buz-762-511954 This series is simple, slapstick humor, with no real seriousness to it. The perfect show if you just want to lay back and have a few laughs. Great actors, especially actor John Ritter, and funny story lines. I saw some interesting trivia at endedtvseries.com Terri is under looked though. Terri Alden (Priscilla Barnes)-Terri is the roommate who comes along to replace Cindy, after her character decides to leave and attend UCLA. Also blond like her two predecessors, this is where the similarities stop, as Terri is a registered nurse, hardworking, dedicated to her job and intelligent. Although she and Jack do have a rather unfortunate first meeting, they do warm up to each other after a short while.

Seattle10 What a great television show, filled with all types of slapstick comedy; misunderstandings; farce; portrayals of Los Angeles life; and.... girls!! This television show was so incredibly provocative for its time and remains one of the very funniest shows of all time.John Ritter is absolutely one of the funniest comedians ever. Joyce, Suzanne, Jennilee, Don, Richard, and Priscilla, are fantastic also.You all know the basic plot and premise for this television show.I cannot, for anything in this world, understand how the Ropers were ever allowed to be on the show. Their portrayal of a married couple, is ridiculous, goofy, and extremely annoying to watch, even when we viewed it over 30 years ago. Besides Norman Fell constantly both breaking the fourth wall, and laughing at his own jokes (neither of which ever worked), their goofball attitudes and antics, are disturbing and not enjoyable. Mrs. Roper's remarks always, and I do mean always, about Mr. Roper's lack of, shall we say, romantic and love desires, is ridiculous, and gets very old after the first time or two. How they ever received their own spin off television show, is almost impossible to understand.Excellent writers, actors, and others, make this a fantastic television show to watch.

frank_lea There will never be another show quite like Three's Company. There are very few shows that are laugh out loud funny, but Three's Company is one of them. The entire cast was great, even through the changes over the years. John was superb in his role and was clearly the engine that made the show run. The Ropers were hilarious and you'd think they'd be a tough act to follow but Mr. Furley was just as funny and the show didn't miss a beat. Suzanne was great as the dumb blonde, it's unfortunate that her selfishness got her canned from the show. I thought Cindy got a bad rap, she was funny and did some great physical comedy with Jack. Unfortunately, the writers never really developed her character. Terri was great, too. Although she seemed to alternate from smart to dumb, depending on the episode which seemed kind of odd. The Janet character was very underrated and was instrumental in the success of the show. You can't forget Larry, either. He was great as the sleazy used car salesman and swinging bachelor; a great foil for Jack. An awesome cast all the way around that had great chemistry on the set. I've heard some of the knocks that the show was silly, unsophisticated, used cheap sex jokes, and always had the same premise - some sort of comedic misunderstanding. All this is true but so what. The show was funny, very funny, and in the end, isn't that what being a great comedy is all about? I believe the reruns will still be on 100 years from now. This show stands the test of time and will be beloved in any era. They broke the mold when they made this show. Greatest comedy ever. Period.

OllieSuave-007 This is one of those shows I grew up on, videotaping each episode as the show ran in syndication, and watching it again and again. I never grew out of the laughs. John Ritter as Jack, Joyce DeWitt as Janet and Suzanne Somers as Chrissy were hilarious, trying to find their way out of every misadventure that comes their way. One of my favorite episodes was when Ralph Furley (Don Knotts) threatens to kick Jack, Janet and Chrissy out of their apartment due to their overbearing noise. As a result, knowing that they will have to hit the streets anyway and thinking they were invited to stay on a luxurious apartment complex by a man Jack saved in a restaurant, the three purposely makes more noises by slamming pots and pans on the floor and dropping the telephone on the desk-hilarious. Norman Fell and Audra Lindley delivered good comprehension as the Ropers, displaying their "platonic" relationship. Furley delivers one wisecrack after the other.The show pretty much declined after the Suzanne Somer debacle. Her leaving the show really left a void in the comedy, but Jenilee Harrison and Priscilla Barnes did pretty good as Cindy Snow and Terri Alden, but not as charming as Somers.But, a very fun show to watch again and again. This is one of those shows that is just one silly misadventure (sometimes childish) after another, don't have to find a specific purpose to follow.So, come knock on their door and watch "Three's Company."Grade B+
