I'm a pretty big fan of "That '70s Show". It's got some unique ideas, wacky humour, warmth and a great commeraderie between the cast. You can tell both the actors and the characters they play are friends. Though I didn't grow up during the decade, I like all things 1970s and enjoy seeing all the cultural references too.
The show, basically, is all about a group of teenagers living the 1970s in the fictional suburb of Point Place, Wisconcin. There's Foreman, the awkward and most mild mannered one, Donna, his pretty tomboy neighbour, Hyde, the rebellious one immersed in the counter culture of the time, Kelso, the handsome yet airheaded guy and his bossy girlfriend Jackie. There's also Fez, the misunderstood foreign exchange student. Together, they try and keep themselves amused. They hang around in Foreman's basement, they go out in Foreman's Vista Cruiser. They take a lot of advantage of Foreman, actually.
The first series is 25 episodes long, and is presented in this DVD set over four discs. It establishes the style and characters of the series, really well, I thought. Episodes within the series that are worth a mention include "That '70s Pilot", where Foreman first gets his beloved car, and the budding and breaking relationships are introduced, "Streaking", where the guys decide to streak at the Point Place stop of Gerry Ford's campaign trail, "A New Hope" where the gang all get to see Star Wars, which they start applying metaphorically to their life, "Punk Chick" where Hyde falls for a punk girl, "Hyde Moves In" where Hyde's mother runs off and he finds himself living a Foreman's house. A rather major plot point for the series, actually, as it changes the setup for the show a little.
All the episodes are great, though. It's fun, it's colourful, it's quotable, and it's interesting to watch the characters and relationships develop.
Special features include a featurette about the first series with interviews with the cast, a trivia feature, and a montage of TV spots.
For fans of comedy and of the 1970s, this is definitely worth a look. Recommended.

The reviews are long and I got through a few. My questions is, how many people watching That '70s Show actually grew up in the '70s? I came to love the show because the actors were just so great and the characters so entertaining. I love the '70s, so really enjoyed seeing the retro clothes, hair dos and interior design. The show, though, was definitely made to appeal to a younger crowd, a crowd who did not really grow up in the '70s. Although the dialogue was very funny, we actually said very little of what was said in the show. For instance, we would not have called a boy (guy) "hot", but "cute". I could give many more examples, but I won't. Little things bugged me like Eric getting single popsicles out of the basement freezer. During the 70's, popsicles came in a white paper wrapping and they were doubles--2 sticks. Hyde was perfectly cast as what we would have called "a burn out", but it was highly unlikely that he would have hung out with seemingly straight, middle class kids like he did. I also assure you that smoking pot (and especially in your parents basement where they could have smelled it!) was not that wide spread and neither was having sex in high school. Fortunately, Kitty's nurse outfit was almost on target (except she would have had a stripe on her cap), as was Laurie's "Farrah" hairdo.
I loved the show, but just would have liked to have seen more realism. Aside from that, it is a very fun and funny show that becomes addictive once you start. I can't say a bad thing about the actors or their characters. They all had great chemistry, were so funny and so willing to do those goofy skits and do them well. Overall, one of the best sitcoms done for TV.

That 70's Show was always clever even if it wasn't as funny as it thought it was in the first season. What kept the show going is that it got better and the cast has chemestry. It's funny that the show is still on though since it technically shouldn't be the 70's anymore. When the show started Eric (Topher Grace) saw StarWars and became a huge fan. So that would be 1977 and the show was on much longer than 3 years. They should be in the 80's by now lol.
Also the show shouldn't even be on without Topher Grace. The first few seasons is a coming of age story about Eric and Donna, so who wants to see her with that new unfunny guy ?? The show should've ended once Topher left. Then Ashton Kutchner left as well thinking that he also has talent in hollywood. Topher is doing Spiderman 3 as a main villian and all Ashton is doing is making is bad comedies. So I could see why Topher left but not Ashton.
The show still manages to get some laughs but with Topher gone the show has no soul left. It's lame how they hang-out in his basement still...when he's not even around. On top of it Donna hangs with her new b/f in Eric's house and kisses him in front of Eric's mom. It should bug anyone who followed the show from the start. So although I always loved the show it shouldn't even be on anymore. You're better off just either buying the dvds of the earier Topher Grace seasons or just wtaching the re-runs on FX. From the start it was about Eric and Donna and now we have to suffer through Donna and....Randy ? Eric and Donna should've just got married...the end. The show has some life now but very little without Eric.

This has got to be the best show I have ever seen. At first, I was about 12-13 when I saw my first episode, and I was like what the hell is this, but then I saw it again when I was 15, and decided it was the best show I had ever seen. Before this, I loved family guy. I had all the seasons, and a lot of stuff, but now I've got to say this is better than family guy. All my friends seasons, and family guy seasons need to move out of the way...That '70s Show is coming in.
