And nothing of value was lost

It was such a bad show. Old jokes rehashed, jokes involving -hey, you are from the original show, or just bad attempts at -well you are old- jokes. Plus everyone felt like a stereotype. Stop making all gay characters just sassy, they have other attributes.

Am I having deja vu? I swear this happened years ago.

You're probably thinking of That 80s Show, which also was cancelled very quickly

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If 80s show had been a hit, we never would have gotten It's always Sunny in Philadelphia

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 6 points 11 months ago

It's Always Sunny is much more appropriate for the timeline we wound up in

This can only mean one thing. That 2000's slated for 2025 release.

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You are correct

They should've been given a season to wrap shit up with a Y2k episode and then end the whole thing with a family trip to see the WTC on 9/11

I'm only sad that there will be no more Kitty, Red & Donna. The series was quite meh. Someone needed a foot up their ass.

I loved Red ever since I saw him blow off a man's hand with a shotgun blast, in Robocop. Is he a bad guy now? Do we cancel him?

Did Topher Grace do something shitty as well?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago

Not that I know of. There were 'rumors' that he was a diva on set but it sounded made up like all the other Hollywood gossip trash. He was in the first season of That 90's Show.

It wasn’t a great show, but the last season seemed to be settling into the swing of things. Disappointed that this is the end this - this show filled a nostalgic void in my life. Keyword says they’re gonna try to shop the show but I’d be surprised to see anyone pick it up at this point..

Season 3 aka season 2 part 2 was the only season directed by Laura Prepon (Donna) and it was the only season that felt true to the original series.

I think if they'd started with Prepon, it would've been more successful.

Looking forward to the eventual attempt at a 'That '00s Show' in a few years

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

That translates to a two-season run

You don't say.
