Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
In 170 minutes, this NBC-produced miniseries hoped to capture a decade--and in many ways, it did. The '70s traces the lives of four friends from their senior year at Kent State (marked by the killing of four student protestors by the National Guard) through the era of Watergate and Tang. At its worst, it's a so-so soap opera held together by fascinating bits of historical trivia, giving equal time to the issues of the era (the Equal Rights Amendment, the oil crisis) and inescapable bits of pop culture (Mary Tyler Moore and the hustle). The characters are pretty obviously engineered to plumb every angle of the decade's cultural topography: the young black National Guardmember who deserts to Los Angeles in time to join the Black Panthers and open a cinema featuring hits like Shaft and Cleopatra Jones, the sorority girl turned disco queen turned California cultist, the young intellectual woman who finds feminism and abandons marriage in favor of a career, and the conservative law student turned Watergate burglar turned pipeline worker turned environmentalist. The acting's not bad and the story hangs together, but the show is really at its best when the soundtrack takes over, allowing montages of memorable photos and archival film clips to reveal (and revel in) the real history behind the melodrama. --Grant Balfour

A serious season of That '70s Show? Perhaps that's a stretch in terms of describing the sixth season of the well-loved teen comedy series, but more than a few moments of gravitas slipped into the slapstick adventures of Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and his pals during its 2003-2004 network run. That's not to say that laughs weren't the order of the day; on the contrary, there are plenty of funny episodes throughout season six, thanks mainly to Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), who finds himself a new dad via new girl Brooke (guest star Shannon Elizabeth) and a police cadet (Jim Gaffigan appears as a fellow officer); and Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), who marries Eric's sister Laurie (played this season by Christine Moore) to avoid deportation. But there's the issue of Red's (Kurtwood Smith) overtaxed heart, and wife Kitty's (the always spot-on Debra Jo Rupp) feelings of neglect; Hyde (Danny Masterson) and the true identity of his father; and biggest of all, the romance of series sweethearts Eric and Donna (Laura Prepon), who decide to take their relationship to the next level by getting engaged. Season six is an enjoyable blend of low-key drama and broad laughs, well played by its likable cast; guest stars this season include Brooke Shields, Seth Green, Rachel Bilson, and Alyson Hannigan, and Luke Wilson and Tanya Roberts make return engagements as Kelso's brother Casey and Donna's mom Midge, respectively.

Extras include two "'70s Flashback" interviews with Smith and Rupp, who reflect on their tenures on the show; "Six Minutes of Season Six" edits the entire episode run down to digest form, and director David Trainer provides commentary on two episodes. -- Paul Gaita

Bad choice on packaging/Defective disc.......2007-06-18

I now need to exchange my season 6 again with a defective disc 4. Same defective disc and same spot on disc.I reccomend everyone watch any box set they purchase in it's entireity to make sure you do not get stuck with an defective disc. This makes 3 times I have had to exchange a box set in 2 weeks!!!!Why change packaging half way through a series? The problem is they hire people who have no passion for movies or shows. Look at how they changed the packaging on the simpsons. The worst!!!!!!!!

Another great season finally available.......2007-06-13

This is one of the best seasons of That 70's Show, it is aleast in the top 5. I just wish it didn't take so long for them to come out with the DVD's. This season is more focused on the gang after high school and some of the episodes with Hyde, Eric, and Kelso working at the hotel resturant are hiliarious. And the ones with Shannon Elizabeth aren't bad either. I cannot wait for Season 7 to be released, but I would absolutely recommend Season 6 for anyone who loves the show or even for the casual watcher.

Still a great show!.......2007-06-09

Although this season is not as good as previous ones, it's still worth the buy...it's a shame this cast is not still together as they play so well off each other!

BEST SEASON YET.......2007-06-08

This show just keep's on getting funnier and funnier with every passing season. I can't wait until season 7 & 8 get released on dvd. That '70s Show has to be the funniest show I have ever seen. Absolutely Brilliant.

After the somewhat dramatic conclusion of That '70s Show's fourth season, which saw Donna (Laura Prepon) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) head to California, the fifth season (2002-2003) opens on a cheerier note, with Donna and Eric (Topher Grace) reuniting after the latter also travels West to declare his affections. Their dramatic progress of their relationship forms the crux of season 5, but if that sounds too heavy for you, don't worry--there are plenty of wacky situations on hand involving Fez (Wilmer Valderamma), Hyde (Danny Masterson), and the rest of the retro gang. The Eric/Donna story arc moves quickly from a promise ring ("Ramble On") to an unplanned engagement ("Hot Dog") and the discovery of said union by Eric's parents, Red (the always-terrific Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp, who is consistently excellent), which results in considerable rancor in the Foreman household. Eventually, marriage appears to be the destination for Eric and Donna, but first, there's graduation to deal with ("Celebration Day"), not to mention Hyde's blossoming affection for Jackie (Mila Kunis), an apparent pregnancy for Kitty (the two-parter "What Is and What Never Should Be" and "Heartbreaker"), and Fez's romance with DMV employee Nina, which goes tragically awry (and lead to a major season-ending disaster for him). Guest stars this season include Jessica Simpson in a recurring role as Kelso's California girlfriend, Annette, as well as Fred Willard, Tom Poston and Betty White as Kitty's parents, and Bobcat Goldthwait. In short, season 5 is standard issue for That '70s Show, a charming mix of broad comedy and teen-friendly drama that's well played by its very likable cast.

