That 70s Show tackled significant social issues of the times, such as feminism and progressive sexual attitudes and the reaction of the Greatest Gerenation to their burgeoning influence; the economic hardships of recession; mistrust in the American government among blue-collar workers; teenage drug use; and developments in entertainment technology, from the television remote ("the clicker") to the video game Pong, and probably the most frequently noted Star Wars(the latter neatly tying in to a new round of Star War mania in 1999). Red also shows his dislike (or hate) of Communism, and those that prefer it. (Cold War).
