Movie Reviews of That '70s Show - Season Two
Movie Review: DOWN THE STREET!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
That 70's Show is greatest show on TV. The show's cast is fantastic and all have great chemistry with one another. Every one of the characters is as hillarious as they are diverse. The show revolves around the gang of 6: Main character Eric Foreman, his next door neighbor and girlfriend Donna Pinciotti, Best friend and Zenmaster/conspiracy theorist Steven Hyde, the wild and less than intellegent Kelso and his spoiled rich girlfriend Jackie, and of course Foreign Exchange (Z)Student: FEZ. Other characters include: Eric's parents (who are equally central) Hardass Reginald "RED" Foreman and wife Kitty. Also Donna's parents and Hyde's hippy boss Leo (Tommy Chong).
All of these characters are hillarious and original. That 70's Show is a character driven show. To really get addicted to the show you have to get aquainted with the characters to a certain degree. The show is histerical but it is also about more than comedy. There is a lot of character development and serious moments over the years. The show is NOT about the 70's, it only takes place in them, that is one reason why it is so sucessful; it is really timeless in many ways.
Season 2 is excellent and is a huge step up from the 1rst. The first season was great but this is the year that the show really starts to take off and find it's zone. The show just keeps getting better from here on out. Kelso is a fan favorite but he isn't the highlight of the show in these earlier years. The show is revolved around alot of things but the relationship of Eric and Donna is at the center, especially in this season. The best storyline of them is the episode in which Donna tells Eric she loves him in which Eric replies "I Love Cake". Freaked out about the turn of events he turns to the guidence of his friends. There are few story's with Hyde and Fez this year but there presence is still central and they are still hillarious. There are great storylines with Eric's parents and Kelso's messed up relationship with Jackie and a new relationship between Kelso and Foreman's sister Laurie.
One of the best aspects of the show is the extreme creativity. Among the best creative sequences include the circle scenes in which virtualy every line is a punchline. And the fantasy's which aren't really a major part until the 3rd year. Other great features are the phycidelic scene changers. Everything about this show is 100% original, that is a huge part of it's allure.
As far as the DVD's are concerned I was a little dissapointed. First the absence of the original 70's music played between scenes. I understand why they are cut from syndication, because of the price. But we payed to get the original network broadcasts and FOX couldn't dish out a few bucks!!! The music is important, it gives the show a nice feel of authenticity and many times it provides the central atmosphere. FOX really slapped their fans in the face. The special features were also a let down. What sitcom on DVD has NO bloopers??? There are also no deleted scenes and I KNOW they had some. The behind the scenes looks are very short and mostly uninteresting. They aren't what you'd expect at all. Plus there are no interviews with the cast. Regardless... this set is a MUST BUY for fans of comedy. That 70's Show is non stop hillarity.
Some of the best Season 2 moments include: Kelso's attempt to cheat on Jackie, Kelso setting Jackie's house on fire. Red's friendship with "dumbass" neighbor Bob Pinciotti. Hyde's zenmaster teachings. Foreman's screwing up with his relationship with Donna. The 360 smoking scenes. The many punchlines of FEZ. The gang getting into trouble. Any scenes with Leo. ECT... ECT.... That 70's Show is one of the best shows ever. It is very underrated. This DVD set is a must own.
Summary of That '70s Show - Season Two
A group of teenaged friends come of age during the 1970s.Genre: Television: Series
Rating: NR
Release Date: 19-APR-2005
Media Type: DVD
As That '70s Show's second season begins, Eric's buddy Hyde (Danny Masterson) and college dropout-sister Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly) are still living with the Formans, but a few things have changed. Red (Kurtwood Smith) is about to lose his job, due to layoffs at the plant, and both the opening sequence and theme, "That '70s Song" (Cheap Trick's version of Big Star's "In the Street"), have been revamped. Otherwise, all the first season characters and their favorite hangouts, like Eric's basement and Vista Cruiser, are back. Granted, Red accidentally sells the car during season opener "Garage Sale," but it isn't gone for long (blame Hyde's "special" brownies).
As usual, the 1999-2000 season--1977-1978 in the show's chronology--was graced by a number of 1970s vets. "Red's Last Day" has singer Paul Anka and Lyle Waggoner (Wonder Woman), "Halloween" has Marion Ross (Happy Days)," "The First Time" has Maud Adams (The Man With the Golden Gun), and "Holy Crap" has singer/actor Mac Davis (North Dallas Forty). Then there's Tommy Chong (Up in Smoke), who became a frequent guest, as Fotohut owner Leo, in five of the 26 episodes and would return for several more seasons. Yet another notable episode, "Afterglow," features a Scooby-Doo-styled animated sequence.
By the end of the year, Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) will have taken their relationship to the next level, Jackie (Mila Kunis) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) will have broken up, and Red will have gotten a job at the Pricemart--where he supervises Eric. The second season will end with a cliffhanger ("Moon Over Point Place") when Hyde is arrested (for something he didn?t actually do). The "sticky" situation will be resolved in the first episode of season three ("Reefer Madness"). --Kathleen C. Fennessy
