Warning: Spoilers
A great episode another one that touches upon real life and again teasing Eric and Donnas relationship which seemed to be a lot of early episodes.

A lot of pros to this one as well not as good as Eric's Birthday to me. But still great pretty much the whole main plot with Eric and his first job is great. The interview scene is iconic. Eric saying he's got to work all the time, which is a funny scene but also is true when you get your first job it usually starts to take over life and you work a lot. Ricky is a pretty funny character and then his reaction when Eric quits is also funny. Also kitty has a good moment when red doesn't know she did the driveway for Eric cause of work. Her reaction was great. Also her showing up to Fatso burger was a great scene. Her telling Ricky she's his mother. The other thing going on is Donna trying to get alone with Eric it doesn't sound that funny but it's got some great moments. Especially the scene in the basement Donna dropping hints to Eric and Hyde the only one picking them up and kelso and fez reaction to Donna and throwing a party. Fez prostitution line is classic. The party scene is classic with fez hitting on Donnas sister and Hyde line back at him. Red catching Hyde fez and kelso trying to steal his beer is also very funny. The scene with Eric showing up to Donnas but bob came home early was also a great scene. I just love how the show use to do real life situations and made it funny and interning later it kind of felt more like sitcom tropes, right now it feels original even if it isn't perfect.

Some of the negatives include Donnas little sister I'm not gonna talk about it to much it's her only appearance and it is weird looking back since you kind of forget and think Donnas an only child but it's not to bad unless your rewatching it, and it doesn't even bother me to much. Now this is the first episode they partially tease there could be something between Hyde and Donna that at least i noticed and idk I was never a huge fan of this plot especially since I do quite enjoy Hyde and Jackie as a couple. I'm happy that didn't last to long and was dropped this season. But the pros out weigh the cons.
