That 70s Show writers knew the show was coming to a close... the finale was drawing close, Randy Pearson had already over stayed his welcome, and the love for the series faded with Donna's original hair color.
Now tasked with coming up with an equally big hit--- they decided to jump into the next decade with That 80s Show.
How good was it?
Well, let me ask you... how often have you heard someone so much as say "That 80s Show" ?
At least the show runners were smart enough to cast a young Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I like how people who can't create literally anything somehow feel the need to criticize others work. Lemme see what you got? Oh, is that right? Jack shit? Well that's unsurprising. I mean if something pisses you off, maybe go out and do something better instead of blabbering about how much something sucks maybe? No? Just a suggestion. Do more videos of your doggos because your think/stink pieces have the appeal of a 98 yr old on Viagra.
I create videos like this... what do you create since you felt the need to come here and “criticize” my work?
Vee Infuso CHECK FUCKING MATE AHAHAHA
@@VI_V2 This must be one of the show writers in disguise.
You just got clapped, son.
Wow... Salty much?
That 40s show during the war, the main hangout spot is not in the basement but in a bomb bunker, imagine.
Wouldn’t that just be M*A*S*H ??

@@YourWaveyness MASH was Korea. Could do Hogan's Heroes for WWII.
How about That 1770s Show? It could be about a bunch of Rebel teens standing up to their Loyalist parents.
No, it'd star only women, and all working at the factories. All the men were over in European, and Pacific theatres.
"That 1340s Show" really started out amazing, then when the Black Death hit it totally killed off the show
Blackadder, you mean? 😉😂
Same happened to "That 2020's show".
I dont think thats what did it. I think it fell off shortly after they replaced Erickson with Randall
"2 Weeks (To Stop The Spread)" didn't work out so well either.
That 1480's show got off the rails in season 8
This is like if Randy was a whole show
S. Prince Lewis this is probably the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard
S. Prince Lewis yes
Kelso was a dope but Randy was just stupid. He never had a serious moment in the entire god damned series.
Accurate.
*damn.*
"Everybody Hates Chris" was "That 80's Show" but it was actually really good.
Absolutely.
Agreed. That show was downright HILARIOUS.
Yeah and it's funny how some of forget Chris Rock was an adult in the 80s. He would've done his life in the 70s but felt like 70s nostalgia was already done.
Yup
Terrible show
My band teacher from middle school was a fan of The 70s Show. He was a teenager in the 70s and he agreed characters in the show were spot on. He said literally every group of friends had at least if not all a Kelso, Erik, and a Hyde... Shout out to Mr. Nordall.
I worked as a young writer on That 70s Show, so I can give a bit of perspective as to what happened with That 80s Show. When they first began developing and writing That 70s Show, the title was not the title, but a placeholder to identify the show, because it took place in the 70s. This is common with titles, because often they won't actually finalize a title of a show until they get a better idea of characters, plots, etc. as well as what marketing says might sell or resonate with target audiences. I remember titles being floated around based on 70s songs (Days Like These may have been one). They were thinking in the mindset of a "Dazed and Confused" style title. However, as time went on, they simply gave up and went with the placeholder title "That 70s Show" because no one could really agree on anything. By this time, the first season was written and being filmed. So the show, although titled like it's going to focus on the 70s, it didn't and never was intended to focus on the time period... it's just by accident that the title seemed to say that it would focus on the 70s. So, as the seasons went on and the show was doing well, the spin off talk began. They offered some of the lower level writers the opportunity to take the reigns being basically supervised and assisted by senior writers like Mark, Bonnie and Terry. By this time, I feel, the focus for That 80s Show did become about the time period because the title of the spin off show had to be That 80s Show. It's odd... I remember sitting in a room being offered an opportunity to write for the show, but the producers and other executives pitched it as a time period piece. Many of us felt the same way: "That 70s Show isn't about the 70s, so why is That 80s Show being pitched this way?" It's simple in my opinion: For That 70s Show, the title was the last thing finalized... for the That 80s Show, the title was the first thing finalized. This approach and the fundamental rule of Hollywood (money), is what doomed it shortly after it was pitched, as far as I believe.

