That 70's Show will end next year.
From IMDB.com News:
===========
Ashton Kutcher is bringing another of his hit TV shows to an end, after announcing the next season of That 70s Show will be the last. Kutcher and his sitcom co-stars have decided to bring the show to an end next year. Co-star Topher Grace says, "It's out of respect to the show. We have so much fun but you know when these shows kind of get lame after a while, well, we want to go out while it's still good. Ashton and I, our contracts are done this year but we actually signed up for another year. But we wanna end it."
===========
I think this is a good idea. The show has had a good run, but I don't want the show to go on so long that I have to start picking out the seasons I like and the seasons I hate (i.e. Friends, The Simpsons, etc...).

Actually, the 70's will be ending right as the series ends. 1 season of the series = 6 months in the characters lives. 2 seasons=1 year. I remember this being explained by the producers.
The show began in 1976, so 8 seasons means it'll become the 80's at the end of the series run.

I think this show has been on long enough and it's definitely time for it to be moving on (I really have only sporadically watched since the second season). Has it already been eight years, boy I'm getting old. It felt like this one just started only a couple of years back.

The next and last season will be its 7th, which is fine by me. I have actually been waiting for this announcement for a while and not because the show is bad (it's still great, imo), but the people involved are going to want to move on, particularly the show's young actors. Might as well stop while things are still good.
Ashton Kutcher will be back on tv in the next five years. He is better suited for sitcoms.
Topher Grace's career will have longevity. I can't say that for any of the other young member's of the cast (who haven't done much outside the show).

Glad to hear they've actually decided to bring it to an end(still a great show...but it's time). Thanks for all those great moments since 1976... oops i mean 1998.

The obvious series final show will take place on Dec 31, 1979 and the final minutes it will be 1980. At least this is how I would write it.

Probably a good thing. With this one and S&TC leaving, there won't be many worthwhile comedies left to watch on television.
