There is one other very funny moment towards the end of the episode when Kitty realizes that Theo (Leo's brother and guest star Richard Karn) is high.Īfter Midge leaves Bob and Donna, Donna ends up kissing Eric. It's also the first episode with Leo this season even though he's been listed as part of the main cast all season. Other than that wonderful (but short) sequence, this episode is pretty run of the mill. Although they clearly weren't able to get the rights to the actual music from the musical/movie, it's a very high-level production sequence that's very enjoyable. I have to give props to the West Side Story dream sequence that happens here. Fez takes ballet class with a beautiful instructor. Kitty decides to re-do the basement, which upsets the kids. The "hands on the van" story is the first real 70s-specific story they've had in awhile but it's only ok and it feels like Bob is getting shoehorned into stories without Midge around. I'm not one to be too hard on shows from different eras not being as "woke" in today's world but the Fat Rhonda stuff had to feel a little cringeworthy even in 2001. We had depression, anger and now we start to get moving on, or at least to an extent. That 70s Show does a nice job of coming up with several different Eric and Donna stories related to the breakup that all feel real and different from each other. Kelso and Bob compete in a hands on a van contest at Donna's radio station. The competing is fun but angry Donna is about as terrible an actress as drunk Donna so that hurts the episode a bit. This is a great example of why the show always tends to be better when the crew is not wrapped up in a bunch of different stories (aside from Red and Kitty, who tend to do well with their own stories). Unlike the last episode where they were in a dumb story that was completely removed, the other four friends get to be very integral to this episode. It seems like every time a sitcom has a major breakup, there has to be an episode about competing for the friends' attention. Kitty is excited about Red becoming friends with Pastor Dave. Cole was on Friends around the same time and plays a similar character.Įric and Donna compete for attention and time from the rest of the friends. We do get a brief guest appearance by Cole and Dylan Sprouse.
Laura Prepon barely appears in this episode, but the other characters (Kelso, Jackie, Hyde and Fez) are stuck in an extremely dumb story that seems pointless and not really even that true to the characters. That part of the episode continues the on-going story well and there are some good moments with Red. Topher Grace does a good job of playing someone who feels helpless about the future. Kelso gets lost from the rest of the gang at Funland.īoy, is Eric pathetic in this episode. Topher Grace is especially strong in this scene and throughout the episode.Įric can't get out of a depression after breaking up with Donna. There's some pretty hilarious moments especially in the flash forward to the scenes in the 1980s but also some real poignant moments and one of my favorite Eric and Donna scenes ever when they meet up at their ten year reunion. This episode is pretty ambitious with its alternate history and time jumping, but it works quite well. I always find alternate timelines interesting on shows and this one sets things back quite a bit to when Eric and Donna first kissed. Season four begins with Tommy Chong added to the main cast (though he doesn't appear in this episode) and Tanya Roberts no longer a regular. Kevin McDonald as Pastor Dave (3 episodes)Īfter breaking up with Donna, Eric dreams about a world where he never kissed Donna in the first place. Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman (27 episodes)Ĭynthia LaMontagne as Rhonda (6 episodes) Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti (27 episodes)ĭebra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman (27 episodes) Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart (27 episodes)Īshton Kutcher as Michael Kelso (27 episodes)ĭanny Masterson as Steven Hyde (27 episodes) Topher Grace as Eric Forman (27 episodes) There's also a really unfortunate 100th episode. But there are also still plenty of standout episodes and some of the laugh out loud funniest moments of the entire series. That 70s Show sometimes had trouble not getting to major moments or turning points in their long arcs and that happens from time to time in season four. The fall-out from Eric and Donna's breakup, Bob's divorce and the on-going drama between Jackie and Kelso really drive stories from the very beginning of the season to the very end. Season 4 of That 70s Show has a couple story arcs that last the entire season.
