Things you would liked to have seen on the show?

1. Laurie back for the finale and straightened out, given what happened to the actress Kitty's remark about her in the final ep now seems rather cruel. Would also have been nice to see Donna's sisters (were they from Bob's previous marriage?).

2. Have Hugh Hefner on the show, maybe Michael could meet him at the Playboy club? Jackie asks to pose but instead he prefers the newly blonde Donna (who's tempted despite her feminism). Outraged Jackie dyes her hair but screws it up and ends up a redhead, having to walk in Donna's shoes for a week.

3. Red stoned, that would be a great ep right there.

4. The gang wonder what life will be like in the 1980s? Kelso suggests a TV show where 2 undercover cops in Miami drive sports cars and wear smart suits but everyone else thinks his idea blows.

5. A couple of punks come to the record store and badmouth Led Zeppelin as old news, Hyde realising he's no longer on the cusp of the music scene.

6. Wonder Woman, I don't think they ever mentioned it despite the fact it was huge at the time. How about Donna, Jackie and Midge all wearing the WW outfit to a Halloween party (Bob could be the Incredible Hulk).

7. Randy comes out of the closet.

8. Midge references Charlie's Angels, maybe showing the girls how to do the pose in Fez's dream sequence.

9. Kitty gives up booze for Lent and becomes a horrific person, the gang intent on getting her drunk again.

10. Donna and Jackie kiss.

11. Police cadet Kelso calls himself 'the future of law enforcement' but Red tells him in the future cops will be robots.

12. Leo gets hit by lightning and gets snapped out of it much to everyone's horror.

I would have liked it to lean more into some of the dramatic aspects touched on in the first couple seasons. Red's disillusionment with his life and his country featured quite a lot at first ("How the hell could you pardon Nixon?" and "Where's the country I knew as a boy? You tell me, dear God!") and it balanced things out with just a touch of the bittersweet. That would've been cool.

For instance, Hyde just falling into money and owning a business. I thought that was basically a fantasy storyline and the show would have been served better by letting Hyde be a burnout.

Other than that, all my suggestions would basically be for them to not do 95% of what they did to the show the minute Eric and Donna (and Kelso) get back from California. That show jumped the shark HARD in the first two episodes of season five...

Needed to convince Henry Winkler to join---town doctor??

They already had gotten Tom Bosley to be a therapist

But him as the GP who can fix everything would have been perfect.

Some good ideas being put out. As I hinted at in another thread here we should have seen a lot more of the teachers. I grew up at the same time as the gang and my family was always bumping into my teachers at church, a store, or town event. I had the hots for my English teacher senior year who was only a year or two out of college. Maybe Eric has to duck into the bathroom to relieve himself after his hottie teacher's class? Eric seems like the kind of kid that had somebody in school picking on him. Where is that character or characters.
