If they made a That '90s Show and waited the same amount of time after the decade as That '70s Show waited after the '70s, the show would be made in 2017.

This one has me curious.

Happy Days was about 20 years after the 1950's period in which it was set.
The Wonder Years was about 20 years after the 1960's period in which it was set.
That 70's Show was about 20 years after the 1970's period in which it was set.

It's now 2020, and we're still getting period pieces set in the 1980's.  For example, the new Wonder Woman movie is set in 1984.

What happened to the 1990's and early 2000's that period pieces seem to have stopped with the 1980's?
