Some argue the show doesn't feel like the '90s at all

A Reddit section for fans of "That '90s Show" has been full of feedback for the new series since it debuted on January 19, 2023, on Netflix. One thread titled "Did not really feel 90's at all" has garnered numerous comments, many from viewers who agree with that sentiment. One user wrote, "There were so many little things they could have done to make it feel 90's. Like instead of Eric's record player in the basement, they could have had Leia's CD Player, with 90's CD's. Just little things like that would have made a big difference. Plus using the word "dude" instead of "bro."

Other users noted the '90s theme felt "phoned-in," and found some references in the background bothersome. "It bothered me that in the hub they used a modern Milwaukee Bucks pendant instead of 90s logo," another user posted. "It's a small thing that takes away the immersion and makes this more that [2020s] show."

However, others argued the show did a good job, pointing out that Leia was visiting her grandparents. "Of course it's going to be Eric's record player in the basement, not a CD player and 90s CDs," u/karibear909 noted. "She probably would have just brought along her disc-man, not her whole *ss CD player. As for the clothes, they absolutely were right for the time. Those dresses with the shirt underneath that Leia wore, are totally 1995."
