I'm Gen-X which I assume is that they are trying to depict here. And back then if you labeled people and treated them differently because of what they were, you were the a**hole because you were judging people on what they were not WHO they were. You even tried to avoid wearing labels. You had bands that made a point to wear t-shirts rejecting corporate magazines on the cover of the corporate magazines. You mocked people who were politically correct, and Hollywood made movies mocking political correctness. Comedians made fun of it. It was rejected> Everyone brought "Jagged Little Pill" and only the women admitted to buying it. yeah... the 90s were completely different than the 2020s, so much so that the people that this would be made for would be insulted by the very essence of that culture. Which is why the kids, the jokes, the humor all seems to fit well with a 2020s Nickelodeon kids show. It rejects the 90s culture so much it doesn't even work as nostalgia. It even rejects That 70s Show's beloved tropes and doesn't work as nostalgia for the show it's rebooting. Might as well just put on Nickelodeon.

AfterMASH is an American situation comedy that aired on CBS from September 26, 1983, to December 11, 1984. A spin-off of the series M*A*S*H, the show takes place immediately following the end of the Korean War and chronicles the adventures of three characters from the original series: Colonel Potter, Klinger and Father Mulcahy. M*A*S*H supporting cast-member Kellye Nakahara joined them, albeit off-camera, as the voice of the hospital's public address system. Rosalind Chao rounded out the starring cast as Soon-Lee Klinger, a Korean refugee whom Klinger met, fell in love with and married in the M*A*S*H series finale "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen." AfterMASH premiered in the fall of 1983 in the same Monday night 9:00 P.M. EST. time slot as its predecessor M*A*S*H. It finished 10th out of all network shows for the 1983-1984 season according to Nielsen Media Research television ratings. For its second season CBS moved the show to Tuesday nights at 8:00 EST., opposite NBC's top ten hit The A-Team, and launched a marketing campaign featuring illustrations by Sanford Kossin of Max Klinger in a nurse's uniform, shaving off Mr. T's signature mohawk, theorizing that AfterMASH would take a large portion of The A-Team's audience. The theory, however, was proven wrong. In fact, the exact opposite occurred, as AfterMASH's ratings plummeted to near the bottom of the television rankings and the show was canceled nine episodes into its second season, while The A-Team continued until 1987, with 97 episodes.