The four-DVD set includes some surprisingly light extras: short reminiscences from Valderamma and Masterson, network promos for each episode (which are not accessible via the "Play All" feature), and "Season Five in Five Minutes," which distills the 25 episodes to a five-minute capsule. What's sorely missed are the commentary tracks that appeared on previous boxed sets, and serious '70s fans may note the absence of "That '70s KISS Show," a joint effort between Fox and VH-1 which brought the venerable glam rock band and the show's cast together (along with Cher and Danny Bonaduce!). But it's hard to imagine these omissions deterring longtime viewers from picking up this still-groovy set. --Paul Gaita

Description

Flash on back to the swinging '70s where there's a whole lotta love going around in the gang's senior year. Jackie is secretly making out with Hyde even though she still has the hots for Kelso. But Eric and Donna soon have a bigger secret after Eric gives her a diamond ring. Even Fez finally finds love at the DMV. But it's the job fair that has everyone thinking of life after high school. Kelso toys with the idea of becoming a cop, while Donna and Eric plan on moving in together. But it's Fez's future that may be the most uncertain after he learns he's being deported!

Season five is good. I am a big fan of the show and own all of the seasons and watch ALL of them over and over. It's my bed time ritural to watch at least an episode or two or the whole dvd. I love this series,so if you are a fan like I am fan than you will enjoy Season 5!

This season is of course great! Season 4 totally leaves you hanging so it was nice to get this. Of course this season leaves you hanging too! Ah! lol Can't wait for season 6!

Watch and enjoy.......2007-03-17

The season of Eric and Red. I have watched this series from the start and can say that I think this season has some of the best lines/ interaction between Eric and Red. You also have Kitty's "lady parts problem" and Shotsy the dog, Hyde vs. Kelso over Jackie, and the brief but memorable relationship between Fez and Nina. As for the DVD's, there is not much in the way of extras, but if you enjoy the show this is something to get.

70's show ROCKS!!.......2007-03-08

Long before Ashton met Demi or Topher got lost in Traffic, the makers of Third Rock from the Sun stepped into the Wayback Machine and emerged with That '70s Show. It would go on to become the Fox Network's most successful sitcom since Married... with Children. Set in the Wisconsin suburbs of 1976, the action centers around 17-year-old Eric Forman (Topher Grace), his friends, and his family. He's an ordinary teenager, much like the slackers of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused, with an interest in girls, cars, beer, and rock & roll (but not necessarily in that order).

Eric's friends include hipster Hyde (Danny Masterson), exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), and dim-bulb Kelso (Ashton Kutcher). Donna (Lora Prepon), Eric's neighbor, is also a friend, but she'll soon become something more, while Kelso already has a girlfriend, the bossy Jackie (Mila Kunis)--and a crush on Eric's sister Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly). Kelso and Jackie will spend a good part of the first year breaking up just to make up, while Hyde pines for Donna and Fez for Jackie. Eric's family also includes father Red (Kurtwood Smith) and mother Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp). Donna's includes mother Midge (former Bond girl Tanya Roberts) and perm-sporting father Bob (Don Stark).

The first season boasts a period-perfect bevy of guest stars, including Danny Bonaduce ("Eric's Burger Job"), Eve Plumb ("The Keg"), and Marion Ross as Eric's grandmother ("Sunday, Bloody Sunday" and other episodes). That said, if That '70s Show were just a nostalgia trip, it wouldn't have lasted for over seven seasons. Alas, lightning wouldn't strike twice. When the same producers followed-up with That '80s Show a few years later, it would soon disappear without a trace. Accept no substitutes: That '70s Show is the real deal--a retro-comedy, like Happy Days, with heart. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Small town fun, small town troubles........2007-02-10

As a guy that graduated at seventeen in 1976 in a small town, I could so relate to very much of this very funny series. I didn't know anyone who was as promiscuous as the characters, or crazy enough to do things in their parent's houses while their parents were upstairs, but maybe that is because there aren't any basements where I come from. There were however lots and lots of parties.

The characters to me are amalgamations of people I knew. Almost every situation the group gets into, someone I knew managed to get into also.

So why is that so funny? Because it's good to look back at your own stupidity through the veil of years, enough time for it to be just funny and no longer painful.

