    Has anybody else been following this being re-shown on 3e?

    I remember, when I first watched it, I was young enough to think actually was created in the 70s.

    I never saw more than the first series or two and thought that was all there was to it - very funny now watching it progress.

    I still can't take Donna seriously as a blonde.

    Seen every ep. on Trouble, they ran these great marathons....they showed season 1-8 all the way through, 2 episodes per day, unedited, all in chronological order!, fair dues to Trouble for that....i miss that channel!

    Hah, weird. I had the random urge a month or so ago to watch That '70s show again after hearing nothing about it for eons, have it on my harddrive at the moment and absolutely love it (though I didn't bother grabbing season 8).

    Weird that it started to be re-shown around the same time!

    started watching it at the end of february and finished it there last week, great show

    very few other show finales can make me as emotional as the last episode of season 8, mainly the last 3-4 minutes. I grew up with those kids, always hurts a little to see the show end.

    Absolutely loved it for six seasons and then just stopped watching. Still haven't seen the finale either so I'll do that anyway. Or should I watch season 7 and 8 or can I just jump right to the end?

    Love it, one of my favourites.
    The casting guys outdid themselves with this one.

    I was pretty young when I first watched it, and it was only by rewatching it years later that I realised what "the circle" actually meant. :o Oh childhood innocence....

    I'd say there was a few worried guys in casting after a 14 year old got the part to play the smoking hot girlfriend

    Strange, my friend was just saying yesterday how he started re-watching this and it was just as good as teh first time. I was never that big a fan when it was on, but in the absence of anything remotely funny on TV this month I might give it another shot.

    the loss of Eric and Kelso, and the addition of Randy (ugh..) really killed season 8 off imo

    great ending though - always gets me... :'(

    I always wanted a basement like the one in That 70s show.

    Also Jackie was and still is smoking.

    I quite like that 70's show. Anyone remember the spin off - That 80's show? Lasted like half a season before being cancelled for being truly madly and deeply terrible...

    Oh and Jackie ftw.

    Just finished watching the series right through and now I don't know what to replace it with. Looking for something with a lot of episodes that is funny and not rubbish that I haven't seen before but drawing a blank. I was thinking about Malcolm in the Middle but the few bits I've seen of it were kind of irritating.

    Other then the obvious long termers (fraiser/seinfeld), My Name is Earl might be worth a look in. I really enjoyed Arrested Development also. Neither of them nearly as long running as 70s show though..

    3rd rock from the sun?

    also malcolm in the middle is an amazing show, i wasn't crazy about it at first but once I got into it.. it's just one of the funniest shows ever made

    It really started to go downhill after about the 6th season IMO.

    it did a bit, but there were still some gems here and there

    before the drop though, the earlier seasons were ridiculously funny. the episode where hal teaches malcolm to roller skate is one of funniest things that has ever been filmed.

    *Shudder*

    dear gods its so bad it even makes emma pierson look plain.

    that woman was a lash in "time gentlemen please".

    all the more painfull to watch when you consider its american version about jerry ford.

    a clear example of casting actualy bloody mattering.
