That '90s Show

Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) take their daughter to visit Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith) in the series premiere of this ...

But That ’70s Show follows the characters for three years and change, and they’re somewhere around 20 at the end of the series, not the beginning. The point is that this might be less of an issue had That ’70s Show run for a nice, reasonable five seasons instead of getting the vintage Fox treatment, which back in the ’90s and 2000s dictated that promising new shows be canceled swiftly and mercilessly, while any hits run for as close to a decade as possible even if their cast members lost interest. • That said, one of the best moments comes from the revival of the circle-cam format that was the original series’ signature. But That ’90s Show mostly wants to provide a comfort watch, extending a nostalgia chain that now reaches back over half a century: It throws back to the ’90s airings of a ’70s-set show that felt like a sorta-modern, sorta-not take on a ’70s-aired show about the ’50s. During the trip, she meets Gwen (Ashley Aufderheide), a cool riot-grrrl type who lives in Donna’s old house next door, and Leia decides — in a flush of excitement that feels like half-friend-crush and half-crush-crush — that she wants to stick around for the whole summer. Leia is in Point Place for a memorable summer (it’s a little surprising that no one makes a reference to that Saved By the Bell Malibu Sands season). Gwen follows in Donna’s “cool girl next door” footsteps, while the sardonic Ozzie (Reyn Doi) has an outsider status reminiscent of that of Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), not so much because he’s Asian American but because he’s gay — openly to his friends and more cautiously to less perceptive adults. That ’90s Show is the sequel series to That ’70s Show, a sitcom that does admittedly feel like a good candidate for a quarter-century-later revival. Real-life couple Kutcher and Kunis play their walk-on in the pilot as Kelso and Jackie on their way to their second remarriage. The original series began during the twilight of the sitcom gods, premiering a few months after Seinfeld left the air and limping along a couple of years past the end of Friends. The show’s “youth culture MTV meets ABC” sensibility allowed That ’70s Show to exist largely out of time despite its title. Yes, the creators may admit, remakes and reboots and long-gap sequels are often by turns shameless, dispiriting, or otherwise not quite right — especially when they’re competing with a hundred or two episodes that have looped for ages in syndication.

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.

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.

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.)

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?”).

'That '90s Show' attempts to recapture That '70s Show's winning mix of dry humor, parody, and slapstick, and mostly succeeds.

But what really solidifies That ’90s Show as good television is its cast of newcomers, who quickly earn their spots on that legendary—and, by now, moth-eaten—basement couch. It’s tough not to share in Red’s fleeting pleasure as he enjoys a new massage chair, or revel in his petty rivalry with Bob Pinciotti (Don Stark) as they both try to out-grandpa each other on Leia’s 15th birthday. A sitcom is often only as endearing as its characters, and That ’70s Show was driven almost entirely by the ensemble play between Eric, Jackie, Kelso, Hyde, Donna, and Fez.

Ah the '90s. The era of off-beat, eclectic fashion, Tamagotchis and the CD walkman. It was a special time and we get to relive it all again in the That '70s ...

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?

Episode 2 of That '90s Show starts with Leia debating about smoking weed with her friends. Ozzie is out of the picture and does not want anything to do with ...

Leia claims that she feels like an outsider and wants to feel more like one with the group which is why she did not have them watch her favourite dorky movie. Leia decides to show her friends her favourite movie and her friends start getting emotional as the movie comes to an end. The chaotic conversation ends with Leia and Kitty convincing him to give the movie to them. Kitty and Leia meet the man renting the movie and it turns out to be Leo, Eric’s older friend who has gotten even older now. Leia takes the guy’s address and convinces her grandmother to go see the man in order to get the movie DVD from him. Since the is a single mother who moved in with her two kids in Donna’s old house, she introduces herself to Kitty and Red.

Leia is much more confident about herself and goes on to kiss the ice cream stall guy without his consent. Red claims that Fez is weird and needed to think before taking responsibility for a woman who has two teenage kids. That evening, Leia and Jay are sitting outside when she tries to get him to kiss her. Leia and Ozzie spot Gwen making out with a guy named Kevin and Leia is further upset about her failure. In the basement, Nate and Nikki are making out in the presence of Leia and the others. Episode 3 of That ’90s Show starts at the Forman House dinner table where Kitty asks Sherri about her breakup with ‘the guy’ not knowing that the guy is Fez.

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.

Directed by Gail Mancuso and Laura Prepon, "That '90s Show" is a reboot/spinoff of the popular American sitcom "That '70s Show." The biggest drawback that ...

