I was watching the episode Donna's Panties (the where Eric pulls her pants down), and something really hit me. Really hit me about the show. Her and Eric have been फ्रेंड्स since they were in kindergarten, and no matter what they प्यार each other. Even when they were dating other people. Yet, have आप ever stopped and noticed something? Sometimes, Eric can be real mean to Donna. Like in the Ice Shack episode he कहा she had big feet, या in the episode Romantic Weekend Donna was upset about her dad getting laid off and Eric टिप्पणी जोड़ा गया हे back with,"Let's turn that frown upside down. That's right. Let's have super hot sex baby!", and in other episodes like New Hope he acted possessive over Donna because she was फ्रेंड्स with an old enemy of Eric's. Sure, Eric isn't a bad guy, but do आप notice what some of the stuff he puts Donna through. Hyde never did that. He would tease her here and there, but that's just Hyde for you. I'm not talking bad about Eric, but it's so amazing. One minute, Eric is sarcastic, says something wrong, Donna hits him या walks away, Eric tries so hard to make it up to her, fails, but then the last scene they're either making out and talking या playing बास्केटबाल, बास्केटबॉल, बास्केट बॉल like old friends. Also, he wrote that story in the paper about her, because of jealousy of Donna लेखन about them in the paper. Eric does प्यार her, but he treats her too much as "one of the guys". The only girl that understands her is Jackie, and even then she doesn't fully get on the same page as Donna. It's just that all that Eric had to do was truly understand Donna. Sometimes he did, but I think Hyde connected with her और than anyone, especially in the first two seasons before he and Jackie were so stuck on each other. What I'm trying to say is, Eric may not fully understand, and makes Donna feel bad about herself sometimes, but unlike most guys, Eric would fight to the death to let Donna know that he's sorry. Maybe because Eric's a guy, maybe it's hanging out with Kelso, या maybe it's just being a teen, but even though Eric can be a total jerk, he has that one special connection that no one, not even Casey Kelso himself can really connect with. All in all, I प्यार the show, and I प्यार the way Eric and Donna hang out. I प्यार the whole dating but still best फ्रेंड्स thing. It's not that common anymore, and it's sweet to see it.
