Very disappointed. It seems that fear dominates hollywood comedy writers rather than the fun bone!
Not edgy at all, not realistic even! These are not kids from the 90s. They think it's the 90s just because they show the mall and blockbusters every once in a while... The gay kid is accepted by all with no conflict, and it was not that way back then. There were real struggles.
These are stereotypes of nowadays (2020s) teenagers with colorful clothes, that's all.
The old actors do a good job, but since it is about the kids rather than getting few laughs from the fans of That's 70s Show, it is very disappointing.
These writers dare not write comedy anymore: shameful display.

First episode done. The original cast really does make the show. The jokes delivered are funny. When they switch to the young cast I thought "this feels really Disney channel humor." Just where everyone is a complete dummy and overacting to a 13. And how can you do two dumb jocks that can barely function?
I hope the characters find their groove and chill out a little. I have so much hope for this show. We need actual story lines too. Not just ridiculous over acting.
One more time- holy the old cast is so good. It has such potential to really come together. Don't cancel this show. It can work.

Well today I binge watched the whole first series and I thought it was okay and yes just okay.
Being a big fan of the original series I thought I would give this series a serious go and watch the whole first season before embarking on a review.
A lot of the stories have come from the original series such as the first episode was about a keg which was done in the original series, there are many more points that you will notice this throughout the new show.
Now seeing the original cast in this series was a blessing in disguise because if it wasn't for them this show would dive right down the toilet.
The new cast are okay but the acting feels very much forced and it seems as if they're trying to hard to get laughs, which is a letdown.
It's great to see an old cast member in practically every episode and this helps the show.
When it comes down to it if it wasn't for the original cast this show would bomb. They make it. Maybe they should have made a new series with just the original cast in it, who knows, will I watch another season? Only if the original cast are in it.
Watch this for the original cast, they make it.

If it wasn't for the original cast cameos it wouldn't be worth watching. There are some good jokes from the new cast but they don't have that same connection that the original cast had. It seems like they're all still learning. The originals first season also felt that way but you could tell there was something there I don't feel that this new cast has that it factor.
Debra and Kurtwood are still on their A game and they somehow look and seem younger than in the original. Idk what they've been doing the past 20 years but they need to spill the beans because whatever it was it worked. It's definitely worth a watch tho.

Well it wasn't actually bad. But sadly it survived only with the help of the old cast, without them it would of been quite a disappointment.
The new cast of kids was not really that bad, but it was not good either. The main character was bland and unfunny as a bag of stones. The needed character to be politically correct seemed to be from the future not from the '90s. And now we basicly have two Kelsos - one good looking and one that plays football or something. I didn't really get the point of the footballers girlfriend, why is she even there?
But the biggest problem I had with the show, was the really confusing and strange '90s world they made up. In 1995 I was 15 just like these kids are and I can't recognize this version of the time. It's just not right at all.

- TriviaAshton Kutcher later stated that he originally turned down the cameo offer in the first episode, but then his wife and fellow original series alumnus Mila Kunis highly encouraged him, saying "Y'know we owe our entire careers to this show, it doesn't matter what the script is, we're doing it" and they both did their cameos.
- GoofsSeveral trailers for season 2 feature the song, "My Own Worst Enemy", by Lit. The song was released in 1999, but season 2 is set in 1996.
