Season eight was doomed before it even began. It was already missing Eric and Kelso, two of the show’s most vital characters. And due to a brand new team of writers, it led to a string of odd storylines - Hyde marrying a Las Vegas stripper, the awkward killing off of Charlie and Jackie ending up as Fez's girlfriend.

The show truly jumped the shark when Randy was made a permanent role. From his lack of personality to his forced relationship with Donna, Randy simply didn't belong with the circle.

Ironically, season eight has the highest rated episode on IMDB of all time, despite being the worst season. The finale is set on New Years Eve of 1979 and features a surprise appearance from Topher Grace.

It's an emotional viewing because it was a last huzzah to the close bond of the cast members and how they evolved throughout the show.

The moment that will send you into tears is the final shot - a throwback of the teenagers in the pilot episode as they’re singing Todd Rundgren’s “Hello, it’s me” in the Vista Cruiser. As an audience, we weren't just saying goodbye to a television show, we were saying goodbye to our friends.

Season eight is mostly skippable but you should definitely not miss out on the final episode.
