22. That '70s Finale

Complete story — includes the ending

In the 200th episode and series finale, it is December 31, 1979, the final day of the '70s. In a bit of a clip show, all the characters reminisce about the decade. Hyde helps a hesitant Kitty and Red decide about moving. Fez searches for the perfect time and place for his first kiss with Jackie while Kelso returns to spend the last night of the '70s with his friends. Kelso also falls off the water tower (again), after being tricked by Fez and Hyde. Red and Kitty announce to their guests that they decided not to move to Florida. As Donna leaves the room for some air, Eric returns just in time for New Year's Eve. He apologizes to Donna, who says things "are a lot different now", and they kiss and reconcile. Eric then joins the guys in the final "circle" of the decade when Donna and Jackie tell them to get upstairs to ring in the new year. But before they do, Eric states the last person upstairs has to call Red a dumbass. Everyone races upstairs, leaving Kelso behind after Hyde pushes him. Kelso is the final character to be seen as he dejectedly grabs "the stupid helmet" and prepares to call Red a dumbass. As the '70s end, the episode ends in a final shot of the Formans' basement with the voices of everyone upstairs counting down to midnight. The episode ends abruptly just as they reach "one", cutting to the license plate of the Vista Cruiser one last time reading "That '70s Show" with an "80" registration tag. The end credits roll over the very same last scene from the first episode, of the gang singing " Hello It's Me " by Todd Rundgren.
