I watched a few episodes of season 1. I found all the kids to be completely generic and boring, I couldn't tell any of them apart. Whether that was due to the actors, the writing, or just me getting old I couldn't tell you.
Oh. Really? Bummer. I haven't seen season 2 yet. I was hoping it would be better than season 1. But after hearing about the cancellation, I am not surprised it was. I really wish the British Version of that 70s show would have been good. It's not good, but it is kind of comfortable
Wonder if the bad publicity around the original shows cast contributed to this. First season, everyone was talking about Danny Masterson. This season people just aren't down with Kutcher and Kunis. And this past month Kutcher's name has come up in relation to Diddy. None of them were in season 2 I believe. What's the point?
There was 22 years between the first air date of that 70s show (98) and the year it was set in (76).
There was a 28 year difference for that 90s show. I never watched that 90s show, but I'm guessing the reason for its limited success has more to do with the quality and the nature of the current streaming environment than the setting.
This makes me wonder how many shows we consider classics only got popular because the came on after something else we liked and we didn't change the channel. When given the choice to watch them we just... don't.
