The eighth and final season of the American comedy television series
That '70s Show premiered November 2, 2005 on Fox in the United States.
The season ended on May 18, 2006 with an hour-long series finale. The
eighth season was the only season without the show's star Topher Grace
who portrayed Eric Forman, the central character, since he left the
series at the end of the previous season. Eric was often mentioned
throughout the season, even being an important off-stage character
central to an episode's plot upon occasion. Topher Grace returned as
Eric for the final episode, although his role was brief and
uncredited.This season also marked a major change in the series, as a
new character was introduced to take Eric's place named Randy Pearson
(portrayed by new cast member Josh Meyers) and the departure of
Michael Kelso, who was portrayed by Ashton Kutcher. Kutcher had quit
the show at the end of season seven but remained on the series for
five episodes during the eighth season. He appeared in the first four
episodes to give closure to Kelso and he appeared again in the final
episode titled "That '70s Finale". Another big change to the show was
the opening sequence that plays over the theme song; instead of the
characters driving down a street in a car, they take turns singing
lyrics of the theme song in "the circle", a camera angle used when the
group sits in a circle and get intoxicated. Also, Leo (Tommy Chong)
returned as a main character since his return to the series in the
seventh season (in a special guest role).Many plots of the season
involved Donna's new relationship with Randy, Jackie falling in love
with Fez, Hyde marrying a stripper named Samantha, Kelso getting a new
job and moving to Chicago, and the Formans adjusting to an empty nest
which is too empty for Kitty and not empty enough for Red due to the
kids' presence despite Eric's absence.This season is set entirely in
1979, with the final seconds of the series being the final seconds of
the decade. The last seconds of the series show the license plate of
Eric's Vista Cruiser for the final time, now featuring a tag with the
year "80" on it, signaling that the 1980s have begun. That '70s Show (season 8) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
