We all know that That 70s Show is great, but do you think they can pull off "That 80s Show"?

I think not. Any time they try to build off of the success of another show, it fails miserably. I hope they do it some justice because it's a great premise. I just don't have much faith in TV producers.

i think it'll suck.they should just keep 70s going until it hits the 80s and just change the name, not a new show.new show+same idea as old good show=(usually)bad show

and to get an expert opinion, ikea, comment?

it has a shot, but it will probably depend on how 'wacky' they try to make it

I saw a commercial for it and the punk girl just cracked me up.

I dunno if it'll be any good or not though..

I don't watch much tv...they're making a "That 80s Show"?? I grew up in the 80s so I'd probably think it was hysterical. But then again, I liked "Joe Dirt", so I guess I shouldn't really comment.

i like that 70s show but i agree, from commercials from That 80s show I don't think it has the comic/staying power of That 70s Show. I don't think it could last

I would love to see That 80's show do great in the ratings, becuase I grew up in the 80's, but like someone else said, a lot of spinoffs of other shows fail miserably.. kind of like joanie loves chachie. so i think it will last maybe a season or 2

That 80s show was great when it was first on the air. They called it Square Pegs.

I loved the 80s
I think girls in flourescent are hot.
Ditto leg warmers, cut up sweats, and head bands.
I think 5$ videos on MTV were cool.
I think I Melt With You is one of the greatest songs ever.
I loved the Talking Heads, Psychedlic Furs, Ramones, Devo, (early) B52s.
But that's just me.

I think the show will be unrealistic and way over the top parody.

I'd like to see the show do well, and I always love watching stuff about the bizarre years I was born in, but I'm iffy on the reality of it living up to That 70's Show.

This makes no sense. Just because you grew up in the 80s doesn't mean that the show won't suck complete ass.

so instead of sitting in their basement smoking pot, do they sit in their basement and snort lines? i think it'll tank. i can't wait for Dice's Colliseum show to premiere and blow all these terrible shows out of the water...


Barber, get this mirror cleaned. I'm troubled by this face I see before me. As you shave our nation's face, keep a steady hand. Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land... Weild a spade! Ready the blade! Sacrifices must be made! There are many fools who dare propose imposing limits on my power. Those ungrateful who've been swayed by intellectuals in their ivory towers... they will pay for crimes that God and I will not allow. Some before the firing squad and some behind the plow... Weild a spade! Barber, get this mirror cleaned. I'm troubled by the face I see before me. Be careful not to miss a whisker, soon I face my people who adore me. As you shave our nation's face, keep a steady hand. Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land. Weild a spade! Ready the blade! Sacrifices must be made! Barber, you've done very well. Much cleaner now the mirror's telling no lies. I know I'm not imagining the telltale glint of death I see in your eyes. I can't trust you, so I must do something with my knife. It's a shame to lose a damn good barber... but that's life. Weild a spade! Ready the blade! Sacrifices must be made!

I think it will suck based solely on the lack of originality. I've got an idea!! How about "That 90's Show"!!! Or, "That 00's Show"!!! (Or 'Ott's', as John Madden would say) Gimme a fuckin' break......

What was the "message" when Hyde made pot brownies and the parents got high? Oh, that people are funny when they are high?

Everything has a message, it's all in how you interpret it.

The message in this post is quite obvious, to me. But, I wrote it. So that only makes sense.

I meant that I don't really expect them to focus on the coke thing. Pot is more accepted for comedy than coke.

I loved That 70's show, and I hope 80's will do good. But just like in movies, sequels usually suck. And I have a feeling this won't be as good as 70's, we'll just have to watch and find out...

I came accross this from CKCO Ent. in.. Canada?
quote:

The series will premiere on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23 at 8 p.m. E.T.

"That 80's Show" follows the lives of a group of twenty-somethings finding their way through the '80s in San Diego, CA. The show is set in 1984 and focuses on Corey (Glenn Howerton) and Katie (Tinsley Grimes), who live with their dad RT (Geoff Pierson) and Corey's friend Roger (Eddie Chin). Corey is a creative soul who is trying to make it in the music world in a decade that only appreciates financial success. Although his father, RT, is a successful professional who's about to strike gold with his Gut Whacker and ride the '80s fitness marketing craze wave, Corey finds it difficult to get in the game. On the other hand, Corey's friend Roger idolizes Ronald Reagan and listens to motivation tapes while trying to work his way into corporate America. The household is rounded out by Corey's younger sister Katie, a chip off the old block who's sweetness and naiveté make her the perfect go between for her father and brother.
Sophia (Brittany Daniel), Corey's ex, is a beautiful "grab all that I can" kind of girl who doesn't like to limit her choices. She breaks up with Corey to explore other avenues and relationships ...all types of relationships. Corey's one safe haven is Permanent Record, the music store where he works for Margaret (Margaret Smith), a woman who lived through the summer of love and emerged with quite a few stories (and a rash). But things change for Corey when he's forced to deal with the new girl, Tuesday (Chyler Leigh), a punk rocker who sports a Mohawk and attitude to match.