Why does this show work for so many seasons? The cast has said it is because there is only one director for the whole series, making for consistent portrayal and story lines. The characters literally grow up on the show, though of course the weakness of any show about teens is that they try to have young looking adults play teens, it goes kind of sour by the end if you take things too serious.

So is a perfect show? Well not quite, the laugh track is annoying; the story is awkward the first season as the characters are being developed, like in "Happy Days" one sibling disappears after only one episode, in one season, (Like in "Rose Ann") a major character changes actresses, and changes back the next season, and by the last season the performances become stilted as the adult actors are getting too old to play the characters. Do any of those things keep my wife and me from watching the shows over and over? No they don't. We love this show and laugh every time.

great show for all ages.......2006-10-23

Hello Wisconscin.......2006-08-13

I'm a pretty big fan of "That '70s Show". It's got some unique ideas, wacky humour, warmth and a great commeraderie between the cast. You can tell both the actors and the characters they play are friends. Though I didn't grow up during the decade, I like all things 1970s and enjoy seeing all the cultural references too.

The show, basically, is all about a group of teenagers living the 1970s in the fictional suburb of Point Place, Wisconcin. There's Foreman, the awkward and most mild mannered one, Donna, his pretty tomboy neighbour, Hyde, the rebellious one immersed in the counter culture of the time, Kelso, the handsome yet airheaded guy and his bossy girlfriend Jackie. There's also Fez, the misunderstood foreign exchange student. Together, they try and keep themselves amused. They hang around in Foreman's basement, they go out in Foreman's Vista Cruiser. They take a lot of advantage of Foreman, actually.

The first series is 25 episodes long, and is presented in this DVD set over four discs. It establishes the style and characters of the series, really well, I thought. Episodes within the series that are worth a mention include "That '70s Pilot", where Foreman first gets his beloved car, and the budding and breaking relationships are introduced, "Streaking", where the guys decide to streak at the Point Place stop of Gerry Ford's campaign trail, "A New Hope" where the gang all get to see Star Wars, which they start applying metaphorically to their life, "Punk Chick" where Hyde falls for a punk girl, "Hyde Moves In" where Hyde's mother runs off and he finds himself living a Foreman's house. A rather major plot point for the series, actually, as it changes the setup for the show a little.

All the episodes are great, though. It's fun, it's colourful, it's quotable, and it's interesting to watch the characters and relationships develop.

Special features include a featurette about the first series with interviews with the cast, a trivia feature, and a montage of TV spots.

For fans of comedy and of the 1970s, this is definitely worth a look. Recommended.

As That '70s Show's second season begins, Eric's buddy Hyde (Danny Masterson) and college dropout-sister Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly) are still living with the Formans, but a few things have changed. Red (Kurtwood Smith) is about to lose his job, due to layoffs at the plant, and both the opening sequence and theme, "That '70s Song" (Cheap Trick's version of Big Star's "In the Street"), have been revamped. Otherwise, all the first season characters and their favorite hangouts, like Eric's basement and Vista Cruiser, are back. Granted, Red accidentally sells the car during season opener "Garage Sale," but it isn't gone for long (blame Hyde's "special" brownies).

As usual, the 1999-2000 season--1977-1978 in the show's chronology--was graced by a number of 1970s vets. "Red's Last Day" has singer Paul Anka and Lyle Waggoner (Wonder Woman), "Halloween" has Marion Ross (Happy Days)," "The First Time" has Maud Adams (The Man With the Golden Gun), and "Holy Crap" has singer/actor Mac Davis (North Dallas Forty). Then there's Tommy Chong (Up in Smoke), who became a frequent guest, as Fotohut owner Leo, in five of the 26 episodes and would return for several more seasons. Yet another notable episode, "Afterglow," features a Scooby-Doo-styled animated sequence.

By the end of the year, Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) will have taken their relationship to the next level, Jackie (Mila Kunis) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) will have broken up, and Red will have gotten a job at the Pricemart--where he supervises Eric. The second season will end with a cliffhanger ("Moon Over Point Place") when Hyde is arrested (for something he didn't actually do). The "sticky" situation will be resolved in the first episode of season three ("Reefer Madness"). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Awesome show.......2007-01-04

The show starts in 1976. I 'came of age' a few years before that, but it was still the 1970s, and I can say this show is quite realistic. The censors let some things that were very commonplace at that time make it to the air, which is pretty unusual in this PC era. I don't like canned laughter, so I appreciate the fact that it was taped before a live audience. The only season I don't particularly care for is the last one. No Topher Grace, no Ashton Kutcher (not on a regular basis, anyway), Donna had gone blonde (what??) and there was that new guy.. can't remember his name. The show was pretty much finished by then, which is unfortunate, but nothing this good could last forever. In the last season, the only characters who still had good lines were Kitty and Red, and those seemed strained at times. All in all, a wonderfully entertaining sitcom, and while I'm sorry to see it go, I'm glad it's available on DVD.