Interesting
Hey im just curious, what did you think was the most successful season of that's 70s show, and did you agree with the writing choices made during the final season?
@@val.s2866 I would say season 2 and 3, in my opinion, which probably could be said about most sitcoms that run about 6 to 8 seasons. This is where characters are fully developed, story lines are new and the characters are the ages they are suppose to be. However, I do like season 7 as well. I thought there were some good episodes in there too, especially considering time was running out on the show. Strong season for a 7th. As far as writing choices at the end, I think they were "right" for what it was trying to accomplish, which is to stay on the air. Was it good? No... it wasn't. Actors are getting older, some getting success beyond the show, they want to leave before they are forever branded "that character," they don't want to continue on a show that has overstayed its welcome, then writers are getting desperate to fill these holes. These characters can only exist like this for so long, so story lines are getting harder to put together that don't become absurd. I mean is Hyde going to be living in the basement when he is 40? Very few sitcoms go out "on top" because there is too much money to be made, people are working and successful sitcoms are extremely rare. So when they do "hit," no one wants it to end it until all of it is drained. That's why you get what you get at the end of these runs. Seinfeld is the only time I can really think of a sitcom that went out on top and Jerry quit because he knew where it would eventually head. I was gone by that time, though... moved on myself.
Thank You , im glad to hear your point of view
That 70s show & Friends were actually filmed in front of a live audience and not a laugh track.
I wish they still did that for tv sitcoms. It is so obvious when they use a laugh track and you can hear the same canned laughter clips from one episode to the next. At least with filming in front of a live studio audience it is close to performative art like in a play or something. It makes the actors better and doesn’t feel as disruptive.
I can't imagine having to laugh at one of the green screen and cgi scenes. Would be kind of awkward
Henry Sanchez mostly done by dead people
stev6963 it’s BT dead people
Mr. Yeet_eats ya
Didn't remember Dennis Reynolds being on this show. I actually think the concept could work today. The world wasn't ready for a sitcom about the 80s in the late 90s early 00s.
Yeah, an 80s based sitcom would definitely work today. Look at the Goldbergs.
Yep. The gap between the decades weren't far enough to invoke a sense of nostalgia on a massive scale.
Jay Anthony ready aka nostalgic enough
@@brandonpage7087 But The Goldbergs is a good show, unlike That '80s Show.
@@Ayy_Doll_Fiddler I disagree. It has less to do with the era and more to do with the cast. I knew nothing about the 70s apart from Star Wars being made but the cast made that show great, not the fact that it was set in the 70s.
There was a "That 80s show"... it was called "Stranger Things."
Yeah but that's horror. Not comedy
@@TheRealDykeDrilla Stranger Things has a lot of comedy.. and season 3 was painful to watch
Stranger Things enjoys its own era. That 80's Show treated it as if it couldn't wait for the 90's to arrive.
It was also called the Goldbergs.
@@TheRealDykeDrilla idk man, i think it's hilarious they thought season 3 was a good idea.
That 70s Show was a show about a group of high school kids in the 70s. That 80s Show was a show about the 80s with people in it. Huge difference.
This show came out to early 80s nostalgia wasnt a thing yet lol
I was in high school when this show came out and 80s nostalgia was a thing the show just fucking sucked that bad
Yes it was, dumbass. People were already nostalgic for the 8ps in the late 90s, dumb fuck!
MrParkerman6 no need to be hateful :)
Wedding Singer had been out
80’s nostalgia was very much a thing when this show came out in 2002 and it was a HUGE thing. That same year VH1 had a big hit with their “I love the 80s” series which was just a nostalgic look back at the decade.
But nostalgia couldn’t help the horrible writing and lack of chemistry between the actors (not that they’re bad actors, they just greatly lack chemistry among each other) of this show. It was just a bad show.
I can't lie, I laughed when that guy asked if his nose was bleeding...lol.
Because you get the joke and that's fine. But it's still very obnoxious to immediately begin with a bunch of jokes like that. Instead of any sort of character development, it's just time period jokes. It'd be like if the first line in That 70s Show were Eric asking Kelso if his eyes were red and then a cut to Hyde talking about how great Led Zeppelin is. It's like we get it, you live in that decade. Now what else?
