Me in my happy Red/Kitty bubble while others react to reboot news:
I’m getting Red/Kitty back so finally some new RK content and Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith are getting their chance to work together again-I’m happy for us, can’t burst my bubble 💛
Thought this was important to share.
Time to reblog this again, now my bubble includes memories of the tapings of the show and seeing Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp as Red and Kitty see me 💛
Not a question, but I just read your T9S meta about Leia/Gwen as a pairing, and it occurred to me -- another reason why it's a shame they never went in that direction is because there's a fun way they could've linked it back to That 70s Pilot.
I imagine the Season 1 finale of T9S taking place at a cookout in the Formans' backyard, and Leia and Gwen have a moment at the end where they kiss on the Vista Cruiser. Eric, Donna and Fez come around the corner, freeze when they see what's happening, then realize they're intruding on a private moment and scurry back into the house. Once they're out of earshot --
Fez: "Guys! Your daughter was kissing a girl!" :O
Donna: *shrugs* "I'm okay with it."
Eric: *excited* We are so COOL to be okay with it!
Just some silliness lol
That would've been awesome!
I love this!
THAT '90S SHOW (2023– ) | 2.05 “What Is Love”
Found from an early draft of the T9S Pilot episode, this was originally going to be how we first see Red and Kitty in the new series.
The exchange is hilarious and I nearly did a spit take when I initially read it because of the unexpected and funny flirty banter it was! It really wasn't hard hard to imagine the characters in the scene with this dialogue too. I wish they'd been able to use it in a later episode of the series, like when Leia was coming back for another visit.
But I really adore what was shown in the pilot that aired, Kitty and Red welcoming us back into their home with some fun dancing in the kitchen. It was absolutely adorable and I'll never forget the happiness I felt the first time I saw it played back for us at a taping.
Other changes from the draft pilot included Eric and Leia having the first scene of the series as they drove into Point Place, Gwen having purple hair, and Donna only mentioned not appearing (I have a theory on that change fyi)
Leia should’ve been named Katherine Marie Forman, after Kitty and Donna, and gone by Kat. Or Kit.

jeia + "my gf" "my bf" <33
If Topher was willing/able to be in T9S more like Laura was, how would you have used him?
Thanks for the ask!
Oh man. I feel like the possibilities are almost endless. But ultimately, if Eric were a more involved character in That '90s Show then I would have liked to see:
Season 1:
I loved Donna in S1xE5 "Step By Step", when she rushes to Point Place because Kitty thinks she's about to have sex. I don't think I would change that storyline - but I did find myself wondering how Eric processed that news, lol. He was already struggling with his daughter growing up and learning to gradually let her go - I could see this news sending him into even more of a frenzy than Donna was. Getting to see that reaction - and his reaction to Donna's freak out - via an Eric and Donna moment would be my pick. Could be sort of a callback or continuation to the talk Eric and Donna had about Leia in the pilot.
Maybe Eric could've been the one to pick up Leia at the end of the summer in S1xE10 "Kids In America", instead of Donna. That way we could've seen more interaction between Eric and his parents, too. Leia's fit to be tied during that episode - she's upset at how things transpired with Jay, and is ready to get out of Point Place. At first, Eric would be giddy to hear this - he's getting exactly what he wanted! But as he listens to his daughter (and some of the other characters) talk about her amazing summer, he realizes how good this experience was for her and ends up being the one to encourage her to stay in touch with the friends she made here - and even Jay. Maybe Eric surprises himself by going to bat for the guy who's dating his daughter - a Kelso, no less. I loved Donna relating to her daughter via her story about Casey Kelso. Maybe Eric could relate to Leia via a story about how guys can often fumble long distance relationships (🙄) ... but that it doesn't mean Jay doesn't care about her. 🫂
Season 2:
I would've liked for Eric and Donna to both drop Leia off the following summer, in episodes S2xE1 "You Outta Know" and S2xE2 "Something To Talk About" rather than Eric faking sick as they pulled out of the driveway (🙄). Then Kitty's campaign to get them to move into the house for sale across the street would be aimed at both Eric and Donna, and we could've had a scene between Eric and Donna discussing it and why they moved away to Chicago in the first place. I would've loved more details about that (and a glimpse into some of what happened between the finale of T70S and the beginning of T90S), and I think they would've come to the same conclusion - they love their life in Chicago and want to remain there, but start scheming to get Grandpa Bob to move in, instead. Would have been an opportunity for a cute, silly Eric and Donna B plot. 😔
Season 3:
If Topher were committed to being more involved on the show, then I would not introduce the storyline of Eric getting the George Lucas job offer in California in S3xE7 "Are You Gonna Go My Way". Instead, Leia and her friends (and Kitty, lol) would spend an episode planning a persuasive campaign for why Leia should be allowed to stay in Point Place during the school year. Eric and Donna would be good sports and hear them out - but at the end, Donna gently but firmly says no way, Jose. In a reversal to the pilot, this time Eric is the one who surprises everyone by saying he thinks it's a good idea. He tells Donna that Leia has come alive here, that she's made good friends here that remind him of the friends they had when they were growing up. Donna, like Eric did in the pilot, would grudgingly come around because she wants what's best for her daughter. Then Eric would go back to Chicago/work, and Donna would stay for the final episode and have her little power struggle with Kitty (😂), ultimately playing out in the same scenario for the cliffhanger at the end of S3xE8 "Don't Look Back In Anger".