That '70s Show reached its 100th episode during its fourth season in 2001-2002, which ensured that viewers will be enjoying the antics of Eric and the gang in reruns for years to come. The dominating plotline for season 4 is the aftermath of Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna's (Laura Prepon) dissolved relationship, which is handled in typically amusing fashion in the first three episodes, especially the season premiere, "It's a Wonderful Life," which borrows the plot of the classic Christmas film to show a depressed Eric how his life would have turned out had he never pursued Donna. Elsewhere, Donna's dad Bob (Don Stark) must adjust to a newly single life; Leo (Tommy Chong) falls for Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) after an accident; Fez dates Big Rhonda (Cynthia Lamontagne); Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) and Jackie (Mila Kunis) continue to torment each other in their on-again, off-again romance; and Donna begins dating Kelso's older brother Casey (guest star Luke Wilson), which generates considerable drama amongst all the characters. In short, it's the usual laughs and love drama in Point Place, Wisconsin, delivered in the show's usual broad comic strokes, and with enthusiasm by the seasoned cast. The set's rather tepid supplemental features include dry commentary by director David Trainer on three episodes ("Eric's Depression," "Class Picture," and "Hyde's Birthday"); Trainer is also featured in a seven-minute featurette about his direction. "A '70s Flashback" has castmates Prepon and Kunis reflecting on the show with assistance from plenty of clips, and "Season 4 in 4 Minutes" is exactly as it sounds--the entire 27 episodes boiled down to the essential storylines. Fans may be somewhat disappointed to learn that the episode titled "That '70s Special" is not included on this set. --Paul Gaita

Description

For Eric, Kelso, Jackie, Hyde, Donna and Fez, a group of high school teens who spend most of their time hanging out in Eric's basement, life in the '70s isn't always so groovy. But between trying to figure out the meaning of life, avoiding their parents, and dealing with out-of-control hormones, they've learned one thing for sure: they'll always get by with a little help from their friends.

Keep reeling in the years with the third season of Fox's popular and long-running teen comedy That '70s Show. As usual, this season's adventures for Eric Foreman (Topher Grace) and his friends in the wilds of suburban Wisconsin circa the mid-'70s are broadly humorous (often to the point of slapstick), but the performances are genuinely warm and honest, especially between Eric and girlfriend Donna (Laura Prepon), and Eric and his parents (the wry Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp). Episodes in season 3 center around the complicated relationships within Eric's gang--Eric and Donna attempt to resist the urge to take their romance to a physical level, while Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), Jackie (Mila Kunis), and Hyde (the show's secret comedy weapon, Danny Masterson) find themselves in an unlikely romantic triangle. Other season highlights include the Halloween Hitchcock tribute "Too Old to Trick or Treat, Too Young to Die"; Fez (Wilmer Valderamma) spoils Kelso's attempts to get back together with Jackie ("Ice Shack"); and Fez's disastrous relationship with the possibly deranged Caroline (a multi-episode arc starting with "Fez Gets the Girl"). The Season 3 set offers all 25 episodes on a four-disc set, and features a wealth of fun extras that should make it a must-have for series fans. Commentary by director David Trainer is featured on six episodes (writer Patrick Kienlen joins him for three), and several cast members provide introductions to each episode (though oddly, not Grace and Prepon). --Paul Gaita

Description

Get on down to the basement for a rockin' flashback to the swinging '70s.

As the partying begins, Red decides he's been too lenient, so he sets up a few new house rules. This not only makes the kids miserable, but makes Kitty feel like she's been a bad mother. Hyde feels even worse after he finds his long-lost father tending bar at a local dive. Meanwhile, as Donna and Eric continue dating, Jackie begins pursuing Hyde, which upsets Kelso even though he's dating Laurie. And Fez finally gets a girlfriend—only to discover (too late) that she's certifiably psycho!

Anyone who is reading this review and has futilely tried to explain to skeptical friends why you watch this series knows what I mean by my review title.

I used to be one of those people. I'd see the promos and say to myself "That show must be crap! How can anyone watch that dreck?" Then, one day in 2003, I actually sat down and watched a few episodes on FX and found myself amused. So I watched more. Before long I was a regular viewer. I can definitely understand why some people hate this show, I don't attempt to objectively claim it is good, but personally I enjoy it.

"That 70s Show" is about a group of teenage friends growing up in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin, from 1976-1979. There is Eric Forman, the most responsible of the group, uncomfortably poised between being a self-assured young man and a total geek. Stephen Hyde is the cynical, anti-establishment burnout who comes from a bad home life who sees a prison term in his future. He lives with Eric's family. Donna Pinciotti is the tall redhead who lives next door to Eric and quickly becomes his girlfriend. She is also one of the more responsible ones of the group. Jackie Burkhart is the shallow, vain princess. Fez is the overly horny foreign exchange student with a shaky grasp of American culture and human nature in general. Michael Kelso is the impossibly stupid, irresponsible, and horny pretty boy of the group. The kids hang out in the Eric's basement. Eric's no-nonsense tough guy father Red, nervous mother Kitty, and wrathful, slutty sister Laurie are all featured prominently.

