Set in the era of Led Zeppelin 8-tracks, Tab cola and Farrah Fawcett posters, THAT '70s SHOW returns for an eighth season as it continues to flash back to the "Me Decade." With changes in their lives and adjustments being made, the gang from Point Place is moving onward and upward in season eight of THAT '70s SHOW. While the kids continue to make the sometimes bumpy and often hilarious transition into adulthood, the parents are forced to deal with an empty nest. DONNA (Laura Prepon) grows more popular at the radio station and realizes that a long-distance relationship with Eric isn't going to work, so she starts dating again, eventually meeting the person who may actually be "the one." HYDE (Danny Masterson) runs a successful record store – with Leo (Tommy Chong) as his slacker employee – and makes a final decision about his complicated relationship with JACKIE (Mila Kunis). Meanwhile, FEZ (Wilmer Valderrama) reveals more about his family and home country as he grows into quite the local Lothario. And at the Formans', KITTY (Debra Jo Rupp) has problems with no kids in the house, while RED (Kurtwood Smith) has problems because it still seems like there are always kids in the house.

The eighth season of THAT '70s SHOW will continue the signature elements that have made the series a hit, including the surreal dream sequences, the 360-degree basement scenes and the classic '70s score. The retro series has featured numerous '70s icons since its premiere, including Gloria Gaynor, Shirley Jones, Danny Bonaduce, Charo, Alice Cooper, Marion Ross, Eve Plumb, Ted Nugent, Howard Hesseman, Valerie Harper and Roger Daltrey. Additionally, stars such as Luke Wilson, Lindsay Lohan, Jack Osbourne, Brooke Shields, Seth Green, Jessica Simpson and Shannon Elizabeth have also made guest appearances.

  One thing bothers me about the eight season. Why are all the ( so called kids ) still hanging around the formans house? I mean Eric is gone. Would 'nt it be logical if red just kicked them out of the house? Just an example of why the show carried on for to long. When Eric and Michael went away, the show was'nt very exciting anymore. The sarcastic, smart ass humour was gone and Michaels dumb remarks. The Randy character was'nt very funny. When he hooked up with Donna, it felt like a slap in the face to Eric. I did'nt quite understand why he (topher grace) left. Perhaps he got tired of his role and the constant , confusing, meaningless fights with Donna. ( Eric : No, Donna i did'nt mean it like that) Then Fez and Jackie. Fez always had a crush on Jackie but why did he sleep with all of those girls and then he suddenly did'nt want to be the third choice after Michael and Hyde. That storyline was awful. There is another reason why the show should have ended sooner. The actors we're getting too old to play teenagers. In the case of Jackie i've heard that she was very young when she started the show around 15 years old. She was the only one left who could play a teenager. But she acted as if she was a lot older. As the girlfriend of Michael she creeped me out because of her age and the fact that they we're doing it. Just compare pictures of 1998 and 2006 Jackie. Overall enough reasons to stop much earlier with the show. When important cast members leave all show go downhill. less «

• Red hating on Eric

  Red is always being mean to Eric and picking on him. What do you think some of the reasons are that Red is always mean to Eric?

• Jackie & Fez trivia

  Fez is from a foreign country, but Willmer Valderrama was born in the US. Jackie was born in Point Place, but Mila Kunis was born in Ukraine.

  9 Superb

  Great comedy hide « show »

  One of the best sitcoms of all time in my opinion. I enjoy the many twisted scenarios that the characters get into with the entire 70s thing going on. The show does put a lot of emphasis into the dating scene, but as a teen based show I am not surprised. The thing is this show will provide you with incredible laughter and interest. Out of all the shows I have seen, there are not that many that I can watch a marathon of and continue to feel thrilled. This show adds humor and entertaining comedy many fans should appreciate as a late 90s gem.

