ABBA mistake in That 70's Show (potential spoilers)

I won’t spoil tonight’s ep for those on the West Coast, but there is a scene involving a differently-remembered flashback. In it, Jackie remembers Hyde showing off his latest ABBA album - the first Greatest Hits album. The show is currently set in 1978. The album in question was issued in 1975. Hyde then plays a song supposedly from that album - “Dancing Queen”. That song came from Arrival which came out in 1976. Also, the name ABBA was blacked out on the album’s cover.
That was your ABBA-geek contribution for the week.
Carry on. :smiley:

I knew I liked you for a reason.

ABBA is the best. I recall dancing to it at my 3rd grade birthday party. So there!

I wonder why the name was blackened out. After all they said ABBA.

Hmmm.

Copyright issues concerning the album cover art?

I don’t know if this counts as a mistake. Just because the album was released three years earlier doesn’t mean that Hyde couldn’t have just bought it. (As if he would have been caught dead listening to ABBA. When did the Ramones first come out on vinyl?)

Besides, it was Jackie’s fantasy story. We all know that she is shallow and inconsistent. I only wondered why she didn’t imagine Hyde dressed better…

Besides, it was That 70s Show. We all know that that show seems to make a game out of the anachronisms it includes.

:wink:

Doesn’t Hyde look hot in his beard? Hope he keeps it.

In the interest of balance:

Doesn’t Donna look hot in her uniform? Hope she keeps it.

What IS it guys find hot about girls in Catholic school uniforms? As a straight Jewish lady, this completely gob-smacks me.

As a former Catholic schoolgirl who wore icky uniforms for 12 years, it gob-smacks me, too.

Eve, h.sapiens, I am there with you in your confusion.

My boyfriend (who is Jewish) says it is all about schoolboy fantasies.

I’m considering getting one just for his benefit. Okay, mine too.

Well the knee high stockings are hot. And there’s the skirt, you got that little bit of skin between the hem and the top of the stockings. The smallest amount of skin without seeming to be covered up is always good. Very tantalizing. Plus it means she goes to an all girls school.

Sigh, I wish I was 15 again.
Now back to “That 70s Show.” They’ve fudged their ages and school year right and the year as well, right?

Oh and if Hyde corrupts Jackie they’d make the cutest couple. Lucky guy.

Another ABBA fan here. Also a fan of Hyde’s beard.
