That 70's Show needs to stop it

Its a hard thing to admit when a good thing has run its course and its time to move on. Like a first love, or leaving home, its hard to do. But we reach down deep, discover who we are, and find the courage to move on.

And that is exactly what the people behind "That 70's Show" should have done before last night. Even though major cast members are leaving and the show itself is progressing plot-time-wise out of the 70's, they have decided to trot this horse out for one more pitful run around the track.

I stopped watching last night's episode about 15 mins into it. My poor wife watched the entire hour. It was painful.

If you really want to see this show, go to the DVD sets and watch it in its prime. Those days are long behind it now.

Oh my...is that show still on??
I left the US almost 4 years ago and yeah it was great in the beginning...but everything gets boring with time.

Exactly. There should be a law that a TV show can not go on for more than 3 years. That way a show with a short shelf life (like that 70's show) won't have a chance to wither on the vine.

That is a very good review and I think I agree. I didn't watch the show but last season wasn't their best. Great blog and love the reviews.

Thanks, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels this way. ;)

I feel the same way...when I saw a bit of the premiere it all seemed so forced it really seems like they are just going through the motions.
