That 70s Show Season 8: DVD Review (2008)

The final season, the weakest season.

We’re back in Wisconsin and the kids, now young adults (Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderamma, Mila Kunis, Danny Masterson), are more restless than ever.

So restless, in fact, that they struggle to compensate for the loss of Topher Grace’s Eric and Ashton Kutcher’s Kelso (each actor left to pursue film careers at the end of the seventh season, though they do appear fleetingly at the end of this season).

The highlights--or the lowlights, depending on whether you're a fan of the series and the era--include Hyde and Jackie splitting, Jackie and Fez coming together, and a guest appearance by Bruce Willis that’s memorable for a whole host of twisted reasons.

In the end--and it was time for this series to end--“That '70s Show" always was a crude, simple parody of an era, but one that for much of its run was more entertaining than some might expect.

Too bad that isn’t the case here.
