Fox kicks off eighth season of 'That 70s Show' in November

MUMBAI: Fox kicks off the eighth season of period sitcom That 70s Show in November. In India, the show airs on Star World.
 
 

For the uninitiated, the show explains what it was like for a group of 17 year olds living in 1976. Eric Forman is a typical high school student growing up in Wisconsin in 1976 with his family and his friends. Together, they have the same kind of joys and sorrows that just about every teenager has while growing up. This show parodies many of the attitudes, events and fads of the 70's, along with those who grew up at the time and are now in their 30's-40's.
 
 

The eighth season picks up with Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith) discovering their empty nest isn't very empty, even with Eric in Africa. Meanwhile, Hyde (Danny Masterson) returns from Las Vegas, where he went to clear his mind after catching Jackie (Mila Kunis) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) in a compromising position. But when Kelso and Donna (Laura Prepon) tell Jackie that Hyde planned on proposing to her, Jackie tries to win him back, only to discover that what happens in Vegas, doesn't necessarily stay in Vegas.

Things go from bad to worse for Hyde, who discovers that while he was away, Leo (Tommy Chong) nearly put the record store out of business. But Hyde's plan to fire Leo goes up in smoke when he ends up keeping Leo and hiring a new guy, Randy (new cast member Josh Meyers). Meanwhile, in an effort to get over Hyde, Jackie drags Donna and Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) out for a night on the town, but ends up getting humiliated when she reveals a little too much.
