That '70s Show

The '70s Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Red throws the keys to the Vista Cruiser to Eric, you can see he (Eric) catches them with both hands clasped together, then the camera cuts to show Red and Kitty (with the back of Eric's head) you see now that his right hand is clenched in the air, then it cuts again and his hands are clasped together again. He could not have moved his hands that quick.

The '70s Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Eric gets the keys to the Vista Cruiser, just after he catches them, you can see that the door to the living room is wide open, but before when Red and Kitty were telling him the responsibilities of owning a car, it is closed. No one had gone through the door during the entire scene.

The Career Day - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kitty comes downstairs to give the gang cookies, she tells Eric that she picked out an outfit for him to wear on career day. He then turns and mouths the words "Help me." In the next shot you can see Jackie sitting on Kelso's lap when in the previous episode, she broke up with him. In the next shot she is standing behind him. (00:01:00)

Suggested correction: This episode (production code 120) was filmed before the "Water Tower" episode (production code 123). It was just aired out of order. If you watch it in the right order, there is no mistake.

Suggested correction: Eric said, "Do you remember when we painted the pot leaf on the Water Tower?" Hyde said, "Vandalism isn't a good reason to stay." Eric said, "We wouldn't do it without him, meaning vandalism."

That's not what was said at all. Eric said, "Remember? We were gonna paint that pot leaf on the Water Tower?" Hyde then says, "You can do that without me."

Hyde Moves In - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Kelso enters Jackie's room (the second time) when she is sick, she throws the teddy bear at the door. When Kelso enters there is a shot of the bear in front of him at his feet. The scene changes to only show him from the waist up (he never moves) and then changes to a longer shot where he is still seen. The bear, once at his feet, is nowhere to be seen. The shot then changes to Jackie and back to the longer shot of Kelso. The bear is now behind Kelso's feet.

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.

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)

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.

Donna's Story - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Jackie enters the basement and say: "Oh my God Donna, great story." while she is holding the newspaper by the sides. In the next shot, while the gang is laughing, she is now holding it by the bottom.

Eric's Hot Cousin - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Kitty asks Red for a cat Red is reading a copy of Time magazine. He closes the magazine and puts it down on his knee while he tells her why he doesn't want a cat in the house but in the next shot the magazine is back in his hands and open to where it was before he closed it.

Misty Mountain Hop - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Red and Eric were talking in the driveway there was a van right next to them. The tail lights shown on that particular model were only produced in the mid 80's and later.

The Career Day - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kitty comes downstairs to give the gang cookies, she tells Eric that she picked out an outfit for him to wear on career day. He then turns and mouths the words "Help me." In the next shot you can see Jackie sitting on Kelso's lap when in the previous episode, she broke up with him. In the next shot she is standing behind him. (00:01:00)

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.
