Quotes:

Corey Howard: What am I supposed to do, huh? Live in a dump and drink out of bug candles the rest of my life? You know what I ought to tell her tomorrow at work? Done. Forget it. It's over. Because if she rejects my family, she rejects me.
Roger: What is this, Godfather III?

Movie Connections:

Spin off from "That '70s Show" (1998)

The 80s were good to me, this show was not

I was shocked when I heard they were coming up with a show called "That 80s Show". I love "That 70s Show", and wasn't sure if I'd like "That 80s Show". I kept thinking they were bringing this in just to replace "That 70s Show" when that show ends. I was wrong. "That 80s Show" was pure crap. Pure crap. Sure I liked that Tuesday character (was it Tuesday, Thursday? Some day). Yes, she was the punk rock chick with an attitude... yay. But the storyline was not as good as "That 70s Show" at all, and the cast of "That 80s Show" was not that great at all. I love the cast of "That 70s Show". Anyway, I was born in the 80s, and it's great to see a show about the time period I was born, but it wasn't that great. Glad to see it went off the air. Oh yeah, when are they doing a "That 90s Show"? Heh.
