Is anyone else a fan of That 70's Show?
Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 12:10 PM by Bunny
It cracks me up, mainly because I spent the first half of the 70's in high school, stoned, drunk, and thinking about sex. I spent the second half of the 70's in college, stoned, drunk, and actually having sex. This show really brings back memories!

2. I watched it a few times when it first came out, then I lost track of it.
I'm watching reruns now in the evening, and laughing my ass off!

13. I think it will work well myself
If you haven't seen Grace in Traffic you haven't really seen what he can do. I think he is slowly developing into a good actor with reasonable range. Certainly a lot more range than his more famous former co-star.

He was also very good in In Good Company but that was a lighter part. Not silly frothy Ashton Kutcher light but still not anything to judge dramatic talent with.

15. "In Good Company" had a very strange ending
I can't make up my mind if I liked it or not. But I did get to see it on a plane flight so i am not mad that I might have wasted my time or money.

17. Well it wasn't predictable
usually those type of movies turn out in a different way. Don't want to say too much and spoil it. I think it was a good 3 star on a scale of 4.

But I am closer to Quaid's age than Grace's although thankfully free of corporate BS.

18. Exactly
In fact I was hoping he would have gotten the part of Peter Parker. Mcguire has done a great job with it but I think Grace could have pulled it off too.

19. Red Foreman
He will go down in history as one of TV's all-time great dads. Brittle and hard on the outside, but actually a decent human being deep inside.

I've culled these over the years from various sources. I call them Red Foreman's Words Of Wisdom.


There are only three times a man can say 'I love you': When he is drunk, When he is dying, and when he is in really deep trouble, which normally means he's drunk.

When used separately, women and alcohol can be a lot of fun. But if you mix 'em, they can turn you into a dumbass.

Son, you don't have bad luck. The reason bad things happen to you is because you're a dumbass.

Son, leisure suits are for dumbasses, trust me.

Without rules, we'd all be up in trees, flinging our crap at each other.

If you're not mad enough to bare-knuckle box, you're not mad.

Everyone, thank you for coming. I just wanna say that when my time comes, I wanna be buried face down, so that anyone who doesn't like me can kiss my ass.

Life's too short to spend it with people who annoy you.

I can't afford to feed your friends. I can't afford to feed you, but the law requires me to.

If I were a bird, I’d fly into a ceiling fan.

He's an ass... and he's dumb... He's a dumbass!

I've got two stages: anger and drinking.

I'm probably the only one here who's actually killed a man.

What are you going to put on your resume, Beck? Dumb-ass?

If they liked me, they'd leave me alone.

You do still like girls, don't you son?

I like the sound of a 'beer church'.

I'm not loving anyone I don't legally have to.

Oh, would you stop?! Luke Skywalker this. Luke Skywalker that. I'm sick of hearing about that little fruit.

Damn U.S. Government?! Without our government, you'd be stuck in Siberia now, suckin' the juice from a rotten Commie potato. Lemme tell you something. If the U.S. Government decides to stick a tracking device up your ass you say thank you and God bless America!

ERIC: Look, Dad, I need my car. Don't you remember when you were in high school? I--I bet you had some good times drivin' around senior year with your friends.
RED: My senior year I was drivin' a gunboat around Okinawa. And if you count the Japanese snipers as my friends, then yes, I had some good times.

What the hell kind of college is this? Barefoot hippies playing Frisbee, barefoot hippies singing songs to trees?

There's nothing any of us can do. We're all screwed. You think I like being stuck here, nursing my lunatic wife back from the brink? Hell, no! But we can't control what happens to us. Even if by some stroke of luck, you actually hang on to Donna, eventually she's gonna turn into that. (he gestures to the bathroom.) And then a few years later you'll die.

You need to start thinking about your future: college, getting out of my house.

He did worse than Kelso? I watched that kid glue his hand to his face! You! What happened on the S.A.T.s?

Now use what little brains you got and hit the books, dumbass!

Why does everybody go everywhere with us? Look at all these damn kids. I feel like a Mormon.

Oh, no. She hasn't done this since Elvis died on the crapper.

Sorry Kitty, yelling’s the only part of being a father I enjoy.

7. It will always be one of my favorites.
But I hate the blond hair on Donna. What was she thinking?

14. It was for the part in a movie
that will either ignite her career or snuff it out. She plays Karla Homolka notorious serial killer. The film has most of Canada royally pissed off.

She should go back to red, but I guess with hair that long it could take a while.

21. I agree, Professor. The first two seasons were great.
But then the show slid downhill in quality to the point where it's now virtually unwatchable.

11. Watched the earlier seasons regularly
The dad always reminded me of the father of a set of brothers I was friends with growing up.

12. Season 3 is going to be on DVD in November!
I drive my whole family nuts with my obsession over it. It's in syndication to the point where I can watch it for 90 minutes straight every day. I don't care if I've seen most of the episodes six times. This is the life I wish I would have led. Unfortunately I was only 7-10 years old during those years.

The writing on it has admittedly gone downhill since season 5, though.

22. Same here
It so reminds me of my misguided youth. I was in high school at the same time of the show (class of 1976); OK, I am one year off, but hey man, like what's a year man...

For once there is something about the 70s which is not disco-filled, smiled faced crapola.

Love the show.
