San Diego Comic-Con looks a tad different this year, as a number of major studios backed out due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike and WGA writers strikes. Despite that, there are still events and attractions in place to potentially keep attendees entertained. As is the case just about every year, a number of classic shows are well represented at the event. Beloved sitcom That ‘70s Show is among the series to have a big presence at the Con, and the setup is enough to get a fan excited. You probably shouldn’t expect to see cast member Danny Masterson represented, though, as he’s mostly been cut out of the festivities.
This might be hard to believe, but 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of That ‘70s Show, which made its Fox debut on August 23, 1998. (Anyone feeling old yet?) To mark the occasion, a panel featuring series alums Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith had been set but, as confirmed by EW, it’s since been cancelled due to the actors strike. The show is still well-represented, however, thanks to an elaborate activation that features the iconic 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser from the series. The beloved vehicle is surrounded by a semi-recreation of Eric Forman’s garage and driveway, even including a basketball court.
