Revisiting the Past: How The “That ’90s Show” Reboot is Faring

That '90s Show

As part of a growing trend where people want to see reboots of their favorite shows happen, That ’70s Show was reimagined into a new show called That ’90s Show last year. The original series ran from 1998 to 2006 and enthralled viewers with the hilarious perspective of being a teenager in the ’70s. People were curious whether this reboot could translate that same perspective to the ’90s. They hoped it would live up to the original series, so it’s worth looking into how That ’90s Show is doing.

The Premise And Cast

The Netflix original series That ’90s Show takes viewers back to the ’90s through fashion, music, and the start of the World Wide Web. Taking place in 1995, the show follows Leia Forman, the teenage daughter of Eric and Donna, who is on summer break visiting her grandparents’ home in Point Place, Wisconsin. Like the original series, the reboot follows a group of friends who encounter issues any teenager may have.

This Netflix reboot includes some of the members of the original cast, including Topher Grace as Eric Forman, Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart, and Ashton Kutcher as Kelso, who appear throughout the series. Their appearances appeal to the older generation who watched That ’70s Show as it was coming out and help connect the reboot to the original show.

New Faces And Fresh Dynamics

Netflix is creating plenty of new shows, but also rebooting older ones as well. It’s great to see that this reboot is focusing on young actors playing new actors, like Callie Haverda playing Leia Forman and Mace Coronel playing Jay Kelso, son of Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso. At the same time, That ’90s Show has enough ties to the past to maintain the enthusiasm people had for the original series.

Viewer Reactions And Critical Reception

That ’90s Show has received mixed reviews among viewers and critics. Reactions to the reboot on social media are diverse. Some viewers expected to find familiar characters and actors throughout the show and are happy to see the homages to the original series. Some are more skeptical; they are only looking for the reboot to be just as good as the original. Others have praised the show for making them feel emotions without it being forced.

Some cites the show’s appeal to nostalgia, both for the ’90s and the original show, as one of its strengths. That ’90s Show provides a great blast to the past when things were simpler. The new cast and stories grounded in the 90s atmosphere have helped attracted younger viewers, while the ties to the older show have brought back older viewers. Attracting both the younger and older generations has helped the show reach a wider audience.

This reboot still receives its fair share of criticism. Some critics express that the reboot lacks a personality of its own and relies too heavily on That ’70s Show. They say that that the new show isn’t showing the creativity that made the original series popular to begin with and is instead retelling the previous show a bit too much.

Final Thoughts

That ’90s Show is a great example of how shows can be appealing by focusing on nostalgia. The reboot may not be as amazing as the original, but it can still be entertaining to jump into it. Reboots like That ’90s Show prove that it can be done and viewers can like something based on an original show and still enjoy it.
