As a gamer with a soft spot for nostalgic sitcoms and a keen eye for new talent, I must say that Kira Kosarin’s addition to That ’90s Show is a breath of fresh air! With her impressive resume on Nickelodeon’s The Thundermans and her versatile skills as a singer-songwriter, she perfectly embodies the spirit of the Kelso clan.


The third part of the series “That ’90s Show” debuted on August 22, concluding its second season filled with laughter from the teen sitcom. In these new episodes, Leia took some significant steps and Eric secured his dream job. However, a character introduced in part 3 that will spark conversation among viewers is Betsy Kelso!

In the seventh series of “That ’70s Show”, the character named Betsy was introduced as the child born to characters Ashton Kutcher (Kelso) and Shannon Elizabeth (Brooke Rockwell).
