One of the hallmarks of "That '70s Show" was the common practice of shooting in front of a live studio audience. This has somewhat fallen out of fashion in recent years. Shows such as "How I Met Your Father" have been met with criticism for the laugh track. But "That '90s Show" was not to be deterred. It paid homage to its predecessor and many '90s sitcoms. But for actors who weren't even born yet when the series takes place, this was a foreign concept.
"It was definitely new to me," Callie Haverda admitted to Distractify in an exclusive interview. "I was very scared of live studio audiences before I'd ever done it because I had no idea what it was." The scene in question wasn't small by any means. Haverda explained that her first experience involved all three generations of Formans, which only added to the pressure. She joined her onscreen parents, Topher Grace and Laura Prepon, as well as series regulars Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp. After starring in the original show, all had gone through the process many times. What the young actor didn't anticipate was how much of a rush it would be. She soon realized what a gratifying experience it was.
"It was almost like some days, I would miss filming in front of the audience whenever we [had] regular filming days," she finished.
