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.
