I hope Ted McGinley will be in it.

Woah, what????

I hope Donna and Eric get married over the phone (lamest HD episode ever).

Bring on the Chachi!

Is anyone else feeling the Fezbot?

I just can't wait for when the T70sS timeline eventually catches up with the Robocop Era and Red Foreman kills them all.

― Huk-L, Monday, 17 January 2005 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Fez is a serial killer and offs them both at the end of the season.

I would pay good money to see the decapitated head of Ashton Kutcher in Fez's refridgerator.

You'd like to see the decapitated head of Ashton Kutcher in Jackie???

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

You gotta start somewhere.

So what year is it allegedly in the series? An eternal 1979?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I sometimes think that about ILM, Ned.

this is beyond shark-jumping.

Topher Grace >>>> Ron Howard

(esp if he doesn't direct bad movies)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Topher Grace was fucking atrocious on SNL last weekend. This may not be entirely his fault, however.

Darryl Hammond talking like a redneck = Ray Stevens singing like an Arab.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone seen that new movie where Topher teams up with Dennis Quaid and they go inside Martin Short's body?

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

That's beyond bad news particularly since I've been enjoying the current season so much so far.

So what year is it allegedly in the series? An eternal 1979?

Given the references this season to The Grand Illusion and Never Mind the Bollocks, probably 1977. Since that was also the year Star Wars came out (with no anticipation of a sequel ever taking place), I figure it's been 1977 since the series started. Earlier uses in the series of "2112" and "Alison" would appear to confirm this.

So time doesn't pass, but they do grow older? This is fascinating.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Like M*A*S*H.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

It's comic books in reverse, where time passes, but characters never age. Or at least age very slowly.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah. I for one am phenomenally grateful that they've chosen this approach instead of setting the current season in 1984.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just amazed that That 80s Show didn't bring down the whole franchise!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

But then we are all denied Phil Oakey haircuts! If I still watched the show, anyay.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I (like) how Happy Days got sloppy towards the end there on what year it was. It's like the seventies melted in, oozing long hair and bell-bottoms.

man, that was the lamest, they couldn't even get that actress to shave her head!

Even by punk standards, that's bad hair.

Well, there was an episode where a 'Ghost of Relationships Past, Present, and Future'-type figure showed Eric a scary future in the 80s. Fez had Flock of Seagulls-style hair. He sang "I Ran", accompanying himself on a Yamaha keytar.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, how is that scary?
