No one is likely to describe the new sitcom as a bold take on the source material or praise its originality and bravery; it aims for nothing much more ambitious than recreating the low-key charm of its predecessor.

It\u2019s 1996 now, with the updated cultural references to match: There are entire storylines built around <em>Clerks<\/em>, raves and AOL, and homages to Donkey Kong and <em>Beverly Hills, 90210<\/em>. Our protagonist is no longer Eric (Topher Grace), who\u2019s grown up to become an adjunct professor in Chicago, but his teenage daughter Leia (Callie Haverda). And there\u2019s a self-referentiality that never needed to be there before, with cameos, running gags and the occasional plot point calling back to decades past. Thankfully, a mellow touch mostly keeps these nods from getting too cutesy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    But there\u2019s far more that hasn\u2019t changed. Much of the premiere episode is spent maneuvering to get Leia to stay with her grandparents, Kitty and Red (returning stars Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith) for the summer. Once she\u2019s settled, Leia spends her time much as her parents did before her, camping out in the Formans\u2019 basement with her friends. While <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em> wisely resists the temptation to swap in one-to-one analogues of the previous cast, Leia has inherited some of her dad\u2019s dorkiness, and ditzy jock Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan) feels even more like the new version of Ashton Kutcher\u2019s Michael Kelso than the actual new Kelso, Michael\u2019s smooth-talking son Jay (Mace Coronel).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The circle pans that it took my teenage self an embarrassing number of years to realize were meant to suggest marijuana use are back. So are the cute little interstitials of characters goofing off before colorful graphic backgrounds. The theme song, \u201cIn the Street,\u201d has been lightly updated with a more era-appropriate punk flavor. In an especially throwback-y touch, <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em> retains the now-unfashionable multi-camera format, complete with laugh track. The individual episodes <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly clock in around the broadcast TV standard of 22 minutes, in a welcome break from the usual Netflix bloat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Most significantly, <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em> maintains the likable vibe that made the earlier show such a reliable comfort watch \u2014 the laid-back humor, the upbeat nostalgia, the simple empathy for the small but significant challenges of suburban adolescence. At the start of <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em>, Leia is a wide-eyed sweetheart whose idea of a wild anecdote is \u201cOne time, at the beach, a seagull stole my sandwich, and under my breath, I called her a bitch.\u201d Over the course of the ten-episode season, she comes out of her shell with the help of her new BFF, riot-grrrl-next-door Gwen (Ashley Aufderheide) \u2014 trying out booze, weed, kissing and the general concept of teenage rebellion for the first time in her sheltered life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Although Leia is technically a newcomer to Gwen\u2019s friend group, the cast establish an easy, lived-in rapport in no time at all. Havedra anchors the ensemble with the self-assurance of a seasoned pro, even as Leia flails like the awkward goody-two-shoes that she is, and her chemistry with Aufderheide makes for perhaps the group\u2019s liveliest pairing. As the group\u2019s other pair of besties, Donovan and Coronel are so endearingly in sync that they can hold entire conversations by simply repeating the word \u201c<em>bro<\/em>\u201d back and forth. Meanwhile, if the younger stars occasionally veer the tiniest bit Disney Channel in their broadness, Rupp and Smith slip into their roles like no time has passed at all, and it\u2019s a pleasure simply to be in the presence of their well-worn dynamic once more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    If there\u2019s a downside to <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em>\u2018s relatively brief ten-episode season, it\u2019s that there\u2019s simply not enough time to utilize each member of the cast to their fullest potential. Sam Morelos\u2019 no-nonsense Nikki doesn\u2019t really come into focus until the second half, having spent most of the first attached at the lips to her boyfriend Nate. At the same time, Reyn Doi\u2019s Ozzie (the only gay kid in the clique) makes an im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te impression with his dry wit, but he\u2019s too often relegated to the sidelines of other people\u2019s arcs, as if the writers haven\u2019t quite figured out what to do with him. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    But these are minor flaws in the grand scheme of things. <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em> passes with flying colors the test of any ensemble sitcom \u2014 the ability to pair off any combination of actors, confident they\u2019ll be able to generate comedic sparks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    As for the crew who used to hang out in that basement, <em>That \u201990s Show<\/em> brushes up only here and there against the poignancy inherent in its premise. As Red puts it, Eric and Donna (Laura Prepon) are \u201cupstairs people\u201d now \u2014 full-fledged adults sitting around the kitchen table while the kiddos get up to god-knows-what downstairs. The rare moments when they get to commiserate with their teenage counterparts, sharing the lessons we saw them learn 20 years ago, are sure to tug at the heartstrings of millennial fans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    But it\u2019s a spice the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> deploys only sparingly, aware that this simply isn\u2019t their world anymore. The basement belongs to the \u201990s kids now, and to paraphrase that same old theme song, they\u2019re all all right.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
