S1-S3 of this show is probably my fav show of all time. S4 was weird but i liked S5 a lot as well! It had a lot of great character development and the Jackie/Hyde stuff was great. S6 and 7 had a lot of good stuff but there were definitely some lows like the Wedding arc and the Mitch episodes (couldn't stand him), overall still pretty good imo, but S8? We don't talk about season 8. All the development in the prior seasons was slaughtered. But you're right, these first three seasons had a very peculiar charm. The later stuff wasn't bad imo, was just different. And i understand why they changed things up. The first three reasons and season 5 are definitely the best ones
@@3282ramirez The actors for Eric and Kelso leaving for more money didn't help but they ran out of story by that point. Most sitcoms only target 100 total episodes so they can syndicate (sell the reruns rights to other channels) but 70s show ended up with 200 so they were way past the original script by the end.
That moment is so tense at 4:45 when Eric refuses to let Red fire him. I was honestly surprised that Red did not have more respect for Eric for showing good work ethic.
times like this where you need to think a bit more about what's happening. red was 1000% right, he told Eric not to get a job and to focus on school, and Eric is being defiant thinking he needs a job and later on he managed to prove he wasn't able to handle job and school. when he(and other men as well) are forced to get a job, he never let Eric get a job. he was always a good parent, Eric was never right. he didn't deserve any respect. it's a show, yes but they wrote him off to always be naive and spoiled because he had everything and still managed to always do wrong.
@@817exo Respectfully disagree. From what I remember of this series, Eric was often proven right. True Red told him to focus on school and then find a job far far away, but it turned out that he would need to work experience to find jobs to keep the family afloat when Red himself was out of work. I saw it more as Eric trying to be independent of his parents which makes sense cuz they were both smothering in their own way. Red was the hardass authoritarian who breathed down Eric's neck to keep him on the straight and narrow, Kitty was a smothering mom who wanted to keep her baby boy underfoot at all times. So yeah, Eric started acting out and doing things that from his perspective made him an adult like his parents: drinking, working and sex mainly. It was because of his relationship with Donna that Red fired Eric from his stock-boy job, they wanted to marry but Red didn't approve. From what I remember Red lost his manager job after the heart attack, but wasn't able to get it back after he recuperated. Until then the family was in dire financial straits but Eric stepped up and got a new job to pay the bills to help his folks out. To me that says that while he wasn't making the best decisions at the time, he had the capacity to adapt and rise above the setbacks. I'm sure that his parents were just being protective of him and trying to do right by him, but by taking away his ability to make his own mistakes they were stunting him as a person.
@@aerystargaryenii2565 Bob was right that a business that sold the same products for more can't compete against a business that doesn't. I wonder how many appliance stores Bob put out of business over the years? How many people did without because the couldn't afford Bob's prices?
Jordan Groff it sure was 😂. i also liked when red's mom told kitty he didn't drink until he met her, and kitty snapped back that she hadn't started drinking until she met her.
Couldn't tell if Ted was testing those trying to get the Supervisor position to see if they had genuine integrity and initiative or if he was intimidated by Red's overwhelming Alpha Aura after throwing the Smock back on the table in front him.
I think a mix of both because the supervisor job was also open and still infilled when red went back to demand it. Seems like Ted was company HR type trying to gatekeep the job opp
@@picklejalapeno Red is a supervisor of a competing business so how exactly could he promote Bob's business especially since if sales drop Red would be the first person responsible. Also promoted or not there was zero chance Bob's business was gonna survive, Walmart proved that 100 times over. Super store prices make it impossible to compete unless you offer something they don't and it's lucrative enough to keep cash flow stead. Finally, as a supervisor its not like Red would have the authority to promote an outside business. For all those reasons, Red's hands were tied. Bob should have known Red was gonna take that Job because Red had been searching for full time work for at least a year. His family was struggling and no one was hiring. Red had no choice but to take that job.
I remember reading another comment in those twitter videos about how these wallmarts destroyed our grocery stores and how we're paying the price right now.
Small businesses survive and thrive by being higher quality, even if it is more expensive. Honestly tho, even big businesses have great success against other ones for that same reason.
One on hand yes they do kill small business. But the other is if you don't offer good pricing on shit that doesnt need that mark up you can't be shocked people will buy cheaper.
Bob says "That's lower than my cost." The big box store was selling products for less than what Bob was _paying_ for them. That means that Bob could not compete with them.
Red only got his way and walked out with that supervisor job cause hes old. If anyone under the age of 50 went into the interview and did what red did at the end demanding the supervisor position they'd be laughed at and kicked out of the office
Bob makes a point big stores do kill business but the lower prices are better. The mom and pop shops charge too much. Buying necessities is hard enough as is
It's likely a place to place situation, but when we got a Super Wal Mart, which our county paid for to get them to put one there, they undercutted costs till they got the mom and pop shops around till they went out of business, took out the nearby Sullivan's too, then proceeded to jack the prices up higher then the locations that closed since they monopolized the area. Personal experience though.
@@Mikasota I will never agree on paying a retailer to set up shop. I will never agree with paying for a stadium for a sports team to play in. That's not capitalism, that's crony capitalism. The big guy gets subsidized to compete against the smaller guys.
And it's not l8ke Walmart was the reason those mom and pops stores rose their prices, Sam Walton opened the first walmart based on what he thought was unfair practices by people just deciding on their own store what something should cost.
They can charge less because they can buy more in bulk, thus lowering the over all cost of the items. Additionally, they have more connections with shippers and distributors. Smaller mom and pop shops can't do this as effectively thus the reason they have to charge more for their items.
It’s a curiosity Kurtwood in real life doesn’t have heart problems or does he have blood pressure or heart problems? He was always pissed off over something. I know it’s just acting but it was really good.😂 and he delivered it in the most perfect natural way.
Looking back as an adult, I dont get why Kitty and Red were so aganist Eric getting a job at PriceMart. They werent rich and were risk of losing the house. School isnt 24/7 or 7 days a week, he could work on the weekends. Plus a lot of kids at Eric age have a part time job. The only thing the job may really get in a way is him hanging out with his friends. Plus its better him to get a job than do what Laurie is doing. Hanging around the house, drinking her father beer, and failing out of college.
You also gotta remember this is the 1970s where the dollar went a lot further than it does today. So this was actually a very good job for Red being that his only real work experience was working at a plant.
they funny part is that everyone shoulda been listening to red. instead of having bobs store which kept multiple ppl getting money. they chose the big block chain, that sucks money outta the community, vs bob who then spends said money earned from the town inside the town.
Be honest here, close to the end of the video, was Red being a hypocrite? I mean, he did that trick to Eric for fun, then a little bit later when Bob came, he did the same thing to Red like Red did to Eric just a little bit before then, but then Red asked Bob if he wants to keep all 10 of his fingers or not, and then he asked him, you wanna keep that finger? And now it’s making me think, was he being a hypocrite right then and there? Or, was he just being, a jokester at first, then being an ass, to Bob later on?
Red should have accepted the cashiers job and shut up, I mean they are destitute. "You are so going to end up in Porno" And why doesn't Laurie have a job. That wouldn't fly in my house.
He never beat his kids or wife. He consistently went to work or found employment when he was laid off. He gave each of his kids their first car. He 'adopted' an orphan (Hyde) just without the paper work. You must be a spoiled mofo to think bad of Red. Let alone today, by 70s standards he was dad of the year.

