I am wondering because people said "Cosby Show" got dropped in all forms of syndication when Bill Cosby went to jail in 2016.

I dont see why fans of That 70s Show who likes to watch the reruns have to pay because of the type of person Danny Masterson is.

I know its on Laff TV and Peacock both carry the reruns. It will certainly have a different vibe though watching now that people know what type of person Danny (Hyde) is.

It would be tough for Laff to drop it: 3 hours a day including 9-11 pm ET.

24/7 reruns

He wasn't the lead character like Cosby was. So I think it might not make much difference and the show will continue to air.

Can't erase the past no matter how hard some will try.

The Danny Masterson Convictions Are Too Fresh In The Memory (https://screenrant.com/cult-shows-first-time-watch-today-hard/#that-39-70s-show)

That '70s Show with its immaculate vibe of the '70s and cozy feel all throughout is iconic, but that might not be what first-time viewers would think now. Danny Masterson's rape verdict (https://screenrant.com/danny-masterson-trial-sentencing-prison/) has sealed the series' fate as being eternally associated with such a horrible crime. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's real-life age difference back in 1998 does not help either. However, it is not just the outside issues that make That '70s Show controversial — Fez's entire storyline, starting with his kind of offensive nickname and ending with constant racist jokes about him being a foreigner, is painful to watch.
