If the show hadn't been canceled, what storylines/things would you have liked to see?
I would have liked a mention of the backstreet boys or britney, and some graduation or prom episode since it seemed they were going to show us the school year of leia and the others.
Oh what we could have had 😔, damn you Netflix
In a hypothetical third season of That '90s Show, I wanted to see:
Leia adapting to school/life in Point Place - whether she was at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow, or PP High
Some holiday episodes, since the show wouldn't need to be set only during the summer anymore! Thanksgiving or Christmas? Why not both!
Donna (and in my ideal world, Eric) continuing to make guest appearances and have storylines with Leia and Kitty/Red. I would like to see a Donna-Sherri friendship, too!
I think Leia/Jay's relationship would be tense and unstable throughout the season (due to the trust eroded between them in the S2 finale) and would completely fracture by the end of the season. Leaving open a new possibility/cliffhanger... *cough* Geia *cough*
Season 3 would be set in the fall of 1996 or in 1997. We could've had:
The Spice Girls! (I know that Ozzie was trying to win tickets in that one episode but I mean like true SpiceMania, which peaked in '97)
The gals going to Lilith Fair 🪷
Tupac's death (feel like Jay would be performatively deeply affected)
Mention of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan, they had their iconic run in the late '90s and were e v e r y w h e r e
Packers won the Super Bowl in '97. Would have been a fun episode.
Titanic, Men In Black, Austin Powers, LA Confidential all came out in '97. I want more silly fantasy sequences, damn it!
Friends was in its hayday
The kids would watch Nickelodeon and MTV, and play Nintendo 64 all day
An episode of Leia getting herself into a pickle on an AOL chatroom
Ozzie accidentally kills his Tamogotchi and they have a funeral for it
Princess Diana died in August '97. Kitty would be devastated.
If the show had continued beyond that, you're right, I would have loved a Britney-inspired fantasy sequence (she was THE sex symbol of the time) and some Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC discourse!
It feels like the infatuation with the '90s is kind of peaking right now. There was so much fun, nostalgic stuff for them to lean into still! Oh, what we could have had, indeed. 😔
