I'll excuse the three-day timeline gaff on the Alanis Morrisette release, but the lack of research on the background foods in the scenes is off-putting! Gen X and Millennials will easily remember the partially white background on the Doritos bags. I don't keep up with football, so I wasn't aware of those. Also, due to the Batman Forever hype, I remember Seal's Kiss by a Rose playing all over the radio, constantly, non-stop. surprised they didn't play into that one.

I want a Top 10 Things That '70s Show Gets Wrong About the 70s. Some inaccuracies there included the gang going to Six Flags Great America, except it wasn't called Six Flags Great America until the '80s, and other stuff that came out that decade (ie: Rainbow Brite and Sophie's Choice: The Movie - the latter even falls as a similar example to the first bullet you pointed at #10 in this video. Countries non-existent in the '70s are also referenced.

I wanted this to succeed for me. It does feel like season 1 of That 70s Show. But besides Fez & Kitty, one really acts like they did in the original show. The new cast does an OK job. Something feels off about this show. It feels more like a hokey than an actual TV show. It's like I'm watching a parody. Idk idk a little disappointed. Also did no one ga back to check the timeline before writing this show? These kids should 10 - 13 years old max.

What Nates Packers jersey actually says is that he is a fan of both the Green Bay Packers and North Carolina Tar Heels.
While William Henderson was not drafted by the Packers until that April, he had played four years of college football at North Carolina. Its very believable that Nate would be drawn to Henderson naturally as both a fan and a player of the sport, since neither plays what could be considered a glamorous position.

This show was terrible and completely inaccurate. Fezs dumb commercial was in Widescreen and HD and the effects looked like modern effects you can get today. The Pinciotti Kitchen layout is completely wrong and Donnas bedroom was never in the first level. The thing that bothered me the most was Brian Austin Greens appearance. Hes like 50 now and they had him play himself in the 90s and he was not 50 in the 90s.

I have a curious question. Would Ozzie be safe coming out in the 1990s?
I was a grammar school kid in the 90s, but I remember it wasn't easy for the LGBT community back then.
Sure we had Ellen and Will and Grace, but that doesn't mean homophobia wasn't common, especially in grammar schools, the most common homophobic joke was are you gay? Does your momma know you're gay? Either answer to that was a trap.

No 90s show ever gets the era right, you never see the nu metal era its always pop and rap, very few people listened to that crap top 40 shit, everyone i knew in the 90s hated mainstream music if you sold out we dismissed you and found something more underground, look back at jenny jones and sally, look at the punk era. It's all being rewritten, if you were there you know what I mean.

Okay I can explain the early copy if Jagged Little Pill. That song had traction at the time so the album was really hyped. If you were a savvy music fan you had that one music store you would go to because they would just put stuff out well before the the street date. Plenty of my CDs were acquired days before the actual release date.

9: 08 Actually, the album had already came out on June 13, 1995. The single version of the song is the one that came out on July 6, 1995, not Jagged Little Pill itself. It had already been out for two weeks on the date the shows pilot took place on. And even if that was the case, the song would have already been on the radio airwaves.

The way they are dress are not 90s if the makers of the show really wanted the 90s look they should have looked at show like full house, sister sister, Sabrina the teenage witch, and Clarissa explains it all.
Heck look at Lizzie McGuire it was from 2001 but still close enough from hold overs form the 90s.

You all can say what you want but when they all went running outside to No rain I legit teared up a little bit. If they dial in the clothes a little more for next season and get the rights to some more true 90's bangers people are going to watch. I'll take some Collective Soul and TEB soon please. :)

I didn't understand what the scene about the monkey grandparents was about in all honesty. I mean it looks like a reference to donkey Kong but unless you are on some hallucinogens, you probably aren't going to see that irl. Like seriously this is some off the wall stuff man.

My biggest issue was Leia's age. That 70s show ended as they entered 1980. Unless Donna was pregnant when the show ended, there's no way Leia is turning 15. And if Donna was pregnant early enough to have a baby in August of 1980, then Eric can't be the father.

The World I Know wasn't released until October of 1995. I guess it's more about nostalgic memories than details, lending weight to the fan theories about That 70s Show that we're not in real time but in the head of one of the characters (most popularly Fez.

There were no gay kids like this in the 90s, just STOP! Anyone this flamboyant got there ass kicked, stop acting like everything has always been this way. I new 3 gays total when I was growing up, and they were normal gays, no one talked like this at all.

The video game graphics was done that way for two reasons. First, licensing from Nintendo is expensive. Two, the alteration is just for the story. Also, Jagged little pill songs did play on the radio prior to the album release to promote sales.

Cassette tapes were very popular then CD players weren't so popular because they skipped you sneeze or bumped them very gently they skipped. In my town in the 90s the adult section was behind the checkout counter with a heavy curtain.

You think this is something? In the S03E06 episode of The Wonder Years (Odd Man Out, it's supposed to take place in 1969 yet Kevin is clearly shown holding a handful of 1989 Topps cards! I guess Kevin must have a Delorean in his garage?

It shouldn't have been that hard to do correct set dressing for a show set in the 1990s. Lots of us were there--and you can obviously to still find the commercials with original packaging!

Anybody who considered themselves edgy or a riot grrl in the 90s would NEVER have listened to Alanis. She was extremely mainstream and indie types would scoff at anyone listening to it.

What I think they got wrong were the boys hairstyles, the mushroom haircut of 1995 was parted down the middle, in this show they kinda had the same hair Kelso had in the 70's

I didn't like the gay kid at all.
First his role was so badly scripted and not funny at all. No hard feelings for the actor but the role is not fitting in my opinion.

That Cheez-It box near the Pringles was wrong as well. It has the little green logo meaning they are White Cheddar Cheezits which didn't come out until the 2000's.

Is it me? I don't remember people using the word rando in the 90s. I figured that term came about due to engaging with random people on the internet post 90s.

You want to see a more accurate depiction of the 90's? Watch Married With Children & My So Called Life. This show doesn't even come remotely close.

The only thing interesting about this show is the reference points to the 70s show. everything has no resemblance to the 90s. pretty lame overall
