Anachronisms: In one episode, Red is shown at the kitchen table opening mail. He removes a credit card mailer, and the credit card clearly has a hologram on its face. Holograms were not used on credit cards until 1983.

Bawdy, groovy brilliance!

This is one of the better sitcoms currently floating about on television right now. Never since Married...With Children sadly waved goodbye have I seen a comedy that aims for laughs and set out primarily to be funny, and That '70's Show never fails to reduce me to a useless giggling wreck. All of the characters are genius and each work so well in making you both relate to them and laugh at them in equal measure. Special shout-outs have to be given to Debra Jo Rupp as the fabulous Kitty and Wilmer Valderrama as Fez, who always hits the mark on cuteness and comedy! The rest of the cast are excellent, and each episode is special in it's own way. You never get tired of tuning in to see what will happen next. Being populated by a very good-looking cast helps too! That '70's Show is bitingly, savagely funny and a true triumph. Bring on more please!
