Set in the era of Led Zeppelin 8-tracks, Tab colas and Farrah Fawcett posters, THAT '70s SHOW begins its fifth season as it continues to flash back to the "Me Decade." The nostalgic series, which recently celebrated its milestone 100th episode and will debut in syndication this fall, comes from celebrated producers Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach ("Roseanne," "The Cosby Show") and wildly inventive creators Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner ("3rd Rock from the Sun," "Wayne's World," "Tommy Boy," "The Brady Bunch Movie"), with fellow "3rd Rock" producer Mark Brazill.

Too cool for the Wisconsin suburbs where he lives under the authority of his parents -- RED (Kurtwood Smith) and KITTY (Debra Jo Rupp) -- 18-year-old ERIC FORMAN (Topher Grace) yearns for his independence. But rites of passage aren't all that easy at a time when jumpsuits and platforms are the epitome of cool. Just ask Eric's ex-girlfriend and next door neighbor, DONNA (Laura Prepon), a knock-out who's been forced to deal with her parents' recent split and her dad BOB's (Don Stark) new life as a swinging single.

Eric gets by with a little help from his friends, who spend most of their time hanging out in the Forman basement and pondering their lives, their parents and their future. The gang includes KELSO (Ashton Kutcher), a good-looking but gullible guy, especially when it comes to dealing with his controlling on-again, off-again girlfriend JACKIE (Mila Kunis); HYDE (Danny Masterson), a conspiracy theorist who thinks Xerox will take over the world; and FEZ (Wilmer Valderrama), a foreign exchange student who's soaking up American culture like a sponge.

This season finds the gang maturing during their senior year of high school as they prepare to graduate and head off to college. Eric and Donna are back together again, while Jackie and Kelso have finally split up for good. Kelso meets a new California girl, played by guest star and pop singer Jessica Simpson, while Jackie finds comfort in the arms of Hyde, much to the gang's dismay. Fez even finds true love when he shifts into high gear and falls for an older woman who works at the DMV.

The fifth season of THAT '70s SHOW also will continue to feature the signature elements that made the series a hit, including the surreal dream sequences, the 360-degree basement scenes and the classic '70s score. The retro-series has also featured numerous '70s icons since its premiere, including Gloria Gaynor, Paul Anka, Lyle Waggoner, Shirley Jones, Danny Bonaduce, Charo, Alice Cooper, Marion Ross, Eve Plumb, Ted Nugent, Howard Hesseman, Valerie Harper, Bob Eubanks, Roger Daltrey and Robert Hays. Additionally, Luke Wilson starred in a multiple-episode story arc, and The Rock, Melissa Joan Hart and Erika Christensen have also made guest appearances.

THAT '70s SHOW is a Carsey-Werner-Mandabach production. Bonnie Turner, Terry Turner and Mark Brazill are creators/executive producers and Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner, Caryn Mandabach, Jeff Filgo and Jackie Filgo are executive producers.