  Show's fine. hide « show »

  Fox had done it again.Since it created The Critic,it had created a pretty good show.I don't like it,but it's a very good show.It's pretty funny,but not better than that hilralious Drake And Josh.Well,The Critic is very funny now on that Reelz Channel.But now Punk'd is very better than this show.Since Askton Kuther has been on this show and Punk'd,so he has been doing very good shows lately.Punk'd was pretty good than this show,but this show is a pretty good show.This is my final grade and I grade this show a B because I don't like it,but it's a excellent show.

  8.9 Great

  That 70's show is one of my favourite comdies ever. hide « show »

  That 70s show was my perfect comedy show. I liked all of the characters.Eric the funny geeky guy. Red the hard ass dad. Kitty the protective housewife. Fez the funny (horny) foreign guy. Hyde the cool kid who had his own way of things. Donna eric's love she was down to earth. Jackie the girl with a huge ego and unintentially mean. Michael the dumb guy who didnt get some of the conversations. It was hilarious to watch especially the time period was well picked. The actors worked well together and you could tell they had fun making this show. Good fun!

  My favorite show ever, arguably the best show ever made. hide « show »

  That '70s Show has a really unique theme. No other show I know takes place in a different decade then the show premeires. That '70s Show premeired in 1997 or 1998, I believe, and obviously it goes back and shows life back in the 1970s and even mentioned Gerald Ford as president instead of Bill Clinton or George Bush!
  
  The characters are perfect, and could never be replaced. Favorite characters are first. Fez and Steven Hyde. Hyde's really funny and I admire his sarcastic and impressive insults for Kelso (i.e. "Kelso, man, if you get any dumber you're gonna need a helmet.) and for Laurie, Eric's sister. (i.e. "Wow Laurie, you really liked that hot dog. You didn't even chew it.") He's also cool, maybe had five, at most, scenes in which he got really angry every season. He kept his cool, or, zen. Despite all of this, Fez was still my favorite character, and the most funniest. He's the foreign exchange student that just came to Point Place, Wisconsin, the setting of the show, in the pilot. So he's just trying to fit in, which sets up the hilariousity. He's had about a ton of gutbusting lines, and if I had watched all of the episodes, probably three tons!
  
  About at least a third of all of the scenes in the 201 episodes of the best show of America take place in the basement of the Formans, who you could say are the family who is discussed the most in the show. First is Eric, the guy who turns 17 early in the series, and he's a lot like me. He's not the funniest, but trying to be. And sometimes he's even a smart-a$$ to his dad, Red. Red. According to him, he fought in wars so of course he's strict. Maybe a little too strict on Eric compared to Laurie, his older sister who's a whore. Every time she is left alone she is either making out with Kelso or some other college guy. Then she's Little Miss Sunshine around Red, but not Kitty-his wife. She joins Eric's side, and knows Laurie's the devil.
  
  Donna Pinciotti is Eric's girlfriend nearly the whole first half of the show, and even when they're not dating, they're probably each other's best friends. I think these two are the best couple in a show for teenager. They're probably my favorite couple on television, with Steve/Laura from Family Matters following respectively. Donna is a sweet girl, who can be funny, laughs a lot, and is just a good natured girl. A girl she hangs out with a lot, is Jackie Burkhart, a stuck-up little brat. She's a year younger than the rest of the gang, but brings enough drama for the entire town. She and Kelso, are my the two other characters I hate the most, with Laurie, who I already talked about. Michael Kelso is the King of Stupid, as everybody says-including me. But they're talking about crazy things, I'm talking about stupid things, simply.
  
  Other characters who I don't really care about are Bob and Midge-Donna's parents. Midge is an idiot, and Bob . . . Bob is just weird. Leo comes in in the second season as the manager of Fotohut, a film developing center in Point Place where Hyde works at. Different girls and guys come up including Pam Macy and Caroline as the girlfriends of some of the guys, and other guys like Casey Kelso-Michael's brother or cousin, that Donna starts to date after she and Eric break up.
  
  I loved the show, but didn't love the final season. Eric goes to AFRICA? It should of ended with Donna and Eric getting married, but Eric screwed the first chance up. I was sad after watching the last episode. If only they had started in 1971 or so instead of 1976 and they could of kept it coming with the episodes. Anything better than only 201 episodes.
