That '70s Show: Season 1

The long awaited release of the 70's Show on DVD (the 1st Season) has finally arrived. In recent years the sitcoms have been empty and shallow punching for laughs in a manner that lacks class or wit. This show is the exception. In fact this was the only show I found so engaging that it was hard to miss an episode, and then even the reruns. No matter how many times I see this show and even episodes I have already previously seen, the show remains fresh and incredibly funny. I find myself laughing out loud incessantly every episode sometimes to the point of tears and belly aches. This show is a true gem with intelligent writing, interesting characters played by very talented young actors (several of who have already displayed a wide range and high competence as actors in major motion pictures) and older ones as well such as Kurtwood Smith who is a riot as Red, Eric Forman's Dad. Most important the show has heart and soul. This show manages to touch who ever may be watching and take you to a fun and enjoyable place. For whoever grew up in the Seventies this flashback really takes you back and reminds you of the innocence and freedom that characterized the era (i.e. getting high and casual sex). For the younger generations it is just as accessible providing a template for new experiences and open mindedness in a playful and fun way. I am so glad this is finally being released on DVD and I eagerly await the other seasons as well. There are few shows as worthy as this one that merit being watched and enjoyed again and again. This trip was definitely worth it!

That 70's Show came out screaming at a point in my life when I needed it most. Eric Foreman and Donna Pinciotti, were my boyfriend, Terry and myself hanging out in the basement of his mom & dad's house with a variety of friends with personalities much like Michael Kelso, Steven Hyde, Jackie Berkhart, and Eric's naughty sister Laurie...Fez, however, did not exist but the rest of the first season was dead bang and more like a memory than a sit-com. In 1976, as the stage is set in season 1, I was 14 years old and seeing all the life-learning wacky, goofy experiences the characters live out is extremely humerous and more like a trip down memory lane. Like Hyde, there was always somebody around with " a whole big bag of love ". Without much more than Packman, pinball or foosball for entertainment, we had to change the channel on the tv by hand, too. The soundtrack of songs are true to the era, as well. I remember the drive-in theater, and my daughter, who is 20, only knows what a drive-in is from watching tv. These are just a few examples but now that it's the end of 2005 and as the characters grow and change, NOW I find myself relating more to Red & Kitty ( Eric's parents ) and/or Bob & Midge ( Donna's parents )!!! All I know is it's awsome to go back in time and experience the nostalgia and adolescent situations that bring back a time for me when things were so much simpler, the grass was greener and the sky so much more blue. With no disrespect intended for the rest of the season, which is so unexpected and fresh, I never fail to laugh no matter how many times I watch Season 1, disc 1, episodes 1 & 2, which are in my oppinion the VERY BEST of That 70's Show and the heart of what it was really like to grow up in the '70's! :)

This is a wonderful deal for a That 70's Show junkie! I really love the way they have made up this box set. This set has all 25 epesodes and a few bonus features, which makes it a good deal. It nice to have all of the memorable episodes that made me fall in love with this show, now at my fingertips. If you began to watch the show in its later shows, this is also a nice way to "catch up" with where it all began. With "That 70s pilot", "Drive In", "The Best Christmas Ever", "That Wrestling Show", "First Date", "Water Tower", "Grandma's Dead" as shows in this set, this is a MUST have.

Very good purchase! Wanted to buy because it was taken off netflix. The quality of the set is great and the cds were in perfect condition. Got here on time, great seller!

The first season of "That 70s Show" is laugh-out-loud, hysterically funny! (I'm still laughing as I write this!) I would be about 3 years older than the teens depicted in the show (I graduated high school in 1974), and, man, they've nailed the 70s' hair and clothes. The writing of the show is clever, the humor of the show is applicable to any generation, and the "look" of the show is unique and creative. But the show's strongest point is its wonderful ensemble cast -- I can't single out any individual cast member because they're ALL really, really talented. I'm not much of a TV watcher, so I'm sorry I missed "That 70s Show" in its first run...what a bummer. But I am anxiously awaiting the release of the remaining seasons.

Seriously...It could have been written about myself and my group of friends. We were high schoolers in the same timeframe with the same group of personalities and somehow managed to survive to same ups and downs, trials and tribulations and joys, failures and triumphs, faced the same issues...very accurately portrayed. As an added bonus, Red Forman reminds me in many ways of my own dad, who sadly passed away in 1995, so I would have to say Red is my favorite of all the well-written characters on this gem. I was a fan of this show from the first time it aired on network television and was a faithful viewer through every season.

The first season was not the best (which was probably season 4), but with the increasingly disappointing season seven that is airing now, the first season is a welcome return to the roots. The funniest episode is probably "A New Hope"-which spoofs Star Wars- and the best episode plot-wise would have to be "Prom Night." I do agree that the extras were pretty lame, and I wish they would have done commentaries for at least the first episode, but the DVDs are still easily enjoyed. The first season also leads right in to the second season (Bob and Midge's marital problems in the season finale, Kelso's little crush on Lori, and Donna and Eric trying to decide to have sex yet or not). Season two will be coming out soon, which should have even more laughs than this season.

I must say that That 70's show is easily the best show I've ever seen. I've seen some other good shows out there: Raymond, Friends, etc., but That 70's Show is the only show that I could watch 50 times everyday without getting tired of it. Literally, I think this show should be on more often, but I'm glad that it is finally coming out on DVD. I've been waiting since it first came out, and I'm sure that I won't be the only pleased person.

Thats 70's Show was definately the greatest in the first season! Most of the episodes I had never seen, and they were all quite good. Super funny, recomend it to anyone!

Excelente serie americana la recomiendo , llegó rápido.

dvd en très bon état, en anglais comme je le souhaitais, y a rien a reprocher.

青春を忘れつつある大人にはもう一度純粋な気持ちを思い出させてくれる一品だと思いますね。内容はコメディーなんですが、日本のコメディーにはない独特の味があります。スタッフも一流ですし、出演者もこの番組を機にスターになっているそうです。７０年代の高校生を描いているのですが、時代や国が違っても考えていることもやってることは違いがないんだなあと思うと思います。国や時代の壁を乗り越えたおもしろさがここにはあります。だから、一度見たらすぐハマると思います！ただのコメディーではなく、世界観を大きく変えてくれるものだとおもいます！

Un classique! À voir!
