That '80s Show

2002 · 1 season

A breezy, joke-filled trip back to the 1980s, light on plot and heavy on nostalgia and easy laughs.

Overview: That '80s Show is an American sitcom that aired from January through May 2002. Despite having a similar name, show structure, and many of the same writers and production staff, it is not considered a direct spin-off of the more successful That '70s Show. The characters and storylines from both shows never crossed paths. It was a separate decade-based show created because of That '70s Show's popularity at the time.
How it feels: Light, satirical, whimsical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, love, work, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
