That '70s Show gave one sitcom legend a role that totally subverted her usual persona, but this was largely retconned by its spinoff That '90s Show.
While That ‘70s Show gave sitcom icon Betty White a role that subverted her screen persona, That ‘90s Show retconned this surprising twist. That ‘70s Show was never the most surprising sitcom on television. The series had its fair share of twists but, unlike a lot of some offbeat later sitcoms, That ‘70s Show wasn’t overly invested in deconstructing what viewers expected to see from the genre.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In much the same way, That ‘90s Show remixes classic sitcom cliches without much concern over their familiarity. Ozzie might be LGBTQ+ but, as the nerdy member of the group, he still had an unseen love interest in Canada which his friends refuse to believe is real. However, That ‘90s Show took its reliance on the familiar sitcom formula a step further when the spinoff undid a surprisingly subversive twist seen in That ‘70s Show.
The last time viewers saw Kitty’s mom was in That ‘70s Show. Her husband had just died and, despite this tragedy, she was still treating Kitty so badly that her daughter was hiding from her tirades. Kitty and her mother did briefly have a heart-to-heart about losing their shared loved one, but Bea was still tough on Kitty and hard to please. As Bea, Betty White was nothing like her screen daughter or the characters she usually plays.
Why Betty White's That '70s Show Role Was So Unusual Admittedly, White’s character Rose could sometimes unintentionally be a savage in The Golden Girls. However, Rose was best known for being the sweet, innocent member of her tight-knit group and That ‘70s Show played against this image. This was the image that White generally leaned into throughout her career, with even her more foul-mouthed characters having a heart of gold.
This was not so in That ‘70s Show. As such, it doubly surprised audiences when White played Bea nothing like her other roles or like her sweet screen daughter Kitty. However, since White’s real-life passing meant she could not appear on That ‘90s Show, it was a fitting tribute when the That 70s Show spinoff made her character a little sweeter than viewers ever knew Bea as.
