The season before that is also kind poo. Not to the extent that the final season took a massive nosedive, but everything after Donna turned blonde is kinda not good.

I got tired of it after the entire cast kept circling around banging each other. The writers really seemed to be grasping at any sort of friction to keep things going.

My favorite is when they, with like six episodes remaining in the series, decide that Jackie is in love with Fez and they try to jam a whole season’s worth of “will they won’t they” in to those six episodes. At the beginning of one episode she won’t even acknowledge her feelings for Fez, by the end of the next episode she’s saying “I’ve wanted this for so long!” Fantastic writing guys.

All these years later and I still remember Kelso ripping on Jackie about it. "First she had me, the Ferarri, then she moved down to Hyde, the mustang, and now she has Fez who's like a donkey pulling a cart"

I'm curious how That 90s Show is going to handle the ending of That 70s Show overall. Eric and Donna got to the point they were terrible and unbearable seeing those two together as a couple by the time Topher Grace left. Jackie and Fez were the worst pairing. I think majority of us preferred Jackie and Hyde but we all know Danny Materson is out of the picture.

I hope they disregard the entirety of season eight as a possibility.

Someone said that Jackie was going to be with Kelso in That 90s Show, which it's like... okay the actors are married in real life, but Jackie was always better with Hyde and it's not as if they couldn't just recast Hyde.

My That 90s Show idea that I came up with a week before they actually announced they were doing it would've had it turn out that Eric and Donna had a long discussion after the finale and decided that while they'll basically always love each other, their lives have always been going in different directions and that was especially true with her officially going to college finally, so they have like one last fling and then part as friends. And I just ignored the Jackie/Fez thing, instead I had Jackie has a multiple-times divorcee (she figured out she really liked having weddings but not being married) who was an egg donor for Fez and his common law husband.

It’s certainly debatable, but I’d rather not have Hyde at all than have him recast. Danny Masterson is a garbage-level human being that doesn’t deserve to come back, but he killed it in the original show. If you did bring him back, everyone would hyper-focus on whoever the new actor was and how it just “wasn’t Hyde”. Add to that the fact that Hyde as a character easily just fits into a throwaway “oh yeah he’s in jail”, so to me that’s definitely the best path

Fuck Danny Masterson, but it would be fucking awful to cap off Hyde’s character arc in the original with “Oh he’s in jail now.”

Personally I'd prefer “he's working at a photo shop in Chicago”

I just want to see Red finally put his foot up someone’s ass as promised. So many contenders.

Hopefully we will I'm curious about the new cast of kids too I think Leia will be fine as a new character from the small snippet we've seen of her so far.

I was obsessed with the show years ago and literally stopped around the time Donna went blonde. Dunno why, I just never got around to finishing the show. :/