The casting and acting is good, as all of them are very believable in their roles, especially Topher Grace as Eric, Laura Prepon as Donna, and Ashton Kutcher as Kelso.

Secondary characters include hippie burnout Leo (Tommy Chong), Donna's parents (Don Stark and Tanya Roberts), and Pastor Dave (Kevin McDonald), among others.

Season 3 is where "That 70s Show" really gets going for me. The first season was good in spots but very uneven, and Season 2 improved a lot, but Season 3 is where the show really comes into its own. In the earlier season they try and bludgeon you with the fact it was the 70s, and it all seemed unnecessary (the bumpers of singing posters, cumbersome references, etc.).

However by Season 3 a lot of that is gone and the humor really picks up. The characters I find the funniest are Eric and Kelso, and this season has some my favorite moments. It's also the season I started with. Here are some of the more notable episodes:

"Reefer Madness" - Red cracks down when Hyde is arrested for possession of marijuana. It features a *hilarious* parody of the 1936 anti-marijuana film "Reefer Madness."

"Too Old to Trick or Treat, Too Young to Die" - An interesting parody of Hitchcock films.

"Roller Disco" - Kelso gets jealous when Jackie and Fez enter a roller disco competition, while Red gets sued for wrongful termination by an employee he fired. This episode has one of my favorite Kelso lines: "Hey, the next contestants are cheaters! The brown guy's a robot!"

"Eric's Panties" - Probably near unanimously a Top 10 "That 70s Show" episode. Eric has a sexy lab partner and Donna gets angry when she finds panties in Eric's car. Highlights of this episode are Donna's now-famous fantasy sequence, Kelso and Fez reacting to finding out who the panties belong to, and the part that always cracks me up: Kelso's panty detective work (the way he delivers his lines in this part is great) and Hyde's subsequent comment.

"Ice Shack" - Kelso's plan to win Jackie back by taking her on a double date with Donna and Eric to an ice fishing shack goes awry, while Hyde and Leo have trouble with the police.

"Who Wants It More" - Eric and Donna wage war against one another by "holding out;" Kelso thinks he sees a U.F.O.; Red reassesses his life when he's nearly killed by a tree.

"Fez Gets the Girl" - The group fight over who gets Donna's extra Led Zeppelin ticket; Eric lets his Employee of the Month award go to his head.

"Dine and Dash" - Another Top 10 episode, and a legitimate candidate for best "That 70s Show" episode overall. So many great moments I can't begin to point them out, but one of my favorites is Eric's reaction to Donna having to go to the bathroom.

"The Trials of M. Kelso" - Jackie puts Kelso through tests to see if he's worthy of her taking him back.

"Eric's Naughty No-No" - Donna is outraged when Eric tries a move he saw in a pornographic movie on her to spice up their love life, while Kelso goes overboard in devoting himself to honesty.

"Holy Craps" - The gang helps Kitty at a church fundraiser, with genuinely hilarious results.

"Eric's Drunken Tattoo" - In order to convince Donna he's sexy and dangerous, he gets a tattoo.

"Canadian Road Trip" - Off to buy beer in Canada, the gang has a run-in with the Mounties.

"The Promise Ring" - Eric and Donna run into serious trouble, but the gang (especially Kelso and his priceless reactions) keep the laughs coming.

All in all, I don't know if I'd recommend "That 70s Show" to anyone, since you have to not take your TV too seriously to enjoy it, but if you're at all interested I'd advise watching some of these episodes on FX before renting or purchasing the DVD. Personally, I think this is a good season of very funny TV.

The First and Last Rock and Roller.......2007-06-27

While the performances are few, the 1964 London Granada set captured here are easily worth the price of the DVD. Jerry shows there that he really was at the heart of R&R in a way that Presley never approached.

Essential.......2007-06-13

Ok this is a great DVD with some great performances and a interview from Jerry Lee in 1993 at Sun records.Plenty of highlights best for me is Lewis boogie in the section with Jerry Lee's cousin Mickey Gilley who was a country superstar at the time.It is interesting to see the different years including the first Steve Allen performance of Whole lotta shakin'.The quality is as good as you can get from I guess the sources they used with some Jerry Lee fan's on forums saying they could have used the master of the 1964 Granada show.If you want to see a discussion on that there is one on the new Jerry Lee Lewis forum.I can't put a link here but if you go to Wikipedia Jerry Lee Lewis page there is a link there.You can see some screenshots of this DVD taken from my pc on that forum.I would have given this 5 out of 5 but although it is interesting to see the Duey Phillips show it is lip synched (one of the few times JLL has done that) so I would have preferred to see another late sixties performance instead.I would recommend this DVD as it is great to see one of the greatest performers in action especially if you have not been able to see his first performance on tv or just like to see the Killer at work!

