Once the news of Don Stark returning as Bob Pinciotti hit the “That ’90s Show” subreddit, fans couldn’t contain their excitement to see the Forman’s hilarious neighbor come back to television. U/upstatedreaming3816 conveyed their emotions in the simplest way possible, saying, “BOBBBBBBB!!!!!!!” Other fans, like u/Sir_toolman and u/ChaplainAsmodai1978, stated their love for Bob and praised the news of his return in the Netflix series.
Unlike most fans, u/Round-Leg-1788 thought about the in-universe details of Bob’s return to Point Place, saying, “[It] will be interesting to see the difference in grandparenting style between him and Red.” We can’t forget that Bob is also Leia’s grandfather, and based on their character differences, they will definitely have different approaches to raising her.
U/SlashdotDiggReddit brought up that fans, unfortunately, won’t get to see Bob and Midge reunite on screen due to the heartbreaking death of Tanya Roberts in 2021. Many fans replied to the initial comment, expressing their sadness. u/DrewwwBjork suggested the show put on an emotional scene between Bob and Red to give fans a summary of Bob and Midge’s off-screen marriage. The moment would also further cement the strong friendship between the two grandpas, regardless of what Red wants people to believe.
Needless to say, “That ’90s Show” fans only want the best for Bob and can’t wait to see him in the Netflix revival.
