As an interesting point of trivia, is that Fez’ name stands for “foreign exchange student”, which means that his character was just never named. Could we also make that same deduction of the title of this series then? Perhaps, though aside from copious Star Wars and Korean War references, the only reason the show seems to be set in the past is to justify their pot smoking circle scenes (genius camera angles), the segues that most certainly inspired Gap commercials, and the ridiculously good fashion of the cast.

Season six shows the gang going through the dramas of growing up, humping, getting married and starting their own (accidental) families. Should they leave the nest and their friends and go to college or stay secure and take jobs at home and perpetually live with their parents and their friends’ (alcoholic) parents?

Guest stars are plentiful, with Brook Shields becoming a permanent fixture as Jackie’s mom/Bob’s girlfriend, Shannon Elizabeth as the “librarian Barbie” that Kelso knocked up in the bathroom of a rock concert, Rachel Bilson as a rich girl that Fes tries to pick up at a wedding, and Seth Green as Mitch, Eric’s nemesis (his Newman, if you will).

The writing is sharp, the actors are easy on the eyes, and it seems that Casey/Werner have managed to pull off another sitcom triumph. It’s too bad that the official website is not a little more detailed: http://www.that70sshow.com/index_about.htm.
