These episode summaries may not necessarily get into the nitty-gritty of each episode(we college students have BAD memories), but hopefully the musings will make you think...you know, think! It's that thing Kelso doesn't do!
That ConcertEric's hair color: a nice, normal dark brown.
This episode introduces us to the gang(what pilots are usually for...duh). Eric, Donna, Hyde, Kelso, Fez, and tagalong Jackie conspire to attend a Todd Rundgren(or, as Jackie would say, "Todd Rundargren")concert after Red Foreman, Eric's stoic pappy, hands him the old car.Unfortunately, the battery goes and the crew has to resort to swapping tickets for a battery. Kelso and Jackie practice scouting techniques in the car as everyone else grabs their lighters and boogies. In this episode, we see walls move, pot toked, and a nice lil' kiss between Eric and Donna.
@Why Todd Rundgren? Why not Aerosmith?
@Fez really really needs to call people whore more often.
@Hyde+pot=one paranoid boy.
@I for one am looking forward to a Donna/Jackie cat fight. I think it'll happen if Jackie does the whole bathroom thing again.
That Birthday PartyEric's Hair Color: almost as red as Lil' Orphan Annie.
It's birthday time for Eric(what age? Who knows. They said he was 17 in the pilot, so...). Of course, Ma and Pa Cleaver are planning a surprise and doing an awful time hiding it. Eric's sister(who we will refer to as Satan's Spawn)comes home from college for the occasion, inspiring Kelso's fractured mind to fantasize like mad. Eric and Donna are also dealing with the aftermath of the kiss. Unfortunately, Jackie has decided to help Donna, which means that all is doomed. The (ha!) surprise party happens, Eric gets the 8-track he asked not to have, and receives a candle from Donna. I personally think things would have gotten interesting if those other kids weren't spying on the possible couple.
@Satan's Spawn must have been switched at birth with Eric's real sister. Something tells me that this thing residing in the house belongs to Charles Manson.
@Was Eric wearing a Burger King crown?
@Fez saying 'Hooterville' is funnier than the majority of TV today.
@Someone...give Mr. Pinciotti hair relaxer!
That Streaking SceneEric's Hair Color: strawberry-reddish-blonde type thing.
Gerald Ford is coming to town, Eric's dad has been laid off, and Hyde wants to do something about it. The guys decide to streak in the middle of Ford's speech, and Hyde even plans to write a happy message on his ass in celebration. Eric agrees in a hilarious Last Supper-esque scene. Meanwhile, poor Red Forman is tapped to ask an inane question when he really wants to berate Ford for him losing his job. The boys grab trench coats, conspire even more,but suddenly decide not to streak...except for Eric, who, in a fit of solidarity with his dad, runs out in a Nixon mask to disrupt the whole shindig. Guess what, Eric? Daddy knew it was you!
@Was that really Topher streaking, or some stunt double type?
@ Since when did Kelso actually care about who Jackie talked to?
@If Eric was Jesus in the Last Supper scene, then who was Judas?
@Will the Pinciotti flag ever fly again?
That Whipping Boy Called Kelso!Eric's Hair Color: strawberry-blonde type thing, but veddy red when he's in his gal clothes.
The world of the kids is as crazy as ever...Red Forman is on a Mr. Fix-It spree to rival Tim Allen, Jackie is probably busy measuring dog collars to train 'Michael', and Eric is facing a severe case of 'the male syndrome', where guys feel they must win against women in all things, lest they appear to be any less of 'real' men. Donna has whooped Eric's ass in basketball, something that causes poor Eric to be dubbed a wuss by the guys and Donna to be forced to listen to Jackie ramble on about West Side Story. Kelso is also getting razzed about his utter 'whipped=ness' by his gal Friday Jackie. Even Fez gets into the razzing act...a little too much. Quit daydreaming, silly boy! Eric tries to beat Donna at air hockey and fails, leading to one silly Eric in lipstick and a dress. Donna and Eric argue as she tries to throw a game of b-ball to let him win, and they both get advice that doesn't help a bit from their mothers before wrassling in the grass. Kelso, meanwhile, accepts the fact that he is whipped while consoling himself with the fact that at least he's gettin'some.
@Is Eric's hair color changing by the episode? First dark brown, then red, and now's it's looking a tad strawberry blonde. What next-white? The poor boy's going to need Rogaine 'fore the season is done!
@Sing with me, people: 'Fez is lusting after Jackie, Fez is lusting after Jackie!'
@I think Jackie may be borrowing some of her man's 'stash'...I mean, was that West Side Story conversation just a tad bit disjointed? Jackie, no toking before talking on the phone!
@It's a sad world when you realize that Eric's fake breasts look much nicer than your real ones.
@Say it with me...WOULD ERIC AND DONNA JUST GET THE HECK TOGETHER ALREADY!! SCREW ROMANTIC TENSION, JUST KISS AGAIN!
That Burger Job!Eric's Hair Color: back to fifty different shades of brown and blonde hair. I pity Topher Grace.
