| Fez doesn't have his green card and the Mounties | | | | many different perspectives.Final Thoughts: |
| working border patrol are less than willing to let them | | | | That '70s Show has a lot going for it. Not only is |
| return to the states. They're convinced they are | | | | there some fine writing and excellently plotted |
| smuggling illegal aliens. How this episode builds and the | | | | episodes, but the cast works together so gracefully |
| way it concludes is pretty damn funny. It's a fun | | | | that it is hard not to laugh at every single joke. I |
| episode you'll want to over and over again.Overall I | | | | have seen all of the episodes in this season set, |
| was quite happy with season three. If you couldn't | | | | some more than once, and they are just as funny as |
| tell from my reviews of season one or season two, I | | | | the first time. Overall I think this box set is worth |
| really love this show. The episodes in this season | | | | every penny. It is funny, entertaining, and has a very |
