That 70's Show on DVD


That 70's Show

The series was commissioned by the Fox Network, and the first season premiered on Sunday, the 23rd of August 1998 with an initial order of 22 episodes (extended to 25 on the 12th of January 1999). The series did well, rating highly among several target demographics, including adults aged 18-49, as well as teen viewers. In February 1999, FOX ordered a second season, and as ratings rose the following September, the network opted to renew the series for two more seasons, bringing the total to four as well as four additional seasons. The eighth season was announced to be the final season of the show on 17th of January 2006, and the final episode was filmed a month later, on the 17th of February 2006. That 70's Finale originally aired on 18th of May 2006.


That 70's Show revolves the lives of several 17-year-olds living in Point Place, Wisconsin, 1976. The head of the group is Eric Forman (Topher Grace) who lives under the authority of parents Red and Kitty (Kurtwood Smith & Debra Jo Rupp). Living next door is girlfriend Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) and her parents Bob & Midge (Don Stark & Tanya Roberts). The rest of the gang includes Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), a foreign-exchange student who's soaking up American culture like a sponge, Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis), her on-again, off-again boyfriend Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), and Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson), a conspiracy theorist who believes Xerox will take over the world. The gang usually spends their time in Eric's basement, thinking of their lives, parents, and futures, but they manage to get into funny adventures and mishaps along the way through their teenage lives.
