That 70's Show geneal information

That 70s Show is a American television sitcom that centers on the lives of a group of teenagers living in Point Place, Wisconsin, a fictional suburb of either Kenosha, Wisconsin or Green Bay, Wisconsin, from May 17, 1976 to December 31, 1979. It debuted on August 23, 1998 and its final episode aired May 18, 2006. Its eight-season run and 200 episode total makes it the second longest-running live action sitcom for the FOX network, after Married.with Children. That '70s Show proved to be a launching pad for the film careers of all of its young stars, unknowns at the time they were hired.

The show remains in syndication on the FX Network in the United States as well as in the United Kingdom.

That 70's Show characters

The show follows the life of teenager Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and his five teenage friends: Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon), his liberal girlfriend and next-door neighbor; Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson), a rebellious hard-rocking stoner; Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), a dim-witted narcissistic ladies man; Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis), a self-involved high school cheerleader overly preoccupied with wealth and status; and Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), the nicknamed foreigner whose country of origin is ambiguous and whose hormones are out of control. Fez's real name is felt to be unpronounceable to the other characters and so they rename him Fez, which stands for Foreign Exchange Student (the spelling being poetic license).

In this group, various relationships are explored, the main focus being between Eric and Donna, who share the roles as the more responsible couple of the group, evident in such episodes as "Dine and Dash". This stands in sharp contrast to the on-again, off-again relationship between Kelso and Jackie, in which both are usually portrayed as being obsessed with each other, despite instances when they argue and deny their love just to spite one another. In both relationships, the couples would often disagree, only to learn to tolerate their differences. Jackie would eventually move on to Hyde, and later Fez as the series progressed.

Other main characters include Red Forman (Kurtwood Smith), Eric's overbearing war veteran father; his overprotective menopausal mother Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp), who is caught up in trying to be a fulltime mom and housewife while maintaining a job as a nurse in a local hospital; and Laurie Forman (Lisa Robin Kelly, 1998-2001 and 2002-2003, and Christina Moore, 2003-2005), Eric's older sister, whose promiscuity is the brunt of many jokes by the six teenagers. The show also followed the relationship of Midge and Bob Pinciotti (Tanya Roberts and Don Stark), Donna's parents, both of whom are slow-witted and easily influenced by the movements and fads of the '70s, which sometimes places stress on their marriage. Tommy Chong frequently appeared as the recurring character of Leo, the hippie owner of the Foto Hut.
