ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE THIRD EDITION OF "THE BEAU ZONE" ON THE HARD ROCK HEROES WEBSITE FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2004.

I hope in the new and final season of That '70s Show we'll finally get to see the gang, horror of horrors, ENTER 1980!!! You see, they have been in a time warp since Christmas. Let me explain: They did the talking yearbook photos gag at the end of the 2001/02 season with the heading "1978," they graduated high school at the end of the 2002/03 season, so that was 1979, and at the end of 2003 (part of the 2003/04 season) they did the Christmas show. So they must be stuck somewhere between Christmas and New Year's of 1979. 1980 is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!!! They do seem to be playing songs from 1979, and the license plate reads 1979 now, too. I was hoping they would graduate high school in 1980, 'cause that's the year I graduated, but at least Jackie will! Did you see the episode this past season where they accompany her to a high school dance? I had forgotten that she's actually a grade behind the rest of the gang. I remember someone brought it up in the first season. As she's preparing to graduate, someone's gotta burst in shouting, "OH MY GOD!!! PETER CRISS HAS LEFT KISS!!!" I remember that news coming out in May 1980. Americans finish school in May, right? In Canada we finish in June. I would also like to see one of those dream sequences with the four guys doing a parody of Cheap Trick's "Dream Police" video, wearing those Dream Police outfits Cheap Trick also wears on the cover of the DP album. Wouldn't that be nifty?
