ICYMI: Netflix's That90sShow tries but falls short of bringing the charm of That70sShow as all-too-familiar themes undercut a promising new cast. Review / DebraJoRupp KurtwoodSmith

\nWhen Netflix announced That '90s Show, the legacy sequel set 20 years after the start of the events at the start of That '70s Show, it offered an opportunity to provide a fresh start for a new cast while giving fans their cake with most of the holdover cast from the original Fox series. The show's premise is more an ensemble cast by nature despite holdovers Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith in the starring roles reprising popular parents Kitty and Red Forman.

Stark, who's always a joy to watch on the original Fox series, felt like his character went in the wrong direction in the Netflix series, even in a limited guest appearance capacity with his 'visiting' character.\nImage: Netflix\nBob's one of three grandparents, and the best you can do is make him a bigger sad sack than he already was? I mean, even Sam Lloyd's Ted from Scrubs was able to find happiness again. It feels like a huge wasted opportunity.
