My First Impressions Of That 90's Show

 


It seems that all Hollywood knows how to make these days is remakes , reboots and sequels and well another new sequel has just been released. However this one is actually the second sequel to a hugely popular TV show since the show itself did technically spawn a sequel called That 80's Show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that really does take us all back the nineteen nineties with the show in question being called simply just "That 90's Show" enjoy.

The plot of the show is new girl Leia Forman moves in with her grandparents for the summer while she struggles to make friends. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the shows plot being genuinely quite entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these first three episodes is this shows executive producer Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman and this shows other executive producer Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman. Also starring in this show is Callie Haverda as Leia Forman , Ashley Aufderheide as Gwen Runck , Mace Coronel as Jay Kelso , Reyn Doi as Ozzie , Sam Morelos as Nikki , Maxwell Acee Donovan as Nate Runck , Gabby Sanalitro as Mama , Luke Millington-Drake as Wade , Topher Grace as Eric Forman , Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart , Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso , Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti , Rhett George as George , Andrea Anders as Sherri Runck , Wilmer Valderrama as Fez and Tommy Chong as Leo Chingkwake.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With both the old cast and the newer cast turning in some really good performances and the older cast members really recapturing the spirit of their old characters in their respective performances. 



This show is of course the sequel to the 1998 show That 70's show and as somebody who did watch alot of That 70's Show growing up I really do feel that they managed to recapture the spirit of that show in this show. Unlike the new Night Court sequel series where you have to have been a fan of the original show in order to understand the new show here I don;t think that that's the case since the show is ultimately about teenagers growing up and that is something that is a very universal thing to go through be it as a teenager or as a parent watching them grow up and that is something that is a very universal theme to be dealing with.


As great as it is to see all of these new characters I have to admit that as a fan of That 70's Show it was great seeing all of the original characters again. Since yeah all of the main hang of friends apart from one obvious person appear within the first three episodes of this show and all three of them totally own each and every single scene that there in and they all reminded me of why these characters were so great in the first place and while the new cast will have there fans they just won't be able to top the original cast.

Heck they even bring back the theme song accept instead of getting somebody good like Cheap Trick to do that they instead got Brett Anderson to do it. Which isn't a bad choice but a theme song that's this iconic really did somebody who has the vocals to make this song seem even more iconic then what it already is but I will admit that this version of the song is a pretty good version of the song it's just not as good as the Cheap Trick version was and the song is still a damned catchy song to listen to as well as being a genuinely good song.


This shows new cast of characters so far just don't seem to be all that fun apart from Leia who seems like she's the stereotypical girl next door type of character. Where as alot of the other characters just seem like lazy rip offs of the characters from the original show heck one of them is even related to characters from the original show but even so he still seems like a bad rip off of his father with nothing coming from his mother where as with Leia you can see traits of both her mother and her father and that makes her seem all the more interesting to me.

Now then the first three episodes of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty minuets and four seconds for episode one , twenty four minuets and eight seconds for episode two and twenty four minuets and fourteen seconds for episode three. For some reason they made episode one the longest episode of these first three episodes which is a weird choice because it doesn't have a whole lot of story there and the only thing that bumps it up to that running time is the fact that they have a "this season on" trailer which just wasn't needed but I will admit that all three of the episodes have some really great pacing to them.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first three episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all three episodes managing to get at least one big laugh out of me since alot of the jokes in these first three episodes come from the characters and are vert character driven jokes that are really funny and help to make these characters feel all the more likable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show is so far better then the Night Court sequel since this show is actually funny but at the same time I can't really see fans of That 70's Show liking this show since alot of that shows characters aren't in this show all that much and I can see that putting them of in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well all of the bad things that are in these first three episodes in this very post and since this only my first impressions of the show i'm not going to give this show a rating but I will review this show if i'm either bored or I just feel like doing which considering that this shows first season is ten episodes long is something that I can't really see being the actual case.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally used in this very post from the official That 90's Show fandom wiki page , the official Netflix fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the official That 90's Show fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official That 90's Show fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
