That 70's Show .. Show of a lifetime.. !!

Hanging out,

by the street,

doing same old thing,

that we did last week.. !!!!

These are the opening lines of one of the best Sitcom's I have come across..












Show lasted 8 seasons ie: 8 years of running time.
All the characters started from their school times and went up to their adult hood.
Many of the show actors got into major movies too.

Best part is that you can relate your self to it at some point of time.
Theme - 5 friends, 1 war veteran uptight masculine dad, 1 over protective mom, girl next door, a foreign guy, a dim wit, raging hormones, pranks, small town setup with nothing better to do..
Location - Wisconsin state US.
I have been to that place several times. Its still not fully ravaged by commercialization, that place got many awesome outdoor activities, severe winters. A land of adventure sports and theme parks. A perfect holiday or vacation place.
Time line of show - 70's era. The show starts on 1 Jan 1970 and ends on 31 Dec 1979. The entire backdrop of show, sets, costumes, script, the life style depicted is perfect 70's.


Characters:

Eric Foreman - Played by Topper Grace (later acted as black spidy in Spiderman-3). Eric is a nice guy at heart. He is also generally geeky, physically weak, and somewhat clumsy and a lightning porky mouth.

Michael Kelso - Played by Astun Kutcher. He shot into stardom, did more than 2 dozen movies and is now hitting Demi Moore.. Smoking ..!!
On the show is Tall, lanky and long-haired, oversexed, dim-witted pretty-boy of the group, coasting through life on his good looks.

Donna Pinciotti - One thing is that, she is a hot chick.. !! That's enough to know about her.. :D

Stephen Hyde - Stoner, masculine, self made man who has seen a rough side of life soon. One who cares but does not voice or bends too much.

Jackie - The prettiest chick, Preeti Zinta's duplicate, a russian born starlet and already stole many hearts. Loved her on screen presence.
She is rich, spoiled, conceited, and supposedly annoying, chatterbox, materialistic.

 Fez - A awesome character in show, who runs things when many story aspects run low. He himself is a big star. Like all FOB's he is trying to learn the ways of USA and laughs on bad timings. Bad accent, foreign branded, pervert, superb dancer.. He does steal the show many times.. !





The show never has any loose ends and covers almost all major time lines in 70's.
Every episode will have u crack up laughing more than once..!

The best part is that at some point you can relate your self to any one of these characters.
I am close to Stephen Hyde most times..

Which one are you .. ???

Personal connection to show - Well I got the luxury of watching all the seasons / episodes back to back with my close buddies on Christmas vacation of 08. Slowly it became a ritual with all my close friends coming down to watch it. The show brought us together. We used to watch it on freezing days, blizzard nights in a small one bedroom apt 6-8 frnds on a TV that wasn't even ours..

..And like all good things it got over with pushing us back to reality..
