It's December 31st, 1979. Eric is flying back from Africa. Donna has decided to leave for college. Fez and Jackie are officially a couple, Kelso shows up and Hyde has a special surprise for Red!
While the whole basement bunch meanly joins in with the school-wide ridiculing of poor Kelso, who made a painful fall in the canteen hurting the inside of his soiled trousers, constantly calling him ...
Eric Forman is a typical high school student growing up in Wisconsin in 1976 with his family and his friends. Together, they have the same kind of joys and sorrows that just about every teenager has while growing up. This show parodied many of the attitudes, events and fads of the 70s, along with those who grew up at the time.Written by

Reagan Gomez-Preston, who only appears in one episode, was intended to be a recurring character as an on-and-off love interest for Steven Hyde. The character was written out of the series afterwards. See more »

At the convenient store in "The Keg" all of the cans of Busch Bavarian and bottles of Michelob are the present 1998 style and not the correct 1970's style. See more »

Crazy Credits
During the opening credits of the episode where Fez dreams about the cast singing and dancing to some of the 70's most well known songs, the names of the cast members are in silver and two searchlights go across each name. Also, two searchlights go across the license plate at the end of the opening. See more »
Alternate Versions
When the series finale originally aired on Fox, there were no opening credits, just the cast names fading in on the bottom of the screen, however on later reruns and DVD releases, there were opening credits. See more »
I didn't start to watch "That '70s show" until about a year or so ago and I sure wish that I would have started tuning in a lot earlier. This series is really funny, really different, and has an amazing cast.
In my opinion, this is one of the best casts assembled in a long time. Everybody makes me laugh (especially Eric and Fez). All of the characters are likable and each actor puts in that little something each week that is needed to make a television series survive. Topher Grace is really great and I still can't believe that he didn't have any acting experience prior to this show. That's one of the best things about this show - all of the actors really had no acting gigs and just fell into the roles immediately.
The writers are extremely funny. Although the writing is simple at times, it's unpredictable the next, and that's what I like. Each episode has good scenarios/plots and always makes me laugh.
Everything about it is good and it's not the same as all of the other shows that are currently on TV. It stands out with an excellent cast (and an excellent theme song. That thing gets stuck in my head so easily.) I like the seventies, I like this show, but was "That '80s Show" really necessary?
