That 70's show




This show in my opininon is one of the best sitcoms ever created. It's unique because it takes plave in the 70's (of course just look at the title) and so it has the 70's fasion, history, speech, and customs of that era. Pot smoking being an example. The charaters will go into the basememt of the main characters house and smoke pot. They all sit in a circle so the camera moves in a circular path. Every time the camera moves to a different character it symbolized the passing of the weed. The show has so many one liners and funny jokes that will make you laugh so hard. Even if you've seen an episode ten times every time you watch you'll still burst out laughing.

Topher Grace plays the main character Eric Foreman. He is a nerdy kid who is obsessed with things like starwars, comic books and action figures. He hangs around with his friends the "cool crowd" he has a girlfriend named Donna the whole show who lives right next door to him and they've known eachother all of their lives. She is percieved as out of his league because she's a tall amazon red head and he's a small dorky kid. He even admits that he doesn't know why she's with him. There are tons of stereo types in this show. There's a character named Steven who is the pot head of the group and is the reason why they smoke. He is the trouble maker and in the later episodes he lives in Erics basement. All he does is act like those people in the 70's that would protest and rebel against everything because they think it's cool.Then there's Micheal. He Is the pretty boy of the group and he talks about his looks all the time! That's all he cares about is his looks and won't let anyone forget it. And he is insanely dumb. He has no common sense and the characters have so much fun making fun of him and making him do stupid stuff. Then there's Jackie. She the most popular girl in school. Or so she thinks. She is like Micheal in the sense that all she talks about is her looks and popularity. She ends up dating all of the guys in this group instead of Eric of course because he's Donna's. She is Donna's best friend even though half the time she puts Donna down with insults because Jackie is so rich. And the last person in the group of friends is Fez. He is one if not the best character on the show! He is from another country and on the show they never really say where he is from. He has an accent and is so hilarious. All he wants is girls and he can barely get one. One of the girls he got was a pyshco who needed to calm herself down. The mixture of all these characters makes funny television because they are all so different and are always trying to prank each other no matter what. They all enjoy making each other feel stupid and we as veiwers get a good laugh out of it.
