“That 70s Show” is a series that I didn’t get into until after the series went into syndication. I think it season 5 or so. For some reason I’d never checked it out, but after I found it – I can truly say that I’m sorry I didn’t see it from the beginning.

The series was an is a true classic of American sitcoms. Even at times when the writing of the show took a dip, or went in an odd direction, the cast of the series made it work, and created some really memorable characters.

Season 8 feels a bit odd, and the series did probably run one season too long, but its all worth it for that final episode…which was one of the best marketed series finale of all time. Topher Grace had left the series at the end of Season 7 – and I very clearly remember as my wife and I were watching it on the night it aired, we had not idea if he was going to show up or not. There had been no official announcement – and we didn’t know how it was going to end.

Needless to say, the ending was very satisfying, and well done.

This is one of those series that I will be adding the complete series to my collection. If you’re not sure if “That 70s Show” is right for you just check it out on FX…or The N…or ABC Family…or any of your local syndicated stations. It comes on about 8 times a day in my area…I’m sure you can find it on somewhere.

If you want it all in one place in a cool collector’s box, you can grab it when its released on October 14, 2008 for $199 (or less if you look hard enough).
