A classic show about suburban teenagers in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin is the perfect show to binge watch over winter break (or during school, not judging). The show that gave us Laura Prepon (Donna), who plays Alex on Orange Is The New Black, and the parents of Wyatt Kutcher, Ashton Kutcher (Kelso) and Mila Kunis (Jackie). This show gave us fresh, new stars who would later become famous in their own right. It was the launching pad of careers. It was funny. It was groovy. It had teens smoking pot in their parents’ basement, drinking back when the legal age was 18, and riding out the decade with sarcasm and wit. It was the 70s.
