| hilarious sitcom that takes place in, believe | | | | 5. Roller Disco |
| it or not, the 70s. Located in a fictional | | | | |
| suburb of Green Bay, Wisconsin known as Point | | | | 6. Eric's Panties |
| Place, the series revolves around the comical | | | | |
| daily interactions of the Forman family and | | | | 7. Baby Fever |
| their friends and neighbors. This third | | | | |

| tackles similar issues as the earlier seasons | | | | |
| like sex, drugs, dating, friendships, and | | | | 9. Hyde's Christmas Rager |
| family values. These issues turn into a few | | | | |
| sticky situations that should leave you | | | | 10. Ice Shack |
| rolling over with laughter. Like the earlier | | | | |
| seasons, the third is filled with some really | | | | 11. Who Wants It More |
| great comedy, which is mostly due to its | | | | |
| great cast and funny episodes.For season | | | | 12. Fez Gets The Girl |
| three, there are a lot of fun episodes and | | | | |
| stories. The first bunch we'll talk about | | | | 13. Dine & Dash |
| have to do with relationships. In the first | | | | |
| two seasons Kelso and Jackie have been an | | | | 14. Radio Daze |
| item. In season two Jackie found out Kelso | | | | |
| cheated on her with Laurie and they broke up. | | | | 15. Donna's Panties |
| In this season Jackie sets her eyes on Hyde. | | | | |

| asks her out on date in "Jackie Bags Hyde". | | | | 17. Kitty's Birthday (That's Today?!) |
| They find out the chemistry isn't quite | | | | |
| there. Meanwhile, Kelso is trying to make | | | | 18. The Trials Of M. Kelso |
| things work with Laurie, but also still has | | | | |
| feelings for Jackie. As for Fez, this season | | | | 19. Eric's Naughty No-No |
| marks his first girlfriend. Midway into the | | | | |
| season, he meets a girl named Caroline. | | | | 20. Holy Craps |
| Unfortunately for him, she turns out to be a | | | | |
| bit crazy in the head. This eventually turns | | | | 21. Fez Dates Donna |
| into the fun episode "Fez Dates Donna", where | | | | |
| Fez pretends to date Donna to get away from | | | | 22. Eric's Drunken Tattoo |
| his crazy girlfriend.The other young | | | | |
| lovebirds, Donna and Eric, are still together | | | | 23. Canadian Road Trip |
| in this season. Many of the episodes are | | | | |
| about their cozy little relationship. | | | | 24. Backstage Pass |
| "Romantic Weekend" is a perfect episode about | | | | |
| the couple. In it, Eric takes Donna away for | | | | 25. The Promise RingThe DVDVideo: |
| a few days of romance. Unfortunately for | | | | |
| Eric, he left the brochure for the bed and | | | | This release is given in its original |

| When Eric and Red find out they're staying in | | | | providing a clear and clean picture with |
| the same place, they try their best to | | | | minor color distortions and compression |

| nothing goes their way and when things get | | | | presentation, providing less grain in the |
| messed up, you'll laugh. "Baby Fever" is | | | | picture.Audio: |

| together. The reflection segments are an | | | | English Dolby digital stereo surround. The |
| absolute riot.The rest of the episodes we'll | | | | audio in this release comes off fairly flat. |
| look at are just plain silly. "Dine & Dash" | | | | However as with most TV on DVD releases it's |
| is a ridiculous episode, where Kelso treats | | | | not necessarily bad, as the majority of the |
| his friends to an expensive lobster dinner. | | | | audio is spoken dialogue. The sound quality |
| When the meal is over, he informs everyone | | | | is very good, providing an audible and clean |
| they are going to leave without paying. One | | | | audio track. There is also very little |

| leaving poor Eric alone. "Holy Craps" sees | | | | release also has subtitles in English and |
| the return of Pastor Dave (Kevin McDonald, | | | | supports closed captioning.Extras: |

| a hilarious performance from Cheers' John | | | | Trainer, Danny Masterson, Don Stark, Kurtwood |
| Ratzenberger. Pastor Dave also shows up in | | | | Smith, Debra Jo Rupp, Mila Kunis, and Wilmer |
| "Eric's Drunken Tattoo". The episode has some | | | | Valderrama talking about season three, where |

| with season three. If you couldn't tell from | | | | extras to be much better than previous |
| my reviews of season one or season two, I | | | | seasons. While they hold very little replay |
| really love this show. The episodes in this | | | | value, they are nonetheless informative about |

| what you find in past seasons. If you are | | | | perspectives.Final Thoughts: |
| looking to laugh over and over again, then | | | | |
| season three of That '70s Show has more than | | | | That '70s Show has a lot going for it. Not |
| enough fun packed in its episodes. It comes | | | | only is there some fine writing and |
| highly recommended.Episode Guide | | | | excellently plotted episodes, but the cast |
| | | | works together so gracefully that it is hard |
| 1. Reefer Madness | | | | not to laugh at every single joke. I have |
| | | | seen all of the episodes in this season set, |
| 2. Red Sees Red | | | | some more than once, and they are just as |
| | | | funny as the first time. Overall I think this |
| 3. Hyde's Father | | | | box set is worth every penny. It is funny, |
| | | | entertaining, and has a very high replay |
| 4. Too Old To Trick Or Treat, Too Young To | | | | value. Highly recommended. |
