Wilmer Valderrama, who played the loveable Fez, posted a series of cast photos with a long, heartfelt caption on Instagram. "This was the first picture we ever took together, 20 years ago today...We had just met and had no idea what was ahead of us, or if it would even last.. but we knew it was gonna be fun," the caption read. "We spent 8 years and 200 episodes together, we traveled the world... we grew up together. We were a family, and will always be."
Topher Grace, who played Eric Foreman on the show and now stars as the main villain in BlackKklansmen, posted a photo of the cast on Twitter Thursday.
"Ultimate #tbt," he wrote. "Hard to believe That 70s Show premiered 20 years ago today. Few people can say they owe everything to one small group, but in my case it's true. To quote the '78 Point Place High yearbook, 'What a long strange trip it's been... in Forman's basement.'"
