If this show was set in today's time, what would need to be changed for it to work?

Longer answer: Basically, the show would become a drama with some funny parts if it took place modern times. The sometimes problematic punchlines of T7S wouldn't be acceptable. Laurie being shamed for her enjoyment of sex, for instance, would have to be taken seriously, debated, and ultimately rejected. The difference among the characters' economic backgrounds would become more apparent with today's technology. Pot is more potent now (for several reasons), and its legality is growing across the country. The list of what would have to change is in the dozens. __________________

Thank you for the thoughtful Q, Lulu! How do you think the show would change?

And I will answer it, of course.

Ooh, Lulu, you answered!
 Fez and Kelso would get into so much trouble on the internet. Unless Kelso retained his tech savvy from season 1, his computer would be virus-city. Fez would bug people with texts on their phones, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.  __________________