Boooooo!!
I wasn’t even born till 2002 so uh can someone please explain that? like was it common to get nosebleeds in the 80’s
Mara Dillon probably has something to do with snorting drugs
@@Siireneyes ahh I dunno why my brain didn’t think of that lol I don’t do drugs 😂😂
We have a that 80’s show it’s called the goldbergs. 🤩
Yeah and it’s still better than that’s 80s show
Also we got a thats 90s show it’s call fresh off the boat
The Goldbergs; that show is garbage.
@@kenrose2523 No way, i kinda like it!:)
Ken Rose you’re crazy
@@Slice2099 Why do you say that? The writing is terrible, the acting is below average and the overall atmosphere of the show just feels unnatural but that's just my opinion.
Wait when Peter Griffin said "that 80s show" when he told his family they were being cancelled
He wasn't making it up?
All those shows were real
“Well if ALL, those shows go down the toilet, I guess we have a shot.”
Greg the Bunny was the best one. I love Greg the Bunny!
That 2000s show should take place in 06 and have emo and scene kids screaming their favorite songs.
Yes and the kids should be on myspace
Well, That 70s Show started in 1998, so That 2000s Show should start in around 4 years.
laugh tracks are annoying when the jokes arent funny. there are series of youtube videos of studio filmed sitcoms without their laugh tracks. big bang is cringe inducing.
Big bang is cringy with the laugh track
TBBT is cringe with and without laughs in the background ...
Ross from Friends without laugh track can be really disturbing too.
This show was actually a prelude to “Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, Dennis WAS a GOD in the 80’s (according to him at least)
Also the “The Tranny” was on this show as well
I love love love Glenn Howerton💟
but in sunny, they were in high school in the 90's so im not exactly sure if it could work like that
There is NO connection between the two shows. An actor being on two shows doesn’t make them related, it’s not a prequel. A prequel comes AFTER the original. Had that been their intention, Sunny would have never happened because 80’s was cancelled after 13 episodes.
His character names aren’t the same, Corey doesn’t have a twin, & Dennis was born in 1976, making him 4-13 during the 80’s, not in his twenties. He also never referred to himself as a GOD in the 80’s, but “The Golden God”.
Nikki Price joke. It was a joke dude. Obviously the shows are not connected.
If they did "that 90s show" all the original actors would be around the same age range as their charaters...
We just got it.
You predicted the future! Netflix just greenlit a 90's spinoff about Eric and Donna's daughter Leia, who is staying with her grandparents, Kitty and Red, for the summer.
@@trinaq Yeah IMDb says expected release date of 2022.
The Goldbergs did for the 80’s what That 70’s Show did for the 70’s. The decade and its references are front and center, yet the show doesn’t seem to rely on the references exactly. It’s the heart of the characters that matters over the references. And that’s what makes the show great. You can almost remove all the nostalgia and the show would still work. Unlike that 80’s Show where there would be nothing left.
If you took the "references" out of the Goldbergs there would, literally, be no show.
This week, we're plagiarizing Risky Business ... and family is the most important thing.
This week, we're plagiarizing The Karate Kid ... and family is the most important thing.
This week, we're plagiarizing Dirty Dancing ... and family is the most important thing.
This week, we're plagiarizing The Goonies ... and family is the most important thing.
This week ** insert whatever ** and lather ... rinse ... repeat.
Give Adam Goldberg credit. He sold a big bag of nothing for a big pile of money, but this show's only redeeming qualities are Wendi McLendon Covey and Jeff Garlin.
And it is still a piece of crap.
@@Tim_the_Enchanter
I agree with you it is so annoying since i realised it today and this whole family crap wouldn't watch it again.
Yep, when That '70s show first aired, I didn't get it, but as I saw more episodes and realized that it was effectively a show about my family, it really grew on me. It's still my go to show for when I want to explain to people the dynamics of my family growing up. Red looks and acts a lot like my dad, and I tend to think that if my parents hadn't moved to a city, that that's roughly how my life may have turned out.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade oh yeah. You had the hard edge dads that fought in Nam, bringing up kids who were into all that hippie love and "fight the power" mentality. It definitely was relatable to so many of us who grew up in that decade.