Sigh. What could've been. 🥲
Love all of this and concur the last part of your post too.
“Sigh. What could’ve been. 🥲”
somewhere eric forman is forcing donna and leia to watch the OG star wars trilogy
The band tees featured on That '90s Show.
If season 3 of t9s got renewed how do you think Donna wanting to send Leia to catholic school would have played out?
I think we would indeed have seen Leia attending Our Lady Of Perpetual Sorrow (😭) at the beginning of season 3, as punishment for the night before school shenanigans on the roof. That would have been a source of stress for Leia's friendships and relationships - being separated from Jay and her friends just when she thought she was going to get to go to school with them and fully assimilate, so to speak. In addition to the strain on she and Jay's relationship after the reveal that he stole Kitty's keys to get them onto the roof... I could see some cracks forming.
Donna, I imagine, would continue to be guest starring a handful of times a season and we'd continue to see this new dynamic play out where she feels the need to give Leia stricter boundaries and begins to fear her daughter doing the things she did as a teenager (finally relating to the feelings Eric was having in the pilot), and she and Kitty butt heads in their approaches to Leia's teenage rebellion. Donna would slowly have to figure out that she needs to let Leia learn from her own mistakes, and Kitty would be sympathetic and reflective about her own parenting mistakes, leading to some great bonding moments and character growth for both.
In the end, I like to imagine that Donna decides to let Leia transfer back from the Catholic school to Point Place High, right as Leia and Jay finally call it quits and break-up. Setting up the drama for season 4 perfectly...
Love all of this! Oh I miss summers in 90s Point Place 🥲

pretty couple
Fictober 11 - Stupider people than us have done this
Little Leia Anne Forman was tiny, but mighty.
She made her earthside debut a full four weeks early, giving her parents and family quite a scare, but after a few days stabilizing in the NICU, she was finally home.
Here, at their home. Laying in the middle of his bed. A baby - the tiniest baby he'd ever seen.
Eric still had to do a double take sometimes. The hospital, the nurses - they'd just let him take this baby home, for crying out loud. Him! As if he had any idea whatsoever how to care for an infant, or even hold one.
He had her propped up in the middle of their bed, a fortress of pillows surrounding her on all sides. She was sleeping, and Eric sat a few feet from the bed and watched her, completely enamored by watching her chest rise and fall.
Donna was in the bathroom. She'd been in there for a long time, taking a shower - her first since they'd arrived home from the hospital. Steam had started escaping from under the door, and he could hear her singing an old Queen song, languid and unhurried.
Eric was still in awe that he'd helped create this tiny human being. She had lungs, and eyes, and a heart and super light wisps of hair that swirled out from the crown of her head like it was circling a drain. So that was how hair started. He'd always wondered.
Eric had never felt this feeling before. He wasn't even sure what to call it. He was content in a way he'd never experienced before. And proud - so proud. Of Donna, how she'd brought their baby into the world like a warrior, how she'd handled every twist in the road with a calm, collected determination. Of his baby - his baby - just for existing. He was proud when she yawned, or made a little coo. Proud when she latched, like a champ. Proud when the nurses said she was breathing on her own. He never thought he'd be proud of someone for breathing, but here they were.
He hadn't slept in his own bed in over 72 hours, hadn't taken a proper shower or had a meal that wasn't from the hospital dining hall (which left a lot to be desired), but it didn't matter. None of it dulled his mood as he sat there, gazing at his baby girl.
Maybe he was delirious. But the circle had nothing on this feeling.
The bathroom door opened, and Donna came out in a cloud of steam.
"God, that felt good," she declared.
Leia rustled, and Eric's instinct was to shush Donna.
She raised an eyebrow at him. "Excuse me?"
"She's sleeping," Eric gestured at their newborn.
Now Donna chuckled. "Yeah, Eric. She's always sleeping. That's kind of what she does."
She folded herself onto the bed next to the baby gracefully. Leia opened her eyes at her mother's contact - just slightly. A hint of midnight blue before her eyelids fluttered shut almost stole Eric's breath.
He stood up and folded himself behind Donna, spooning close to her on the bed. They both stared at their daughter, in awe.
"She's perfect," Donna whispered.
"So perfect," Eric agreed. He kissed Donna's shoulder, but then frowned as he had a new thought. "I'm so scared I'm gonna fuck her up."
She turned in his arms, her eyes soft. "You will," she said.
It wasn't the reassurance he'd been expecting, and his frown deepened.
"Gee, that makes me feel confident - "
"And so will I," she interrupted him. She cupped his chin affectionately. "I just mean, that's like, inevitable, you know? We're gonna do things wrong. C'mon, it's us." Donna was chuckling.
Eric lifted his eyebrows. He had to agree, as his own track record of dumbassery ran through his mind.
"Okay. But stupider people than us have done this," he argued. "Like Kelso."
"And my mom," Donna added, bemused.
"Remember that idiot from homeroom? Doug Mackenzie?" He was one half of the notorious 'Destroy And Give Back' duo. "I saw him at the grocery store last time I was home. He has identical twin boys. They look like menaces."
"You're right. We make a pretty good team."
"And we make a pretty cute baby."
"The cutest."
They both went back to staring at their baby, and Eric felt another swell of emotion he couldn't quite name. All he knew is that he felt complete, full, in a way he never had before.
