An admirable end to an exceptional series
***SPOILERS INCLUDED -- DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS*** I've read a lot of negative reviews of the 8th and final season of That 70s Show, and for good reason. Arguably the two best characters in the series leave (Eric and Kelso) and the replacement (Randy) is inconsistent at best. Some of the final plot twists have been widely criticized, especially Fez ending up with Jackie and Hyde marrying a stripper. All of these criticisms have some validity. Certainly the final season was a difficult prospect for the writers and producers of this show. How do you keep a series fresh when you lose the two bastions of the cast? They definitely took some risks regarding plot development, perhaps in an attempt to offset the weakened cast. Some of the risks were questionable, but some of them provided a fresh twist to keep the series intriguing until the very end. I give this season 4 out of 5 stars because for the most part, season 8 works. I still laughed all the way through and there were even some episodes that go on my all-time favorites list (such as the one when Donna loses the "photos" she was sending Eric). I think it's a credit to both the writers of the show and the overall development of the series that even without the two main characters, this season succeeds. How many other series would have stayed this good despite missing the two most popular members of the cast? This is a credit to the overall quality of the show. It was so good that even the second tier of characters became classics, funny and interesting enough to carry the series on their own. On the other hand, some of the new developments in this season were flops, and that is why I can only give it 4 out of 5 stars. The acting by Josh Myers (Randy) was mediocre and sometimes even painfully unfunny. The writers seemed to force him into the circle of friends, so that he suddenly starts talking and acting like he's been there all along. This comes across as arrogant and borderline insulting to those who came before him. His character was too generic during the first half of the season to elicit the expected laughs on inside jokes in the group, yet the writers kept forcing him to spout off awkward one-liners. When he finally developed some personality towards the end of the season, he became more likable and more funny, but even then he never quite meshed the way the other characters did. Some of the final developments in the series seemed forced -- convenient means to a tidy end -- but then, what series doesn't feel that way to some extent as it nears its conclusion? Besides the Randy character, the other big flop was Eric dumping Donna out of nowhere. There was no foundation for this laid whatsoever, and the event seemed completely contrived to allow Donna to start dating Randy. It was a disgraceful way to end the series' most established romance (regardless of what happens in the final episode). The other plot twists for the most part worked for me. Jackie was always fickle. I can see her deciding to date Fez. Hyde marrying a stripper is completely in line with his irresponsible nature, and staying with her matches his lazy nature. Unlike many fans of the series, I applaud these plot twists as refreshing and even endearing. Because despite all its irreverence, even this show wants an ending where its characters are happy and set for the future. Despite some hiccups, season 9 is an admirable end to what will be a classic comedy series for many years.

Really wish I could give this release a negative score
I don't think I've ever been this frustrated about a DVD purchase. Warner Bros takes the cake for WORST quality, sleaziest in-it-for-a-quick-buck DVD manufacturer out there. I have been waiting YEARS for a release of this movie in anamorphic widescreen (where it expands in high quality to fill the screen on a widescreen TV). Finally this new release comes out in 2008, claiming to be anamorphic. And what do you know, when I get the DVD, it's just the SAME CRAPPY 2007 release with a new cardboard slipcover! I just paid $10 for a slipcover! And same as the 2007 release, even though the package claims to be "enhanced for widescreen TVs," it is not. It is yet another repackaged, poor-quality letterboxed version (where the black bars at the top and bottom of the picture are actually burned into the DVD). What a greedy, sleazy company is Warner Bros. It is 2009! Anamorphic picture was standard 10 years ago! And yet they're too cheap to upgrade the quality on a classic film a decade after it ought to have been done to begin with. Instead they'll keep finding ways to re-release this piece of crap so they can keep ripping people off for a quick buck.
