That 70's Show was still on?Follow

I haven't had a TV hook-up in the home for the last three years so I haven't been keeping track but I would have guessed that show was long gone except in syndicated re-runs.

What in God's name have they been doing the last three-four years? Has it sucked royally or did it manage to maintain a semblance of humor? How did they write Topher and Ashton out of the show and did they bring in replacement characters? They didn't bring in a five year old kid and declare him a nephew or cousin who had to live with the family, did they?

No, there really hasnt been any humor in the show for a while now.

Topher's character is now in Africa doing charity work because he needed to find himself. Him and Donna have seperated, and little mention is made of him.

The person that is replacing Topher (who is, who'd have guessed it, lanky and a red head) was akwardly inserted into the show by interacting with Tommy Chong's character for some reason. He then just kinda hung around the record store that Hyde runs, and has a blatant love interest for Donna.

If I remember correctly, Ashton left by going to work for Bruce Willis as a bouncer at a strip club. They did a whole episode with Ashton and Bruce and was billing it as "how will Demi's old and new lovers act?" The answer was "like shi[b][/b]t."

You can probably hop on a bittorrent site and get one of the newer episodes so you can see what you aren't missing.

I never watched the show, I find FOX humor blek. I had no clue it was on for this long, I thought it hit syndication because it got dumped awhile back.

I watched Malcom a couple times, nothing spectacular.

I think a show generally has to hit a certain number of episodes before going into syndication, regardless if it is still on the air. I think the usual minimum number is 100. Whenever a show hits 100 episodes it would be a candidate for syndication even if new shows are being aired.

Actually, I think the shark jumping moment was when they recreated the Happy Days scene from which the term 'shark jumping' was invented.

Yeah, and I think the 100 episodes thing is just a general rule of thumb but not a hard and fast rule.

Yup, everyone still stays at the forman house. Hyde still lives in the basement, which is how they explain it.



They added a new actress for a while, who received a poor reception. They don't make any mention of her any more. (Kinda like the little sister in Family Matters)


He is married to a stripper that he met in Vegas and now the two of them live in the room he was using in the Forman's basement. As stated above, it is how they explain the whole "gang" still spening a majority of their time at the Forman household.

For a while Fez and Kelso had an apartment together, which I think now Donna and Jackie live in. They will have an occasional scene over there, but it could be done just as well at any other location.

It is my understanding is that 100 episodes is the SAG negotiatied magic number at which the actors get a royalty share when a TV show is syndicated. Any shows with less than 100 episodes that are in syndication the actors do not get royalties for, and there are at least a couple of them.

Shows can enter into syndication at any time, regardless of the number of episodes. I think Malcolm went into syndication after only two years, and once they finally hit 100 episodes then a % of the company's syndication take has to go to the actors as royalties,

A lot of FOX shows have been cancelled recently, and there is a good reaosn for each of them.

Tru Calling: Don't try to compete with CSI(they moved it into the same time slot as CSI), it won't work.

Malcolm in the middle: They moved the f[/b]ucking show to Friday!!!!

That 70s Show: it's been 1979 for 3 years now...

Arrested Development: They moved the show to Monday...big mistake.

Shows that will soon be cancelled:

Bones: They just moved it to the same time slot as CBS's Criminal Minds. Though Bones is a good show, Criminal Minds is better and already just as, if not more popular.

BErnie Mac: This show is just old. It sucks now.

Trading Spouses: People are going to get tired of this s[b]hit really soon(hopefully)

Shows that should be cancelled but won't be because of their popularity:

The O.C.: This show is just another copy of every other f[/b]ucking piece of s[b]hit, unrealistic drama about teens for stupid teens. I want whoever vreated this show to die a horrifically long and painful death.

American Idol: I just hate this show.

Nanny 911: I don't give a s[/b]hit how much some peopel suck as parents, I'm more concerned as to why they decided to have as many kids as they did(I think one episode had a family with like 12 f[b]ucking kids, wtf?) And I think that if they can't control their f[b][/b]ucking kids, the Children's Aid needs to take the kids away.

Shows that are awesome and should never be cancelled: The entire Sunday night Lineup,

24: this show is Fox's best show....ever.

Madtv: it sucks compared to SNL but when SNL is a rerun, it's nice to be able to watch a different sketch comedy show.

House: I have to admit, this is a pretty good show.

I've been awake for 34 hours, I should have the right to rant about stuff that doesn't matter at all if I want to.

i love this show....

Spider Man 3 with the afore mentiones Topher Grace as Venom is slated for 2007 release....

ha ha...Sadly, no drugs aside from massive amounts of caffeine were part of my being awake for this long, It's the end of the semester and I had a final project due today and worked all night on it...only to find out that the teacher was away so we had a one day extension on it. I wish I had taken the Law Class instead of the Accounting Class....
