Kitty always makes sure to be open about her emotions and show everyone how much she loves them because her mother never did either for her when she was growing up, so when she finally sees her mother show real grief, you can see how much it breaks her inside.

She never really got the development or backstory that the other characters did, but her dysfunctional relationship with Kitty always hit me pretty hard. There are moments when you can see how badly she wants her mother's love and approval, and how much it hurts her to not have it.

I also like the follow up when red gave him his two cent. It was harsh but true

[@laurie_guilbeau]

Good relationship dilemma. I was on Red and Kitty's side! Not only was Eric being proud, but he was oversimplifying the situation. Casey was Donna's rebound. And Eric had broken up with Donna.

[@lordhawkeye]

Saying Eric broke up with Donna in itself is an oversimplifying their situation. He thought they were meant to be together. He thought they would get married, have kids and do all the things that couples do until death. He said as much when he offered Donna the promise ring. She did not. So what is the logical course of action here? Put yourself in Eric's shoes in that moment. Say what you want but Donna gave their relationship a killing blow when she turned down his ring like that. At that point Eric ending the relationship was like a doctor giving the time of death.

[@christianbeck7901]

Eric and Donna's breakup was sad, but at least Eric tried to plan for the future. Donna never tried to incorporate Eric in any of her plans and often saw him as an obstacle to her goals. While Eric did get worse as a character over time, Donna was the one who never wanted to work with Eric about the future

[@eternalelipsis]

That scene will forever kill me

[@Corvy952]

Will never forgive the show for how they treated Eric the follow up season after their breakup

[@thomasj.9686]

With that season 03 finale, I agree. Donna too easily closed off Eric from her lofty ambitions. For the rest of the series though? Not really. Donna became more actively involved about their future when they got back together and got engaged. She actually stayed behind for Eric. Hell, she never even left Point Place.

[@Luke_wait_for_it_marengo]

Absolute facts, I remember seeing those episode n the actual truth about how she really felt for him. It was actually heartbreaking coz he's under the assumption (understandably so) they they would still be together possibly even married in the future. Where as her, the mear thought of leaving town going off to college she immediately thought I don't want him anymore I'll find better, or at least different. Was quite hard to watch.

[@danielgonzales1227]

Eric was a emotional dependant of Donna, they were 17 and planning their future. Donna was always right

[@thomasj.9686]

Nah, fam. Jackie had the most character growth in the series. She started as a spoiled, shallow princess from season 1, to learning the value of friendships, family, work, self-love, ambition, and finding what she needed in a relationship. She was still sassy and narcissistic, but she grew so much more than the rest.

[@Harley-and-Her-Ruff-Riders]

@@thomasj.9686 I almost understand the Jackie hate, because I started off the show disliking her without knowing why. But I was also 16 and couldn't put it into words. Now at 31, I know it's because for the first few seasons, Mila being 3 years younger than any cast member was noticeable and made her feel like an annoying little sister. But man, her character growth! I mean, she went through a similar story as Hyde: one family member went to jail, the other abandoned her. She went from prim and proper, bankrolled by her rich father until she was sharing a room with Donna. Plus, just every relationship showed her changing: she went from caring more about how her boyfriend affected her status, to caring only how he cared for her. I truly believe the best way to see if a character's change is visible is to show a newbie the show. Show someone Jackie in season 1 and then the last season. They might not understand her change, but if they went from seeing her disgusted by "the foreign kid" to understanding he truly loves her, they'd know one happened.

^ The cheating came-at least as Kelso implies-as the result of prolonged emotional abuse, which may not have ever been extreme in any one instance, but over time became insufferable for him. Jackie “cheated” out of envy and spite when Kelso got work doing a job she always wanted and paid her less attention because of it. Kelso was a dumb, childish horn dog, but Jackie was a condescending, egotistical, manipulator.

[@mikecabral2420]

Another one that comes to mind is after Red's heart attack, when the doctor is doing an at home consultation to find the source of the stress that may have led to it, he blames Eric because of tension between him and Red and his constant snark and sarcasm. Red's then chews the doctor out for daring to blame his son and demands he leaves.

Sometimes, less is more in these situations because often, life is about not letting the less(es) add up to a lot.

I really love this show and how the show tackles these things.

[@kris242]

That 70s show was especially wonderful for its expert handling of comic-relief. Red gets a heart-attack. Kelso: “Oh! Open your eyes, he’s having an arm-attack!” 🤣 It got serious without ever getting depressing ❤️

[@chonwai]

Red being proud of Eric for deciding to leave even without their support was very real and encapsulated the grown of the character perfectly, they show how red do what he does because he cares for his son and kitty expletives tirade was just the cherry on top

[@Michael.Sandoval33]

Red and Kitty loved those kids. They are annoyed by them sometimes but they really did.

[@cheriremily9360]

Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s as a teen, this show hit home most of the time. If felt real in some ways. Too much drinking, parents partying and kids sneaking alcohol, etc. It made me nostalgic for that time, even though I wouldn't go back if I was paid...lol. Carsey/Werner hit on something and found the magic.

