8 Reasons "That 70's Show" Should Be Your Next Binge-Watch Session
Instagram

If you're about my age or older you've probably heard of "That 70's Show." It is a period sitcom that aired from 1996-2006 with a total of 8 seasons. In the fictional world though the show goes from 1976-1979. The main cast focuses on Eric, Donna, Hyde, Jackie, Fez, Kelso, and Erics parents Red and Kitty. It's basically a show all about their lives using loads of sarcasm and plenty of jokes. If you're wondering why I've decided to talk about this show, well I have just finished watching all 8 seasons within the last month and i'm feeling sentimental.

1. The Sarcasm

This show is literally filled with sarcasm which personally is my favorite style of conversation. Essentially the show is like another version of friends but the main characters are in highschool/college so it's a bit more relatable. This also makes the sarcasm even funnier because you can literally imagine you saying something just like they said to your own friends.

2. Fez

Fun fact, they never actually gave Fez a real name. When he announced his name an alarm went off so no one could hear it. In turn the guys decided to name him Fez (Foreign Exchange Student). Throughout all 8 seasons you never actually know where Fez comes from which is the basis of all jokes made about Fez, that and his accent which no one can understand. Overall Fez just makes for a great character to make fun of.

3. Eric and Donna

Eric and Donna are literally a power couple. From the beginning of the show till the end you're always rooting for Donna and Eric no matter the circumstance. It's almost as if Eric is the underdog and Donna is the girl who fell for the underdog. Their relationship is literally hilarious and if you watch the show and don't root for Donna and Eric then at least root for someone Jackie gets with...you'll have plenty of options.

4. The Costumes

In fashion everything comes back around. Watching this show today makes me realize that even more. There were so many times I saw outfits that people wear today especially the pants. Super wide leg pants are totally in right now and even though I don't own a pair I'm rooting for the look. As a whole the outfits they wear are great, especially during the times they go Roller-discoing.

5. Red

Red is the epitome of a bitter man. From his comments about putting his foot in the butt of people who annoy him, to his I don't care attitude 24/7. He think everyone (except Kitty his wife) is dumb so that pretty much sums up his character.

6. Jackie

Jackie is basically a bratty pretty girl who believes the whole world owes her everything and then some....which is why she's great. In the beginning everyone hates Jackie and doesn't want her to be a part of the group, but because she dates Kelso she is slowly becomes one of them despite her interests. A fun fact about Mila Kunis who plays Jackie is that she lied to producers about her age when auditioning so she was only 14 when the show started. She also had her first kiss on the show with Ashton Kutcher aka Kelso who she is now married to today.

7. The Relationships

The relationships in this show are wild. For one Jackie literally dates all the main characters except Eric mainly because 90% of the time he was with Donna. The same goes for Kelso but in a larger term of dating everyone in Point Place. As a whole the relationships in this show rotate like no other so it's a fun time.

8. Kelso

Kelso is essentially the village idiot of "That 70's Show." For measure he falls off the town water tower every year of the show and occasionally the reason he falls is because the others trick him into jumping...every...single..time. His character provides tons of humor relief throughout the show from one dumb comment to another. To top it all of he is super narcissistic.

As a whole I highly recommend the show if you're looking for something to kill some time. It's a good laugh.

Happy Watching!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
