Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 The show was pretty much dead about 2-3 seasons ago but the finale closed it up, though predictably on a good enough note. I have to say, this show lasted longer then many people probably predicted (8 seasons). It also moved around more then any show I can remember. I believe, with the exception of saturdays, 70's show aired on every night and at different time slots. Sometimes even moving multiple times per season.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 It was a really good finale. The montage of Red saying foot up your ass was hilarious. Much better then Will and Grace, which was horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 I'm not going to repeat what you guys have already said, but I think this was generally a really good show that let the characters have some growth but stay the same for the most part. It probably could have ended after season 5 or 6, but even when it wasn't great it was better than anything Fox could have replaced it with. It's one of the few modern comedies I can still watch and laugh at when the repeats are on which is something that likely wouldn't have happened if it had been on one of the major networks simply because it probably would have been cancelled after season 1 or 2 due to the ratings.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 19, 2006 This show was completely played out, and even worse now that it's been in syndication. The jokes are entirely too predictable, and well, it was okay. One of those time-wasters if there was nothing else on TV, but rarely anything from the show I'd remember. Scrubs is infinitely better when you're talking about modern comedies.

Guest Arnold_OldSchool Report post Posted May 19, 2006 HOLY CRAP! Trivia from IMDB: Chuck Norris was the initial choice for Red Foreman, but was still filming Walker, Texas Ranger, so Kurtwood Smith was cast instead. I can't see Chuck doing the role. The character would'nt have suited him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also hated that Randy dude, so I'm glad they brought Eric back and put him together with Donna again. It would've been stupid not to do it. Incidentally, Eric is the only one from the gang that didn't get any with Jackie when it was all said and done. Is she a slut or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 They sent the show out just the right way. The final circle was great, complete with a call back to the first circle with Hyde's water powered car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 I thought the finale was well done, however what they could have done is taken an extra five minutes with the theme playing and have everyone in the circle with a little graphic telling what happened to them after the finale, thus giving the entire thing closure.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 I like it better that it was left open ended. There was some closure, but they didn't wrap everything up, which is how a finale should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 Agreed; I'd rather have the freedom to believe that characters A & B either got together/back together or not, rather than have it determined for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
