Without Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher I knew this one was coming. Still sad for me as it was once my favorite show. Mostly because Eric and Donna reminded me of myself and my high school girlfriend. Oh well, all good things must pass



"THAT '70s SHOW" SAYS GOODBYE TO AN ERA WITH THE 200TH EPISODE AND SERIES FINALE THIS MAY ON FOX

THAT '70s SHOW packs up the polyester bellbottoms, Zeppelin 8-tracks and lava lamps when it ends its eight-season run Thursday, May 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The series finale also marks the 200th episode milestone.

THAT '70s SHOW premiered on Aug. 23, 1998. Set in Point Place, Wisconsin, the series follows a group of friends who get by with a little help from each other. The show stars Mila Kunis, Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama, Kurtwood Smith, Debra Jo Rupp, Josh Meyers, Don Stark and Tommy Chong. For seasons one through seven, Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher were also regular cast members.

The series created some signature elements that made it a hit over the years, including the surreal dream sequences, the 360-degree basement scenes and the classic '70s score. Numerous '70s icons have stopped by to guest-star, including Danny Bonaduce, Alice Cooper, Marion Ross, Eve Plumb, Ted Nugent, Valerie Harper and Roger Daltrey from The Who. This season, Don Knotts, Mary Tyler Moore Tom Bosley and Isaac Hayes are joining the list. Additionally, Luke Wilson, Lindsay Lohan, Bruce Willis, Brooke Shields, Seth Green and Jessica Simpson have also guest-starred.

The show was ranked No. 1 among entertainment programming in its Wednesday night time period among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34, Men 18-49/18-34/25-54 and Teens. THAT '70s SHOW also ranks in the Top 10 primetime comedies of the season among Adults 18-34 (No. 9) and Teens (No. 8) [out of 47 regular 6-net comedies].

Also cancled is 'Malcom in the Middle', one of the most under rated programs ever IMO.

I haven't seen it in years, but how did they keep the show going 4 years after they graduated? Did they all still live at home?

In a way I'm glad it was cancelled. Not because I didn't like the show but, this way I'll be able to watch all the episodes finally. As far as Malcom my girlfriend won't be happy. but...read previous.

The thing with those teen shows is, well, the teens grow up. Malcolm is like almost 18 now and Kelso's married to Demi Moore.... nuff said. That's why the Simpsons live on!

Good while they lasted tho!

although i was never a regular viewer of the simpsons, as of late the show has become well, stale in my opinion. friends of mine who watch the simspons religiously still watch it but agree it's not as great as it used to be.

that 70's show was a greta show... it sucks it's cancelled but ill finally be able to download a torrent within an month and see all ofit now, i missed a lot of eps.

That 70's Show reminds me of That 90's decade... because that's when I watched it.

8 seasons is a good run. Unless they want to start gettin into Donna doin some baby birthin.


Theeeeee siiiimpsooooons... they will always rule. The show hasn't gotten any worse, we've just all grown older. The Simpsons are always kind of out there, but when you compare them to shows like The Family Guy, they seem lame in comparison. Kids these days, how radical do you need to be?

I can't say I'll miss it much,but for those who liked it, I'm sure it is a bummer.

yeah, let's see, it started in 1976, so 8 years later would put them in 1984, which is the year I was born. Scary. I'm getting old or the show has been on too long, lol.

That show didn't even remotely resemble the 70's that I remember.

Two and Half men are really funny.. Scrubs, and my name is earl.. Top shows, theres too many shows that have dull characters that cant carry the show. 70's show had a great cast to make it what it was.

on a complete switch of gears anyone remember "That 80's Show"?
didn't think so......they were both overrated with that 70's only being good in
the first 4 seasons.

That 80's Show lasted 3 episodes

I guess nobody liked the idea of a straight boy boning a broad with spikey hair.

I still like the show but I hate where the stories are going. I guess season 5 did bring many changes but it was still a well written show IMO. With out a Donna and Eric plot all is lost. Its sorta ending like real life though as everyone has moved away, no one ended up with their true loves and Hyde is going to prison or so Ive heard. Yep, real



Actually that 70's show is that 80's show since they are now in the 80's! I do remember the other 80's show though, aweful
