Summary: "We're ALL all right!"
Review: Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and his friends are growing up in an era of change, mysticism, intrigue, and eclecticism, and this television retro-comedy documents their misadventures and mischief. Hyde (Danny Masterson) is probably the most laid back of the bunch, preferring a simple approach to life, while the odd undertakings of Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) serve as comic relief throughout the season's entirety. Donna (Lora Prepon) is the more conservative book-worm of the group, as well as Eric's girlfriend. Jackie (Mila Kunis), Kelso's girlfriend, is the girl with the snobby, egocentric viewpoint whom everyone loves to hate. Meanwhile, foreign exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) is not only trying to find his place in the era and world, as is every teenager, but also his place in a new country. Together they are on a perpetual quest for beer, the infinite wisdom to found in the pot-smoking circle, and all around good times.
In addition to Eric's cast of friends, the show also involves Eric's parents Red and Kitty (Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp). As is true for any parents, no matter what decade, there are differing viewpoints and philosophies that come into play. Though set in the 70's, the dilemmas presented and the issues posed (not merely with regards to the "parental units") are relevant to teenagers and young adults of any decade, regardless of the current fashion and music trends.
I must admit that when this show first came out I did not give it the chance it deserved. I pretty much despise most of what came out of the 70's and figured that a show set during that decade would not appeal to me. Thus, I never watched even a single episode up until the show's fifth season. Now, however, I'm hooked. I'm so glad these are coming out on DVD. Therefore, even though I missed the first few seasons I can still catch up on the odd ventures of Eric Forman and his band of friends.
Tacky clothing and interior decorating aside, the charisma between the cast is excellent and the writing is lighthearted and humorous. As with any television show, there are some episodes that are much better than other episodes. Sometimes the dim-wittedness of Kelso seems a little over-the-top, and there are times when Jackie's character gets a little too irritating (though both pull off their roles quite well nonetheless). However, overall it's a great show that makes for a pleasurable viewing experience.
Though the DVD extras on this set leave something to be desired, it's still well worth it to be able to watch the shows sequentially, on your own time, and without commercials.
I watch very little television at all, but when I'm in the mood for some blithe humor I turn to That 70's Show. This show definitely ranks up there among my favorites, and I look forward to the release of the remaining seasons on DVD as well.

Summary: Just recently gotten into "That 70's Show."
Review: I got this DVD boxset for Christmas and let me to ya'll a lil' something...IT IS ONE OF MY FAV presents! 25 full episodes, the COMPLETE first season! 25 episodes is A LOT for one season (since a regular season of any show usually consists of 13 episodes...).
BONUS FEATURES ON DVD:
You get a world-view TV spot of the show, which was very, very cool to see, man. (HEHE)
Also you get a longish feature of "The Makings," featuring the whole cast. They explain the first season, thus introducing you to their feelings of the characters they play.
ALSO you get a mini-quiz (questions told by the cast). Ashton, Wilmer, Topher, Laura, and Mila ask you questions. Danny Masterson and the rest of the cast arn't featured in the quiz bonus.
If you love unique, funny, and original story ideas than you should watch "That 70's Show." (and did you know that the show in general is coming back for an 8th season this fall?)
THIS DVD BOXSET WILL KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS...HANGIN' OUT...

Summary: best season
Review: I think Season 1 was the best, with 2 and 3 coming in close. They jumped the shark with the 100th episode that was a musical--paintful to watch.
Anyway, mainly wanted to comment that the special features listed here at Amazon are nowhere to be found on the disks as far as I can tell--No Cheap Trick music video, no Never-before-seen cast auditions, and the itneractive trivia challenge is NOT interactive...they just ask about 5 questions and give you the answer right away. I was particularly disappointed that there were no cast audition clips as described.

Summary: A great way to escape from the day's stressors
Review: Nice packaging, great content (including some scenes I don't remember seeing when it was aired), good ensemble cast, and an all around quality product. Truly 'laugh out loud funny'. We're looking forward to all the subsequent seasons.

Summary: YAY!
