That '70s Show - Season 1 is a Fox Home Entertainment release and is rated .
If you have not yet caught an episode of "That '70s Show" then you are missing out on one of the greatest sitcoms to come out in a long time. Finally the first season has come to DVD and I was astonished how many classic episodes were actually all in the first season.

Back before Ashton Kutcher was a household name and he was attached to Demi Moore's arm and Topher Grace was known to a whole other world as "that kid in Traffic" a show was born called "That 70s Show" from the creators of "3rd Rock from the Sun," following a group of kids who are living out those typical teenage years in the 70s .

"'70s Show" just celebrated their 100th episode and continue to crank out season after season as they have just entered their 7th season on Fox. Following the life of Eric Foreman (Grace) and his friends the show tells the story of these six friends on their journey through the 70s and into the early stages of becoming and adult.

The first season offers up such classic episodes as Eric streaking through President Ford's visit, the one where they find the abandoned keg, Eric's first date with Donna and my personal favorite, the first time the gang sees Star Wars, after all, is all Luke wanted to do was "go to Toshi Station to get some power converters." Plus there has not been a character as funny as Fez since Kramer was on "Seinfeld."

Along with all 25 first season episodes Fox keeps the special features to a minimum with a making-of featurette, a short vignette of promotional commercials put together in a music video format and a cheesy little "That '70s Show" trivia thing, which should be avoided.

I catch this show every so often, but until I had the chance to sit through this many episodes in one bunch I didn't realize just how great this series actually is, and considering it is currently in its 7th season hopefully we can expect a 2nd and 3rd season release in the near future.

If you are any kind of sitcom fan, and DVD fan, I don't see how you can avoid adding this one to your collection. I promise you, once you put it in the player it isn't coming out until all 25 episodes are done.
