MUMBAI: FX is the pioneer destination for world class English entertainment in India. To pay tribute to one of the stalwart sitcom series, the channel has a special day planned on Independence Day, Monday, August 15th. The channel will air a day long marathon of Season 3 of audience-favourite series ‘That 70s Show’ starring Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon and Wilmer Valderrama from 10:00 am to 7:00pm.

Set in the mid-late 1970s, when Nixon was president, Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin were big, Pong was America's #1 video game, and sodas and cars were cheap, ‘That '70s Show’ follows the daily lives of 6 teenagers. The head of the group is Eric Forman (Topher Grace) who lives under the authority of parents Red and Kitty. Living next door is girlfriend Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) and her parents Bob and Midge. The rest of the gang includes Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), a foreign-exchange student who's soaking up American culture like a sponge, Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis), her on-again, off-again boyfriend Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), and Steven Hyde (Dany Masterson), a conspiracy theorist who believes Xerox will take over the world. The gang usually spends their time in Eric's basement, thinking of their lives, parents, and futures, but they manage to get into funny adventures and mishaps along the way through their teenage lives.

The season 3 begins with Hyde getting out of the jail, but Red is now on a strict warpath. Despite a few missteps, Eric and Donna's relationship makes strides as they begin to imagine their futures together. Eric also makes progress at work—as does Donna—but Donna also discovers some painful truths about her dad. Jackie sets her sights on a resisting Hyde, while Kelso makes a concerted effort to win her back. Fez finally gets a girlfriend, Caroline, who turns out to be crazy. Eric and Kelso decide to take their relationships with Donna and Jackie to the next level, but with unforeseeable results.
