This article is about Red Forman's war buddy. To read about the late high schooler, go to Charlie Richardson. Charlie Schmidt was a War Veteran that fought alongside Red Forman in Korea. He was first mention in Season 3, Episode 11 (Who Wants It More?) When Kitty asks who Red's friends are. Red answers with: "Charlie's a friend. He saved my life during Korea".
Charlie is brought up once again in the Season 7 episode, Let's Spend the Night Together, when Kelso is waiting for Brooke to call him. Red walks into the kitchen, and as the phone rings, Red answers. It turns out to be Charlie, and Red comments "I wasn't sure they even pulled you out of the water". Kelso then takes the phone and yells: "Never call here again!". This makes Red very upset, ad this is the last we hear of Charlie.
