The show can't just feel like an excuse for nostalgia and cameos (though that's obviously part of the appeal). The show should still be focused on the teenage characters and telling their story, but it would still be nice to have check-ins with the returning cast to see that their stories are being continued in a way that doesn't feel contrived. The show needs to explore where the characters are at in their lives now, juggling the teenage problems of Leia and her friends while also following the returning cast and what new problems they face as they enter middle age (and perhaps even Red and Kitty's experiences as seniors and grandparents now). A more female-heavy cast would be great to see as well, since there aren't many in That 70s Show, and they're also often written in a more stereotypical way. It would be great to see Leia have a more diverse friend group in terms of race and sexuality. The racial representation in the original show is iffy at best, with Fez being the only major non-white character many seasons - and his character was written with problematic stereotypes and other questionable traits. The show would also be greatly helped by having a more diverse cast.

There should be a variety of personalities, some of whom conflict with each other, in order to create the perfect environment for sitcom antics. Since the story will revolve around Leia and her newfound group of friends in Point Place, the show's creators should make sure that the group is just as funny and endearing as they were in the original show. The show was very character-based, which is something that That 90s Show is going to have to live up to. This also explains why new characters and the absence of old cast members was one of the reasons that the final season was so disliked. The core cast is all interesting and lovable in their own ways, and part of why That 70s Show worked so well was precisely because of that. Much of the show is based around their personalities and archetypes, and how that affects or causes the situations they get into (as well as their relationships with each other).

Obviously, one of the draws of the original series is the cast of characters.
