A while ago I found a good deal on some That '70s Show scripts, and I impulsively bought them! It was well worth it. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them and noticing the differences between the table read script and what actually aired.

This week's script: S7xE8 "Angie" (note that it is episode 707 on the script 👀... production order vs airing order). This script is very similar to what aired, but I've noted the differences for you below 😊🧐

The first difference occurs during the cold open, in W.B.'s office. This exchange about the missing $3 between Eric, Donna, and Jackie didn't make it into the final cut:

Next was this moment of gossip between Kitty and Fez at the hair salon:

This scene between Hyde, Angie, and W.B. was slightly different:

Next is this brief moment with the gang in the basement. Eric tries to feel them out by mentioning skating/dancing to Donna Summers, and Hyde says that makes him want to kick Eric's ass.

In this script, Kelso joins in on that burn and implies that he and Hyde used to kick Eric's ass when they were younger, but stopped. That detail is omitted in the episode that aired. (I'm personally glad that line was omitted - it would've changed the past characterization of Eric and Hyde's friendship, however slight.)

Next in the same scene, Angie arrives. Jackie gives Angie a backhanded compliment but tells her she can't be friends, and then Angie insults Jackie for wearing last year's jeans. In the episode that aired, they didn't have an exchange in this part.

The next difference is the scene where Donna, Fez, and Kelso see Eric leave for Roller Disco (This is the 🌈 episode 🤣).

There is this missing exchange between Kitty and Jackie, following up on Jackie and Angie's earlier cut exchange:

And the following cut lines are from the scene where Eric walks into the kitchen at the end of the episode and throws away his skates/costume in front of all of his family and friends. Fez reminisces about his own time as a roller disco'er, and Donna wonders about Eric's calf muscles. 😂

So there you have it! Not as many changed bits as some of the episodes, but I did like reading the revisions, as always.

Welcome back to another installment of That '70s Show original scripts - this time we're looking at S2xE23 "Holy Crap!"

Special shoutout to my hubby, who put this in my stocking for Christmas 😘 (The cast signatures are a reprint, but still very cool!!) There were not a ton of changes to this episode, but as always, read on for my summary.

The first change is this cut line from Eric after Red's story about his destroyer going down during the war. Eric (feebly) starts a comeback, but decides against it. 🤣

The next cut moment is Eric talking to God on the driveway when he and Laurie decide to ditch church. Also: 😂

The dialogue between the guys in the next scene at The Hub is slightly different, though the scene ends up in the same place:

The ending of this scene is different. After Kitty tells them "if you want to spend eternity doing laps in a lake of fire, that's your choice!", Red tells the kids their mother is right. And that they should sit down and watch the Brewers game and think about it. 😂

There are two small changes in this scene: Eric's cut line - "Hey, you're both right" - and Donna calling Kelso 'Michael' 😵‍💫

This cut line was funny - after Hyde's eloquent rant about his views on organized religion and why he doesn't participate/attend church, Eric says, "Yeah, that's what I meant. That and the tie thing."

There is this cut (mini) Eric/Donna moment: Bob thinks Eric should be at church, confessing to his dirty, dirty sins. 😂 His comment annoys Donna.

And this one, too! Donna says 'hi' to Eric when they get to heaven 😂🥰

Red and Kitty's conversation here is a little different. Kitty says Eric is 'living like a rock star' because he's sleeping with the next door neighbor and not going to church *lmao*. Red seems to disagree - he has a cut line about Eric being seventeen, and starting to make his own decisions.

In the Circle, Eric continues to freak out/disassociate. 🤣

Then there's this cut moment between Donna and Jackie 👀

Jackie makes it clear she's not taking/hearing Donna's well-intentioned advice to avoid Kelso after he's cheated on her, and claims "now she has to go sleep with him". Donna calls her "dumb - and not regular dumb, like cheerleader dumb".

(I'm personally glad this exchange was cut. Both the Jackie sleeping with Kelso line, and Donna's comment - although I can understand her frustration!)

Finally, there are two short cut scenes at the end.

In the episode, the last scene is in the Forman living room. Kitty excitedly yells, "Ha! C'mon everybody, the Formans are going to church!"

In the script, the next scene cuts to the Formans and Pinciottis in church, presumably right after that.

Then there's this cut Leo/Pastor Dave duet, which was supposed to be the credits scene.

I feel robbed!!! I want to see these two characters singing Godspell, damnit! 🤣😂

That's all she wrote, folks! Thanks for reading along for another one with me, your host, @thatseventiesbitch 😊

A few weeks ago I found a good deal on some That '70s Show scripts, and I impulsively bought them!

Unsurprisingly, the show follows the script pretty much to a tee - but there are a few exceptions where the actor delivers the line differently in the episode, or the scene/dialogue is cut from the episode altogether. That is the stuff I wanted to see, and now I'll share it with you all!