THE MEMPHIS SKYROCKET IN HIS PRIME.......2007-06-08

Great overview of thirty years of Jerry Lee Lewis' career. Of all the ten rock 'n' roll pioneers, only Chuck Berry and Lewis kept the fire going. This DVD is divided into three decades. We get Jerry on the Steve Allen Show tearing up "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," but the follow up of "Great Balls of Fire" on the Steve Allen Show isn't here. The next two cuts, "You Win Again" and "Great Balls of Fire" are not live, but lip-synched on the great Dewey Phillips Pop Show TV Show. Any glimpse of Dewey Phillips is worth the trip. Before Imus, before Wolfman Jack, there was Dewey Phillips playing black artists in the early fifties in the segregated deep south.

The final cut from the 1950's is from Dick Clark's first Saturday night Bandstand Show. Jerry Lee cuts through "Breathless." The teenyboppers in the audience are more focused in trying to clap in time. It's quite a struggle for them, poor dears.

The 1960's segment is live and primitive. Jerry Lee back in England a few years after he was booted out. He is more gutsy and gritty and frenetic on this Granada Concert Special than at any other time in his career. The crowd is really into it, to the point of grabbing Jerry Lee and holding on while Jerry Lee Lewis is wailing and tearing up the piano. Some music critics believe that Jerry Lee Lewis' frantic, inciting performances in England and Germany in the early 1960's were the genesis of Punk Music. Let's face it, no one was performing with equal fervor at the time. Elvis had been neutralized, Chuck Berry was doing time, and Little Richard couldn't decide if he was gay or straight, or whether he should continue the evil path of the Devil's music or become a minister. Eventually, Little Richard became a panelist on Hollywood Squares. So, Jerry Lee Lewis was the only rock 'n'roll pioneer who lived what he believed, and paid the heavy price. In case you've forgotten why preachers preached against his music, why radio stations literally banned his records, and why Dick Clark went into hiding when the road got rough, watch the 1960's segment of this DVD. Clear evidence that Jerry Lee Lewis has the devil in him and he has to come out.

The 1970's finds Jerry Lee more sedate, singing his substantial country hits live on Ralph Emery's Pop Goes The Country. There is even a duet with his double first cousin, Mickey Gilley, who Jerry leaves in the musical dust.

As a bonus, there is a chopped up interview from 1993. Time-Life should have just kept the interview intact. But since it is a "bonus," no points lost, but Colin Escott usually has higher standards.

If Ken Burns ever wakes up and does a series on the History of Rock 'n' Roll, he would have to use much of what is on this DVD. But you don't have to wait for Ken Burns to wake up. You can see it now!

A fun romp through the explicitly sexual world of New York's Christopher St. during the gay rights era, director Joseph Lovett's documentary, Gay Sex in the '70s, consists of still photos of old haunts interspersed with interviews with the men who inhabited them, such as Roger McFarlane, Barton Benes, Tom Bianchi, Alvin Batrop, and Arnie Kantrowitz. Covering June 1969 to June 1981, Gay Sex in the '70s traces the history of pre-AIDS public sex through Stonewall, to the rise of gay culture as we know it today. Incorporating politics with debauched anecdotes of men cruising the piers, fornicating in the backs of trucks, and attending discos, bathhouses, and S&M clubs, the film is entertaining and educational. Some footage of legendary dance clubs, such as Les Mouches, Flamingo, Paradise Garage, and Studio 54, make this a good movie to watch even for straight disco aficionados. In fact, this film could have benefited from more historical live footage, as it relies too heavily on its interviewees. As a result, Gay Sex in the '70s at times suffers from sentimentality. But its friendly exploration into what one man called "the golden age of brotherhood and liberty" leaves a comforting feeling, as if listening to reminiscences from granddad. --Trinie Dalton

Description

The end of an era. The beginning of a movement. Hailed by critics and audiences alike, GAY SEX IN THE 70s director Joseph Lovett focuses his story on New York City between 1969 and 1981, using remarkable present-day interviews and stunning archival footage to take viewers back to days just after Stonewall. Lovett takes us back to the piers, the trucks, the Central Park rambles, the back rooms, and the baths. It was a time where repression and fear were replaced by a sexual explosion, where shame became joy. In recreating the gay story of the 70s, Lovett shows that AIDS was not the only legacy of this period.

interesting but limited.......2007-06-08

*Gay Sex in the 70s* was an interesting documentary of sex among the gays from the Stonewall Riot (1969) to the emergence of AIDS (1980), or rather what they had initially coined it as the gay cancer. However, this is gay sex in New York City. I was somewhat disappointed of its limited scope. I would've liked to see what gay life/sex was like in San Francisco, Key West and other places. However, NYC did have a lot to offer on the history of gay sex in the 70s: the meat district, Christopher St., the piers, Fire Island, the Pines, Studio 54, bars, baths and other places.

