I remember the 90s....but I don't remember them being "woke" or "inclusive" in any way. Quite the opposite frankly. Maybe they can do a racially inclusive sitcom that takes place in pre civil war Mississippi next!

I mean, Bridgerton is pretty close.

So you're saying there couldn't possibly have been a friend group like this in Wisconsin in the 90s

Fresh Prince of Belair was about a very unlikely rich black family in very much caucasian Belair in the 90s. But it worked because it served to tell an interesting and pertinent story with a stellar casting.

In That 90s Show you can tell the casting was about diversity checkmarks and not telling a good story or hiring the best actors. You can tell because the actors are awful. Sorry kids. It feels forced and cringey.

No, I'm saying the dialogue is tailored for gen z, not accuracy.

The amount of times they said “bro” in the first two episodes made my ears bleed.

And this is different than That 70s show... how? Because that was most certainly tailored to its target audience.
