The first major Jackie/Hyde moment

8.0

By AnnieClare13, Apr 18, 2013

I'm really for Jackie and Hyde but blow,she got back together with Kelso in the end. For me the major couples in this show are Jackie and Hyde and Kitty and Red. The whole thing with Kelso is just a phase.

So the Point Place High School has a prom. Hyde convinces Eric to book a motel room for Donna. It tooks like Hyde is getting over Donna a bit as he is giving Eric good advice here. Both Eric and Donna think this could be THE night for them. So this is great. They leave the prom early to go to the motel room, but somehow, some obnoxious high school guys find them, and lead chants of "Forman!" as soon as the leader announces that "Forman and Donna are gonna do it!" Eric and Donna can't get comfortable in the surrounded motel room, and decide to wait for later. Dang it! Meanwhile, Kelso announces he is going to the prom with the very attractive Pam Macy. And we finally get to see her! She is pretty hot - hotter than Jackie. Good choice, Kelso! Too bad he doesn't get to keep her in the end, as seeing Jackie with Hyde at the prom upsets Kelso, and he breaks his dance with Pam up to be with Jackie, as Hyde happily takes care of Pam. With Fez, he's trying to get a dance. With his English teacher. She originally says no, but at the end, we see him dancing with her. Then he begs for Eric's motel room keys, but she says no to that, too. Fez brings up a good point in saying that she said she wasn't going to dance with him, either. Interesting. Wonder what happened.moreless

Donna & Eric have great expectations for prom.

8.5

By Canogaparkcindy, Jul 10, 2008

I think this is a very special episode because prom night was big in the 70's. Also I love how Jackie & Kelso bring other people for their dates. I love how Jackie takes Hyde. I am a total Jackie/Hyde shipper so that's another special moment. It would even be more special if Donna & Eric actually did it but they weren' ready. Also the big singing session at the end. I love that song. I also love Fez's dancing. Also the C plot with Midge talking about her future was of course hilarious. A very special episode & a very good one.moreless

Not my favourite episode, but it has some classic scenes.

6.5

By skokeloor, Jun 06, 2007

Not my favourite episode. The storyline wasn't that strong, but a few solid and funny scenes made in worth watching.

How about the 'I Will Survive' scene? Boy can that Fez disco! :)

And the scene where Kitty starts laughing after Midge tells them she wants to sell greeting cards is just a true classic! What a great actress Debra Jo Rupp is.

But overall this episode wasn't that great. I've seen much better from That '70s Show! But because of the strong acting and nice dialogues the episode manages to be interesting enough. But we know That '70s show can do better!moreless

- The music used in this episode is:
  Slow Ride (1975) by Foghat;
  I'm Not In Love (1975) by 10CC;
  Free Bird (1973) by Lynyrd Skynyrd;
  I Will Survive (1978) by Gloria Gaynor.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Mrs. Clark is singing "I Will Survive," she's using a wireless microphone. Definitely not possible in the 70's.

  EDIT SHARE
- Jackie: Well, I have a date too.
  Kelso: Who is he? What's his name?
