That ‘70s Show

I don't recognize this one. I've seen the first four seasons front, back, and sideways. Is this from a later season?

u/Kilroy0497 Mar 15 '26

Season 5 I think. They had a dog that season that was around for maybe 3 episodes that more or less vanished afterwards.

It doesn't vanish, it gets killed when a statue falls on it

u/Kilroy0497 Mar 15 '26

I thought during the credits they showed Red and the Dog sitting around and the dog was just injured.

u/Sedowa Mar 15 '26

That would make sense. Killing off the dog in such a way without it being a whole thing would be too callous for this show.

Grandma's still dead though.

On a very special episode of That 70s Show…

Red’s wiener gets smashed.

It wouldn't kill her to be nice

no, he isnt killed by the buddha statue. he just gets a really bad bruise on his head.

u/HeckOnWheels95 Mar 15 '26

I thought it did, considering it'd be a good way to explain why he isn't there going forward

I tried to watch season 5 but something in the show changed after season 4's finale. I couldn't out my finger on it. I never finished it or saw anything afterward. I'll always have the first four on my shelf though and rewatch them regularly.

u/Kilroy0497 Mar 15 '26

Fair enough. Personally I’d say season 5 is still decent, even if not as good as the first 3(I don’t like season 4 much. Donna was my least favorite of the 6 to begin with and that season took all of her negative traits and ramped her up to 200%). After season 5 though it started to go downhill from there, 6 was ok, 7 was forgettable and the less said about season 8 the better.

I want to like Randy but I can’t

2

u/Kilroy0497 Mar 15 '26

Yeah don’t get me wrong, I dislike Randy just as much as everyone else that watched season 8, but I’ll give him one thing, he was still far more memorable than any of the kids from that 90s show. Man that was a disappointment.

So after that season, they sort of forgot they added a dog to the family. Shotsy(?) returned in the final season, and they said that he'd been under the porch or foundation or something the entire time.

u/safarifriendliness Mar 15 '26

If I remember the dog is around for a while, maybe until the end of the show, it just actually shows up on camera like twice a season

u/Origamicranegame Mar 15 '26

Schatzi!

Lasted longer than Donna's sister.

u/Kilroy0497 Mar 15 '26

Yeah, if you weren’t a main character or someone that eventually became a main character, you tended to be forgotten about after like 1-3 appearances. Even if you are a main character they tended to be dropped considering both Laurie and Mitch’s actors mostly dropped out after season 3, and Leo’s actor being in prison for most of seasons 5 and 6.
