The basement film set and its contents have taken a battering over the years of filming. Now that the show is coming to an end, the actors are dividing up the props, keen to take a memento from the studio that has become a home away from home.

The whole cast got to break out of their routine and enjoy roles in the many fantasy sequences that were a feature of the show. Often based on iconic stage and screen performances, some actors were able to live out their personal acting fantasies and play parts they had always dreamed of.

Things on set didn’t always go as planned. Sometimes the young actors got the giggles, and sometimes they even got hurt, but each found their own way of dealing with the unexpected. Luckily, the director of the show was extremely patient with them.

When the unexpected happened, it was sometimes best to stay in character and try to get a bigger laugh. In particular, Ashton Kutcher, who played Kelso on the show, was willing to endure some painful knocks if it made the audience happy.

On set, the decor had to be just right in reflecting the decade of the 1970s. Behind the scenes, detail was also important when props were in use.

Over the years, the show was blessed with many guest star appearances. Hollywood favorites like Bruce Willis, Lindsey Lohan, and Brooke Shields had a lot of fun working on set with the vibrant, enthusiastic cast.

When the show began, Debra Jo didn’t like her character Kitty’s hair, but changing her look was never going to be simple, and had to be written into the plot. One small fire later, and Kitty got a different hairdo, along with her husband’s attention.

In this video, you can see the read-through of the last script and final filming of their last episode together. There’s a genuine warmth between the actors, and some tears, but all are thankful for the good times, friendship, and camaraderie the show has given them through the years.