After rewatching all 13 episodes, I can say that this show was not as bad as it’s reputation. Now that we have that 90’s show it actually makes that 80’s show twice as good. Unfortunately, this show came out right after the 90’s ended, the 80’s didn’t quite have that nostalgia factor to it yet
Yes, I agree. I could watch the old youtube re-runs over/over.. There is heart and cheese(just like Dr. Who). Also, you are right about not having enough time in between. The 80's were all about yuppies and materialism. Then the 90's the rise of the hipsters and tv shows like Twin Peaks.
This title was the first time I have ever seen "That 80's Show".
Ex fucking actly
@Sirenz80 why does it look older than the 70s show
Bruno Rabago Low budget probably
My family and I used to joke that when that 70s show ended it would just be called that 80s show and just go on so this came as a shock
I didn't even realize there was one.
I totally forgot about this show and this was Fox's attempt to catch lightning in a bottle twice. It doesn't work that way and this is a prime example.
Yea that 70s show is one of the greatest sitcoms ever the stories the characters the plots the comedy everything just clicks it was a huge success for fox and they tried to leach off that success and they failed
Friends used 10 different laugh tracks and that’s why it doesn’t bug us as much but the other shows only 1 for there entire run
Friends didn't use laugh track, it was live
@@isaiasovelar4434 Good point but I still think laughter as part of a TV show to be a terribly dated concept
@@isaiasovelar4434 You're both right. They record laughter of the live audience but since scenes are re-shot to get the best take, its hard to get people to laugh at the same thing twice. So they match the best scene shot with the best audience reaction. And sometimes they even mix a lot of the laughters to get greater effect. For example: If the left side laughed louder at first shot and the right side laughed louder at the second take. They mix the two or tre recordings together and add it to the finished product.
@@isaiasovelar4434 Jennifer Aniston admitted the show used laugh tracks for some episodes .
@@isaiasovelar4434 didn't a lot of shows use live audiences? Because laugh tracks stopped being used in the 70s or 80s because I remember that happy days changed the house set because they went to a live audience and this was in the mid 70s
I am so glad that Glenn Howerton moved on to greatness with "Its always sunny in Philadelphia".
I feel like so many people can't tell a story from the 80s without making pop culture references rather than using the 80s as a backdrop.
I also feel a big problem with this show is that the writers stretched themselves thin by writing this at the same time that 70s show was on
Hell, reference shows in general are kind of annoying because people can't use the reference to tell a story instead of face-planting you in it, (see: the 90s, the 80s, the 70s, the 60s...)
I thought The Wonder Years did a great job of not shoving into your face that the show took place in the late 60s/early 70s. Rely on the talent, let the writing be the strength, and keep references to a minimum.
The Goldbergs seems to have done this right. Yes, there are pop culture references but there stories to go with each of the episodes.
The only other 80's themed scripted property that got it Right other than. The Goldbergs was "The Wedding Singer"
I feel like - outside of the horror story elements - Stranger Things has come the closest to properly representing what it was like in the 80s. Especially as a kid. My sister was a little older and I’m a little younger than what the main four characters are in the show. It brings up stuff that was huge - Ghostbusters was massive when it was out - in a realistic way. The Cold War era. The fear of the Russians invading or bombing the shit out of us at any given moment. To just disappearing with your friends all day to get into some shit. It’s just people living in the 80s.
The "Dad" on this show was great on "Unhappily Ever After". Some might consider it a Married With Children rip off but I thought it was pretty good
The puppet was great.
@@wtfsamusidk7574 Hell Yeah the puppet was great! Bobcat Goldthwait is hilarious
@L Franco yes...yes she was
"Unhappily Ever After" was AWESOME!!! The reason it had strong Married with Children vibes is because "Unhappily Ever After" was created by the SAME people who created Married with Children and a lot of the same writers wrote for both shows. The Bunny puppet, Mr.Floppy, (voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait) was freaking hilarious!!! and Nikki Cox was awesome on so many levels. And the dad was great! Both shows are even in the same multiverse (there was at least one moment in "Unhappily Ever After" that I know of where during the end credits of one episode the Bunny, Mr.Floppy, receives a letter from an angry viewer saying how his show is a rip-off of Married with Children. The Bunny then goes ballistic and starts explaining how Unhappily Ever After is different from Married with Children. The irony here is that this moment was written by a writer who wrote for both shows. LMAO).
