It was the launching pad for some of the hottest young talents in Hollywood today — Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher to Mila Kunis — and it’s a hoot to watch these shows and see how young they were. They’re pretty funny, too, especially Kunis as Jackie Burkhart the relatively straight-laced girlfriend who likes her man (Kutcher) kept on a very short leash. Watching the series now, though, it’s the parents who come across as the really funny people. Debra Jo Rupp is fantastic as Kitty Forman, the slightly off-center wife of the hilarious patriarch of the Forman clan, Red (Kurtwood Smith). Some of the 70s references may feel a little dated, but the parents in the show are timeless.
