“That ‘90s Show” is the equivalent of a great throwback burger joint with a short menu. The food might have a familiar taste, but it finds an efficient way to overdeliver on the basic expectations.
Offering precisely what its title promises and building on the legacy of a Y2K era sitcom that looked back in order to appear fresh and cool, That ’90s Show is nothing new. That’s not so much a knock against it as an accurate assessment of its reason for being.

That ‘90s Show did just enough to let us drop back into this world for a summer of fun, and here’s hoping there’s another summer or two to come down the line.
That ’90s Show is milder than a Milwaukee cheddar, built to be watched while scrolling on your phone, but from the moment Leia takes her father’s place, yelling out “Hello Wisconsin!” in the opening titles, the lure of generations past might just drag you in.
As an outgrowth of this fad [revivals], the series falls somewhere in the middle of the pack. While there’s a chance we’ll want to hang out in the basement with this gang in the future, we’d rather hang out with Red and Kitty upstairs for now.
There will certainly be giggles. But there’s no longer any wink necessary between the show and its audience. There are also considerably coarser references to sex and basic biology now, which seem to arrive at moments when a writer has run out of wit. ... Unfortunately, “That ’90s Show” much of the time suffers from a sensibility that suggests Disney Channel tween comedies of the early 2000s, programs that never made much of an effort, perhaps because they had a captive audience.
The idea of the new series is essentially to recreate every single dynamic of the original, just with new young actors playing new teen characters. It doesn’t work. .... The whole thing reeks of a crass ploy by Netflix to capitalize on nostalgia, while missing entirely what it was about That ’70s Show that made it good or worth revisiting in the first place.
Anyone bashing this didn’t watch That 70s Show… The Acting was not Oscar worthy then either… The show captures the energy of the original and leaves so much room for note for a season 2. Hopefully prime stay with this so we actually get a season 2!

SEASON 1
Pale imitation of the original carried by cameos. Love Kitty and Red, but the new kids are vapid recreations of the originals, and they simply don't resonate. The daughter and neighbor are fine, but their friends are boring ripoff of the old show. I really thought Foreman's daughter and the neighbor would turn out ****, given the current trend of shoehorning that into everything, but was pleasantly surprised they weren't (it may be the 90s but that was still a big thing for a comedy show). No, the little Asian kid is ****, buy they made him so bitter and unlikeable, the opportunity is wasted. Shame, as the kids needed to be the focus, and they are overshadowed by the adults, unlike the original.

SEASON 1
Obviamente tiene que tener un valor de producción por el simple hecho de traer muchos personajes de vuelta, por nostalgia, y conservar la escenografía por tributo y porque es una secuela directa de la anterior... pero en el contexto actual con la cultura despierta y de la cancelación, el humor no puede ser mas que insulso y por encima de todo aburrido, soso y forzado, talvez algun dia, pueda volver haber series entretenidas

SEASON 1
It was kinda boring, nothing like the original. I kept watching it, waiting for it to get better, but it never did. I liked the Leia Forman and Gwen, but the other actors were lacking something. The group in general lacked the charisma of the original.
It was not worth watching.