Can't rip off your own show, stupid! Unhappily ever after was created by the black co-creator of Married with children and had many of the same producers and writers! Therefore it wasn't a rip off!!!!
I only know That 80'S Show exists because Fox tried to sue me over making my own version of it
Vee Infuso: Nobody should even know this exists!
Me: *Didn't know this existed* "Hey, a Vee Infuso Video about ---"

Also friends is not thats 90s show!!!!
@@caronte008 no it isn't lol
Friends was literally about the 90s in the 90s it is that 90s show.
This whole show smacks of the network saying "We want another That 70s Show!" and the creators being like, "Meh, we don't really want to do that, but they're offering a lot of money, so whatever." This show had absolutely no substance and was trying to get by on "The 80s, amirite?" It's not a surprise it was canceled so quickly.
Can't wait until my grandkids tell me all about "that 20s show" spoiler alert, I hear the world ends during the finale.
I graduated in 1989' & I can tell you; the 80's was nothing like this. This show is trying to force the 80"s down your throat.
It was trying to force something, but it was like someone's cliche / ridiculous-stereotypical idea of the 80's.
i lost all interest in that 80s show when i found out that the characters from that 70s show wouldnt carry over and that they barely if at all exist in the same universe
Chyler Leigh is pretty hot though
When this was on, that's why I watched. Liberty spikes and all.
I was going to say the same except was gonna use "incandescently beautiful". It's like she glows

@@jaycievictory8461 on a scale 1-10 how mad are you? It's the truth. I was only speaking facts. That's why I said MOST not all. It's why women hate younger women.
It's funny because the 80's era has so much potential. The 80's is a thematic scenario all in itself. The music, the movies, the tv shows. Even for people who didn't live in the 80's like me. So when i see some comments like "the show is too eighties for my taste", i can't understand that. That's a quality for me.
I think one of the biggest things that 70's show had was it's relatability. It was probably written by people who put their own experiences in there because when it came out I remember everyone in my parent's generation saying that it was exactly how they were when they were younger and what it was like to live in the 70's. So as the younger generation it was interesting to get immersed in the era through the characters. I think that 80's show could've worked if they had done similarly.
I remember i was actually excited for this "New Coke" of a Tv show. watched 1 episode. EDIT: i was born in 83 & absolutely hated it,so its not generational, it just sucked ass.
Same here; I was born in 74, grew up mainly an 80s kid, I watched 2 episodes and gave up. It could have been so much better, if it just had good writers...
Me too
@Jay Anthony if u say so
@Jay Anthony Even tho it only accounts for 7 of my 37 years on this earth the 80's were actually a huge part of my life, when many life-defining moments took place. i have just as much nostalgia for the 80s as i do the 90s if not more.
@Jay Anthony bitch you dont fucking know me so shut the fuck up
I actually watched every episode when it aired.... shakes head
I loved this show. I recorded it on vhs, popped it on dvd and now have it on digital. Unfortunately I guess only me and my wife are fans. But hey, we like it, It's fun.
@Etxenike great show watched all when it was on fox and now still watch it now every once in a while
I'm there with you sometimes I watch all in one sitting
Being a child of the 80's I liked this show. But I can see why others don't get the references.
I was born in 99 and just discovered this show today. I binge watched the whole series and definitely wish there was more. Especially after that last scene we get with Corey and Tuesday
I seem to remember liking it, but I only got to watch a few episodes. I suspect that it's like the other shows in that it does take a bit to warm to what's going on.
I’ve watched this through twice as an adult and have fond memories of watching This when it was new because my parents were similar age to the people in this show and forced me to watch it. Since watching it as an adult I know it’s bad, and neatolgia probably clouds my judgement, but I do still find enjoyment watching it.
This show probably would have worked better in the 2010s when 80s nostalgia was at an all-time high.

