"That '70s Show" had one of the best teen TV couples in Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon). Conversely, Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis) had a much more turbulent love life, but was most commonly linked to Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher).

Jackie went on to date their acerbic mutual friend Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson), but by the final season, she also dated foreign exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama). This came as Kelso and Hyde both left Jackie after a misunderstanding in Chicago, with Kelso realizing he had growing up to do after attempting to propose to her.



Jackie and Hyde felt like a mismatched couple already, despite somehow lasting for three seasons of "That '70s Show". The Jackie and Fez pairing, though, was a step too far beyond that, more of a relationship of convenience for Jackie after all other suitors were otherwise coupled up or absent.

Though Fez had been infatuated with Jackie for years, there was zero romantic chemistry between them as an actual couple. The continuation series "That '90s Show" wisely brought back Jackie and Kelso in the intervening years, leaving her other romantic entanglements largely unaddressed.
