Neeto! Hey, I got a pair of black-and-white checkered Vans slip-ons and some OP shirts if they are in desperate need of wardrobe. Anybody got some old Gunny Sax dresses or leg warmers they can lend to the cause?
Amazing Magic-Gro Monster: Amazingly enough, Tab is still sold in the supermarket here in Southern California.
For someone who was born right as the 70s ended, I usually don’t catch all the anachronisms or pay too much attention to the language. The show is funny, that’s what’s important. Besides, when has TV ever been accurate at portraying anything?
evilhanz, thanks for the link, even if what I was looking for wasn’t there. Now I can conclusively say that I might have found a trippy little mistake, or I might have been mistaken. 
Either way, I’m getting the impression that no one else has noticed this, nor does anyone really give a rat’s ass. But I’ll always be able to say that maybe I caught something. 
[hijack]We HAD all of those states back then. The US flag was not changed to remove the Southern states during the Civil War. It’s just that Oregon, Kansas, West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North and South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii weren’t states in 1858. (Yes, I used a list.)[/hijack]
This coment made my day. Thanks Arken
I think Amazing Magic-Gro Monster may have been referring to the style of can used. In the 70’s we still had pull-tab cans. The tab came off of the can when you pulled it, and you were left holding a can of soda in one hand and the little pull-tab in the other.
The 70s show is filled with anachronisms, but so what, it’s a sit come.
I was Eric without the drop dead gorgeous girlfriend or the pot in the late 70s. The show is sometimes PIPROFLMAO funny (Red, Kitty, Bob and Midge have got to be based on people I know. And the she-devil Lori? I’ve dated her.) And Leo is a dead on ringer for Tommy Chong, right down to the looks and the voice and character. It is absolutely amazing! What ever happened to Tommy Chong anyway?
SPOILER ALERT!!! Anyway, at the end of last season when Eric dumped Donna, I’ve concluded that it was all an awful nightmare.
I’m so glad industry got rid of those silly pull tabs. Those things were littered everywhere!
The U.S. flag switched from 31 to 32 stars on July 4, 1858 to add the most recent state, Minnesota.
Umm, isn’t panamajack making a joke?
He’s adding the 46 and 14 to get 60, 10 more than now.
[sup]I hope I’m right…
He plays a burned out hippie on That 70’s show.
You can always tell what year it is by looking at the licence plate at the end of the show.
P.S. My grandparents were Red and Kitty, cept they were Max and Rose. And he was that way all the way till he died in 92. So I laugh and laugh. Although I’m not a sitcom nitpicker, I’m a sci-fi nitpicker so it all evens out.
Oh, I get it! I get jokes.
My wife thinks I’ll turn into Red in another 15 or 20 years. I’m not exactly sure why she thinks that (unless it’s solely based on my hair loss), because I’m a pot-smoking weirdo, which is pretty much the type of person Red hates.
Sorry to contradict you, tomndebb, but that doesn’t work. Methods of circumventing this bug are covered in this ATMB thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=30833
Didn’t notice the discrepancy on the map (wasn’t paying that much attention), but I did notice that when they sang the national anthem they sang the “new” version (a couple of lines were changed in 1980). At least they got the fact that we have stronger beer up here in the Great White North right. (I think that last sentence is grammatically incorrect, but I’m not sure why; it’s not like I used a preposition to end a sentence with.)
We all become what we hate… which probably means I’ll turn out to be a Mac-worshipping Trekkie with an addiction to Pepsi One. And short hair.
Personally, I like the show. It’s very entertaining to me. What I’m wondering, is why so many people watch the show, but say they hate it?!
If you don’t like it… DON’T WATCH IT!
My wife and kids all call me Red because of it. I don’t think I’m even close to being that grouchy.
Don’t worry yourself. I don’t.
I watch this show, but not as a documentary or an accurate portrayal of anything. It’s TV, it’s mindless entertainment, and it’s made me laugh on more than on occasion. That’s a lot more than I can say about a lot of things…
