7. That ‘70s Show Gets A Reboot Titled That ‘90s Show

After more than 20 years of its release, That ’70s Show gets a spin-off called That ’90s Show! With ten episodes, the new series will have Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp reprise their roles as Red and Kitty Forman. They will play grandparents to Leia Forman, who visits Wisconsin in the summer of 1995 and connects with a new generation of Point Place kids. As of now, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunnis haven’t confirmed their presence but as fans of the couple since the day we watched the OG show, we’re totally rooting for them to make it to the reboot! Fingers crossed.