Married... With Children
Roseanne

That's all I can think about.
Lucas Hackett
Family Matters died for me when they moved to CBS & changed Harriet
Dean Jackson Recasting Harriet was unforgivable. That actress made that role irreplaceable
Married With Children never died.
Family Matters when they changed Harriet, and same for Aunt Vee in Fresh Prince, Married With Children started getting stale probably around the time Buck died and they replaced him with the little white dog. But it was like having a baby on a sitcom. Buck was every bit a part of the Bundys as anyone on that show and even had his own lines and his own episodes(the new dog did too but it was testament that they forced too much of Buck's personality on the wrong dog) and they probably could have just done without the new dog and just not replace him. I'd love to see Vee watch Roseanne and the horrible final season when they all get rich and the atrocious new show they have.

It's happening now. They're written the script and filming it right now.
It's pretty good.
It was the drug references that kept that seventy show going as the drug references kept an underculture highlighted that no one else in any show for decades was willing to show. The 80's was hit hard with super strict religious censors after 1984 . Tapes breakdancing , old shool rap neon colors where the big deal in those times , and the most popular . In fact that 80's show should have had a black actor as that was the beginning of the rise of the the rich african era . In fact I would go so far as to say that 80's show already exists . It is called THE FRESH PRINCE .

I had a friend who had never really watched That 70s Show and she was asking me why it was set in the 70s if it wasn't *really* about the 70s, she thought it was dumb because they could have just set the show in present times. This is what I feel like led to the creation of That 80s Show, too many people who said "what's the point if it's not ABOUT the 80s?!" And we were both English majors, I really can't believe she couldn't get it. (Same friend told me that she wouldn't enjoy shows like Seinfeld and 30 Rock because "that was New York humor," while she had California humor; she did end up watching 30 Rock and loved it, which I always told her she would.) I remember watching an episode of this when it came out, but I can't even tell you if I watched the full episode, it was so bad. One thing this universe did right was kill That 80s Show so Dennis Reynolds could live.
Pausing the video a minute in : I knew the 80’s show existed, I watched an episode, maybe 2, when it aired, and it’s been blacklisted and confined to the abyss section of my brain ever since. I recall it being total dogshit... let’s find out
Edit : yup, sounds about right 🤣 let’s go ahead and file this back into the brain abyss...
BTW Vee, the name Geoff is generally pronounced Jeff, it’s just an old world spelling 😝
Geoffrey
They performed Friends with live audience for almost every scene, so the laugh is genuine, natural and different for every joke. Maybe that is why it bothers you less than a lough track they play in those other shows. Also: Friends was for the most part funny ;)
I was raised on Hogan's Heroes, Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, and I Love Lucy so the laugh track was something ingrained into the watching experience.
I like that It's Always Sunny is just That 00's Show and nobody told anybody.
Caricature
“Who invented the English language ? Screw that I'm going to Canada to learn french!.
”
English has over 30 thousand French loanwords due to the Norman conquest, CARICATURE being one of them.
The more you know lol
French folk in France think Canadian French is pretty sad.
Fun fact: The actress who played Tuesday is the sister of the actor who played Andros, the Red Space Ranger from Power Rangers In Space. So she has a history of being related to super heroes. lol
She was also on Grey's anatomy as lexie grey, Meredith's sister
2:46 Oh thank god! Grounded For Life is on after this crap #salvation
NSNOfm78 that show was incredibly under appreciated
We're in a TV show???
@@PowerGlove79 It is. Fox gave up on it too soon. This was the dark ages of FOX after the Titus debacle & it seemed like no matter what decision that network made from 2002-2005 it was the wrong one.
As an '80s teen I remember being excited when this was advertised for the fall of the year. Turned out to be quite a disappointment. You are very right It was a lot of '80s cliches thrown in with no real storyline.
I honestly think they nailed it with this show. The only difference is you only had to suffer through 13 episodes while the rest of us suffered through an entire decade.
🤣🤣😂😂😅😅
Agreed the 80s was overrated.
"This is just as new for you as it is for me"
Actually, I very much remember watching That 80s Show when it debuted.
