What was the original, OFFICIAL title of 'That 70s Show' when the 1st ep!
Question: I don't want the working title -- I believe the show was renamed by the Network because viewers just kept calling it "that 70s show", so the Network decided "Fine. Then we'll just rename the series".

The title that was played for the pilot in '98 was "Teenage Wasteland," but everyone kept referring to the show as "That 70's Show" on TV, so they decided to rename it this instead.
Yes, this is considered the working title, but there wasn't any other title that the show officially went by besides "That 70's Show" itself. I'm an avid That 70's Show fan, and I found all of this out, straight from the director's mouth when watching the behind the scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew. You can also find the information listed in wikipedia and IMDb.
