cabinessence Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 After the phenomenal success of the thread on The Brady Bunch,, it seems time to discuss another classic TV show, Three's Company. One of the joys I remember from my youth was watching Three's Company at 5:30 pm after finishing my paper route. I was a big fan. Jack and Larry? What a duo! The girls;Janet,Chrissy, Cindy, and Teri! Of course the zaniness of the landlords (The Ropers and Mr. Furley!) Does anyone remember the several appearances by Jeffrey Tambor? He played various roles, perhaps most famously the eventual Ropers' neighbour, Jeffrey P. Brooks the Third. An interesting bit of trivia on that is that his father's name was allegedly Al! Brooks claimed that Al was short for Jeffrey! One of my favorite episodes is when Jack buys a leather coat in a case of a misunderstanding. He walks through the front door and pulls off one of the better shuffles you will ever witness. He dubs his new purchase, Mr. Coat! How about the episode where The Ropers returned and Stanley almost went to to toe with RF? Roper with the dukes up, and Furley with the air karate chops! There was an ad that had viewers ponder who was the better landlord! Well, there you have it! What is your favorite episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 John Ritter died way too soon. The facial expression of both Norman Fell and Don Knotts were fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Cindy and Terri were really bad actresses..if there was one fault with this series it was that after Suzanne Sommers left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Cindy and Terri were really bad actresses..if there was one fault with this series it was that after Suzanne Sommers left. Yes, I hated Cindy. Terri was a decent replacement, but obviously nobody was going to fill that void. Does anybody remember the flop that followed? Three's a crowd.

Keslerific Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 My mom used to watch it and got me into it a few years ago. My favourite episode is the one where Jack, Terri, Janet, and Larry go out to a cabin and Jack ends up falling in the water. That was one of the first episodes I watched and it got me hooked on the show. Another good one is the one where Jack accompanies Janet to some rich guys party and Jack ends up drinking The Rocket and dancing. I've seen every episode a few times except for the finale, I don't want it to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once asked the bartender for a red drink so I could call it a rocket! In an interesting tie in to my previous highly acclaimed thread about The Brady Bunch, the "rich guy" in the "rocket" episode was played by Barry "Greg Brady" Williams!

Fanuck Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 One of my favorite episodes is when Jack ..... in a case of a misunderstanding. This describes every single episode, but I watched them all as a kid. Oh, the days of good clean television....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The trio buying an old bel air from that shady bigger was great. But by far my fave is the one where the cop thought she was a prostitute and he followed her home. Oh good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 One of my favourite shows of all time. It was a must see even when it was just reruns everyday at 5:00 Loved the one where Jack ridiculed girls for doing yoga poses. So they got him to do the Lotus. When he asked how to get out of it Janet says 'That is next week's lesson.' So he bounces around the room in that position. LOL A great example of his excellent physical comedy.

Keslerific Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 So who wins? Roper or Furley? I'd have to take Furley! also, that episode where the Ropers meet Furley is classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 This show was ahead of its time with the sexuality. Suzanne summers was a dime piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucklehead Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Here's some best of clips, includes the yoga bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabinessence Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Some great clips there! Another funny episode was when a building inspector tried to take a bribe from Jack. It was pretty humorous. Does anyone remember that Mr. Furley, in his first appearance ordered a scotch, with root beer, a cherry and some whipped cream? That caused some laughs too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Pretty sure my parents have the entire series on DVD kicking around somewhere. I've seen pretty much all of it and really enjoyed it, and I'm not a fan of sitcoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
