Meanwhile, Hyde returns from Las Vegas, where he went to clear his mind after catching Jackie and Kelso in a compromising position.

    Poor Eric is off, but, still, a rocky start to a final season. hide show

    Recording a lot in weeks gets pretty exciting. I really think killing off Charlie was pretty bad. And, I didn't like who Hyde married. Ugh.

    But, this episode surrounds moraly, the cahracters comeing BACK to character. Donna is still a maiden of distress, Fez is still funny. Kelso has been funnier, Hyde is the bad boy, and Jackie is still selfish.

    What I still like was that Red was doing what he has always dreamed of; throwing away Eric's stuff!
    And, you gotta love the recording tape Eric will recieve!

    But, still, I hate 3 things about this episode;

    1. Sam.
    2. Charlie dying. I mean, no one dies but him.
    3. Eric leaving. But, that's the least of Season 8's problems.

    Overall, this episode gets 8.1, for being a good and rocky start down the road of the last season of a great series.

    Season 8 begins, leaving Eric behind hide show

    This is a hilarious opener to the seventh season, and while it doesn't have the exact same charm as previous seasons, the episode is nonetheless entertaining, particularly the old water tower joke, that never gets old no matter how many times it's happened over the series. The fact that it seems to start off as an initiation for Charlie to go through to be one of the gang (with Fez saving the beer rather than Charlie) and turns out to be a deadly end for the new character is funny and seems to show that the season will continue with the existing characters.

    Jackie and Hyde is a relationship that's gone on too long, and the Kelso/Jackie relationship was much funnier, but the plot was very well driven in the episode, and the twist that Hyde did get married, but not to who he assumed he'd be forced to eventually, but rather a drunken elope with a stripper, is just hilarious, and is bound to set up some good conflict.

    This episode was consistently funny, especially Eric's tape and Kelso being dumber than ever, and is a good start to what is hopefully a satisfying season.

    9.6 Superb

    This epiode rocks. i dont like the part when hyde marrys that stripper. hide show

    Hyde goes to Las Vegas to erase what he saw when Jackie & Kelso were in bed together. Kelso & donna tell Jackie that Hyde was planning to propose to her. As Jackie tries to winhim back. Hyde comes back married with a stripper. Red & Kitty find their home very empty after Eric left for Africa. I hate how Jackie & Hyde don't end up together. Stuipid Hysde have to marry a stripper. stupide Jackie, hooking up with Stupid Kelso. What a ho! And I hate how Eric isn't in season eight. I did not like this season opener. Ugh!

    Hyde marries a stripper in Vegas. Eric is gone and Kitty expieriments with the gang's "Stash." hide show

    I thought it was hilarious and I did not expect the whole Hyde marrying a striper thing, but it was a great start to an ok season.I thought the part where Kitty was caught smoking in the bathroom was very funny and the part where Jackie and Donna are at the bar and jackie says, "I don't have a hot friend." The "Boobs Out" part was funny too.

    The eighth season picks up with Kitty and Red discovering their empty nest isn't very empty, even with Eric in Africa. Hyde returns from Las Vegas, where he went to clear his mind.Hyde surprises the crew when the find out he got married to a stripper name hide show

    This episode was a great way to start the season off. This one as one of my favorites. i can not believe Hyde as a wife and he did not even remember. What a total mind blower. Jackie also has an embarassing accident which makes her very upset. Jackie also says that she is done with men which the viewers no isnt going to happen. This episode also tells the us, the viewer, what has happened between the Season 7 finale and this fantastic new episode. I was also very surprised when Hyde hit Kelso. this episode was truly amazing and very exciting.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • The end of the intro still shows a license plate, but now there is no year on it. []
  • The opening titles are changed starting with this episode. Instead of the gang singing in the car, the camera does a 360 shot around the circle, in which each cast member sings a line from the song, except Kurtwood Smith who instead gives a look of disgust as the camera pans to him.

    On the note of Kurtwood Smith, remembering all of the other opening title sequences, he is the only cast member to never sing. []
  • Red: Eric, this is a little hard for me because I'm not real emotional, but, I wanted to tell you that.... your G.I. Joes were killed in the Great Dumpster War of 1979. []
  • Kelso: Tell you what... that's the last time I'm gonna mess around with a girl with a boyfriend.
    Donna: Kelso, your hand is on my butt.
    Kelso: Come on, he's in Africa. []
  • Hyde: Everything I wanted to say was in that one punch. Come on.
    (Hyde helps Kelso get up)
    Kelso: That was a good one too. I peed myself a little on the way down. []
