Page "Eric Forman" Paragraph 12
from
Wikipedia
In an early episode, Red tells Eric that Jackie is his favorite out of his friends because she can fix cars ( which is surprising, because Jackie is very petite and narcissistic ), Eric replies that she's not one of his friends.
Conversely, Eric only seems to find Jackie attractive when not hearing her voice in any way, stating at one point: " Good God, she is hot!
She believes she gets a free pass into the circle because she happens to be dating someone in the group.
Jackie is generally demeaning towards Eric due to his effeminate qualities, dorkiness and physical weakness, and believes him to be unworthy of Donna ( although she doesn't think much of Donna, either ), which causes Eric to dislike her even more.
However, as the series progresses, it is shown that they develop a tolerance for each other and eventually a friendship.
When Kelso begins to date Eric's sister Laurie, Eric realizes that he wants Jackie to continue to hang out in the basement, simply because it makes Laurie uncomfortable.
Eric is the first person Jackie told when she suspected she was pregnant in the first season and they have been known to occasionally help each other out.
In the episode " Jackie's Cheese Squeeze ," Eric admits that they are " friends ", as long as they don't refer to each other as such in public, and in the season seven finale, Jackie calls Eric from Chicago and admits that she's always cared for him and considers him a good friend.
