“I briefly considered, but then decided against, doing a flash forward to see what Kevin is up to in the 2000s,” he says. One thing the F Is for Family farewell won’t include is a time jump to show what might happen to the gang in the future - though Price admits he actually did explore that idea.
#THAT 70S SHOW SEASON 1 EPISODE 23 SERIES#
Indeed, in a brief interview via email, F Is for Familyexec producer Michael Price tells Vulture that the theme of this final season is closure, which, he notes, “really wasn’t a term thrown around a lot in the ’70s, and something you’d never think the Frank Murphy we knew when the series began would care about. He’s not been the most emotionally introspective guy. But the events of this past year in his life have changed Frank.” Over the course of the final ten episodes, Price says we’ll see Frank “trying to come to terms with his relationship with his dad and how he can somehow be a better father to his kids, especially to the new baby.” As for Sue, Frank’s tortured relationship with his dad inspires the Murphy matriarch to “patch up the deep rifts in her own family” and reconnect with her gay brother Louis (new cast member Neil Patrick Harris) “to hopefully get some healing there,” Price adds.
This certainly fits with Netflix’s official description for the plot of season five, which notes that as the show opens in the last weeks of 1974, the Murphys have been “rocked by loss” and that Frank has begun “a quest to understand the meaning of his father Big Bill’s life.” Even though nobody actually says the words “Big Bill is dead ,” we’re pretty sure papa Murphy will not live to see Jimmy Carter in the White House. (Spoilers ahead.) The opening seconds of the trailer show Frank (Bill Burr) dressed in a black suit, standing outside O’Doolihee’s Home for Funerals and Crematorium (the “last funeral home before highway”), followed not long after by Frank referring to his dad in the past tense, all while a melancholy instrumental version of the show’s theme song (Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love”) plays in the background. Audiences will get the resolution to the cliffhanger ending when the series returns next week, but the official trailer for Family’s fifth and final season - debuting right here on Vulture - offers some pretty clear indicators about his fate.

The gang includes Michael Kelso, a good-looking but gullible guy, especially when it comes to dealing with his controlling on-again, off-again girlfriend Jacqueline "Jackie" Beulah Burkehart Steven Hyde, a conspiracy theorist who thinks Xerox will take over the world and Fez, a foreign exchange student who's soaking up American culture like a sponge. Just ask Eric's ex-girlfriend and next door neighbor, Donna, a knock-out who's been forced to deal with her parents recent split and her dad Bob's new life as a swinging single.Įric gets by with a little help from his friends, who spend most of their time hanging out in the Forman basement and pondering their lives, their parents and their future.
But rites of passage aren't all that easy at a time when jumpsuits and platforms are the epitome of cool. Too cool for the Wisconsin suburbs where he lives under the authority of his parents - Red and Kitty - 18-year-old Eric Forman yearns for his independence.
