Best of 2023 TV Shows #12: That 90s Show (NETFLIX)*

Nice to know 4 years ago when 90s nostalgia began the reboot wave was also in full swing. So it makes sense that this years runner up for best new show cashes in on both aspects.

Returning to a basement in southern Wisconsin 15 years after a group of 6 owned the place.

July 1995, Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti arrive to visit his parents for the Fourth of July weekend. In tow is their own daughter the aptly named Leia.

While bored Leia shoots hoops and ends up connecting with the current occupant of her mom’s former room Gwen Runck.

Befriending her she would also come to know her half brother Nate and a new circle of friends.

Nate’s other half Nikki, who more than makes up for his shortcomings.

Ozzie who shows his chops with tech and has more than his fair share of moments.

And Jay Kelso son of Michael and surprisingly Jackie Burkhart who have divorced twice within 15 years. A clever combo of his mom’s brains and dad’s charm.

When Leia ends up staying with Red and Kitty for the summer 10 weeks of 90s style 70s show mishaps would follow suit.

Including Gwen and Nate’s mom Sherri who takes Bobs spot as the persistent neighbor that ends up connecting with Fez.

Bob himself joining Leias 15th birthday.

And even Leo who clues the new gang in on a 90s family classic.

What nostalgia props up is supported by a rich storyline that sees Ozzie bond with Kitty, Leia grow close with Jay, and a new generation of circle action in the basement.

It may be linked to its past but does forge its own way forward while setting things up for an interesting future.

1996 sure has its moments including a possible trip to New Orleans for Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXI.

Let’s see if it’ll take them.

SUM 22: Once again hanging out down the street, That 90s Show proves its forebears legacy as the runner up for 2023s Best New Show

as part of the getting-worse-before-it-gets-better portion of aziraphale and crowley's season 3 relationship arc we NEED a desperate "i love you" from aziraphale met with a hissed, spiteful, and quickly regretted "i forgive you" from crowley

If I did ever write kid PJO verse, Drew would absolutely be Piper’s sister who is about 4 years older than her and partakes in cartoon bully behavior most of the time, but the police were called to their neighborhood one time because someone was messing with Piper and Drew bit them so fucking hard.

i keep doing wednesday things and then remembering it's only tuesday or strawberries

last night i dreamt that i had furniture arranged in the shape of a home in a gap between the grimy cubicle walls of an aging office building. the people who still worked there wanted me gone. i had overstayed my welcome if i had ever belonged at all. they kept rearranging the walls to eliminate parts of my home, making it smaller and smaller and smaller, but they never drove me out completely and eventually i found out why

frog documentation. frogcumentation

I think I mentioned a while back I'd post nibling frog momence after the gift's done given. which happened on the 2nd this month I just forgot lmao. anyways we can do it now. I used the boigameista pattern scaled up to four pieces of A4 print paper and decided to double deck it to a two layer thing, not unlike a pillow, for ease of washin. because it was gonna be gifted to a one year old child

took a long time and made a number of mistakes bc hand sewing makes me worse as a person but this guy was done in time for the birthday occasion and that's what matters. chose non-fuzzy fabrics for it because we live in a dense city in the tropics and from personal experience if I hug something made of fur I would explode. the original plan included felt patterns on its back for bonus textures for baby but that wouldn't stretch well along with the rest of the thing so had to hold that back. eventually we got this

zipper across its ass, the coat type of zipper bc I miscalculated when ordering. but it did have a shape and that's all that matters to me. will be a fun game for the baby to grow up and be severely misinformed about what a frog looks like

happy extremely late birthday to this thing also

I have this idea in my head where there’s like a small town where me and the gang live in with some of our other friends and like it’s kinda like fish city but it’s not a city it’s just a little town or maybe it is a city and we all live in the same neighborhood idk but I really do wanna world build and like I just rlly wanna design a neighborhood where we live in grrr 💔💔💔

I always get detained at da border because PROFUNC never ended but basically I'm like if a targeted individual didn't even care

modern au dad askeladd except he's not an actual dad but this random kid shows up to his house every day and tries to have beef over the closed food store askeladd bought and turned into an antiquarian store. turns out the food store used to be run by the kid's father until he passed away which is very sad of course but also askeladd is not gonna cooperate with some brat that borderline harasses him day by day. only that he can't call the cops because he kinda has a turbulent past and if they find out he's filling his store with stolen goods it's gonna become a huge problem. and note to destiny, the stupid kid finding out is not that great either because now he has to hear it out if he doesn't wanna go to prison and also he should probably learn the demon child's name while he's at it. shenanigans ensue.

No shame smh

AU where Beanix gets more involved in the criminal world during the dark age of the law and becomes buds with Viola which accidentally makes him chill in the eyes of the Italian mafia and that makes his reputation a little more interesting

they cannot

they cannot just be casually implying that the viper isn't just next in line to be imperial divine, but that he straight up wholeass is the imperial divine

there is NO reasonable way that works

what dean looks like in the good post-canon that lives in our heads: bedazzled hot pink sweats that say "JUICY" on the ass, muscle shirt, busted nike high tops, trashy tattoo of a cartoon angel in a heart on his left shoulder, fanny pack full of snacks and knives and weed and his old flip phone, wedding ring.