I love these early seasons of the show. They were honestly trying so hard and there was a charm to it.
No, they knew what they were doing. Later on the characters got flanderized.

@@817exo At least Eric was able to fully mature after returning from Africa as we’ll see how that maturity holds up on That 90’s Show.
He did respect Eric for standing up for himself it even inspired red to a degree he just wanted to make sure Eric wanted it
Red definitely gave him a look of respect

Red was way too happy telling Eric he was fired😂😂
Moments like this is when Erik is at his best. He stood up to Red
You can tell red is a proud man and he knows he’s to good for pricemart
Should have realized bob was right.
Yeah bob was right, but red not applying for a job at price mart wasn't going to save bob's business

Bob was foreshadowing big businesses
Walmart
Funny how Eric and Red ended up making a great team at Price Mart.
3:58 That honestly might be the best burn in the entire show 😆
Jordan Groff it sure was 😂. i also liked when red's mom told kitty he didn't drink until he met her, and kitty snapped back that she hadn't started drinking until she met her.
actually she ended up dead!
he said it so confidently too lol
@@yanni2112 She went out about how you'd expect a pornstar to.

I think you’re thinking too much into this piece of fiction
Wow overthinking, it's basically Red acting like Red, that's why he got the Job.
"If you can't get that, well I'm sorry you're a DUMBASS"! Lol
You know if you take out all the laughing bits, Red and Eric actually have some great father son moments.

Bob says "That's lower than my cost." The big box store was selling products for less than what Bob was _paying_ for them. That means that Bob could not compete with them.
Wal-mart had their products made from cheaper materials and then make them look like modern home furnishings.

$14.95 for a toaster in the 70s wow
Adjust for inflation.
I only just noticed this but the lamps in the kitchen are made from cheese graters
I used to have a Corolla like that. I actually loved that car. It could take more punishment then a brick masons wife
I love red 😂

Sad but what happened, and a lot of people got hosed
Way to go red
14.95 is a cheap toaster
$1 in 1970 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $7.44 today. That would be a $111.22 toaster. What kind of toasters are you buying?
ruclips.net/video/yZNF-H2xPCw/видео.html This moment is great. Shows that Red actually enjoys the thought of him and his son working together.

Don’t fuck with Redd, the war doesn’t compare to what he did in Detroit.
