No. But in the third episode she drove Gwen and friends to the mall and Gwen called her mom as she sat with them at the food court.

The elementary school I went too was once a high school, on the walls they had class photos form the sixty's or seventies. For some reason they did look older than I remember high school teens looking.
edit: Or, are the actual actors younger than the original actors were at the time?

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Mila Kunis was 14 when she did That 70's Show Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher was 20 and the others was 18.
The new kids are between 13-15

I am on ep 9 and she had a conversation with her kids and Kitty. I wonder why they kind of hid this in the show. Her being their mother is really glossed over. They hardly mention it. Showing her being their mother would make her character more interesting IMO.
Anyways, this show progressively becomes more like the original with each episode. Episode 9 has been really funny so far.

Has there ever been a successful tv show set in the 90’s? It’s just a weird decade where once you get past 92/93 it really felt like nothing drastically changed for us younger people. (Being from small town near bigger cities). Most people I knew didn’t have internet until 99, fashion was basically t-shirts and slightly baggy jeans, working out started to catch on more, and know one was anticipating Columbine shootings yet. Maybe it was vastly different for kids in other parts of the country

Really? I personally thought they made it pretty clear numerous times she was their mother.
Anyway, watched it all in one go. I thought it OK, better than the last season of the 70s Show at least. Really the thing that irked me the most was the orginal characters seemly not growing at all, especially Michael and Jackie. And is Jay suppose to be their kid? They really never mention if Jackie is the mother and no mention at all of his sister.

Well, Kelso and Jackie are Kelso and Jackie. Forces of nature really. Did you really expect them to evolve? They are literary the pretty couple everyone has in their social circle.

I was more referring to a show that took place in the 90’s once they were over (example: filming took place in 2000’s-2022)

I watched 5 episodes, and... Nope. It sucks. the original characters are ok and faithful to the 70s show, the rest is just dumb, specially the Asian gay kid, that's straight up from the 20s (2020) not the 90s, and he is not even funny... None of them really are. It's a show desperate to show forced inclusion without any effort on being funny.
Then there is stuff like one moment the large kid is fine, then his lips are all messed up from "too much kissing" and minutes later he is fine again (on the same day in the show).
I'm done, no interest in watching the rest of it.

I watched the show and find the kids insufferable imo. Ozzie is probably the worse since he's supposed to be the fez of the group but is terrible at it. They can completely remove him from the show and nothing would really change actually.
The only good things about the show was the old casts and the 90s throwback.

People have good memories of shows, and then they bring them back and make the focus on their kids. I don't understand it, because that's not the reason people interested in the original program want to watch. Most of these shows should instead write what fans want to see, which is the characters they watched now raising their children and living their lives as adults. Raymond had it right from the first season, and that wasn't even a returning show.

You mean current show set in 90s?
Otherwise Seinfeld dude! Like the greatest show ever and quintessential 90s?
Edit- saw your second post later. Yeah I think 90s were too recent for a throwback show to be created? Dunno.

We are actually further out from the 90s time period than That 70s show was from the mid 70s. We old.

Haha yeah I realized that later on. Time flies!
Also, there was a show in 70s about 50s (Happy Days) and a show in 90s about 70s (70s show) but nothing in 2010s about 90s. At least not well known. Most of our nostalgic media is still set in 80s.
80s is the best setting. Its developed enough to resemble our modern life but sufficiently behind in technology to allow for suspension of disbelief. I really want more scifi stories which are based on an 80s vision of the future.
