Red. :D Love the episode where the kids are having a party, one opens the beer and Red sits up in bed and says, "Party!"

I just think his sarcastic, blunt wisecracks are funny. :D

I don't like That 70's Show very much because the local Fox channel took off syndicated episodes of Seinfeld and replaced it with that show. There was already an episode before it. Did people really need an hour of pot jokes, sexual inndoundo, and an idiot going "Oh, burn!" all the time? I guess it's all those frat-boys and 11 year-old upper-middle class white boys who listen to 50 Cent and think they're from the hood.

Well, speaking as an 18 year-old student from Britain who listens to rock and thinks 50 Cent should burn in Hell for their crimes against the music industry, I'd say your generalisation was waaay off. :)

Sorry, I'm a very cynical person.

Red and Hyde are the only ones that don't infuriate me, because they're both cynical bastards.

sounds to me like someone has a few race/bigotry issues to work out...

Kitty the mother! :D

Hyde: "You're dating Laurie? That's not different, man. You're boldly going where every man's gone before."
Kitty: "Steven! It's not nice to be so... truthful."

I like that show.

If only because it makes fun of the 70's, has an original idea for a cast(not one of those weird fat husband skinny wife comedies...)

I've seen several episodes just because it used to be on right before Star Trek on Wednesdays, and I'd sometimes be a little early. It seems like Red and Hyde are the popular ones around here, they're my favorites as well; though I like Eric pretty well too.

That 70s show is hillarious. It is the only non animated TV show that I watch. Unfortunately I just read that Eric and Kelso are leaving the show.

HuH?! Why don't they just cancel it then? I hate when they dragg a good show or movie out until it sucks and then every body ends up hating it (star wars).

How the hell can they get rid of Eric and Kelso anyway? It would seem that it would be quite difficult to incorporate Red and Kitty in the show without Eric. I guess Hyde will inevitably end up with Donna? Will they all hang out in the pinsiotti's basement now? I can understand Ashton Kutcher leaving, he actually makes funny movies, but Topher Grace? He just makes lame romantic comedies that bomb in the box office. Damn that arrogant worm topher Grace and his unrealistic hopes of becoming a real movie star! :mad:

The newer episodes suck. But the old ones are cool

I still remember one scene in which they discover Kelso was actually old enough to buy beer, because he was held back a year

Well of course they have to jump the shark ... part of its charm is mimicing sitcoms from the 70s. Remember in the first episode Donna (Laura Prepon) had a sister who just walked upstairs to her room and never returned? Straight out of Happy Days. Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) had a brother who did the same thing. I imagine next season is the last one, though. Most of the actors have budding movie careers and other projects. It's best they get rid of the show before it goes too sour. I can almost smell a Hyde/Jackie spin-off, though.

Little things like that are what make the show great ... that is ... if you're old enough to actually remember television in the late 1970s.

Hyde is a great character, but that was me in high school, so I guess I relate. Red seems to be what I'm growing up to become, though (except I have a full head of hair). Kelso reminds me of half my friends and Mila Kunis (Jackie) is the hottest Jew on television.

It's a pretty decent show. I like that there are still little sitcom islands in the sea of reality idiocy.
