‘ ‘70s Show’ ends season with twists
Lots of season finales tonight and the last “Angel,” ever but we’ll go with Fox.
From 8 to 9, it’s the two-part season finale of “That ‘70s Show,” which finds Eric getting cold feet about marriage and leaving town to get his act together.
Donna, of course, freaks out. And her mom, Midge (Tanya Roberts), returns to town to console her.
But that means Donna’s dad is caught between his ex and Jackie’s mom (Brooke Shields).
But that’s not all. As Kelso and Brooke prepare for parenthood, her mom (guest Morgan Fairchild) comes to town, too. And Kitty learns a secret about Kelso’s parentage.
And if all that’s not excitement enough for you, the three final “American Idol” contestants — Diana, Fantasia and Jasmine — find out at 9 which two of them will continue on in an hourlong results episode.