I watched a lot of FOX shows that went down the drain, which is why one of my favorite lines in Family Guy is Peter going down the list of shows that came out and were cancelled in the time that Family Guy was off the air.
I did too. I loved FOX back in the 90s and 2000s and watched almost everything they farted out.
Didn't even know this existed until now. Life was better back then
OMFG DENNIS 😂😂😂😂 i watched at least one episode of this show as a kid, but now i really wanna watch this show for Dennis lol
Thank you SO much for making this video! I saw this show when I was 6 or 7, and for YEARS I've tried to figure out what show had that crazy spikey haired girl was from! You sir have finally answered that question for me. I know you just tore it to pieces, but I kinda want to see it just once as an adult.
The problem is we already had that 80s show with all the 80s sitcoms.
Did you really just pronounce Geoff as "Jioff?" It's pronounced Jeff.
Also, he was on "Life" and "Unhappily Ever After".
Geoff Pierson was the perfect dick in "Grace Under Fire" You just WANT to believe he redeemed himself...
Its pronounced "Gee off" Im sure people wouldnt be so stupid to spell Jeff with a G and an O
@@danathepowerful Are you serious?
@@ChaingunCassidy Hahahaha
Call me crazy, but I think a "That's 90s Show" would work now.
Anyway, not trying to defend this pile of garbage, but the other show also had caricatures...remember freaking Leo?
That 70s show was awesome
Though honestly on that 80's show all the characters were caricatures to some degree of the 80's. Also Leo was not one of the main characters. So they had ONE character that was a 70's hippie caricature. And admittedly there were a few other side characters that were pretty much stereotypes too, but it wasn't every single character and all the background people too. It was just peppered in. As he described it as face fucking you with the 80's whereas That 70's show just kinda gave you a light fingering.
You ever seen that movie, "Kids"? That pretty much does it for me as far as 90's. That and "The Wackness"
The thing about references is that they have to be used sparingly.
Otherwise you're the Captain Marvel of references, and no one wants that.
I understood that reference
The Big Red Cheese!
That '80s Show couldn't have failed...because of the implication.
It tried too hard, like you said, about shoving the fact it was in the 80's. In That 70's Show, they made it as if it really was in the 70's, naturally. That 70's Show focused on characters that everyone could relate to no matter what decade they were from, but 80's show was mostly about 80's clichés and washed out characters.
“THIS SHOW DESTROYED ME!” 😭😭😭😭
I honestly thought that 80s show was some sort of fever dream. Everyone I would talk to never heard of it. They thought I was talking about that 70s show. But damn I remembered it not being good. But now I wish it was actually a fever dream
I remember hating this show when it premiered, but in order for me to continue to find any joy, my brain erased my memory of this show.
Like my experience of watching Eraser Head.
The only way that 80s show would have worked was if the whole cast including Eric from that 70s show came back for it and the orginal story continued it was just doomed to fail
Eric and friends f should comeback for that 2000's show about their kids
i honestly love the show. i grew up in l.a. in the 80s. i knew these cliches. and the "theme song" is an actual song..written in..you guessed it, the 80s. stick to what you know.
Sad part, this could’ve been good if written correctly
I didn't know that this was an actual thing. I love learning!!
VEE INFUSO 4 LIFE!!
You're lucky lol
@Michael Salter CALM UP!!! WOOOO!!
@Disobedient One Perhaps
Nothing clever to say... this show was ass. That is all.
I graduated high school in 1985. That 70's Show reminded me of growing up in the 70's. Pop culture stuff and some social issues of the time. Many of the things the kids went through were still in effect while I was was in high school. Some things didn't change for years. 80's Show was like written like a music video that MTV played 10 times a day. 80's Should of had a connection to 70'S Show but didn't. Eric's sister should of had her own series. The show could of focused on a young woman out on her own in early 80's Chicago or some other city.
That 70s show had a correct feel, That 80s Show was not at all like the 80s.
I hate a Laugh track, it screams a show that isn’t confident in its comedy.
No matter how good the show may be, if it has a Laugh Track, it’s not for me to see.
The great Lily Singh once said “If you don’t laugh the people at home wont think it’s funny!”
