That 90’s Show - Netflix sequel series to That 70’s Show

I've watched a couple episodes. First thing I notice is naive, awkward but strong white girl, followed by the "I want to be as cool as you!" Black girl, then two stupid white guys, gay Asian, and some other ambiguous race girl.

In the 90s those demographics didn't exist and even if they did those people would never be in the same friend group. They all act like entitled zoomers and everyone wasn't so soft and fragile at the time. And why are all the guys wearing lipstick all the time and not once gets called a gay faggot? In the 90s even your teachers would call you gay for shit like that.

The old cast looks the same as before which is kinda weird but it may be just cause I grew up with the old show.

The kids aren't funny at all and all their lines feel forced.
The old cast is the same as ever so I'd say like 50% watchable

Given that the original cast had a smaller age gap between its viewers than it does now, combined with dialogue straight from Icarly, Hannah Montana, boy meets world.
Once they phase out the parents, it’s only going to resonate for people born after 2000.

Red would be the one to be homophobic anyway.

They did an episode of That 70's Show where Kitty invited a gay couple over to her home to watch football with Red. The punchline was that Red was fine with them being gay, but hated them when he found out they were Vikings fans and threw them out of his house.

I suppose it's better than the alternative. You know, those movies where they retcon an era to look way more bigoted than it really was. Usually happens in Oscar-bait.

One show I like that I felt delt with racism and sexism well for it's time period was Agent Carter (now some of you may disagree with me). But for instance alot of the male characters say some sexiests things to Peggy Carter. But all except like one minor character in one episode are portray as good men deep down just happen to be living in the 40s. Even the one character who was mean to Peggy after being murdered. Peggy feels guilty because he was killed because of the tip her and Jarvis gave to her fellow agents and he had a family too. It is really a good scene in my eyes especially since it was done before woke went full force in Hollywood. Like I'm pretty sure if the show came out now, Peggy wouldn't be sad that the guy died!!

In season 2 you deal with some racism (okay they don't say Nigger or anything, but still it's deal better than most shows). Where you have this black scientist who at first your like how does he have this high profile job in the 40s making me think they were going to do the revision stuff mentioned above. Only to find out the company he works for was the only place that were willing to hire a black man. The race elements are there but handle well. Like they of course acknowledge it but don't go all in making it look cringy where everyone wants to beat the shit out of him or anything. Someone may disagree with me. But I find the show handle stuff like that better than more recent shows the last five years.

Yeah, much better looking than Jane Fonda and Raquel did a tv special with Bob Hope and John Wayne.

The only reason I think Jane Fonda got more attention because Fonda is a liberal well Raquel has always been on the conservative side. So of course Hollywood would make a big deal out of the liver one of the two.

I'm surprised they didn't go full in on 90's diversity and have a black kid in a wheelchair, that'd probably be more funny imo.

that was just to meet the quota in the most efficient way, not to show everyone how inclusive you are. the black in the wheelchar was also the cool nerd, can't have an intellectual, educated black these days, that role is reserved for the QUIRKY! ZANY! cute introvert girl (which is also a lesbian of course).

People make fun of the Burger King club, but they did subtle diversity better than modern woke reboots. Considering it's a Netflix show, I'm a little surprised that the 90s show is not full of Velma-style woke writing shitting on fans of that 70s show. Then again, Netflix is hurting for money and trying to tone down woke shit. 90s cartoons are more racially diverse than cartoons now, yet modern cartoons circle jerk checkmark diversity quota characters, which are politically correct stereotypes. Hey Arnold never draw attention to Arnold and Gerald being friends while having different skin colors.

Twitter doesn’t think tv existed until three years ago, unless something was “problematic”.

You can't do a show about the 90's, hell not even about the 00's because any display of things like they were on that era would get you cancelled for some -ism.

Even if you want to display real racism of the time as a bad thing you get cancelled, you can't have a total redneck call the goody-2-shoes black character a 'nigger' with a really hard-R because without half a million zoomers having a shitfit over it.

This mediocre cunt just rehash the same old joke over and over.

Also lmao at watching a movie with a ps4 controller, "hello fellow kids" move right there.

I like the edit where she shows pleasure in how the 90s were racist, homophobic, and sexist, and exclaims "The 90s rocked!"

Zoomers look at the 90s with nostalgia, not knowing that they'd breakdown crying after just what their friends say to them. They'd be quiet surprised and "literally shaking" after being called a faggot, retard, or another term of endearment by their BFF. Or trannies were the butt of jokes in comedies.
