Thanks for the article and the trailer. Very informative about how it all came together and the basic format of the new show - it kind of gets me a bit excited.
I’ve been looking forward to it. It’s a shame the actors playing Laurie and Midge have passed away. I think the original kids will only be making cameos, though. Anyone hear if Bob will be making an appearance?
I wonder if Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher will appear together in any episodes? Last I heard, Grace was jealous about Kutcher's growing popularity during the original show. (Grace's disinterest was palpable his last season or two.)
Darn. I didn't crack a smile during any part of that trailer until only the very last scene with the original characters.
I will watch an episode just to see Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith as Red and Kitty again. They made the original show for me. And it’s great that they got Bob back for an episode, too.
A trailer for "That 90's Show" debuting Jan. 19 on Netflix starring Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp reprising their roles as Red and Kitty Forman except now with grandkids. Judging from this trailer, I'm not impressed with the new characters, the grandkids - looks like any typical modern sitcom in their scenes, but seeing Red, Kitty and a few other originals in guest appearances should be fun.
Yep. It looks absolutely awful. The granddaughter is especially horrendous with no comedic chops whatsoever. They tried it without Topher Grace, they tried it with that short-lived That 80s Show and now they trying it again by copying nearly everything about the original. It will fail hard and won't last long regardless of the return of 2 good characters. It's a charmless endeavor.
terrible, they obviously make money off one more squeeze or they wouldn't bother, but has there really EVER been a good reboot???
The trailer does look bad. The new cast seems light on chemistry and talent. Even the "dumb ass" and "foot in the ass" jokes sounded trite and under thought. You actually have to have talent in order to be so talentless that you make Red Forman unfunny. Grumpy isn't enough. You need the wit, sarcasm, and total lack of any filter.
That looks awful. I liked That 70s Show…at least the first few years. And Red & Kitty were always hilarious. But this looks really bad.
I watched some of the first episode. I couldn't get into it at all. But I was impressed by how Topher could almost still play a teenager. He looks great.
The AV Club posted this recently and the commentariat was divided about whether the press release deliberately avoided mentioning the Hyde character.
