That 90s Show does have a few things that feel forced or cheesy. But overall in my opinion, it's a good show. I think quite a few of the negative reviews are expected due to early days and the show trying to find its footing. However I think these are from a lot of people who are expecting an exact perfect replication of how good the original was. I have faith that this show will improve.
Being born at the start of the 90s, I loved the styles and references they showed so far. Tugs at my childhood (here's hoping they do a Star Wars Ep 1 reference later, Eric's reaction will be priceless!) The new cast look promising, all of whom are unique and fun to watch (though I'm not sold yet on Ozzie - kinda acts like a smarter, but bland Fez). Having Kitty and Red back keeps me going on this show. Hope we get a season 2
