That ’90s Show is now streaming on Netflix, and the sequel series is getting fairly decent reviews. Currently, the show is up on Rotten Tomatoes with a 73% critics score and a 78% audience score. ComicBook.com gave That ’90s Show a 3 out of 5, saying the series is “cute and it’s worth checking out, but it’s not going to go down in history as one of the stronger sitcom reboots.” The biggest draw of the new series is getting to see most of the original show’s stars again. Debra Jo Rupp (Kitty Forman) and Kurtwood Smith (Red Forman) are both series regulars in the reboot, and Topher Grace (Eric Forman), Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti), Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso), Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart), Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), Tommy Chong (Leo), and Don Stark (Bob Pinciotti) all make appearances.

He continued, “One that we do now every time before a live taping is we all put our hands together and on the count of three, we shout our favorite line from the episode and raise our hands up. And apparently, that was a tradition that they did for all eight seasons of ’70s Show. And they brought us in on that, which was just so, so surreal to be in a circle with all of these people that I’ve grown up watching… It was really cool.”