I LOVE laugh tracks, but that's mostly cause I grew up on classic shows with laugh tracks!
That 70's show was filmed with a live studio audience. Not laugh tracks.
Every "live studio audience" show has a laugh track
They should do a That 90's show. Wait they DID. It's called Dawson's Creek.
"If you are a children"
I was having a bad morning and I saw your video and it made me feel better. I liked learning about this and it’s nice to see you’re an always sunny fan. I’m glad you made this video and I’m sorry you had a hard time doing it.
I think the real reason why that 80s show failed was because people didn't come into it with an open mind, instead expected it to be some reboot of that 70s show .... If u treated it as a seperate entity it's actually pretty good ... Sure not one of the best sitcoms out there but definitely a watchable show with a pretty decent plot point...the whole Cory/Tuesday dynamic was actually really entertaining. Just know if your going to compare it with its predecessor that 70s show or any high standard show like friend's, you've already thought of it as failed. ... I've seen shows with worse writing and sketches this isn't that bad.. it wasn't a "disaster". Honestly if you'd give it a chance and watch it with an open mind, it works..
Any show that still has a laugh track is crap.
Seinfeld had a laugh track, that show is legendary
@@ogre_enterprises9398
Laugh tracks were commonplace when Seinfeld aired. Unfortunately, I tried to get into Seinfield well after it originally aired, and couldn't get past the laugh track.
@@ogre_enterprises9398 seinfield was filmed in front of a live audience
So weird. Looking up that 90's show I found this gem on Google. Like wtf is THIS?! 😂 No wonder I never heard of it before. Only 1 ep into that 90's show and it's so good already. I can tell it's gonna be awesome. Especially with them starring the old cast 🖤🖤🖤👏🏼
I had the complete opposite experience. I survived 3 or 4 episodes of 90s Show and could not continue because of the horribly written dialogues and the kids actors, it's just really really bad, Kitty and Red are the only ones saving it, but they can't really carry the whole series. So I went and had a look and the 80s Show which I completely missed and I actually watched the whole 13 episodes in few days and I really enjoyed it. It's definitely not perfect with 70s Show being just another level which you can't compare, but I'm a sucker for 80s so all the references actually made it more enjoyable for me (look Wonder Woman 2 , take example from this!!) and also Chyler Leigh as Tuesday is pure gold and the chemistry with Corey reminds me so much of Jackie and Hyde's dynamics
Actually I heard of That 80's Show but it sucked so bad that I completely forgot about the show until UA-cam are talking about it.
You're not kidding about being young: you're so young you don't even know that "Geoff" is pronounced the same as "Jeff". It's amazing getting into my 30's and seeing young people experiencing the world I'm already familiar with through fresh eyes. I love how you narrated this UA-cam video as if you paid good money for "That 80's Show" and they won't give you a refund, instead of watching the show for your monetized UA-cam channel. That was a good choice. I was born in the 80's and this future is really weird, but good luck kid.
I’m 27
Jeez. Coming off a little cranky and judgemental 😞
Wow a lot of malice in this comment, are you alright? I hope you just had an off day and this isn’t your natural attitude towards people.
I loved That 70s Show and i remember hearing about this show back when it first aired and really getting excited for it because I was born in the early 80s so I do have some pretty fond memories and a curious obsession with the decade(Side note, *The Goldbergs* is by far the best sitcom to do it). Unfortunately, before it premiered I had moved out on my own, to a new city and didn't have cable so I never got to see it. Then I read it was cancelled after 13 episodes. Boner killed 😆!
For all of us 8 people who looked forward to this show back in the early 2000’s, we never got passed through 3rd episode.
"I don't know the 80's"
"I hate"
"I don't find it funny"
"looks like MY dog"
"I was born later"
"I like this and not that"
"I don't get the reference"
"I can't pronounce a basic word"
"me me me me me me me me..."
sounds like the voice mail bit was a better joke than anything in that show.
Nothing was gonna be a good ripoff or spinoff of That 70s Show.
That 80s show, I saw mostly all the episodes. It was crap, The Goldbergs is a good 80s theme show.
I loved that 70s show, never heard of that 80s show. But always sunny is by far my favorite show ever.
