majority of That ‘70s Show’s original cast for guest roles, which means viewers will finally have answers to the burning questions that the sitcom’s finale left unaddressed. On the other hand, some of these unanswered questions appeared to be purposeful, so That ‘90s Show can still keep a few major mysteries alive.
Of course, a few of the most important questions after That ‘70s Show’s season 8 finale will inevitably require answers in That ‘90s Show. The notion of Jackie and Fez remaining a couple after the original ending has been a point of contention for fans over the past 15 years, with some wondering whether she would have eventually gone back to Hyde or Kelso. That ‘70s Show also gave little to no information about what happened to Eric in Africa, which could now be addressed by Kitty, Red, and his daughter Leia. That ‘90s Show has already answered whether Donna and Eric officially got back together, but his return left another question in viewers' minds concerning what happened to her ex-boyfriend Randy.
The biggest leftover questions from That ‘70s Show’s finale can finally be answered through the character returns in That ‘90s Show, but one mystery needs to be kept unsolved. Perhaps the greatest running gag in That ‘70s Show is that no one has any idea what country Fez is from, leaving the origins of the fan-favorite character a complete mystery. While Fez’s real name has also been left unclear, his home country still reigns as the original series’ best gag, especially when considering the confusing details that Wilmer Valderrama’s character mentions about his origins. Such bizarre details have suggested Fez's homeland is fictional, which ultimately makes the character an even more unique figure. As such, That ‘90s Show shouldn’t touch That '70s Show's incredible mystery of Fez’s origin country, with a better route for the sequel series being to continue the characters’ ignorance of his origins.
Fez actor Wilmer Valderrama also seems to enjoy the fact that the character’s country was never revealed, as he explained that Fez’s unknown background and naiveté allow him to be “a little bit of everyone” (via bringing That ‘70s Show’s character back is to keep the mystery alive.
However, this doesn’t mean That ‘90s Show can’t embellish the curious details of Fez’s mysterious origins, as the series could continue the gag by adding more inconsistencies to his country’s history. That ‘70s Show rarely revealed new details about Fez’s homeland, with the majority of the information coming from Fez’s statements about his home country winning a war against the British. He's also revealed that his country is split between the west and east sides of an island, with the west side being inhabited by British colonizers, with Dutch being one of its languages. While theories about where Fez is from have continued to grow since That ‘70s Show’s finale, That ‘90s Show should avoid directly debunking or confirming the mystery’s truth.
