The second year of That '70s Show took an already great show and completely amped it up (even the theme song got a small change). Knowing what worked and what didn't work from a very solid first season, the writers and actors were able to deliver a sophomore year that was superior to Season 1.
The year starts off with a true gem; in "The Garage Sale", Hyde (Danny Masterson) bakes "special brownies" to help out at the Formans' (Topher Grace, Kurtwood Smith, Debra Jo Rupp, and Lisa Robin Kelly) garage sale to raise money, now that father Red is out of a job. Despite Eric's pleas to not do it, he unknowingly gets Eric's Vista Cruiser sold when Red, Kitty, Bob (Don Stark) and Midge (Tanya Wright) sample some of the drug-laced chocolate. What follows is one of the shows most hilarious "circle scenes" with the parents talking nonsense while under the influence of the brownies. And that is just the beginning of the season...
This year, a few story arcs develop. Donna (Laura Prepon) is put through a painful ordeal when her parents' marriage begins to crumble, Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) and Jackie (Mila Kunis) face trying times for their relationship when Kelso begins sleeping with Laurie Forman, Hyde gets a job at the Photo Hut, and we meet Leo (Tommy Chong), a burnt out guy who is the source of so many funny lines. Eric and Donna take some big steps in their relationship, while Red continues his search for a job. Finally, Fez (Wilmer Valderama) continues his search for a girlfriend, and hopes that Jackie will be the one for him.
One of my favorite things about this show is the cutaway bits. Some of the funniest moments this year involved either dream sequences of cutaways to bizarre 70's references, such as when Fez wished that they could be cartoon teenagers, just like in Scooby-Doo. Next thing you know, the rest of the scene is animated! Or after Eric went to see Annie Hall with his mom, he sees himself as Woody Allen and Donna as Diane Keaton.
Season 2 had so many great episodes, I still find it hard to believe that the show's been on for 7 years. One might think that due to all the greatness this show has displayed in the first 2 years, it would have run out of ideas long ago, but it is still going strong. Anyway, some highlights of the year include "The Garage Sale", "Vanstock" "The First Time", "Afterglow", "Eric and Kitty's Night Out", "Halloween", "Hunting", "I Love Cake", "Parents Find Out", "Moon Over Point Place", and "Burning Down the House".
The special features are much improved over season 1 (although, most television shows on DVD aren't too strong in the specials department on the first season releases). We have a few commentaries, some making of features, and a few featurettes. Also, the episodes seem to be in sequential order throughout the set this time (it seemed as if some of the episodes were in the wrong places on the Season 1 release). This is a strong set, and I highly reccomend it.

That was my time for getting into trouble and That 70's show is the first time I ever saw it realistically portrayed. Of course, there were not nearly as many perfect punch lines when my friends and I sat around, but it was just as silly. What really makes me laugh is that we thought we were being bad-a**** when really our time was so innocent compared to today.

This is definitely in my top 5 shows of all time. Watching the re-runs never gets old. The characters all fit their roles and each performance comes naturally. Everything is completely genuine, and nothing ever seems forced. I have the first set and I loved the packageing and the layout of the menus. The studio stuck to the exact same format for the second season as well, there are no annoying credits to go throw each episode, and this time around the opening song isn't repeated on every episode, it just goes straight to the story which is really convienant.
The packaging is the same as well, which is a plus, 4 individual slim cases insted of annoying fold out cases that seem flimsy. I love That 70's Show, and I love the DVD sets. Definitely a must have if you are a fan of the show, they have high replay value and the jokes don't grow old.

Season two of the hit Fox series, That 70's Show continues on with much of the same coming of age humor as season one. Much as in season one, the six friends, Eric (Topher Grace), Donna (Laura Prepon), Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), Hyde (Danny Masterson), Jackie (Mila Kunis) & Fez (Wilmer Valderama) hang out in Eric's basement, get high and think about sex. This season has a couple of running plots including Eric & Donna trying to finally do it and Kelso juggling his dating both Jackie Eric's sister Laurie (Lisa Marie Robinson who becomes a full cast member this season). Eric & Donna finally do get together in the extremely funny two parter, "The First Time" & "Afterglow" (which contains a hilarious animated takeoff on Scoobey Doo). Some highlight episodes include the season opener, "Garage Sale", where Red (Kurtwood Smith), Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp), Midge (Maude Adams) and Bob (Don Stark) eat some of Hyde's special brownies and Red ends up selling the Vista Cruiser, "Red's Last Day" where Red and the guys get drunk at a bar, "Hunting" where the guys all go hunting while the girls stay at home and play cards and "Burning Down The House" where Jackie tries to make Kelso into something he's not at a party at her house and we learn a secret of Bob's.
