The show's success is definitely a testament to the creativity and dedication put forth each week by the talented cast, outstanding writers and producers, and the great crew. There are a lot of things about the '70s we'd like to forget, especially those involving polyester. But this series has been a wonderful look back at this most memorable decade."
