Its really annoying that I cant do a search for "that 70s show" on this forum - it says 70s is below the 4letter minimum length.
Anyhoo, was there a jump between the 5th and 6th seasons? They changed the actress who played eric's sister. Bob's GF vanished. In 5th season Laurie was on track to being a nice person - back to mean in 6th. Red beacme nicer, but he stopped doting on Laurie.

Now that they dropped this wedding thing, hopefully we can get back to the non stop hilarity.

Blonde Donna

The Kitty/Red stuff was once again the funniest part of the show.

Wow. 7 seasons in and it still hasn't jumped the shark. This show is amazing. I hope Fox has a pretty snappy schedule planned for season sets, because I can't wait to watch this series again on DVD.

I wonder why women feel the need to get blonde hair. Especially redheads. They stand out more to me. Blonde hair has gotten to be generic.

Yeah, this is the only sitcom I've ever watched in my entire life besides Seinfeld & for the same reason, it never get's stale or "jumps the shark". The key is the cast is the same & they have always stayed true to the characters & the writing.

YES! I didnt like the blond look either.
It seems Donna and Fez have slimmed down.

Not the best episode, but Blonde Donna made up for it.

From reading the preview in EW, it sounds like they've decided to ditch the subplot regarding Kelso's baby.

yeah, I wasn't a fan of Blonde Donna. She just looks like another plain blonde. I WANT REDHEAD DONNA BACK!

From the radio commercials i've heard, they haven't, as they play audio clips of the water breaking + stupid comment by Kelso.

Not a bad episode. I love how they're still milking the Kelso as a cop thing. It always cracks me up.

Good point. I don't recall them ever doing a "very special" clip show either.

Cool. I got a bit worried since it wasn't even mentioned in this episode.

They did a 100th Episode Spectacular, but I suppose I can let that slide.

I personally didn't enjoy the season where Donna and Eric broke up, it seemed ridiculous how Eric suddenly became the most eligible man in school...

I am ready for this show to die, even though I really enjoy it. Having them break up only to get back together to get enaged and not go to college only cancel the wedding seems trite to me. The characters aren't growing, they are locked in the same spots they were before.

I also wouldn't morn the passing of this show if it went off the air. Don't get me wrong, I love it to death, but I don't want it to be one of those shows that goes on too long and becomes unberable to watch. Fox either cance;s shows WAY too early or they let good shows go on WAY too long. I hope they get some sense slapped into them about this show.

Anybody know how long the actors' contracts are good for? And is Midge back on the series for good?

I liked it at first, but I was ready for her to change it back by the end of the show I really hope that wasn't the last of Brooke Shields on this show. She's never looked better.

I loved the end with Eric telling Red his plan. I hope the next episode continues right from that scene. "Make me" The boy is dead!

Too bad Quintuplets was a disappointment. I hadn't heard about the show until I saw it on the schedule. I had high hopes between the theme song and the presence of Andy Richter. The parents' scenes were ok, but the kids portion was like one of the many Saved by the Bell clones. It didn't deserve it's own thread, so I thought I'd post it here

I thought it was announced last year that Aston Kutcher said this will be his final season. So I'm guessing this is it.

Not just his final season, but everybody's.

If he is leaving I would hope they'd end it there. It wouldn't be the same without Kelso. Just behind Red and Kitty, Hyde and Kelso are my favorite pair on the show.

I don't see them ending the show that soon though. Otherwise I think they would've gone ahead with the wedding.

When I saw her on Conan at the beginning of the summer, she was blonde. Looked pretty damn hot to me [and blondes aren't my first preference..].

I believe this is Topher Grace's last season also.