Nikki assured him that though she was not a soothsayer, and she couldn’t predict what would happen in the future, she could definitely tell him that she loved him and that she had no plans of leaving him. When Fez realized that Sherri had two children, he also felt like he had dodged a bullet and decided that it was better for him to part ways. It was really hard for Eric to show that kind of maturity as he was really possessive of Leia, but Donna made him understand that Leia was at a very rebellious age, and she had the right to make her own mistakes just like they did. Jay, too, was skeptical about being in a long-distance relationship with Leia, though he hadn’t told her that he had already made up his mind to break up with her. He felt that he was easily replaceable in Nikki’s life and that she might lose interest in him if she ever met someone else. Leia had decided that she would stay with her grandparents for the summer vacation, and though Eric didn’t want to leave her behind, he realized that it was about time he started to respect her decisions and, sometimes, just let her be. Leia was the kind of girl who was always trying to fit in, and she felt pressured to do so because all her life, she was never accepted for who she was. When Leia came to spend the Fourth of July at her grandparents’ place, Red and Kitty’s, she didn’t know that she would make such good friends and create a lifetime of memories. Leia ended up inviting both of them to her 15th birthday party, though her friends told her that it would unnecessarily make the situation complicated. Now we know that even “That ’70s show” had a sense of humor that was a bit over the top, but maybe because of the time it was released or because of the freshness of the idea, it was able to pull it off. Eric wanted to take his daughter to Huntsville, Alabama, for a space camp, but the grandparents realized that she was not interested in going there. Eric didn’t understand that, and he had a hard time accepting the fact that his daughter was growing up and her priorities in life were not the same as they were before.

[January 19, 2023] Even before the show premiered, there had been a lot of chatter on Twitter about That ’90s Show. We will be getting lots of Red and Kitty moments in the spin-off as both of Smith and Jo Rupp are series regulars. The most obvious ones are the two we all saw in the trailer, Red and Kitty Forman, played so wonderfully by Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp. So as you binge-watch the new Netflix spin-off, get ready to be overwhelmed with lots of laughter and a heavy dose of nostalgia. Netflix finally released the much-awaited spin-off series That ’90s Show on 19 January 2023.

If Leia travels back to Wisconsin for another summer, we can expect to see her reunite with the friends she left behind. That '90s Show stars Callie Haverda as Leia Forman. The new sitcom is a spinoff of the iconic [That '70s Show](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a42559627/that-70s-show-recap-that-90s-show/), introducing us to another generation of basement-dwelling teenagers. We won’t spoil too much—but the potential romance could cause some major damage to their friend group going forward. During her trip, she meets a new group of kids and embarks on a journey of her own.

Episode 1 of That '90s show starts with Red and Kitty in their house when their son Eric comes to his childhood home to celebrate the fourth of July weekend ...

Kitty is getting ready to go to the store to stock up on snacks for the new set of kids while Red is shocked to see that Leia is hanging out with a guy named Jay Kelso. The plot and setting of this one are interesting but it seems like the concept of having a show with a laugh track is very inauthentic in today’s day and age. Later that evening, Donna convinces Eric to let Leia stay back for the summer. Just then, Jackie arrives and states that she and Michael are getting remarried for the second time. Donna leaves after calling Kitty ‘Mom’ and the old woman takes that as a win for her. In Gwen’s basement, the six friends are trying to figure out a way to get a keg tap from the convenience store and they pick the new girl, Leia to buy one. Everyone except Eric is happy about Leia staying with her grandparents for the summer. Upstairs, Donna and Eric are trying to come to terms with the fact that they have become adults and are the ‘upstairs people’ now. Leia disguises herself as a pregnant woman to get the keg tap but her cover is blown. She goes back home and tells her family that she won’t be going back home with Eric and Donna. Red jokes that Eric is now in the same place that he used to be in. Nate tells the group that they had accidentally picked up a keg full of beer for free.

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.

Where is Steven Hyde? Here's how 'That '90s Show' handles Danny Masterson's character after the actor was charged in 2020 with forcibly raping three women ...

[The rape trial in Los Angeles ended in a mistrial in November 2022](https://ew.com/celebrity/danny-mastersons-rape-trial-ends-in-a-mistrial/) after jurors said they couldn't reach a consensus.

All your fave characters like Fez, Kelso, Jackie, Donna and Eric appear throughout the series, but one specific character from the main cast of That 70's Show ...

[ Ashton Kutcher](https://stylecaster.com/mila-kunis-ashton-kutcher-penis/) who starred with Masterson in The Ranch, did not comment on Masterson’s dismissal of the show 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 to He told Us Weekly at the time “I will beat her in court— and look forward to it because the public will finally be able to learn the truth and see how I’ve been railroaded by this woman.” Why is Hyde not in That 90’s Show? I am also so thankful to the fans that have supported me and continue to do so,” he added. Topher Grace who plays Eric Foreman in both That 70s Show and That 90s Show commented on his former co-star’s allegations in 2018. Netflix nor the original cast members of That 70’s Show have commented on Hyde’s absence in the new series. “[Monday] was his last day on the show, and production will resume in early 2018 without him.” “I asked her to do the right thing by these girls, and I told her that the world is watching.” Masterson’s rep issued a statement to Us Weekly denying all claims of sexual assault that same month. The actor was accused in March 2017, while he was starring in Netflix’s The Ranch, along with fellow That 70’s Show alum Ashton Kutcher. The next set of dates for the actor will be held in March 2023. However, one member of the old crew is never mentioned or seen, even in an old flashback.