This was like the utopia/apex of gay sex. Men could have it anywhere and anytime, without a care who was looking at them. Despite the celebration of "free love", it wasn't all carefree. Gays still have to be careful where they ventured or else they could end up dead. Plus, there were STD's (then called V.D.) around.

This film would have been more delightful if more people were interviewed rather than just the notables, such as Larry Kramer and Tom Bianchi. I mean, it was great to include them but how about the regular guys?

Nonetheless, this is an important film for anyone queer or anyone studying queer history.

Loved it!.......2007-05-05

As a young gay man this documentary is a very important relic in the gay history archives. As GLBT people in the new millenium we have this generation to thank for our liberation from the proverbial closet. These guys celebrated who they were and never apologized to anyone. They were the first truly liberated generation of gay men. Without them issues such as gay marraige and equality for GLBT's wouldn't even be on most political referendums.

With that said "Gay Sex in the 70's" was an eye opener! These men took free love and pride to it's apex. I often wonder, as someone who has never known a world without HIV/AIDS, would I have reveled in the hedonism and decadence of the 1970's? I won't lie, I would have had it off with a few. However, many of these guys, had they lived now, would be diagnosed as sexual addicts. It seemed like sex was the penultimate reason for existence as a gay man back then. While the celebration of sexual freedom and each other was a beautiful thing the blatant disregard for one's own health and well being was dumbfounding. The subject of "The trucks" disturbed me. They were willing to go anywhere, with anyone, just to have a moment of pleasure.

While gay men involved themselves in every sexual excess you can fathom they were innocent babes in the woods, for the most part. That is what really struck me. Rampant drug use, orgies, and public sex were just the norm in the community, and no one gave it a second thought. The sexual freedom and self love was wonderful, but there was still a degree of self loathing that came with a high price that their's and subsequent generations are paying for. The pendulum definitely shifted and that generation paid dearly for it's excesses.

Overall, I was really impressed by the documentary. My only critiques are as follows...

1.)What were the gay scenes in: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, and various other metropolises like? We only got the view of New York City.

2.)What were gay men of color(black,non black latinoes, and Asians)up to?

To me this film showcased a small microcosm of gay life in those days. Gay Sex in the 70's, I feel, would have been better served had we been made privy to ALL facets of gay life not just the elite white gay activists in NYC. Perhaps this could have been done as a series. In my opinion it was a bit too comprehensive. I wanted to know more. And I particularly wanted to know more about the toll HIV/AIDS took on the community.

However, I am glad this film was made. Inspite of it's shortcomings it was insightful. I recommend it.

As for the person who suggested that AIDS not be cured in order to ensure no more sexual revolutions you are sick. The repulsive puritanical attitude that some people have towards sex and sexuality is mind boggling.

Examines a very small slice of the lifestyle it purports to document.......2007-04-20

The title of this documentary is misleading--it should be called Gay Sex in New York City in the 70's. If it were titled properly, I could give it a higher rating, given that the bulk of the material comes from a half dozen subjects who lived in NYC in the 1970's. The film purports to describes the gay male lifestyle during the pivotal period between the 1969 Stonewall riots and the first reported cases of AIDS in 1981. In truth, it is a self-celebratory trip down nostalgia lane for a group of gay men who were active during that glittery, liberated, and risky time. Their stories are interesting individually, but do not provide enough substance (or alternate viewpoints) for an entire documentary. There is much more to the history of gay males, and to the decade of the seventies, than the slice that this documentary focuses on. Anyone who doesn't have a personal frame of reference for the memories is likely to be bored by the sheer length of the film, despite the fact that there is great source material.

Not for the faint of heart... A beautiful look back at what happened.......2007-04-08

The 70's were an amazing convergence of socialogical factors. Joyful Gay men, for the first time, found they could practice their desires without undo police brutality. The Stonewall Riots had cemented the arrival of Out as a verb. It was literally a time of great happiness and fun.

This document, which includes much archival footage well as current rememberances by folks who were there, gives a guided tour of what could only be called Babylon.

Narrowing its focus to NYC, and The Pines, it gives an up-close and personal look at men who lusted for other men and what a wonderland a world of 'Yes' could create. The tone shifts, because even though the name of the documentary is Gay Sex in the 70's, it takes you through the '80's and the advent of the AIDS pandemic.

It helps explain the mindset of those men trapped in the opening wave of deaths. AIDS had literally infected (and in effect killed) a huge percentage of the gay men in NYC before the first syptom appeared.

It also discusses some of the hollowness of that age; the rampant drug abuse and mind-boggling disregard for personal safety that accompanied so much of 'the love that dare not speak its name' once it was shouting at the top of its lungs. I am actually old enough to have participated in this, and knew many men who did. They are all gone. I am not, primarily because I was hiding from who and what I was.

