We spoke w/ Spoke to DJRupp & tahitismith about reprising their iconic roles on That90sShow. They also discuss how the revival series compares to 'That 70s Show,' serving as executive producers, and the enduring power of 'dumbass.'

In That '70s Show, though the hit series focused on Eric Forman and his friends, it was grumpy Red Forman and his ever-cheerful wife Kitty, played by Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp respectively, that stole the show. In Netflix’s revival series, That '90s Show, the two are reprising their roles, but this time they’re the grandparents of Eric and Donna’s daughter, Leia .

COLLIDER: You both worked in Hollywood for a very long time, and I'm curious, if someone has never seen anything that you've done before, what is the first thing you'd like them watching, and why? I am so curious, what was it like making this series – a whole new cast – what was it like making this one versus the original, That '70s Show? Because also that one was, I believe, 20-something episodes a season, and this was 10.

I think the fact that the writers, in particular, the creators of the show, Bonnie and Terry Turner and Gregg Mettler, all three of whom had worked on the previous show, they knew where to go. They also had a leg up, as opposed to having to develop all these things as it went along. If you go back and look at the beginning of That '70s Show to see how much we changed, how much the show changed in the time that it was on the air. Here, they already knew what was going to work.
