That '70s Show

Eric Gets Suspended - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Donna, Kelso, Eric, and Hyde are in The Hub after Eric Gets Suspended, Donna gets mad at the guys and leaves. But two shots later when Hyde is seen smiling and sipping his soda, you can see Donna's hair on the left side of the shot as if she was still sitting where she was before. (00:03:00)

Halloween - S2-E5

Character mistake: At the burnt out school when they fight between themselves, Jackie says "Donna kissed Hyde last year" referring to the episode 'Ski Trip' in season 1 which was in the same year according to the licence plate - '77.

Moon Over Point Place (1) - S2-E26

Factual error: In one scene towards the end of the episode, Hyde is reading MAD Magazine in the Hub when Jackie interrupts him. He says he is in the middle of reading "Smokey and the Band-Aid," MAD's parody of "Smokey and the Bandit." However, the issue he has is June 1976, and the film was not released until May 1977.

Kiss of Death - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Jackie leaves the basement and Lorie comes down she's wearing green pants, but as soon as she walks away they're blue jeans. The shirt, jacket are the same, but it's the pants that change.

Garage Sale - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At the movies, Fez is daydreaming. Jackie's hand comes into frame as she's about to reach into his popcorn bucket. The shot cuts and her hands are at her side. She subsequently repeats the action.

Trivia: The show was originally titled "Teenage Wasteland" or "The Kids Are Alright" but those were songs by The Who and, legally, Fox couldn't get permission to use them. They renamed the show "Feelin' Alright" to show the focus groups. However, nobody really liked the name. After the focus groups airing, the audience were heard saying they really liked that show about the 70's or that 70's show - and the name stuck.

Chosen answer: He isn't. Time moves slowly in the show because they didn't want it to turn into "That '80's Show". In the first episode, he say's he's 17 but the second episode was his 17th birthday so he must have been 16. The first 12 episodes are set in 1976, the next 2 seasons are set in 1977, the next 3 seasons are set in 1978, and the remaining shows take place in 1979 with the final show on Dec 31, 1979 when Eric must be 20 as he turned 17 in 1976.
