Well, tonight is the first time in a looooooooong time that I've seen any of the new episodes. But, who's the new guy???

 

[Chris R]

I used to watch it more often a few seasons back. Then I switched to evenings at work and couldnt watch it anymore. Havent seen it much this year or the last season. I have lost track of them on that show.

 

[marooned]

Oh yeah.

My kids refer to me as "Red" on a regular basis.

Great show :thumbsup:

 

[chevelless502]

I noticed that last night too. Also who is Hydes new hot g/f?

 

[hxturbo]

Great show from my era of growing up. Unfortunately I was "Eric". Good thing for him when he gets older he's going to be very cool and good looking My wife and I watch it all the time. Her favorite thing to call me now is "dumb ass". The new guy threw me too. I think they just plugged him in since Eric is gone. He is a friend somehow. I missed the first show of the season so maybe they explained it then. I dig Hyde's new stripper wife though. Being a cop, I love how they worked Kelso into being one. Did the new episode this week talk about him being fired?

I have no idea, lets get "in the circle" and think about it...lmao

that is not hydes g.f. it's his wife he married in a drunken stupor. loved the gennie outfit. the new guy is working at the record store. i liked the 70's show, but i think they jumped the shark, and it will not be renewed for next year. half the original cast is gone, and it seems they think they can just plug new characters in and it will work. i like the new wife, but other than that, it's going in the crapper. gotta love red though, he cracks me up....

So did the guy that plays Eric just quit the show? Or is he away from doing movies? I think it would be sort of dumb for him to quit the show, he's the main character.

he quit, he's already done three movies (so he's set for life) and from what i hear, the series will be done at the end of the season. the ratings aren't that high, and the payroll is inflated. arrested delvlopment has also been cancelled for next season......

but i think they jumped the shark

This is the second time I've heard this term this week! It's a perfect reference for me, but I wonder how many youngsters know what it refers to?

 

[red68chevL]

OK, i'll admit I'm a youngster. And as I was reading the above posts, I thought:

What's "jump the shark" mean?

Explain please!

In my opinion, one of the worst shows ever on TV. Right along side, and I know I will get slapped for this, The Family Guy. I hate both those shows.

That 70's show, is pretty funny, but I don't make a point of watching it regularly.

Those are 2 of my favorites! ...although I rarely catch them, because I'm usually doing something on Sundays. I really like My Name is Earl and The Office on Tuesdays though

I'm too young too, but I do know it involves the Fonze

The other day I saw it when "Fezz" married Lori and gave Red a heart attack. I love that show. Why all time favorite gag is the moving walls in the back ground. The other day I was watching a rerun where Erics mother was smoking the boys pot in the bathroom, when Hyde and Red were lecturing her their heads got blown up like balloons. I about past out from laughing so hard. I can relate to eveything in that show. I was the same age as Eric, but much more like Hyde in those days. I know the "circle" very well. :beers:

Everything you ever wanted to know about "jump the shark" can be found at jumptheshark.com.

Includes the moments when all TV shows started to go down hill. It's pretty funny.

Here is their page on "That 70's Show".

The "new guy" showed up and was hired by Hyde to work at his record shop after Leo sort of trashed the place.

As for Hyde's new girl, Hyde booked off to Las Vegas, got drunk and married a stripper. Much to ex girlfriend Jackie's dismay

My dad is in love with the redhead for some reason.
