That 80’s Show: The Failed Attempt Of Making The Sequel Of That 70’s Show

The year was 1984 and the stars shone brightly for a show called “That 80s Show” that would hopefully bring back all the glory of That ’70s Show. The most similar aspect is that both shows were set in their respective decades, but That ’80s Show failed where That ’70s Show succeeded. The series faded from history after its quick cancellation in 2002. It would last only one season of just 13 episodes. The show was created by Mark Brazill and Terry Turner. Brazil had previously written for That ’70s Show. Turner was the director of That ’70s Show. The duo made a critical decision when they created a separate idea based on their previous hit show, rather than creating a follow-up series that featured the same characters set in the 80s. This way, it was believed viewers would move on from their love of That ’70s Show and embrace this new decade with fresh eyes and open hearts. Unfortunately for them, this was not the case, as fans were mostly focused on what had come before; many did not want or appreciate a brand-new show with new characters.

What is the show about?  

The show is set in 1984 and revolves around the lives of a group of friends in their 20s living in San Diego, California. The show follows the lives of struggling musician Corey Howard and his associates, friends, and family. The series also follows his friends, who are all in their 20s and trying to figure out their places in the world. Many of these characters have very unconventional lives: people living on a sailboat with nothing but a dream, an odd couple that has trouble keeping their relationship afloat, a band that plays at venues no one seems to know about or care about, and Corey’s girlfriend who is struggling to be taken seriously as a professional actress. The show was set in 1984 where the characters were 20-somethings trying to make it in the world. The show was just another teen comedy, similar to That ’70s Show but set in the 80s rather than the 70s.

What makes this show interesting?  

The show is set in 1984 where the characters are 20-somethings trying to make it in the world. The show was just another teen comedy, similar to That ’70s Show but set in the 80s rather than the 70s. The chemistry and unique personalities of the actors were what made the show interesting and a lot of fun to watch, despite its short run. Both Corey and Fez (Danny Masterson) had very quirky, odd personalities that made them very likable. Many people loved this aspect of their character because it was different from what they saw on television every other day at 9 p.

What are critics?  

Critics had a difficult time with this series. They were frustrated by the lack of the original characters and how much of an oddball the show was compared to other sitcoms of the 2000s. The critics hated that change as well, but they felt that nothing would be better than That ’70s Show since it had become so popular. This new spin-off felt like a cheap copy of what had come before in terms of story and format, which just annoyed them even more.

Who is the creator?

The show was created by Mark Brazill and Terry Turner, the people behind That ’70s Show. They were the same people who decided to set the show in their respective decades, so it made sense for them to create another spin-off series that followed the same idea. This would allow them to focus on a different decade and hopefully bring in a new audience of viewers as well as many of the previous viewers of That ’70s Show.
