That 70s Show is one of my top ten favorite series. So this series already had an uphill battle, but I gave it chance. It's a big let down and it felt too forced. The original show felt like real people whom you could connect and empathize with. This feels like bad acting. The characters and story lines are over done cliches or cheesy rip offs from the original series. The first episode alone was overdone story arcs from the original. That could have been done well but clumped together to force nostalgia. While Kitty and Reds characters try their hardest to carry the show it was ultimately Erics cameo that felt the most natural. Even Donna, Michael, Jackie and Fez felt like props and didn't give any real credit to their past selfs beyond superficial explanations for the previous 20 years.

It has some potential
26 September 2011
It seemed like it could be a good show, but they had too many plot themes in the first episode, as with the fact they gave too much away. The reason people love good television series is they have a slight mystery and suspense. That's what essentially keeps viewers. I understand the writers concept to show all the connections between the characters but it needs to evolve throughout the series. I feel like I can already predict how the season will end. The other problem is they have some well known faces to people who enjoy indie films, as well as the obvious movie star Christina Ricci. With any TV series that has movie stars and potential movie stars isn't going to last very long. But I have to say it kept me intrigued, I wasn't necessarily bored, and I am looking forward to seeing the second episode. With hope that it could straighten out the plot and give viewers more reason to return.
