Summary
After watchingThat ' 90s Showseason 2 , I have to assume that the one matter I was really hoping for in the spinoff is never going to happen . The Netflix serial has done a phenomenal task introducing a fresh work party of teen characters , and overall , I have enjoyedThat ' 90 Showimmensely . There does n’t have to be constant reference toThat ' seventy ShowforThat ' XC Showto be nostalgic since its very rule comes with that bittersweet feeling built right in . Still , it might have been nice if the show had shed fan of the original series one last off-white .
That ' 90 Showfollows Leia Forman , daughter to Donna and Eric , as she stays with her grandparent in Point Place , Wisconsin , every summertime . Set 15 years after theending ofThat ' 70s Show , the series explores the mischievousness affect with being a teen in the nineties , which , as it turn out , is n’t too different than in the seventies . The theme is that , while times change , teenager will still be teenagers . WhileThat ' ninety Showfollows a young gang of basement dwellers , the stars fromThat ' 70s Showhave returned for cameos . Still , this has n’t quite lived up to expectations .
Here ’s a breakdown of the mould , characters , and cameos of That ' XC Show part 1 - 3 , including the return of That ' LXX Show ’s many cameos .

It Doesn’t Look Like That ’70s Show’s Original Gang Will Have A Reunion On That ’90s Show
Despite The Many Cameos, There Has Been No Real Reunion
Nearly all those who take on the original teenagers ofThat ' 70s Showappeared inThat ' 90 Showseason 1 , but there was not a single here and now in which they were all in the same room at the same time . Topher Grace and Laura Prepon reunited to play now - married couple Eric and Donna , and once they were gone , Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher come on sieve together to reunify Red and Kitty Forman with Jackie and Kelso . Later , Wilmer Valderrama joined in on several episodes , play Fez , who in short reunited with Donna in the circle .
Danny Masterson , the only original member of the That ' 70s Show ring not to appear inThat ' 90s Show , is serving a 30 - to - life prison house sentence .
These were all splendid moments , butthey fell just short of being an actual reunion . Leading up toThat ' 90s Showseason 1 , many of the original stars tease their involvement with the spinoff series , and I naturally thought this entail that we would see the now grownup gang united once again . While I was let down in the first installment , I held out Leslie Townes Hope for time of year 2 . However , these instalment have now come and gone , and the only member of the pack to render is Prepon ’s Donna . At this point , if a reunification has n’t happened , I have to accept that it probably never will .
That ’70s Show returns set two decades later with That ’90s Show, acting as a sequel but bringing back old cast favorites. Led by Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) Forman, the new cast arrives as the next generation, with the daughter of Eric and Donna, Leia Forman, leading the charge. Spending the summer with her grandparents, Leia makes new friends and forges new bonds in Point Place, Wisconsin. That ’70s Show series regulars make cameos in the show to maintain that sense of familiarity, and the show adopts the conventions of the ’90s as expected. That ’90s Show first aired on Netflix with a total of ten episodes.
While That ' 90 Show time of year 1 was full of quality cameo from That ' 70s Show ’s cast , time of year 2 left out most of those from the original series .
How That ’70s Show’s Reunion Could Still Happen If The Original Actors Return Again
A Reunion At The End Of That ’90s Show Wouldn’t Get In the Way
The writers at Netflix likely did n’t want an all - out reunion with the original gang ofThat ' 70s Showto dwarf the newThat ' 90s Showcast , and I admit , this was in all likelihood a good conclusion . Reboots or sequels often shinny to make it longer than a season or two since when the nostalgia wear off , there is n’t enough marrow allow for the serial to stand on its own . That ' 90s Showseason 2 has been well received , proving that the new cast and character do n’t need their herald . Reuniting the old gang in the first season might have only been an obstacle .
… a That ' 70s Show reunion would be the cherry tree on top rather than a stratagem to come through over audiences for a mark - novel show .
Of naturally , ifThat ' XC Showcontinues to be successfulfor several more season , there ’s no reason the original mob could n’t have an official reunification sometime run up to the series closing curtain . By this distributor point , the teens of the spinoff will be well - loved on their own , and aThat ' 70s Showreunion would be the cherry on top rather than a ploy to deliver the goods over audiences for a brand - new show . This would depend on the actors ' willingness to return , but it seems I can hold out a paring of promise . For now , I must content myself with the fresh and fun new characters and stories ofThat ' 90 Show .
