That 70's Show: A Review
goliath.com

I’m back everybody, (and by everybody I mean all three of you.) bingeworthy review has come back to its weekly schedule to give you guys some great binge-worthy shows on Netflix. First and foremost I would like to apologize for not posting anything recently, as I have been nursing a summer long hangover, (Disclosure: Odyssey, its administration and its writers, do not condone drinking alcohol. No one under the legal age should drink, and no one should drink and drive. Please drink responsibly.) Now I’m back and ready to Review!

We are going to start off the school year with an easy review: "That '70s Show." I know what you’re thinking, “who hasn’t seen that show already? I already love it, so why do I need a review from your half-assed excuse for a writer,” and to answer your question, that was very hurtful, and you should apologize. But anyways I have recently rewatched all of the series and with eight, twenty-six episode seasons, there’s a lot to discuss. So let’s review: "That '70s Show."

So, "That '70s Show." What is there really to like about it? Well just for starters, it has excellent writing that is able to move between the lines of comedy and teenage drama; wonderfully unique and colorful characters that can be relatable; and a theme song that, let’s face it, you’re humming right now. But the characters really are great. While Topher Grace as Eric foreman might be a little over the top, same with Asheton Kutcher’s Michael Kelso, both characters are able to have real moments of human emotions that people can relate to.

Now, like I said before pretty much everyone has seen this show, including me. However I haven’t seen this show since I was in 8th grade, and while I thought it was funny then, I’ve grown up a lot as a person, so now the show hits me in more ways than its comedy. Because the show centers on several friends in their late teens, there were moments as a 4 year old I didn’t relate to. So now the show is just that much better.

One of my favorite parts of the show is how accurate the lifestyle of the '70s is represented. Not that I would know or anything. The only memories I have of the '70s are from my past life as executed murderer, Charles Rodman Campbell. And watching these characters interact in a time so vastly different from a time where I grew up, it just makes me wish I could have experienced it for myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in this era, (we live in the future guys) but the simplicity and rebellious angst of the '70s seems so alluring. Not to mention the rise of rock.

I think my only problem with "That '70s Show" is that there are some seasons where they kind of miss their marks on what better seasons provided. Personally I’m not fond of season 4 or 8. Also the actress who played Eric’s sister Laurie died mid series and was replaced. I know it’s kind of late to talk about but it’s kind of weird you know. Anyways I think "That '70s Show" is a timeless gem that is old enough to be a background noise but can have something relatable for all ages.

Score: 3.5/5


Just to be clear, I dont actually have memories of a past life; convicted murderer or otherwise.

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.

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.
