You know what I really like about this show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I like the fact that this show is completely relatable. Despite being set in a different decade, I am sure we've all had friends like the ones on the show and have done the same things (hanging out, trying to look for some crazy stuff to do). We've all known the nerd, the cool girl who hung out with all the guys, the rocker, the dumb jock, the spoiled princess, and the weird foreign kid(or just plain weirdo...lol). Some of us have also had the father that rode our asses all the time and the mother who drank herself to oblivion...lol. Anyone agree? This show is so completely real.

That's why it's survived as long as it did. That 80s Show showed us that just throwing out novelty stuff from a certain era doesn't make a big hit. Strong writing, a talented cast, and relatable situations do.
