Sadly Over-hyped

Instant Favorite.

Good movie but grossly overrated

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The team that brought us "That '70s Show" gives us "That '80s Show". It makes poetic sense if not in the real sense. They never understood that the audience wasn't watching it for the 70s style as much as for the group's chemistry. That show had fun which this one never achieved.Whereas the 70s group was always together hanging out, the 80s group had different story lines. It's 1984 San Diego. Corey (Glen Howerton) and Katie (Tinsley Grimes) live with their Dad RT and Corey's friend Roger (Eddie Shin). Also staring Chyler Leigh, and Brittany Daniel. The group never could bond together.It seems that they missed the lesson of what makes a good TV show. Simply making fun of everything 80's is not enough. Strip it all away, the story and the characters underneath the nostalgia must stand on it's own. Clearly it did not.

I don't know what everyone's problem is. This show is hilarious! You won't be disappointed. My brother and I started watching last week and we can't get enough! Just because it isn't the same thing as that 70's show doesn't mean it's not funny, you people have to realize they are two different shows. The Asian guys so funny, and the record store owner is great! Give this show a chance for real! Not too sure why this has to be ten lines because I can make a review as long as I want. I'm just writing this last part to fill in the extra lines! Lines lines lines so many lines why must i write so many lines double spacing so many lines oh my god so many lines i just don't know anymore like come on

Doesn't really have that good old feeling' like in That '70s show, but still it's kinda good. I've watched all the That '70s show episodes and thats why i tried this. At first i didn't really like it, but later it got good. If you liked That '70s show you should try it and don't just sit and say "Wow that doesn't really have all that good stuff That '70s show had" just try to forget that when you watch it.Wow looking back on the comment i saw that i had probably talked more about That '70s show than That '80s show.I hope you found this comment helpful. :DPeace out :)

In Holland I've seen first that 80's show. I loved it. Good laughs, nice plots etc. After that, I watched somewhere else that 70's show. After two episodes I was bored and quit watching. In my opinion no humor, weak plots bad acting. So, if there were to make more episodes of that 80's, I'like that. Just the relation between Corey and June is so unlikely, that even that is funny in itself. I loved the series. Maybe the Dutch (or my personal opinion) is different from the American humor. Maybe this is such a series in which America in the 80's is presented as we in Europe picture it. After all, in Holland we do not all walk in wooden shoes, smoking drugs, and live in windmills, but that's the picture most Americans have from Holland, this is about the picture I've from America in the 80's (which is a wrong picture; I know!)
