That 70s Show - Eric Earns Red's Blessing

[@Netherwolf6100]

lol if the series ended with this, Eric and Donna getting married, going off to college together and buying an actual house upon graduation, would have been the best ending ever.

[@Biiiiitnfish]

But that 9 times out of 10 never happens. More realistic for the friend group to slowly fall apart.

The 90s show

[@The_Marine708]

Honestly Red is a great dad. He had to step back and realize this was a pivetol moment for Eric and Donna, and that Eric had grown self confidence and a spine. I think Reds terms are fair for College, and it shows that he does care for and love his son.

[@VersusARCH]

That should have been the end of the series.

[@davidmoncholi6746]

That would have been great

[@cristiansaucedo4707]

Maybe the 80s show could have started with Eric and Donna married and in college.

[@kylecyrus9457]

If this scene had never happened, they would've gotten married out of spite, but Red's blessing just took the fun out of it.

[@scottfarquhar6985]

Yep…

[@SashGirl34]

Maybe deep down Red knew Eric and Donna were going to marry no matter what.....and like Kitty didn't want to lose his son. I mean despite the way he acts and shows Eric is the unfavorite child....he shown to genuinely love his son. Even admitting it once Eric leaves for Africa...with Kitty having to trick him into saying it. It was sweet. "Of course I miss him. He's my son."

[@cosmokramer179]

3:31 Eric’s whole life flashed before his eyes, Red look confused, and kitty looked like she was about to have a heart attack 😭

[@jonathanlarsson4608]

A lot of things probably would have been for the better if the series had ended after this season. While the actual ending taking place at new years eve 1979 is poetically appropriate, the rest of the seasons really struggled to keep going. If they had written out Red's heart attack, a lot of great things might've been kept, left on a high note or at least left ambigiously open.

[@1x4]

I hate when tv shows don't know when to stop their series from going further. At their peaks you need to wrap it up with a pretty bow and say 'the end'. Even if people complain for more, because very few things are worse for a show than when said show spirals down into the garbage.

Thats mommas for ya, its uber hard for them to let go. XD

[@SashGirl34]

Eric was the favorite child...she had trouble with her son growing up. Such as when she learned he was having sex. She was depressed in bed. She felt better when Eric said that he would always need her because of Red. Kitty believed in a sense that she was losing her son since Donna would be taking care of him. There's also the fact that Eric was so young....so Kitty may not felt he was ready. Red approving of it made Kitty even more upset...I mean when Donna and Eric were looking for places that had a washer and dryer.. Eric was saying stuff that made the implication he wasn't going to visit or come home. ' Think about how Kitty was feeling when he said this...any mother would be upset. It's more she wants her son to come home...and he's basically saying he wouldn't. And she took this out on Red due to the blessing her gave them...it's hard to let go that's what I think the problem was for Kitty. Since Laurie was the town slut and the unfavorite child for Kitty. She didn't really care at al about her because she knw the truth about her daughter. Even called her out on it. So Eric was more the 'good child' that could do nothing wrong in Kitty's mind maybe. And being her youngest child didn't help either since it was her 'baby boy'...

[@K1ng1995]

@@SashGirl34 plus in that episode where she finds out Eric and Donna were having sex, Eric tells her that Red is being meaner than normal and she replied with "You really rub him the wrong way" so maybe she yelled at Red for being so hard on Eric essentially pushing him away, and for Laurie being the way she was because she was Red's favorite.

Yeah because they missed their chance. If they had left for college at the end of season 5 it would've been way different, they would've both had jobs, a nice place to live, their future. But Hyde and Kelso had to ruin things. If Kelso and Hyde hadn't have been fighting, then Fez wouldn't have been arrested and by the time the gang found out he was being deported it would've been to late.
