That's SO 70's.

Since I was feeling sick this weekend I decided to rewatch one of my favorite shows (which is an oldie, but a goodie, and NOT a Netflix Original this time). I love re-watching episodes of That 70’s Show. Incase you haven’t heard of this period sitcom, it was aired in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s that takes place in the mid to late 1970’s. The sitcom follows the lives of six teenagers from Wisconsin and provides everything that was going on in the 70’s.
            I view “That 70’s Show” as one of those sitcom shows that you can flip threw the television channels and just watch any episode, because you will laugh at ANYTHING that occurs during the show.
            One of my favorite parts of this show is some of the actors, who star in it are some of Hollywood’s top names today, like Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso), Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart), and Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti). Over 8 seasons of this show, the characters grow with each other through the misery of being a teenager and in high school. However, the main character, Eric Forman (played by Topher Grace) also has his embrassing yet fun-loving parents as a huge part of the show, Kitty and Red Forman.
            Watching this show millions of times has made me want to have grown up in the 1970s (which is the decade that my parents were coincidentally teenagers during that time period). The show was originally debuted on FOX, but currently has reruns today on ABC Family, and it’s been streaming online for years. It’s was a popular show during it’s run, but I think it’s important that my generation takes the chance to watch a classic show such as “That 70’s Show” because we’re so focused on watching shows that are currently on the air and now branching out to watch different types of shows. Every show is different, like I keep mentioning in my other posts, but I believe it’s important to take risks (like you do in real life) and watch shows that you normally don’t. The only bad thing is that you don’t like it and you can shut it off at anytime!




            

However, this show is one of my favorite sitcoms, EVER. One of my best friends from home introduced me to this show almost 4 years ago, and I can’t thank her enough for it! Whenever I’m bored or just need Netflix as a background noise when I’m doing something else, I’ll pop this one on J

  1. I absolute love That 70's Show. No matter what mood I am in, this show is one of the ones that can change it to happy immediately. Its hilarious and the actors are amazing. This show does make me wonder if it would have been cool to grow up in the 70s because of how awesome their life is! I used to watch this all the time in High School with my sisters and brother but haven't watched it in a while. Might be time to switch shows on Netflix. Which is amazing for having That 70's show. Can't wait to see what other shows you post about through out the semester!

  2. I agree, this show is awesome! I used to watch it with my family when it originally aired, but didn't really get some of the jokes, being a kid back then. So I think I might have to re-watch these considering I don't remember them that well. I have seen a couple of them over the last year and I love Red! He is so funny and I that is my sense of humor in a nut shell.
    I also find it interesting that some of the actors did make it in Hollywood, because usually older sitcom characters are kind of like the, "has beens'.
    Great post and can't wait to see whats next!

  3. I love this show! I used to watch it every day when I came home from school because not only was it the only thing on, but it just became addicting. This show had some of my favorite actors and it never failed to make me laugh. Since ABC family has changed so much, I would love to see this show come back on air. I would highly recommend this to others!