[@rockydarknight2980]

When this show left Netflix , the office was only reason to have netflix. N now both are gone. So sad.

8:55 I was *NOT* prepared to see Betty White crying today.

[@rochellemarshall1801]

Steven Hyde reminds me of Shawn Hunter. Both have an absent fathers

[@Gumbier_Than]

And have veto fathers who would go to hell and back for them from their friends. Still think about Alan (Cory's dad) and the cult guy. 😁✌🏾

[@dylanhighter1680]

I think jackie and hyde where better than Kelso or fez

[@ethelcipollone6518]

Agreed

[@jonahfrimodt4245]

If you look deeper, past the melodrama and 70s aesthetic, the main recurring theme of this show is the relationship between parents and older children. The dynamic between Eric and Red is the most important one, and the heartbeat of the series.

[@Tizzo1982]

This show did a great job at balancing really great comedy, and.its emotional serious moments

[@khaelprime7158]

What about the time Hyde's father left and Eric kept asking where he is and Hyde said I can't tell you because he won't tell me

[@darkherostar]

suddenly seeing Betty White brings up all the old classic moment's. Have a good go you Golden Gal!!

[@Bigbear0104]

i miss one moment. When Eric is leaving to work in africa. The conversation between Eric and Red. Red says he miss him and he loves him and of course the hug.

[@tankdogization]

The Hyde and Red scenes were the deepest parts of the show. This video missed the episode where it was Hyde’s birthday.

[@Colgan1]

Man. Why can I not find the show anywhere anymore. It was such a brilliant show, I watched it was it was first out, watched it as a stoner, watched it as an adult. The show has always hit differently, brilliant show and one of the best American shows ever

[@pinkfreud62]

I think so, too. I was a teen in the 70's so I could relate. Miss those days and my old friends.

[@calebducommun7589]

When will mojo realize these clips are great with little talk. You don’t have to explain every second of what’s happening we are literally watching it

[@taytmw18]

@@taytmw18 b.s. many KZbinrs make these videos with minimal talking. You don’t need to make a 15 minutes video where 14 minutes of it is talking

[@ilovemydog6847]

I used to watch That 70s Show and I always wished my dad was more like Red.

[@dustinjenney9736]

Red is the father we all wish we had.

[@spartacus1610]

Everyone in this show was simply amazing, their joy and their pain were real just as if we were there right next to them experiencing it with them. This show will always be my favorite and the best show in my opinion. I laugh with every episode and enjoy it no matter how many times I watch it.

[@megah8nyouzero]

Red being a surrogate father always gets me. I had a similar relationship with a really outstanding father figure and it hits hard when I see scenes like this. Just like Uncle Phil and Will.

[@onedudecommenting2977]

They have the most consistent uploads

[@thomasj.9686]

When I saw no. 2, I kept scratching my head wondering what no. 1 is. Thanks for this list, Ms Mojo. I love this show to death.

[@travis_mitchell]

Weirdly, the strongest part of the new series, was the relationship set up between Red and Sherri from next door. The episode about her seeing her father in him, and him ultimately doing what her father didn’t do for her, was actually well done, and I’m hoping is made a bigger part of the series moving forward. The idea that Red has a chance to right his wrongs with Laurie, through Sherri, and finally have a daughter he’s proud of, could be great.

[@derekdick7678]

I love this show Eric was the best & Donna was beautiful (redhead)

[@emilybilyj2221]

It’s a shame that she decided to leave her hair blonde. Donna had beautiful red hair and she looked better with red than the blonde

[@twelvemeister]

they all bought into it so much that it became more than just a sit com . there s so much real emotion involved . the 70s backdrop just seems to enhance it somehow .. that convergance of everything coming togethor to make something truly special

[@LloydxMcfly]

my favorite show of all time. a true gem🙌🏽

[@joewhitehead3]

I could definitely relate to Eric in number 6, when he’s ranting & yelling about having to go

[@nicholasvanzomeren7609]

MsMojo, i'm still waiting for that Top 20 That '70s Show Characters video

[@brandondiaz1967]

Can relate so hard to Hyde being adopted. My 2nd brother was adopted by my parents after his bio parents abandoned him

[@CrimsonRayne]

Another moment is when angel gives Eric a chance to erase all his memories. Probably death. But he decides to keep then even after all the good times.

[@qualityherbsonly]

Red is one of my favorite characters in any show. Mean and bitter on the outside. But truly a loving and devoted father and husband on the inside.

[@arthas640]

8:30 this is the sort of behavior that makes me love Red. He's an asshole, but he's an asshole who still has a heart and loves the kids even if he doesnt get touchy feely or articulate his feelings. He's not the dad anyone _wants_ but he's often the dad they _need_

[@ashwilliams3791]

The last scene as well (#1). He understood that the world is a tough place and his biggest priority was to prepare Eric for it.

[@fordprefect4728]

Glad to see grandma's dead ep. on the list, its easily 1 of my fav's of the show. I always laugh when eric says "so this is what beer tastes like" and red just rolls his eyes.
