also, when a gay teenager came out in the 90s, people were NOT as cool. I mean, I wish they were, but they were not.

[jankajonasart]

A '90s kid would have known better than to shake a CD player around like that. No way she was hearing any of the song at that point.

This is great. If watchmojo hasn’t done one yet can you do “80s things that Stranger Things got wrong”?

[SquigSoup]

It shouldn't have been that hard to do correct set dressing for a show set in the 1990s. Lots of us were there--and you can obviously to still find the commercials with original packaging!

[Chtsht]

What bothered me more is how they portrayed weed high. You don’t hallucinate like that. Lol That 70’s Show moving background is more accurate(closer to drinking).

[williampetteruto]

My biggest issue was Leia's age. That 70s show ended as they entered 1980. Unless Donna was pregnant when the show ended, there's no way Leia is turning 15. And if Donna was pregnant early enough to have a baby in August of 1980, then Eric can't be the father.

An openly gay teen is just not realistic in the 90s

[deathdude]

The guys calling each other "bro". Pretty sure nobody (that I knew of, anyway) was using that term for their friends in the 90's.

[billmarshall]

The hairstyles are way off. It wasn't even close to how we wore our hair.

[riotoews]

Yeah I didnt think Alannis was considered a riot gurl to me. She was more along the lines of grunge era

[hahna]

You want to see a more accurate depiction of the 90's? Watch Married With Children & My So Called Life. This show doesn't even come remotely close.

[Interceptor]

the whole timeline of the show is incredibly inconsistent too

[tarik]

For me they got almost everything wrong about the 1990s from the clothing to the way kids back than talked. Not to mention all the visual inaccuracies like Doritos bags and Pringles packaging not looking the way they did back in 1995, movies on the shelves which came out AFTER 1995, cultural references from the late 1990s, the list goes on. The whole show was just lazy writing after lazy writing. It just wasn't believable, you could tell the show was written by people who weren't kids in the 1990s and have no idea what it was like to be a kid in that era.