I literally hid until after AIDS hit, and by then, I was too careful to ever put myself in harms way. This movie tries to help the modern viewer see that these were intelligent, albiet driven, men. They thought, as many folks do today, that medical science would cure whatever ailed them. They were wrong, and those who see AIDS as nothing more than an inconvenience are just as wrong.

Required viewing for all men on 'the down low' or anyone young enough not to recall this time.

Five people in a room talking about sex.......2007-02-16

This documentary celebrates a 12-year period between the Stonewall riots in 1969 and the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in 1981, a decade of gay sexual liberation. Unfortunately, the film is very limited to the New York gay scene, and to the experiences of five or six men who giddily recount their youthful days of irresponsible and hedonistic, drug-fueled lust. After its first 10 minutes of showing these men revel in their experience of finding anonymous sexual partners, and the frequency of these encounters, the documentary quickly grew tiresome and repetitive, and purveyed a somewhat sad and empty soullessness about their experience. At least the film doesn't preach about how more medical research money needs to be dedicated to curing AIDS so that the lifestyle of bathhouse orgies and rampant drug use can be restored for a younger generation of gay men.

Description

Long before Kenny Rogers achieved pop and country superstardom, he was a member of the late-'60s pop group The First Edition, which had five Top 40 hits, including "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" and "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." This success led to the airing of a November 1970 television special, Rollin' On The River, which starred the band. The response was so overwhelming that CBS turned it into a weekly music/variety show.

From 1971 to 1973, Rollin' (as the show was renamed) was a showcase for the hottest musical talent of the time. The best performances from the show are collected for the first time on this disc. Hosted by drummer Mickey Jones (Kenny Rogers and the First Edition), this DVD is a loving tribute to a time when popular music had the ability to cross genres and touch us all. These 14 beautifully restored selections from the Rollin' archives still cast a powerful spell.

1. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
2. Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around With Jim
3. Jim Croce - Operator
4. Bill Withers - Lean On Me

It was great all of the songs are good, we watch the dvd almost every weekend with our friends and family. I bought one for my brother for christmas.

A Nice Collection of Classic Performances.......2005-05-20

As it says on the cover, the selections are from the "Rollin' On The River" TV series, and while the selections are good, I disagree with the statement on the back cover that they are beautifully restored. I think it has the same sound and video quality of the TV show and needs more restoration.

Remember?? .......2004-10-21

This is truly one of the best-value music DVDs available to 70s buffs. Not only is the footage a flashback, needless to say, the history narrations at the end of each song have an almost 70s classroom filmstrip feel to them, with the female narrator asking "remember?" at the end of each entry. You almost expect to hear the beep sound for the next slide! I actually really appreciate that the makers of this DVD played it completely straight with such touches, and resisted the urge to go campy. While the clothes of the era, for one, are now certainly considered campy in themselves, the DVD is more interested in putting us in the time frame which such fads existed. I find that approach not only refreshing, but also beneficial to the overall nostalgia we want out of these things.

In terms of the performances, there are some great ones here. Jim Croce and the Grass Roots are standouts. I was a little disappointed that Ike & Tina Turner, although a visually stunning performance, do a shortened version of "Proud Mary," as opposed to their "Nice & Easy/Rough & Hard" version. Al Green sounds amazing, but is singing to a music track and not a live band. He sounds so good, however, it really doesn't matter. Mark Lindsay & the Raiders appear to be lip-synching "Indian Reservation." I believe their performance is the only one done this way. Again, this is admissable considering the pop status of the song (we're not expecting a improv jam out of this tune are we?). On the other hand, Malo's "Suavecito" delivers more than I thought it would. The whole shebang is worth the price if just to see Kenny Rogers & the First Edition's matching blue & white leisure suits! Their "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" is a mellow masterpiece.

Something I certainly miss from this era is the diversity of the pop music of the time. Southern-fried First Edition clearly has a love for R&B, soul, country & rock, and seem thrilled to have brought it together on a tv show.

Hats Off to Mickey Jones!!.......2004-10-20

What a pleasant surprise it was to view this DVD. Not only are some of the best acts of the early seventies represented on this disc but the sound and quality are excellant. I really enjoyed "First Edition" drummer (& actor) Mickey Jones insightful commentary on each of the artists. He showed what a talented, fun and compationate man he is. For music buffs, his comments and tributes to these great artists were just as good as the music. Just listen to the bonus feature on artists such as Jim Croce and you feel what respect (and for some, a sense of loss) he had for his fellow music entertainers. His "behind the scenes" stories were very enjoyable.

I can only wish that additional footage from this show follows this high quality DVD.

This is Fantastic!.......2004-10-06

I was very impressed with the collection. I have never seen these songs performed by the artists and they are just an excellent selection. The narration is entertaining and the nostalgia value is A+. This is different than most compilation DVDs because the music is put into context with interesting news of the time which makes it an especially entertaining show to watch. This is a great value. I hope they publish future editions.
