I saw the first episode. None of those child actors have the future B to D list celebrity charisma I expect from a That 70s Show follow up, but they have exactly the sort of anti-charisma I’d expect from a Netflix sitcom.

Since I posted I have been sitting here trying to remember the actor who played Eric Forman’s name and the best I can come up with is that it’s one of those weird white people ones, like Swaggin Breedlow.

Now we need a Malcolm in the Midlife, where it's an adult Malcolm who is dealing with a lovely life after being a prodigy where he's found himself now the dumbest person in the room compared to kids half his age. Meanwhile, his kids are all prodigies and he's struggling to find ways to keep them humbled and thinking they're normal so they don't follow in his footsteps.

Also, Allison McBeal: A much older Ally is back and has gotten her own law firm where she's operating out of a repurposed shopping mall and handles non-glamourous cases. Theme song is Cake's Short Skirt and a Long Jacket.

Finally, Herman's Body: A follow up to Herman's Head where it's now humanized representations of an aging Herman's anatomy (heart, lungs, back, brain, skin, penis, etc.) discussing the issues he's trying to deal with in every episode.

I thought the show was fun. Feels like if a Disney sitcom was allowed to talk about drugs, rock and roll and sex.

Hopefully the flesh out Ozzie, he deserves a bit more spotlight besides being a wallflower in most of his scenes.

If you dig into the history of that one it looks like there might have been some ultra-dark but very hard to substantiate poo poo going on with the three boys that makes a reunion much harder, although I'm dead sure lots of people have given it a go and with Cranston's second career wind winding down we're about at the window for that to either happen or not.

It's That 70s Show, so nothing sacred was getting desecrated.

I watched the Ashton Kutcher/Mila Kunis cameo on YT because they're the only ones who seemed to genuinely enjoy their time on the show and their obvious joy at reprising their characters for one scene is pretty rare and infectious.

Everything else is a nope from me.

The young stars of today/tomorrow are like plants on a spaceship-- they do the job and the nutritional content is as-good or even better, but you can't help but taste that it's all hydroponics that have only ever seen the sun through plates of UV and lead filtering and not an open-air Earth atmosphere.

I like the show, it's easy to watch and the cast is fun. Good to see Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp get a dumptruck full of money for this. They're the best part of this show, as they were originally.

Looking forward when they make the 2000s show and I can be outraged that the xbox 360 has the wrong red lights on when it breaks or some other very important deal breaker.

To save money, several episodes will be 30 minute long reaction videos to them watching 'new' episodes of Friends in real-time, ala that stunt that I think TV Land pulled about 20 years ago.

I just attributed it to Netflix's inability to crack the sitcom nut. They've figured out how to reliably produce workmanlike versions of all sorts of genres- film and television- but their sitcoms are uniformly execrable. I don't know what's different, but I've never seen even a mediocre Netflix original sitcom.

There's also something about the fact that you're sitting down at an assigned time on network TV with commercial breaks to watch it reinforces the audience aspect of it.
