Eric Forman is a typical high school student growing up in Wisconsin in
1976 with his family and his friends. Together, they have the same kind of
joys and sorrows that just about every teenager has while growing up. This
show parodied many of the attitudes, events and fads of the 70's, along
with those who grew up at the time and are now in their 30's-40's.
Back in the days of Led Zeppelin 8-tracks, TaB colas, and Farrah Fawcett
posters, "That '70s Show" continues to flashback to the times where bell
bottoms were the hip thing. Set in the Wisconsin suburbs, Eric Forman lives
under the authority of his parents, Red and Kitty. Next door is his
girlfriend/neighbor, Donna Pinciotti and her parents Bob and Midge. The
rest of the gang includes Jackie, and her on again-off again boyfriend,
Kelso, Hyde, a conspiracy theorist who believes Xerox will take over the
world, and Fez, a foreign exchange student who is soaking up American
culture like a sponge. The gang mostly likes to spend their time in Eric's
basement, pondering their lives, parents, and their futures, but they get
into many funny mishaps and adventures in their teenage lives.

lives.
Set in the mid-late 1970s, when Nixon was president, Pink Floyd and Led
Zepplin were big, Pong was America's #1 video game, shaggy orange and green
carpets, and sodas and cars were cheap, "That '70s Show" follows the daily
lives of 6 teenagers led by Eric Foreman, while living in the fictional
suburb of Point Place, Wisconsin. The 6 have been friends since grade
school, with the exception of Fez, who is from an unknown country. From the
luxury and comfort of the Foreman basement and Fatso Burger, two of the
gangs local hangouts to the speed of Eric's Vista Cruiser, the gang shares
many misadventures alongside their families while growing up and trying to
survive Midwestern suburbia in the decade that brought America to its
knees.
