Is it basically the same character??? OR Very different???

Similar characteristics, but much smarter, and has the ability to be more mature. Kutcher plays stupid well, haha, so I have no problem with them utilizing his Kelso-ness every so often. I do however have a problem with Judy Greer. Bad casting! Can't stand Bridget.

Similar but very different -- LOL.

Whatever Walden is doing is working -- the show is very funny this season.
