That '70 Show

[Ivan]

Now, who watches that? I think it's a really good show and have been following it for almost 5 years now. I love the characters and the humour in it. But I wonder, were the 1970 years like that?

"OOOH BUUURN!!!" Heh. :D

[TerminX]

It was a pretty good show if you pretend there was no season 8.

Yeah it really started to go downhill. Frankly for me they could have just said "They are graduating" and then end it. Why on earth did it drag on introducing a character no one liked and making Donna leave and come back? It seemed stupid.

It got bad a few years ago.

I wouldn't go that far, but okay, I have to agree it isn't as good as it used to be lately. I started watching it in French also, just 'cause the dubs suck so much, and they almost kill every joke, haha.

[Bludd]

It's good. I tend to watch it if I come over it on the TV. Some of the chicks are hot too. :)

But I wonder, were the 1970 years like that? Back in them days the best thought way to discipline your children was to call them dumbasses and sissys. Though I think they had too much of a throwback to the early 60s in that show. It was rewound a little to far in my opinion and a bit exagerated in terms of the style and lingo.

I could not stand Kelso nor Fez. All Kelso ever did was say stupid shit that wasn't funny and exclaim BURN!! or laugh like an idiot. Fez was just a confused ignorant foreign guy. Both just stooges and the show would have been the same without them.

The guy can pull off stupid without being obnoxcious is Tommy Chong. Though he was always funny because he would be silly and stupid than have complex and precise answers and solutions to complicated questions and problems. Like Einstein with the demeanor of a retard :D Nothing but stooges.

The entire show was basically about Eric and Steve. The other characters were a complete bore. Aside for Clairance Boddicker and Tommy Chong. Bob was ok too.

When I saw the title of this thread I automatically thought... "That '70 Show... sucks."

I never liked it, just wasn't my thing. I know other people enjoy it and whatever works for them. That and Ashton Kutcher is a f*cking idiot. Only good thing he's done is Butterfly Effect... IMHO. :D

That sounds about right to me, although I stopped watching it about 1 or 2 seasons before the end. I think right around the time Kelso knocked up the geek-fiend from American Pie or when he joined the police academy.

At that point, everything was already done in the show and the only thing left to do was pass Jackie around like the little whore she is, which after reading the Wiki article a second ago, appeared to have happened. :o

I'm currently dating Mila Kunis. We get along great.

It's also nice to see a sitcom set in Wisconsin. That doesn't make me like it here anymore than I currently do (I don't), but at least WI gets recognized. MIDWEST SIIIIIIIIIIDE!

I wont bother to watch the new season that that Topher Grace is gone but I liked it up until then. It sucked when they got someone else to play Lorie also, I hate replacements.

[Paroxysm]

Almost as good as spin city after Micheal J Fox left?

Did they try to continue Newsradio after Phil Hartman died? That would have been painful.

i expected Red to put a handgrenade on a table in the basement sometime, but it never happned :(

Hyde was the only good thing in the show, it was good but yeah it lost it towards the end.

I went and watched them all until the final ep though. The new guy they brought in in the last season was terrible.

Yeah, like the day the show debuted. There was maybe one good laugh per episode, and the rest was garbage.

Did they try to continue Newsradio after Phil Hartman died? That would have been painful.
They did. It was. Jon Lovitz was more or less his replacement for the final season, though he of course didn't play the same character. Apparently, Andy Dick and Jon Lovitz were very acrimonious towards each other during production for whatever reason.

[crunchy superman]

I just wanna chime in and say, that ugly green porch furniture on the show - my folks had that exact same set back in the 70's. :)

[The Dukenator]

Haven't seen That 70s Show for some time. Lost interest in it.
That 80s Show was a hell lot worse.

I hate that show. It would be hundreds of times better if the characters weren't just sitcom cliches and they just had the kid, his girlfriend and his parents. All the other characters are the worst things ever. :mryuck:

[Gatinater]

Eric was Richie and hide was Fonzie.

[Nessus]

To me the writing and dialog the kids used never felt like they were in the 70's. I always though just they way they intereacted came off like a bunch of 90's kids wearing Boston T- shirts.
