That '70s Show is one of my all-time favorites. I've seen it so many times that I basically have it memorized. I still watch it to this day. It was super edgy, boundary-pushing, and most importantly, hilarious.
That '90s Show is trying to capture the same formula, but without any sort of edge. The humor is multiple steps down. I laughed a few times per episode. And with only 10 episodes, they rush through a bunch of unearned and unnecessary drama.
It's not all bad and I did find some enjoyment from it. I think they once again did a great job with the casting, especially the lead. I think she could carry the show in the same way Topher Grace did... if it was better. I like most of the characters with my favorite being the dumb one (brella. Rofl).
But the worst part for me was two characters I could not stand. The lesser is the annoying neighbor lady. She seems to be analogous to Bob and Midge, the ones who would interact with Kitty and Red. But that character doesn't hold a candle to the hilarious Pinciotti's.
The character Ozzie has to be one of the worst and most annoying characters I can remember. All he does is give sassy and sarcastic one-liners. Every one of them made me cringe or roll my eyes. EVERY ONE. This is the lowest form of comedy writing.
It's probably just nostalgia, but I may check out a second season and hope that they can do better. Funnier jokes, more edge, and not so Netflixified (meaning general low quality all around). (1 viewing, 1/26/2023)
