Movie Reviews of That '70s Show - Season 8
Movie Review: Not the Best (Contains Spoilers)
Summary: 4 Stars
Season eight of That '70s Show is the last season for this wonderful series. With Eric and Kelso gone (Kelso stays until the fourth or fifth episode, then moves to Chicago to help raise his daughter Betsy), there is a gap in the characters. This problem is fixed pretty quickly, with Randy and Samantha being featured in the show for quite a bit of this season. The idea of Randy in my opinion was not a great one, it seems as if the writers tried to make us miss Eric and Kelso less by giving Randy some of the qualities that they had. Season eight starts and ends well, but to me the middle 11 or 12 episodes are not as great as the episodes from previous seasons. I would not say that season eight is the best season, but I also would not call it the worst season of That '70s Show. To me Randy was not really a necessary character, I think they should have written him out of the storylines earlier and had Eric come back an episode or two prior to his series finale return. In addition, Randy seemed to lack humor when saying lines that the writers of the scripts thought were funny. The other characters seem as funny as ever, I really think Randy is the only character who seems to lack any sort of humorous side. Aside from the missing characters, new relationships occur. Donna and Randy get together, as well as Fez and Jackie towards the end of the series. In addition, we find out that Hyde has married a stripper (Samantha), which is not one of this season's best plotlines. Some characters have changed a lot over the eight seasons the show ran, but some characters like Red and Kitty really did not change too much and remained the same for the most part. Is season eight worth buying? Yes, even if the only reason you buy it is to see what happened to some of your favorite characters. Some episodes are up to the standards of the earlier seasons, others aren't. Its up to you to decide what you think of this final season of That '70s Show, and how it compares to the seven previous seasons.
Summary of That '70s Show - Season 8
Get ready to get down - the far out final season of That '70s Show is filled with outrageous laughs and some outta sight surprises! AS the decade draws to a close the gang bids farewell to the '70s and faces an uncertain future. While Donna gets over Eric with a little help from a new friend Hyde gets hitched....to a stripper! Jackie moves in with Fez revealing some hidden assets and the Formans confront an empty nest that's not nearly empty enough for Red. Put on your platforms and gather 'round the groove tube people. It's time to party like it's 1979!System Requirements:Running Time: 506 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543501411 Manufacturer No: 2250141All groovy things must come to an end, and the season-eight DVD set marks the conclusion of the popular retro/teen comedy That '70s Show with a fair amount of nostalgic extras to help ease the blow for fans. Though the producers were clearly angling to extend the program's lifespan with the introduction of new characters, most notably Josh Meyers as new kid Randy, That '70 Show had clearly run its course by season eight. It simply couldn't overcome the loss of key players Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher (who appears in only a handful of episodes here)--the show's real heart and humor--despite stalwart support by Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama (and the unbeatable duo of Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp), and the gags feel unfocused and cartoonish. Still, there are amusing episodes to be found throughout the set, most notably "You're My Best Friend" (Hyde has a disastrous bachelor party prior to his even more horrible marriage to stripper Samantha), "My Fairy King" (Jackie discovers her feelings for Fez), and the finale, which ushers the gang into the 1980s with an agreeable touch of sentiment. Supplemental features fall in line with all the previous '70s Show sets; director David Trainer provides commentary on four episodes, including the finale, while co-star Tommy Chong and Meyers get their own "Flashback" retrospectives to discuss their time on the series. Trainer reappears to provide a tour of two of the series' most famous sets: the Foreman's house and the water tower, while "Season 8 in 8 Minutes" is another extraneous montage of clips. The set's best extra--and perhaps the most valuable for series fans--is the 25-minute That '70s Show Through the Years: A Retrospective, which provides interviews with the main cast members culled from the show's entire network run. -- Paul Gaita
