Raise A glass To the Life of 70’s in The 70’s Show

“Oh, life in the 70’s- it was MIRACULOUS- nothing like the way you people live today”.

Isn’t this one of the common dialogues the teenagers today get to hear a lot? Was the 70’s really so glorious or is it just another cheeky line that caught the attention and has been hogging limelight. Well, one cannot really go back in time but you have a better alternative. Watch The 70’s Show.

The 70’s Show- A Retreat To The Golden Era?

Directed by David Trainer, The 70’s Show contrary to its name is not all about flat bottoms and the things that made 70’s the golden era. It has its share of nostalgia of the golden era but it is much more than that. It is a period sitcom that aimed at making people laugh and enjoy their time. With the right dose of subtlety, it emphasized on a lot of issues and the changes that have come in the society today and how “old was gold”.

The 70’s Show was first aired on 1998 and it had eight consecutive seasons and it ended with its 200th episode back in 2006. The popularity is so whopping that even today in 2013, there are people who catch up old episodes of The 70’s Show.

There are a lot of different elements of the show that spanned huge popularity. The circle, the dream sequences, the vista cruiser, the running gags, the stupid helmet and the water tower are some of the most common elements that make The 70’s Show so charmingly popular.

Stars at their Best

The cast of the 70’s show must be applauded for their phenomenal performance.  Topher Grace as the geeky boy wins a lot of heart with his stunning performance.  Even Mila Kunis who is initially portrayed as a spoilt brat is liked and loved by audiences as the series progresses because she starts looking more hot than sweet. Danny Masterson is the cool hunk who has a smart wit and packed humor and is the guy that teens love to mimic. It is perhaps Ashton Kutcher who is the real hero of the series. Portrayed as the dumb boy initially and the series of misfortune that he goes through makes you feel sorry for the boy you are bound to love.

There are a lot of other characters that blend superbly into their role. What makes The 70’s Show such a hit among people is that it is not individual stand out performances that you will note rather it is how the group blends into a knit and you will actually feel like you are seeing a family in action and the show does not look like it is scripted.

There are a few intense topic of discussions like infidelity, lack of family values, weed, drugs, excessive drinking; teenage behavior and so on and so forth. The 70’s Show contrary to the belief of some people is not a spiritual series that will ask you to quit bad habits and become a hippie like people in 70’s were “supposedly” like. It pokes fun, has its light taste of humor, shows teen smoking weed and enjoying a beer, but it carries the little message that bad things when done in small measures may not be so quantifying horrible. However, when you cross the line, REAL disaster begins. It shows how teens long for freedom and yet when they are free, they tend to come back to the basement and hang around together.

The 70’s Show is not exactly a run of the mill account of what life in the 70’s was like. However, it is one of that legendary sitcom that makes you wish that “oh, boy a 70’s kid had a life I will trade anything for”.

No X Box one, no stylish iPhone, no high definition LED TV and yet The 70’s Show is a hit among the rowdy teens of today. Isn’t that a huge achievement in itself?  It proves what The 70’s Show means a lot to people of today.

What have you got to say for The 70’s Show?

One has to applaud him for his stunning role display as he fits into the role of his character, Mike Ross with grace and perfection that is so smooth that it is hard to think of anyone else in his shoes.

Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter is yet another person who has stolen the show. The impressive way in which he does the dialogue delivery and the expression is what makes him the perfect man for the role.

  Suits is perhaps such a big hit because of the way this duo hits it off. They work in tandem and the plot has the cutting edge appeal. All those who are looking for a pretty chick to rev up the rating have a lot to be happy about.

  Meghan Markle as the paralegal who portrays the role of Rachel is a piece of beauty and is sure to give many men sleepless nights.

The second season managed to rake in similar popularity as people still loved to see their favorite stars solving the cases and flaking their identity in their bid to emerge at the top.

Why people digg the people Breaking Bad

An inside the look into why Heisenberg sells.

  The following piece of news shows the catastrophic influence of television on their audience.

A 57 year old Mathematics teacher who taught in a school in Boston was arrested because he was involved in drug trafficking and a student of his was involved as well. Isn’t this a real life portrayal of Breaking Bad? The only difference being the fact that while girls fall in love at the smart and wicked moves of Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad; Stephan Doran, the real life teacher will have no hot girls to call his name as he is likely to spend the rest of his life locked behind bars.

The television industry is shaping our lives in way we cannot comprehend. The shows that are aired have a direct influence on the current generation and the shows sell what the audience love to see.  Breaking Bad is yet another series that falls in tandem with the thoughts depicted above.

  The plot of this record breaking series revolves around how a protagonist becomes an antagonist.  Walter White who is a struggling chemistry teacher starts on his journey of crime when he discovers that he is suffering from terminal lung cancer.

  There is no point narrating the drama as it simply explores the journey replete with crime that White indulges in. He sells meth-amphetamine by seeking help of one of his students because he wants to make enough money that will help out his family when he is not around anymore.

  This isn’t quite the mainstream flick where we see a handsome hunk saving the lives of one and all and becoming the charming boy that chicks love. Definitely not. In fact that picture that Breaking Bad portrays is quite the opposite of it and yet it did not fail to impress a lot of users all around the globe. So, what does it really mean? We all have a dark evil residing in us that will lurk when time strikes? Although, White is an emblem of crime beautifully portrayed by Bryan Cranston, yet wasn’t it risky to make the protagonist as the lead antagonist?

  As the series progressed, White kept on marching ahead on his road of crime and it seems like he is bereft of any marks of conscience. Yet, the popularity keeps on soaring. So, do we love to side with evil? What is it that sells evil? I have been trying to figure what caused Breaking Bad to be so hugely popular even when it doesn’t follows the successful cliché of “victory of good over evil”.

  The answer is hard to find. It perhaps lies in the fact that we will justify the actions we take. Showbiz People make shows based upon what audiences want to see. The first season of Breaking Bad was a gamble, however, once the popularity peaked, Vince Gilligan, producer of Breaking Bad knew that he has struck a right chord. His confidence emerges from other successful shows like Dexter.

Breaking Bad is just another proof that we may put on the perfect faces, but as long as there is drama and spice, content will sell. You do not need to follow the cliché of “good wins over all evil” to win over the audience. All you need is an engaging plot, a powerful cast and some well executed shots. You mix of all this and you are all set to have a TV show that can take the world by storm because the world is but a marketing campaign. Most of these shows sel a lot of rights for merchandise and other paraphernalia. Be ruthless, be mean and yet sell things that people love to see.
