Anybody Ever Watch "That 80's Show"?

I watched it and it had some great scenes and some forced. It was the first show set in the 80's and that fall other 80's shows premiered. Sadly there wouldn't be a successful show set in the 80's for ten years or so when the Goldbergs premiered.

TV Trash: That 80s Show

That '80s Show, a spin-off to the hugely popular That '70s Show that was cancelled after only one season. The show's main problem was that it had no link whatsoever to That '70s Show; none of the characters or actors were involved. The daring stuff that made That '70s Show so notable was totally absent, as were likable and identifiable characters. It was basically a bland middle-of-the-road sitcom where the one-dimensional protagonists mostly made cheap and random references to 1980s pop culture. After a few episodes, Fox started changing the originally intended chronological order of the episodes, but it was already too late. None of the fans of That '70s Show liked it and newcomers weren't particularly interested either. The only remotely interesting thing about this show is that three actors on it would later be seen on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Glenn Howertonnote , Charlie Daynote , and Brittany Danielnote ). Here's Brad Jones putting himself through it.

As bad as it was, I hope it gets a DVD release. I know it won't happen anytime soon, but yeah, no good copies can be found anywhere . It used to be on Hulu and it had great quality episodes, but then they yanked it off there with no notice. I hope it comes back to Hulu or it is released on DVD soon.

Kirk Buchner and Chris Bournea examine the failure that was #That80sShow, a show that should have been successful, but was created by people who misremembered that decade.
