I’m re-watching That 70s Show, and everyone loves to hate on it for Season 8, but I don’t think that’s the Jumping the Shark moment. Re-watching, I think it was Graduation. I don’t think the writers had any ideas for after graduation (end of Season 5). I’m in Season 6 now and the plotlines are Kelso got a girl pregnant, Fez and Laurie’s not-wedding/green card status, Kelso becomes a cop, Eric and Donna doing pre-wedding stuff. Hyde and Jackie have no major plotlines so far this season beyond just being supporting characters (I think Brooke Shields shows up next season). It’s all just filler.
