i dont like Terry or Cindy.
Crissy was my favorite!

After Cindy came on the show, it was just a bit too much.

Sadly, after the first season or so, this show turned in an abysmal excuse for comedy. Same thing, over and over, Jack does a prat fall, Chrissie snorts.

This has been running on Deja View for years. I can't understand why they can't find anything else. I can't even tune in to it. I don't think it aged well at all.

Another cringe-worthy mess.

I thought Chrissy was the best dumb blonde they had on the show. Hated it when Don Knotts came on the show wearing the GAYEST clothes ever and then making cracks about Jack being gay! I really liked John Ritter and he was way hot back then!

Loved the show so much, I had to get all 8 seasons! It never jumped the shark!

Count me among the group who feels that Chrissy was annoying and unfunny. Her snorting made me wince and her dumb blonde routine was tired and pathetic. Also, it was good that she got dumped from the show after her huge ego caused so many problems with the rest of the cast. She deserved that. Her replacement was even worse but when Terri came aboard the show got better. If it jumped at all it was when the Ropers left.

Sign me up for when Chrissy left the show. Joyce DeWitt was a bitter, unhappy troll and Jennilee Harrison, while fit, was too over the top clumsy.

This was a charming show though and was very enjoyable to watch.

I watched the show because of Suzanne Somers. I Loved Chrissy!

I didn't miss Chrissy at all and didn't feel she was integral to the show. I was more in love with Joyce DeWitt but Jack was the real talent. As Much as I have great admiration for Don Knotts he was never good on Three's Company. Often the best characters were the sidebars - Mrs. Roper and Jack's sexist buddy. I don't believe that Chrissy was missed except by latent paedoes. Her husband Al Hammil was a moderate success in Canadian television which tells you everything - he was an idiot and orchestrated her downfall.

Mr. Furley was my favorite part of the show. I wonder what happened to those outfits.

>This show jumped the minute it hit the airwaves. Every week, the same damned, dumb plot: John Ritter unwittingly gets caught in some compromising situation,

WRONG. He wasn't the only one.

>resulting in a misunderstanding, and causing the Ropers (and later the accutely annoying, unfunny Don Knotts) to think he was involved in some lewd sexual act with Chrissy.

WRONG. A couple of episodes, perhaps.

>This show was supposed to represent the sexual revolution (that was the big tag line at the time), but it was more G-rated than "Mister Rogers".

Not exactly G-rated. Did you actually listen to some of the dialogue?

>Dopey John Ritter (the most un-erotic actor on the face of the earth),

RIGHT! So what?

>tried to make a play for either of his two shapley, albeit squeaky clean roomies,

WRONG. Actually, he only made a play for them three or four times.

>but nothing EVER happened.

Maybe. Maybe not. Some episodes were a little ambiguous.

>Even the one married couple on the show, the Ropers, never had sex.

WRONG. At least twice.

>The average wisdom tooth extraction is funnier and more entertaining than suffering through forty-five seconds of this malarkey.

=OPINION. But did you actually watch the show, or just read the Unbearable Lightness of Being?

This show jumped the minute it hit the airwaves. Every week, the same damned, dumb plot: John Ritter unwittingly gets caught in some compromising situation, resulting in a misunderstanding, and causing the Ropers (and later the accutely annoying, unfunny Don Knotts) to think he was involved in some lewd sexual act with Chrissy.

This show was supposed to represent the sexual revolution (that was the big tag line at the time), but it was more G-rated than "Mister Rogers". Dopey John Ritter (the most un-erotic actor on the face of the earth), tried to make a play for either of his two shapley, albeit squeaky clean roomies, but nothing EVER happened. Even the one married couple on the show, the Ropers, never had sex.

The average wisdom tooth extraction is funnier and more entertaining than suffering through forty-five seconds of this malarkey.

I think that it is very interesting that two posts ago, someone mentioned how the gay thing had been played out by the end of the second season. Well, one thing that is for sure is that there were dozens of episodes in which the landlord came upon circumstantial evidence that Jack might not really be gay! The roomates would have to keep thinking up new lies to cover their old lies. It "really" got out of hand! It seemed that, whenever they would start to run out of story lines, they would invent one more way to use this formula. In the end, the roomates would make it by the skin of their teeth in terms of keeping the landlord hoodwincked! How unrealistic can you get?

This show jumped day one because John Ritter NEVER hooked up with any of his hot roomates...

YEA RIGHT!!!!!!!


Everybody should check out the Rob Zombie flick "Devil's Rejects"...

Priscella Barnes has a bit role in it, and she still looks pretty damn good...

Three's Company jumped before Suzanne Summers left for me. I loved watching her boobs bounce like everyone else, but the show started to suck around season 2 (79-80) when they ran out of misunderstandings as to why Jack wasn't sleeping with Chrissy or Janet. The gay thing was played out by then and I can't watch seasons 4-8.