First up: S2xE20 "Kiss of Death" (Note that it is episode 219 on the script 👀... production order vs airing order)

The first deviation is in the scene where Eric brings Donna the replacement kitten (*lol*). From the end of the scene:

(In the episode, it cuts off after Midge says "What did he ever do to you?" This adds some new information: The Pinciottis did not keep the kitten Eric brought for Donna. Makes sense. Donna never mentions a pet/cat again after this episode.)

Eric and Kelso have a cut scene:

(In the show, it cuts off after Eric says/yells "I know!" This adds some new information as well - the idea to be honest with Jackie and apologize came from Eric.)

Another difference: Fez worries about being allowed back in the basement after he inadvertently makes an inappropriate comment to Kitty when he wakes up from his surgery:

And finally, Midge's parting comment about the Mr. Bonker's Memorial Slideshow (😂):

Everything else was virtually identical. 😊

I do wonder about why these bits were cut. I would have liked to see them all! Was it because the episode was too long/for runtime? Or were there other reasons?

A while ago I found a good deal on some That '70s Show scripts online, and I bought them! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them cover to cover, and noticing all the little differences between what was originally printed and what made it to screen. It is my pleasure to compile and share those differences with you all on my blog.

This week's script is S5xE21 "Trampled Under Foot"

There are not very many deviations in this episode, but as always, your detail-oriented *cough* obsessive *cough* reviewer noticed a few! Including one moment for the Zennies aka Jackie/Hyde 'shippers! See below for the breakdown.

The first change is this cut Donna-and-Fez interaction from the end of the scene where Fez tells his friends about he and Nina's conversation, and they inform him that she's actually dumping him.

Next is this missing Jackie/Hyde moment, when the gang is in the kitchen talking to Red and Kitty about adding a new friend to hang out with:

Some more context on the Fez-calling-Eric-at-3am-to-make-sure-they're-still-friends-thing:

(During the Six Million Dollar Man fantasy sequence, at the end when Eric/Hyde/Kelso all shake hands and say 'Doctor'/'Doctor'/'Whoa, Doctor' - that wasn't scripted. The actors might've improvised that particular bit, or it was added later. It's very funny.)

Also note, Eric's dialogue 'Fez, you do need pants' is different/added. As is Donna's line.

Lance is extra creepy with his Donna obsession in the original draft of the script:

Eric's excited ramble about Jake! Bradley! is a little different:

Kitty gave Lance the wrong ingredients for the stuffing recipe. 🤣 Also, again, Lance's Donna obsession:

And, Eric is bitter about Jake Bradley in the final circle. 🤣

That's all for this one! Thanks for reading with me, your host, @thatseventiesbitch 😊

Welcome back to another installment of That '70s Show original script analysis! This week we'll be looking at the season two finale, S2xE26 "Moon Over Point Place". There are not a ton of changes, but there are a few cut moments for the Zennies 🥰 (the episode was written by the Filgos, after all).

The first piece of cut dialogue is between Donna and Kelso in the first scene, after Donna calls out Jackie's burn of Kelso.

Next we have this whole missing scene (!!) between Eric, Donna, and Timmy. It immediately follows their scene at The Hub, where Timmy starts chanting "Hey everybody - Donna showed her ass!"

Timmy asks Donna to sign her butt picture in the year book, and Donna does - with a funny quip. But Eric doesn't see the humor in it and is feeling sorry for himself. He makes his "This is the worst ______ ever" joke, which is apparently a Charlie Brown reference

Then we have a small but I think significant and interesting change: in the scene where Jackie approaches Hyde later in the Hub, she originally called him Hyde but in the episode that aired called him Steven. 👀

There's some stage direction that is cut from the episode at the end of that scene. Notice the interaction Hyde and Timmy were supposed to have. Hyde was supposed to bully him, essentially, and steal his food.

So - Timmy had a larger role in the overall episode before certain parts were cut. That's important later...

Eric and Donna's dialogue in their final scene on the driveway is slightly different at the end. Eric insists that he "loves the nudity" and Donna calls him "Prudalicious" 😂🤣

In the next scene, there's a very interesting line change for Jackie.

In the original script she says she got the bag of pot by stealing it from her dad's stash. In the episode that ultimately aired, she said she bought it from her housekeeper. 👀

Hyde's explanation to the cop is different in the script, too. In the actual episode, all he said was "What are you doing man? The bag is mine. C'mon - cheerleader, dirtbag..." In the script, he still encourages the cop to compare he and Jackie, but uses different reasoning.

And after the cop walks Hyde away, Jackie has this cut line 🥺. It was supposed to be a fairly emotional moment.

And then we have this cut line from Laurie in the final moment, when Hyde calls Red from jail.

Finally - remember their classmate, Timmy? His participation in the final "booty shake" circle during the credits makes more sense with the full context of the original episode. He played a bigger role initially, and had more substantive interactions with both Donna and Hyde. (This might seem obvious, but I remember arguing quite a bit with the friend I originally watched That '70s Show with when we first saw this episode! We couldn't agree about who the extra butt was. 😂 Mystery solved. It's definitely Timmy.)

That's a wrap on S2xE26! Thanks for reading with me, your host, @thatseventiesbitch and stay tuned for more 😘
