70s Show changed my life forever That 70s Show was a groovy sitcom that transported us back to a decade of bellbottoms questionable fashion choices and decisions by teenage characters but behind the laugh track and nostalgic Haze some Secrets lurked waiting to be revealed get ready because today we are
Diving into the flip side of Point Place and uncovering the dark truths that cast a shadow on that 7s show from behind the scenes controversies to surprising cast stories these are shocking things that they didn’t want you to know about That 70s Show milakunis lied about her
Age milakunis landed the role of Jackie Burkhart on That 70s Show when she was only 14 years old that’s pretty surprising since most teenagers on television are played by older actors but Mila managed to pull it off even though she kept a big secret from the producers instead of telling them her
True age Mila gave the impression that she was already 18 she didn’t lie straight out but she might have hinted that she’d be turning 18 soon without saying exactly when this worked until it came time for official paperwork then everything had to be out in the open it
Turns out Mila wasn’t just playing a teenager she was actually living through it her co-star Ashton Kutcher who later became her husband even revealed that their character’s first kiss on the show was Mila’s first kiss ever in real life so Not only was she acting perfectly but
She was also bringing a genuine teenage experience to the role it’s definitely unusual for such a young actress to land a major TV role especially without being completely honest about her age but Mila’s talent and determination must have shown through and it all worked out in the end she ended up playing Jackie
Burkhart for eight seasons becoming a beloved character and launching her success uccessful acting career so even though things started with a little secret it’s a story with a happy ending Tommy Chong went to prison in that’ 7s show everyone loved the laid-back hippie dude Leo played by the
Hilarious Tommy Chong Leo ran the photo Hut where the main characters often hung out but after the fourth season something strange happened Leo simply vanished the truth behind his disappearance was wasn’t a dramatic fight with the showrunners or a sudden career change instead Tommy Chong’s real
Life took a surprising turn back in 2003 his company Chong glass Nice Dreams got caught up in some legal trouble it wasn’t anything about smoking pot itself even though it was illegal back then and still is on a federal level you see companies called head shops were selling
Things like glass pipes and bongs everywhere all perfectly legal but Tommy’s company ran into trouble because they weren’t just selling locally they were sending their glasswar across state lines through the internet this wasn’t allowed and Tommy ended up facing charges for selling drug paraphernalia he admitted to what he did and took
Responsibility but that meant paying a $20,000 fine and ending up in jail for 9 months it wasn’t easy but when he finally got out he knew he had to come back to that 7s show the fans missed Leo and the show wouldn’t be the same without him so he rejoined the cast for
Season 7 and stayed on until the very end so the next time you watch That 70s Show and see Leo chilling at the photo Hut remember the real life Adventure that happened behind the scenes it may not have been what he planned but Tommy Chong turned a tough situation into a
Triumphant return proving that even when life throws you curveballs you can always find your way back to the things that matter most the show had a different name before that’ 7s show became a cult classic and launched the careers of stars like toe for grace and milakunis
It went through a bit of an identity crisis you see the show didn’t always have its iconic name the series set between 1976 and 1980 naturally featured popular music from Iconic bands such as the who the Rolling Stones and queen episode titles often Drew inspiration from songs of that era with the series
Theme performed by Cheap Trick interestingly the show initially explored the concept of using hit songs as titles including options like Teenage Wasteland the kids are all right feeling all right and reeling in the Years however due to song writs held by the original artists none of these options
Could be used Fox faced challenges securing rights for the song based titles considering the risks involved and the necessity of an established series series the creators feared that tying a well-known song to a potentially short-lived show could be problematic moreover they believed using such titles might make the series less memorable for
Younger audiences unfamiliar with the music of that particular decade despite the roadblocks production continued without an official title while episodes were filmed in front of a live audience the audience didn’t seem to mind in fact they started calling it the show about the’ 70s and that is how that 7s show
Got its name it was simple memorable and perfectly described The Groovy World it brought to life so next time you hear that iconic Cheap Trick theme song remember that’ 7s show had a totally different name but sometimes the best things come from the simplest beginnings and that’s definitely true for the show
That gave us laughter love and a whole lot of bell bottoms Deborah Joe rup didn’t realize show was set in the 1970s it’s it’s funny how sometimes things can go right over your head even when they are staring you in the face you would think the title the clothes
And the Disco Balls would have been a dead giveaway but believe it or not even one of the stars of That 70s Show didn’t realize it was said in the 1970s when she first got cast Deborah Joe rup the woman who brought the iconic Kitty Foreman to life revealed in a video that
It wasn’t until they started filming the pilot episode that she finally caught on to the whole 70s thing apparently amidst the excitement of Landing the rooll and getting ready for the big day the Retro Vibes just didn’t click now kurtwood ever the quick wit jokingly tried to
Remind her that the title should have been a clue but guess what the show wasn’t even called that 7s show yet at that point it was just another script with a bunch of lines and a dream of making people laugh so when Deborah finally stepped onto the set and saw
Those old fashioned appliances and funky wallpaper it was like a light bulb went off it’s a funny story and it just goes to show that sometimes even the most obvious things can slip past us but hey at least she caught on eventually and the world got to enjoy the hilarious
