Deep cast my foot! Wilmer and Mila play one note characters that have been played out for quite a while. Foremans parents have been running on fumes. The show is down to Donna and Hyde and the writing has gone way downhill. Woohoo season 8 :dubious: Well, At least Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher have something to look forward too. They’ll have left the show before it hit rock bottom. ---

Doesn’t anyone on that show have college plans? Maybe that’s where Eric is going. ---

I think Donna has been attended the local CC for the last two seasons. ---

I seem to remember an episode where they flashed to the 80’s and where Hyde and Donna were married and expecting. Perhaps they’ll use the final season to set that up. ---

Exactly. A [url=]$59.2 Million Gross sounds to me he’s as much a currency magnet is he is a chick magnet. ---

It didn’t work for me either, but here is a working link: [Ashton Kutcher’s box office history](http://boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=ashtonkutcher.htm) ---

I read in US Magazine yesterday that Valderama and Masterson (Fex and Hyde) are getting 1 million per episode. The season will be 16 episodes. ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > I seem to remember an episode where they flashed to the 80’s and where Hyde and Donna were married and expecting. Perhaps they’ll use the final season to set that up. That was an “It’s a Wonderful Life” parody where an angel shows Eric what life would be like if he had never kissed Donna. So it won’t happen.
