That '70s Show - Season 7 (1998)

The old saying that the more things change, the more things stay the same seems almost custom-built for the seventh season of the popular sitcom That '70s Show. Not only did the 2004-2005 season mark the departure of its two biggest stars--Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher, who left to embark on their movie careers--but Hyde (Danny Masterson, the show's perennial MVP) meets his biological father (WKRP in Cincinnati's Tim Reid) and sister (Megalyn Echikunwoke); Red (Kurtwood Smith) ends his financial worries by opening a muffler shop; and Fez (Wilmer Valderamma) moves in with Kelso (Kutcher) to provide a "safe" home for his baby. Old faces make return engagements as well, including Midge Pinciotti (Tanya Roberts), Kelso's brother Casey (Luke Wilson), who coaches Eric through a remedial gym course, and Leo (Tommy Chong), who offers to help Kelso with his daughter. There's also a new member of the gang (Bret Harrison of Reaper), a new hair color for Donna (blond, though it's not reflected on the set's cover art), and plenty of fun guest stars (Lindsay Lohan as a potential love interest for Fez, Eliza Dushku as a scheming intern at Hyde's father's radio station, and Brooke Shields, The Office's Jenna Fischer, and Bob Newhart Show vet Jack Riley). And if the show's loose and bawdy charm seems to have dimmed a bit in these episodes, the comfortable interplay between the cast members still feels the banter of real friends and family, which remains the key to the show's long-running appeal. The four-disc Season 7 set includes light-hearted commentary by director David Trainor, who waxes effusively about his cast on three episodes (season opener "Time Is On My Side," "Angie," and season finale "Till the Next Goodbye"). Behind the Polyester is a short chat with the show's executive producers on developing the seventh season, and there's a capsule review of the season's shenanigans, as well as promos for all of its episodes. Finally, the underpraised Don Stark (perennially clueless Bob Pinciotti) reminiscences about his favorite moments from the show, especially his garish outfits and headgear. -- Paul Gaita Amazon.com

If only this were the final season

Many fans of That 70's Show wish this was the final season, as the show limped through a disappointing 8th. But there was definitely no drop-off in the quality here. Buy the DVD's, because you'll want to watch them over and over, and the syndicated re-runs only show some episodes. April 2, 2008

My reviews

If you like the "That '70s Show you will enjoy this season 7. Lots of fun. March 25, 2008

Not the best season but still funny.

That '70s Show - Season Seven isn't a standout season, there were a lot of changes this season, Topher Grace left the show at the end of this season. Donna colors her gorgeous red hair blonde (and she still has it that way!) Fez and Kelso become roommates, and Hyde finds out his biological father is African-American (one of the dumbest decisions ever made on this show!). There are some good episodes but a lot of plots feel empty and forced. Season eight is a lot worse than seven but this show is truly creative.

My Favorite Series

That '70s Show - Season 7
This is a great show. Brings you back to your teen years. Even if you did not resemble these kids, you know you knew a few people back in school that did. I never watched it until I caught the reruns of it and I was instantly hooked and had to own the series. You won't be disappointed and if you are then you need to loosen up and not take life so serious. Laughing is the best therapy next to chocolate! :o) March 3, 2008
