Just a cute pic that was in another fan group that I wanted to share

Rewatching this show for the first time since I was like 9 so don’t remember much of it but I’m halfway through season 4 and I am starting to really dislike Donna. I find her to more often than not be in the wrong especially since the breakup and no one seems to call her out on it other than Eric who caves in by the end of ever episode because he ends up feeling bad. Donna always gets her way and Eric is always portrayed like the bad guy when I really don’t think he is. Seems like she has went downhill as a character honestly. Idk just thought I had to get this out cause it annoyed me the last few episodes.

I enjoy watching the problems of poor people on this show endlessly. Especially during the 70s when my family was and continues to be loaded beyond belief. Fucking fumbling over a station wagon or tv when my entire family could afford any car on earth

Please delete if not allowed: Asked ChatGpt to write a scene and its scary good to me.

Scene: The Forman Basement

(Eric is sitting on the couch flipping through a comic book. Jackie walks in wearing a chic but impractical outfit for a small Wisconsin town. She flounces down beside him, her perfume so strong you can almost see it wafting through the air.)

Jackie: Eric, I’ve been thinking. If we’re going to be the hottest couple in Point Place—you know, which we obviously are—we need to, like, coordinate our looks. You should wear more turtlenecks. They’ll hide your... neck situation.

Eric (not looking up): My neck situation is just fine, thank you. And for the record, I don’t want to be the “hottest couple” in Point Place. I’d rather be the quietest couple. You know, the kind where the girlfriend doesn’t talk so much.

Jackie (offended): Excuse me? Do you even know what it takes to maintain this level of hotness? Talking is part of the deal, Eric! I mean, have you seen Donna’s roots lately? It’s tragic.

Eric (finally looking at her): You’re really selling yourself here, Jackie. Honestly, the whole “you’re hot, but only when you’re not talking” thing wasn’t supposed to be an invitation for more talking.

(Before Jackie can retort, Red walks in. He’s wiping grease off his hands with a rag, looking surprisingly upbeat.)

Red (gruffly, to Jackie): Hey, kid. You’re early.

Jackie (brightening up): Hi, Red! I brought you those lug nuts you needed. They’re in my car. And I stopped at the auto shop and got that carburetor cleaner you were out of!

Red (nods approvingly): Good work. At least someone around here isn’t a complete dumbass. [glares briefly at Eric]

Eric (incredulous): Wait, wait, wait. Since when are you two... friends?

Red: Friends? Hell no. But she’s got more sense in her little finger than you do in your whole body. She knows her way around a car, doesn’t whine, and—unlike you—she actually listens.

Jackie (beaming): Aw, thanks, Red. That’s so sweet!

Eric (snapping out of it): Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you actually saying you like her? Like, Jackie Burkhart? The human equivalent of a car alarm?

Red (shrugging): She’s better company than you. And at least she brings me things I can use. What do you bring me?

Eric (muttering): Years of unconditional disappointment?

Red (grinning): Exactly.

(Red turns back to Jackie.)

Red: While you’re at it, maybe you can teach him how to hold a flashlight without screwing it up. I swear, watching him try to help me is like working with a blindfolded chimp.

Jackie (laughing): Oh, Red, you’re so funny. But honestly, you just need a firm tone. I can totally whip him into shape.

Eric (grumbling): Yeah, well, don’t come crying to me when she starts redecorating your garage.

(Red glares at Eric one last time and follows Jackie upstairs, leaving Eric alone on the couch.)

Eric (to himself): I’ve officially entered the Twilight Zone. Jackie and Red teaming up. What’s next, Fez becoming a Navy SEAL?

(Cue laugh track and theme music.)

I take that she can sometimes make mistake and the fact that people behave like she is out of Eric's league does not help make her likeable. It seems however that she is probably the most normal person in the gang. She tried to support Jackie when she thought that she was pregnant, she is loyal towards her while the latter is always mocking her looks. She truly loves Eric and tried to be loyal to him. She gave up concert tickets so Fez can date crazy Carole. She is a decent human being most of the time which cannot be said about the others.

