Graduated from HS in 1974, so the show was enjoyable for me as well, although I +1 on how the show went terribly downhill at the end. The scary thing was that in the first three seasons I was constantly seeing the guys wearing clothes that I had in college. Unfortunately, it was never the cool guy Hyde who was wearing the clothes I had, with the exception of one Zep tee-shirt.

Hmm, one of those shows I could never 'get into', perhaps it's a bit age dependant?

Its about High school and early college age kids in the mid to late 1970's What do you think was going on then???
I grew up exactly on their time line having graduated from a small town high school in 1976. And this show is unbelievably accurate in almost every way.
Also for your amusment has anyone else caught the Gilligans Island Simularity?

I like the show alot when it first started. I graduated HS also in 74, although I was from a tiny rural town. Still tons of it rang true. The clothes/costumes were dead on accurate, as were the set and props. As someone who was involved in theater when I was younger, those things have always been a major interest of mine.
The music was not to my taste when I was in h.s. I mean, we didn't listen to the same music the kids on that show do, being more into folky/hippie stuff (more Tull, less Cheap Trick, I guess) and deemed a lot of the bands they listen to and talk about as "butt rock" or "stadium rock" probably out of jealousy that none of those bands toured anywhere near a place we could get to! I think the Greatful Dead may have been the only band touring Oregon in those days! LOL (JK)
Anyway, I never liked Kelso, but he was dead on my cousin's boyfriend, Jackie was dead on my cousin (although my cousin only thought she was that cute) and most of the cheerleaders I knew. I never liked Eric, either, he reminded me of lots of the boys I knew though. I think they should have made him that ONE dude that was toooooo straight and did not smoke pot but only drank beer and then thought he was better than the dopers.
Anyway.....
Yeah, Red and Kitty were the best part of the show, too. I think my dad was Red.

You went to high school right? Cause honestly the time period of the show has little bearing on anything. That's why the show was not only enjoyed by people who were the same age as the characters in the 70's but to people my age as well. High School has always been High School and Kids have always been kinds. It's basically a pretty ageless show as far a story and characters go.
