Eric Forman on ‘That 70s Show’

He’s the buddy with attitude, style and cool look! I was crazy to watch Topher Grace portraying Eric Forman on ‘That 70s Show’ and I still am. As we all know, ‘That 70s Show was based on the adolescence of Mark Brazill, the show creator.

It was very sweet to watch most of the events taking place at Formans’ house, especially the basement. Among the several characters of the show, I liked, loved, admired and appreciated Eric Forman only. He was a nice guy with a very kind heart and his other characteristics were- geeky, weak and somewhat clumsy. He attracted thousands of people as a smart aleck teenager with a deadpan sense of humor.

Ohh… sweet Eric loves Donna, a girl who’s physically stronger than him. And, it was enough for all his mates to make fun of him and we saw him reluctantly facing those ridiculous situations. But, but, but…. it didn’t mean that he was coward, we saw him showing physical prowess when necessary.

Eric was the best friend of rebel Steven Hyde and he disliked Jackie out of the gang. ‘That 70s Show’ also showed him akin to a sci-fi fan, such as ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars’ etc. And, this hard working buddy was seen adopting several typical teenage jobs throughout the series. We saw him working at the Fictional Fatso Burger Price Mart, as a waiter at the Holiday Hotel, and at a dog food factory.

He always intended to prove his maturity and independence to his parents Red and Kitty. His father, a well known authoritarian often referred him as ‘dumbass’ and ‘boy. His mother over and over again supported him against his father. The lady used to scold Red for being too hard on Eric….. A typical mama-son story and every mama’s love!

Eric Forman was the character which made me to watch ‘That 70s show‘ again and again and trust me, it never happened that I missed any of the show episodes. ‘That 70s Show’ ran on Fox Network for eight successive seasons.

70s show is coming back

Make a space for the 70s in your evenings ladies, that’s 70s show is back in our living rooms. It arrived on The N on 30th of June and it will also be on ABC family on July 7. Finally it’s back after two complete years. Its finale was on May 2006, I remember. Though in the final season change of characters was drastic and it took time to become familiar with the new faces. Besides this two of the actors said bye to the show due to their film career and it interrupted the flow of the season.

Anyways I liked this show because of its vast scope. It included deep observation of the seventies. It highlighted every issue of the seventies. In fact it presented in such a way that it compells the person to thin over the present scenario of the same issues. It covered the wide range of fields in its episodes. Say it like politics, cultural trends of seventies, feminism, mistrust in government, drug use by teenagers and what not? That is why it kept me bound with the show and I always tried hard to not miss a single episode, although it happened for several times. But now I am happy that its back.

I told about this to my cousin, we had watched the show together for many times and we were both missing this show. Many a times the show pampered us to indulge into debates over the issues shown in the show. But eventually, we always got one result that seventies were better than today. I and my cousin download the old episodes from this site almost on every weekend and during vacations. It is the big pleasant surprise for both of us that the show is coming back on screen. We didn’t have idea that it will ever come back. Now we can enjoy it again in a new form.

where the long running series ended…

When That 70s show begun, it was not groundbreaking and was just fine. And with the episode, ‘That 70s Finale’, this awesome series come to an end. A fine series to an awesome series, it was not an easy journey and the show went through 8 seasons to finally get it. This finale night consists of two episodes - the first episode ‘Love of My Life’, is funnier of the two and it featured Justin Long as Fez’s good friend. Justin helps the gang to figure out Fez’s mysterious country of origin. Hyde does the impossible when he decided to quit the smoking. Red and Kitty are planning to sell their home. You can watch the finale here.

Well, the actual finale was titled as ‘That 70s Finale’ and takes place on New Year’s Eve 1979. Kitty is having serious mistrusts about her decision to move towards Florida along with Red. Fez and Jackie discover that it’s not easy for them to transfer their friendship into romance. Kitty tells Hyde that she doesn’t want to move but it’s hard for her to tell Red. Jackie and Fez attempts for their first Kiss as a couple. Fez who wants to make this kiss a special one discusses it with Hyde. Kelso returns for a New Year’s visit and Donna is more fascinated when she learns Eric’s coming home. Midnight is coming and the whole group is enjoying the party.

So, the season finale was Okay and attempts to look back at the past are a mixed bag but is appreciated. The finale tried to wrap up the things very quickly and didn’t answer the raised questions and even left some questions unsolved. I must say that with this season finale, it was good to see Foreman family and friends for one last time. Wholly, the episode was a good end to series.

Episode ended, season ended and finally a long running series also ended but still fans love That 70s show and I’m continuously watching all That 70s episodes online and yea for me, series is still airing in 21^st century.