I know, I know. This one might be taboo but hear me out. We’ve seen Jackie date everyone on the show except Eric. Now let’s pretend her relationships with Hyde and Fez didn’t happen for a moment. There was a small window where they were both single. Donna dumped Eric and Jackie dumped Kelso (again). What would that relationship have looked like? And how long would it have lasted? They didn’t hate each other or really have any negative feelings towards each other. She actually came to him when she suspected Kelso might be cheating on her. Plus they both really hated Laurie. Let me know what yall think. Was it better that this wasn’t explored or would you have liked to see it play out even if it only lasted for half or a full season.

Just curious as i know that a common gag in the show was the characters enjoying weed, but what I wanted to know was how much could be shown on the series as basically what I wanted to know was what exactly was allowed to be shown in the series.

For instance, while the characters have their circle kind of moment where they go around in a circular pattern doing some kind of ritual, I again wanted to understand how strict the broadcasting standards were on the show as I wasn’t sure if any depiction of weed was allowed to be displayed.

Sorry if that came off odd, but to cut to the chase, I just simply wanted to know how much leeway the writers of the show had when it came to drug usage out of curiosity.

Doing a rewatch (for the trillionth time), and I’ve realised I haven’t seen people talk about this enough.

When she was kicked out of the basement, Jackie left too just to support her, even though Eric never said Jackie had to leave. Jackie also helped her start dating again during her breakup. She actually supported Donna a lot and had her back through many things. Donna on the other hand, always acted like Jackie was a burden and constantly belittled her. When Jackie’s family was splitting up, Donna didn’t even support her through it properly and literally had to have the Formans/her dad talk her into allowing Jackie to stay with them.

Then with Eric, he was always kissing her ass and doing his best to make her happy but she was just entitled most of the time in my opinion. She also got way with so much stuff that she would NEVER have allowed Eric to do. 3 examples:

1. Pretending to date Fez & kissing him just for Caroline to believe they were together. Technically cheating? lol. She would have scolded Eric if the roles were reversed.
2. Going to a wedding as a plus one with Mitch (a guy who was obviously trying to break them up so he could date her). Again, she would have scolded Eric if the roles were reversed.
3. Letting Kelso touch her ass so he could “feel better” when Brooke told him she didn’t want him to be a part of their babies life. And again, she would have SCOLDED Eric if he let another girl touch him to “make her feel better”.

Idk why everyone praises her honestly. Eric deserved better, he was a great person and boyfriend. And Jackie was actually the beautiful one, plus she actually treated people she loved properly. Their reputations are all wrong imo. Jackie has a reputation of being a “superficial bitch”, but I truly believe her superficiality is only on the outside and her “bitchiness” is only her directness. Once you get to know her, she’s loyal, supportive and loving. Donna on the hand, has the reputation of being the “girl next door” but nothing about her is sweet or simple.

What do you think?

Am I the only one who didn’t like Donna dating Kelsi’s brother? Kasey was 21 and Donna was 17. I know people may of thought that was “normal” back then but i thought it was gross.

I just loved all the actors who played them as kids, they all felt so spot on.

I watched reruns on Nick at Nite when I was 12 years old and it made me think being a teen would be all about getting into trouble with your friends and smoking weed with them and getting into hilarious situations. Instead it was mostly just me binging YouTube videos in my room.

I just finished the episode where Eric leaves Donna after she returns his promise ring. I understand where both of them are coming from. Eric wanted something to solidify their relationship beyond high school to say that they’d be together forever. Donna wanted to have their relationship but to be able to achieve her goals. I also think that Eric scared her with the ring. What do you think?

In one of the funniest episodes in the entire show IMO, Eric decides to deface a local store as part of his “year off” from being him. He picks the old muffler shop and hilarity ensues when Kitty doesn’t understand what is so funny about a “muff”. What does Kitty say she owns?

In one of my favorite episodes, we discover that Kelso had to repeat the first grade, leading Hyde to realize he could have been buying beer for the last year. Why did Kelso claim he was held back?

In typical form, Eric misses a chance to knock Laurie down a few pegs when he catches her making out with her former professor and tries to save the knowledge for the very last moment, giving his evil sister a chance to twist the narrative and play victim. Which one of her professors was it?

When Kelso takes Fez to the grocery store to pick up older women, he runs into an older lady that he obviously used to sleep with. What’s her name?
