Here is a list of 15 Things That Don't Make Sense About That '70s Show.

15. They Refer To Each Other By Last Name... Except Jackie

As far as friendships go in That '70s Show, the relationship between Eric and his friends is as peculiar as they come. For some reason, Eric and his male friends mostly tend to address one another using their last names (with the exception of Fez whose real name is unknown).

14. That '80s Show

When That '70s Show ended in 2006, it seemed as though the show's universe had finally reached its conclusion. However, it underwent an unexpected revival thanks to the spin-off series, That '80s Show.

Even though the show features several of the writers and production staff from That '70s Show, it is not an official sequel to the series. Although, the show does take place in the same universe as the protagonist of That '80s Show is Forman's cousin.

13. That's A Groovy Timeline, Man

Despite its name, That '70s Show has had several issues regarding the timeline. Due to a series of errors, much of the show's timeline is inconsistent.

12. The Show Lasted Too Long

That '70s Show will always have a special place amongst those who grew up watching this series everyday after school.

Regardless of how popular it was, it does not really make sense that it lasted as long as it did.

11. Randy Who? 

After Eric and Kelso left, you would think that That '70s Show would find a way to end the series on a good note. As mentioned in the previous entry, the show should not have gone on for eight seasons.

10. Fez And Laurie's Marriage

The season 5 finale of That '70s Show was certainly one of the more unexpected episodes in the series. Rather than risk being sent back to his country, Fez and Laurie decide to get married so that he can stay and live as an American citizen.

9. The Water Tower

When it comes to Point Place, Wisconsin, one of its most iconic landmarks is its water tower. The tower serves as a local hangout for Eric and his friends, and was also the scene of several incidents -- including Fez's first arrest.

8. Eric's Basement

The Circle is one of the most recurring running elements in That '70s Show -- it is where they basically get together to do some illegal activity, while discussing their feelings or talking about current events in their lives. While the Circle has occurred in several locations such as the photo hut, the most common spot is Eric's basement.

7. Strict Authoritarian Red

As far as fathers go, no one comes close to raising kids like Red Forman. While he may not show it, Red does care about his family's well-being. However, he does have an unusual way of showing it. He holds absolute authority in his house and instantly commands respect and fear from Eric and the guys -- even Donna and Jackie know better than to cross him.

6. Hyde's Family Tree

Even though he is a conspiracy theorist and a slacker, Hyde is one of the smartest characters on the show. It's not all that surprising considering he has been taking care of himself for most of his life.

5. Mila Kunis' Age

The role of Jackie is one of the best performances of Mila Kunis' career. However, unlike her other cast members, Jackie was younger than she appeared. During her audition she lied about her age -- she originally told the show's producers she was 18, when she was really 14 years-old.

4. Donna's Sisters

Did you ever wonder what Donna's life would be like if she had siblings? Well as it turns out, she did. One of her sisters Tina, makes an appearance in the episode "Eric's Burger Job", while her older sister Valerie is mentioned in "Eric's Birthday".

However, following the episode "Vanstock", neither of Donna's sister are ever seen or mentioned again.

3. Eric's Reason For Leaving

In the season 7 finale, Eric decides that he wants to be a teacher. The only problem is that he wants to teach kids in Africa. Despite protests from his friends and family, Eric goes through with his decision and leaves his old life behind him.

2. Fez's Country

Fez has been a source of great comedic relief, but he is also responsible for one of the show's most popular running gags. When asked about where he comes from or when comparing his life in America with life from his country, he never gives a clear answer about where he's from.

1. Lawbreaker Kelso

As the resident "jock" of That '70s Show, Kelso is the group's resident jokester and rarely takes anything seriously. Even after he became a cop to support his pregnant girlfriend, he still manages to screw things up. However, despite all the dumb things he's responsible for, he rarely gets into trouble with the law.
