Editorial Reviews

All groovy things must come to an end, and the season-eight DVD set marks the conclusion of the popular retro/teen comedy That '70s Show with a fair amount of nostalgic extras to help ease the blow for fans. Though the producers were clearly angling to extend the program's lifespan with the introduction of new characters, most notably Josh Meyers as new kid Randy, That '70 Show had clearly run its course by season eight. It simply couldn't overcome the loss of key players Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher (who appears in only a handful of episodes here)--the show's real heart and humor--despite stalwart support by Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama (and the unbeatable duo of Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp), and the gags feel unfocused and cartoonish. Still, there are amusing episodes to be found throughout the set, most notably "You're My Best Friend" (Hyde has a disastrous bachelor party prior to his even more horrible marriage to stripper Samantha), "My Fairy King" (Jackie discovers her feelings for Fez), and the finale, which ushers the gang into the 1980s with an agreeable touch of sentiment. Supplemental features fall in line with all the previous '70s Show sets; director David Trainer provides commentary on four episodes, including the finale, while co-star Tommy Chong and Meyers get their own "Flashback" retrospectives to discuss their time on the series. Trainer reappears to provide a tour of two of the series' most famous sets: the Foreman's house and the water tower, while "Season 8 in 8 Minutes" is another extraneous montage of clips. The set's best extra--and perhaps the most valuable for series fans--is the 25-minute That '70s Show Through the Years: A Retrospective, which provides interviews with the main cast members culled from the show's entire network run. -- Paul Gaita

1.0 out of 5 stars Okay lets be real here...season 8 blew., December 29, 2007

By	Alexandra Edholm "dreamgirl0922" (South Bend, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yeah I said it. Season 8 sucked. It wasn't a really season at all. It was just something the writers scrapped together to get by and it wasn't good at all. First of all Randy? What the heck? What was the point of him except to be a hole filler for Eric. And he didn't even do a good job. He was horrible and just a big slut. Donna deserved something better. Okay second of all Jackie and Fez? Okay yes go through the whole entire series and you can see some scenes where you wonder if they'll end up together but to actually have it happen? It was horrible. I mean yes the things they did to each other before they got together to get back at each other was hilarious I'll give the writers that much but the rest of it after they actually got there....I couldn't watch it. It wasn't right. But the worst thing of all...the stripper. Okay why did Hyde have to go marry the stripper? I mean i loved Jackie and Hyde together and personally i think they were just as perfect for each other as Donna and Eric. But to have him go off and marry a stripper just wasn't right. They were making him too much like Bud when they'd already worked so hard to prove that he wasn't anything like him. So it was just a let down to see that all just disappear. That all the hard work Hyde put into proving he was a good man went poof the second that blonde bimbo walked in the room. I don't know maybe someone else has a different opinion of this and hates what I'm saying but i think this season could have been so much better. Lets hope that in the future there's like a reunion special and they rectify what they have done and make their loyal fans happy. Let's just hope.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Season, April 17, 2008

By	Brooke T. Crossley "Brooklynchook" (Australia, Lake Mac) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've laughed maybe once or twice through out the whole season, unlike other seasons where it was every episode had me wanting more. I found Fez starting to irratate me with his immaturity and the fact that he became the object of Jackie's obsession just screamed "we've run out of ideas here"
Adding a new character into a group of friends that were so close and having us believe he was instantly accepted and "one of them" is fake.

Season 8 is just proof that a good thing can go bad

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money!, January 16, 2008

By	W. Reddy "Infinitywr" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a HUGE fan of That 70's show! I love this show very much and I highly recommend buying seasons 1-7. But I do not recommend purchasing Season 8.

In my opinion, the departures of Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher was not the major problem with season 8. No, the real MAJOR problem was that the shows "powers that be" broke up Hyde and Jackie! Huge mistake!!

Hyde (Danny Masterson) and Jackie (Mila Kunis) were the most EXCITING couple on the show. They had AMAZING chemistry! They could throw banter back and forth and they were so funny and sexy together.

That and the writing was lacking in the last season. Subsequently, the show was not the same funny, fresh, and smart sitcom it used to be, sadly.
