WARNING! This article contains minor SPOILERS for That '90s Show season 1!One line from Ozzie in That '90s Show season 1 proves that a spinoff following Red and Kitty's youth in a That '50s Show spinoff would actually work. While That '70s Show did technically have an indirect spinoff with the canceled sitcom That '80s Show, it was virtually unconnected to the main story. As such, That '90s Show is the first official spinoff, with its popularity and success on Netflix increasing the likelihood of That '70s Show's franchise being expanded even further.

While there has yet to be any word on new spinoffs for That '70s Show, the best decade to cover after That '90s Show's timeline would be the 1950s, thus taking the Formans' story back in time. A prequel set around Point Place in the 1950s would add plenty of new layers to the beloved town and the quirky residents who still live there during That '90s Show, such as Red and Kitty Forman and even Leo.

In fact, for the same reason why That '90s Show works as a sequel series, Ozzie already gives a key underlying argument for why a That '70s Show prequel following their grandparents would be successful.

Ozzie Points Out That Their Parents & Grandparents Had The Same Teenage Woes

In That '90s Show's pilot, Leia and the gang find themselves in a dilemma when they're mistakenly given a keg without a tap.

Ozzie mentions that the conflict of "kids versus beer" is a "tale as old as time," having been suffered by their parents and their parents' parents. Considering That '90s Show's keg story is a recreation of That '70s Show's season 1 episode "The Keg," Ozzie is exactly correct, which also sets up the need for a spinoff depicting young Kitty and Red trying to tap a new metal keg. Just like how Leia and Jay repeat their parents' misadventures, That '50s Show would reveal that Eric was just rehashing his own parents' conflicts.
