Visible crew/equipment: The edge of the camera lens is visible throughout this episode. It's also known as vignetting.
Visible crew/equipment: In the futuristic sequence, several times you can see the edge of the lens. This is likely because the show was reframed in 16:9 but on a 4:3 screen in 1999, the edge would not be visible.
Visible crew/equipment: When Kelso sees Jackie in the hallway at the rally, he walks over to her. As he does this, the shadow of the camera is visible on the lower half of his coat.
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.