Donna's lusting for the scrawny neighbor boy, Eric's in search of a job, and Kelso's in search of a brain. The Pinciottis have left for the Playboy Club. Poor Donna just wants to spend time with good ol' Eric so they can further explore that romantic tension, but the dumb idiot of the month, 'Michael' Kelso, decides that the time is now to have a toga party. In the meantime, a clueless Eric applies for a job at Fatso Burger and is hired by none other than Danny Partridge himself. Too bad he's always working, causing Donna to turn to Hyde for some pseudo-psychiatric help. The night of the party draws close, and Eric is stuck at Fatso Burger while Fez uses his Latin Lover skills on Donna's little sister. As the guys try to fudge beer from the Forman lair, Donna visits Eric. The romantic tension goes nowhere as per usual, and Eric quits Fatso Burger. During this ep, the Formans are their usual odd-advice giving selves. The Pinciottis...we won't go there.
@It has now been proven: Kelso has 2 brain cells, and they're fighting to the death. A toga party??
@Anyone else thinking that Hyde must have been dropped on his head a tad too much when he was a kid? Though, I must admit, the 'scrawny neighbor boy' taunts were hilarious.
@If Fez keeps this Latin Lover style up in between his burgeoning interest in Jackie and Kelso's sex life, expect to see the boy with gold chains and one hairy chest. Can we say...PIMP?
@If Satan's Spawn and lil' Tina Pinciotti ever get together, the world as we know it will be over. Their evil minds could take over everything.
@Donna and Eric...or Donna and Hyde? Hmmmm...both could be interesting couples. Hey, it's free love time here...oops, not for a network show. Never mind.
That Sign...Of Beer!Eric's Hair Color: We're getting redder by the second, people. It seems a tad shorter, too. I knew that his hair would start disintegrating from all the dye sooner or later.
Eric Forman, bad-ass? he's sure trying to be one in order to impress that saucy redhead from next door. He skips study hall after being tormented by the jocks from hell Destroy and Give-Back, and as he drives off with his gal Friday Donna(and stowaways Kelso and Hyde), they spot....THE KEG. Of course, the kiddies decide to have a funky kegger in order to make money. Eric and Donna's mom are fooled into giving away their tub and plastic cups for 'a volcano', but Pops Forman and Pinciotti smell a rat. The group throws their party in an empty pool. Too bad they forgot the tap...and too bad Destroy and Give-Back had to run into Kelso after he bought one. Tap-less and with a renewed vigor from tormenting the jocks, Eric goes into bad-ass mode and steals a tap from red Forman, cocktail dad. Luckily, the Misses Pinciotti and Forman are too busy getting drunk on daiquiris and bawling over 'Rich man, Poor Man' to notice. Unfortunately, the kids get found by Jackie's real estate mama, and Eric's bad-ass ways come to a screeching halt after he encounters Pops Forman in the pool. Eric soon becomes a bad-ass in a different way, though--that randy boy kisses Donna! Ooh, you rascal!
@ Kelso can do math. I think this proves he's an idiot savant and possibly related to Rain Man. 'I'm a good whipped boy...'
@ Someone please inform Fez that killing virgins really isn't necessary in the USA! Oh, and Fez...you must brush up more on the American jokes, OK?
@ Hyde, you're definitely more saucy than Kelso by a long shot. Anyone feel like arguing that with me?
@ Snicklefritz? Opie? Dear Lord, Eric already has chameleon hair--don't torture the poor boy even more with evil nicknames!
@ Destroy and Give Back=Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. 'Nuff said. Morons.
Boogie Till You Puke!Eric's Hair Color: We're veering back into strawberry blonde territory, people. What the heck is up with the length? it changes daily, like that Barbie I used to have whose hair you could cut and then add more to. Scary.
Everyone has disco fever. Burn baby burn, disco inferno! Jackie finally proves that she can occasionally be good for something; while everyone else is playing a game of Anaconda, she reveals that there's a new disco opening in Kenosha. Everyone starts collecting bottle to help Eric pay for gas, but Hyde isn't going. Why? He can't dance. Not a lick. Lucky for him, Red and Kitty Forman come to the rescue. Unfortunately, Bob Pinciotti snoops and starts thinking that Hyde and Kitty are having an illicit affair when they're just dancing away. Another wonderful silly pot scene is included, with Fez becoming evil in his quest for toast and Kelso musing about France and about thinking. Hmm, I thought you had to have a brain to muse. The kids go to Kenosha, where Kelso proves that his mind cannot control his body on the dance floor, Fez becomes the Latin Travolta and sweeps Jackie off of her feet, and Hyde...well, he wants to kiss Donna! Oh, the romantic tension! Meanwhile, the Pinciottis meddle away, causing Kitty to gossip about Stella and Red to play iwth Bon's permanent solution tainted mind. The episode ends with the 'Are they or aren't they?' couple Eric and Donna singing ABBA tunes with a big smooch in between.
@What kind of toast, Fez? Whole wheat? White? I think he's the pumpernickel type. I just like the word.
@Hyde...the Afro is getting bigger....it's the Afro that ate Point Place!
@I'm taking bets on when Jackie will get smacked upside the head and by whom. I'm hoping it's Donna just so I can see a cat fight.
@Dear Bob and Midge: Quit worrying about your neighbors. Start worrying about that alien object that has taken residence on Bob's head.
@Why ABBA? Someone tell me why!
Quick! Grab some beers from the party!
Hello Wisconsin! It's The Top Ten!
Damnit, I'm Not Obsessed, Whore!
Groovy whores are the bestest!
