Having been in middle and high school in the 80's and college and early marriage in the 90's, there isn't a lot about the 90's that stands out except maybe grunge and a few movies. The 80's had more defined fashion and music. You were still in the Cold War. While you DARE still existed in the 90's (with Leia wearing a shirt in the early episodes), it's heyday was the 80's with Reagan's war on drugs.

Fox already tried That '80s Show. It was awful, and was mercifully cancelled after a few episodes.
