I like That '70s Show because it was an innocent series, maintained consistent quality for a long time, and took place in a different era than when it was filmed. Nostalgia for the old days sold well, and after enough time had passed the idea of continuing with a new generation struck me as a good one. But appearances are deceiving: 90's Show ultimately loses in every aspect compared to its predecessor. It wants to be exactly the same. Or even better – it completely plagiarizes the original series in everything. It takes place in the same locations, revives or revamps forgotten storylines, and Nate and Nikki are a weak version of Kelso and Jackie. What's not the same, and what led to a disaster in the ratings, is the chemistry between the actors. More than ever, I realize how perfectly they managed to find actors for Eric or Michael, because there is no one like that in store this time. Or rather, there is: in double. Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp function as two loving opposites this time as well, but the script gives them too much space, and considering Red and Kitty's age, these types of issues clash unpleasantly with the adolescent series of troubles of young Lei. I don't see any other positives in the series after its first season. And no, even the episodic appearances of familiar faces don't help. In most cases, they do a disservice to beloved characters and turn them into caricatures of themselves (Fez) or their actors (especially Laura Prepon) appear tired, as if they wanted to leave this fandom behind for good.
