That '70s Show
From Mag to Web
Bell bottoms and platform shoes. Green refrigerators and gold lamé. Capitalizing on current retro fads, Fox is spoon feeding 21st-century teens large doses of 1970s nostalgia. But its "history lessons" are revised to fit the mores of modern TV. Not even Archie Bunker could survive here. The date is 1976. The subject is usually sex. The primary participants are teenagers Eric, Steve, Michael and Fez. Their story isn't a pretty one. Globules of swearing and foul language swirl in this loathsome lava lamp "tribute." Teen sex is smiled upon, drugs and alcohol are recreational and respect for authority nonexistent. Like pistachio shag carpeting, That '70s Show shouldn't appear in any living room . . . in any decade.
