Customer Reviews of That '70s Show - Season One

Hey man! Like retrospective!
Any body that grew up in the 70's can really relate to this show. While Happy Days took the more older generation to the time of sockhops, drive-ins, diners and plastered down hair. That 70's show deals with the next generation of sex, drugs, bellbottom pants, 8-tracks and rock and roll. Growing up in the 70's this show nails it almost perfect. The only character that's questionable is Fez. We had foreign exchange students at my high school. But, not that nurdy. A very funny show for all.

Wake up, people!
One ad for this show states that "If you fast forward it, you still get the gist of it!" <
> <
>Well, yeah, you do. <
> <
>This show has a simple formula: <
>a) sexual innuendo <
>b) canned laughter <
>c) repeat <
> <
>"Like, dude, who are you doin' tonight?" <
>(canned laughter) <
>"Like, whoever I can, dude!" <
>(canned laughter) <
> <
>The "actors" and "actresses" in this show-without-a-thought-up-title are filmed as though it were the 1970's. Except for the clothes and hairstyles (many of which should remain forgotten) this is "That 90's Show". These "actors" and "actresses" represent the fools you tried to avoid in high school. Y'know, the dumb, clowny guys and the ditzy girls who wound up (at best) in some dead end job for the rest of their lives. Party! Party! Party! And after graduation it was off to finish their shift at McDonald's. <
> <
>But back to the "show". The "star" of this program has become the obnoxious, talentless Ashton Kutcher. He has become what will be a soon-to-be-forgotten fad. He can't act, he isn't funny, he's annoying...and here's the worst of it. He's considered sexy. Look at the guy. He's a wimpy nerd with: <
> <
>Eyes like a novelty cat clock that shift from side to side (oh, how funny). <
>Neanderthal-like Grouchy Smurf eyebrows. <
>A gaping trout-like mouth framed with bright orange collagen-injected lips. <
> <
>Put 'em all together and...yecch. (shudder) <
> <
>Let's just hope this fad goes down the toilet along with the Macarena, Mambo #5, and bleach-blonde soup bowl haircuts.

You can never go back...but you can remember
That 70's Show came out screaming at a point in my life when I needed it most. Eric Foreman and Donna Pinciotti, were my boyfriend, Terry and myself hanging out in the basement of his mom & dad's house with a variety of friends with personalities much like Michael Kelso, Steven Hyde, Jackie Berkhart, and Eric's naughty sister Laurie...Fez, however, did not exist but the rest of the first season was dead bang and more like a memory than a sit-com. In 1976, as the stage is set in season 1, I was 14 years old and seeing all the life-learning wacky, goofy experiences the characters live out is extremely humerous and more like a trip down memory lane. Like Hyde, there was always somebody around with " a whole big bag of love ". Without much more than Packman, pinball or foosball for entertainment, we had to change the channel on the tv by hand, too. The soundtrack of songs are true to the era, as well. I remember the drive-in theater, and my daughter, who is 20, only knows what a drive-in is from watching tv. These are just a few examples but now that it's the end of 2005 and as the characters grow and change, NOW I find myself relating more to Red & Kitty ( Eric's parents ) and/or Bob & Midge ( Donna's parents )!!! All I know is it's awsome to go back in time and experience the nostalgia and adolescent situations that bring back a time for me when things were so much simpler, the grass was greener and the sky so much more blue. With no disrespect intended for the rest of the season, which is so unexpected and fresh, I never fail to laugh no matter how many times I watch Season 1, disc 1, episodes 1 & 2, which are in my oppinion the VERY BEST of That 70's Show and the heart of what it was really like to grow up in the '70's! :)
