Critic Reviews
Feb 21, 2013
Season 1 Review:
A right-on time capsule of a decade, a warm coming-of-age comedy and the funniest new sitcom on any network this fall. [23 Aug 1998, p.D6]

Season 1 Review:
Yet the sitcom from the 3rd Rock From the Sun creators also has imaginative sequences, clever plays on words and wonderful young actors who look their parts. This is one of the most promising new series this fall. [23 Aug 1998, p.F1]

Season 1 Review:
From snips of the Captain & Tennille to reminders on the versatility of Vienna sausages, That '70s Show is unbelievably believable. [21 Aug 1998, p.38]
Feb 21, 2013
Season 1 Review:
The writing and comic sensibility are fresh and unpredictable. [23 Aug 1998, p.1L]

Season 1 Review:
Charm is not a word you normally associate with the Day-Glo, drug-drenched
'70s. Yet charm is the strong suit of That '70s Show. [21 Aug 1998, p.6E]

Season 1 Review:
Smart. [23 Aug 1998, p.D10]

Season 1 Review:
This idea waiting to happen finds an imperfect but winning execution -- appropriately trippy, yet gentle enough to give it a nostalgic glow. [21 Aug 1998, p.T1]
Feb 21, 2013
Season 1 Review:
The writing is sharp enough to create nearly as many solid laughs as there are producers. [21 Aug 1998]
Feb 21, 2013
Season 1 Review:
It's different, daring, and in many ways delightful. [21 Aug 1998, p.115]
Feb 21, 2013
Season 1 Review:
The Fox series' formula is pretty stock teen material, with immature guys and unsuspecting parents and ditsy girls, but it's got a few inventively surrealistic scenes and a breezy tone that make it worth watching. [22 Aug 1998, p.C4]

Season 1 Review:
That '70s Show does have its amusing moments -- without marijuana. And it does have nostalgia on its side. [23 Aug 1998, p.3]

Season 1 Review:
The Eric character and his sort-of girlfriend, Donna (Laura Prepon), do provide a few sparks of interest in this ensemble of dumbed-down teens, but it's not enough for me...Fox calls the series "retro hip." I think it's retro dull. It probably seems a lot funnier if you are 16 and smoking pot. [22 Aug 1998, p.1E]

Season 1 Review:
[They] don't begin to capture the period beyond its thin patina, and even worse, they are simply not funny...Some arresting visual techniques here, but the writing is heavy-handed, the humor broad and labored, and some of the acting way over the top. [22 Aug 1998, p.F1]
