Three's Company!

I have become such a fan of this show. It was so cute.

I've noticed I seem to like The Ropers a little better than Furley. But, he was great too. Larry was an awesome friend for Jack. And, Chrissy got so bloody annoying before her demise after S.S. had her little temper tantrum and left.

Anyone else a avid TC watcher/fan?

I love Three's Company!

Chrissy with Three's Company was a little like Homer with The Simpsons: made progressively dumber with every season. But with Chrissy, it was way more rapid. The hair became blonder, the pigtails, the clothes, the makeup more and more trowled on, the mannerisms more obnoxious, the occassional snort-laugh became a regular occurrence.... I loved her during the first few seasons with the Ropers (who I also thought were better than Furley). But by the time Chrissy was leaving, she'd become too little of a character and too much of caricature...

Jenilee Harrison as Chrissy's klutzy cousin Cindy was good for finishing out that 5th season. (Her character reportedly just assumed the plots originally planned for Chrissy.) And I warmed up to Priscilla Barnes as nurse Terry pretty quickly. I wonder if the character changes actually afforded the show a season or two more than it would have had otherwise.

Chrissy and the Ropers were the best! Cindy was a failure just like Jamie was on Dallas. Cindy was not popular with the fans and that's why she was written out. Her stint on Dallas was just as bad...I think she was killed 3 times.....lol....I wish they had gotten a better actress in the role for Jamie. I liked Terri but she wasnt Chrissy.

Rude! I thought Jenilee Harrison did a great job as Jamie. She was a firecracker with lots of potential in the beginning. Then the role was watered down. She had the misforture of coming on during a poorly written season. Then her final season (when she was killed off a second time), they finally went back to her roots and gave her some great stuff with Cliff. It was a shame to see her go. Would've been a good addition to the later years. Going back to Three's Company, I enjoyed Cindy as well. The first episodes I saw featured her and I liked that she didn't have the same obvious sex appeal. I also thinK Jenilee is prettier than Suzanne Somers. The only one I couldn't stand was Terri. Only positive for her is that they did something different for a change.

I hated Cindy. I found her just too stupid and silly. Good riddance when she left. I did like Terri though. Not as funny as other cast members but she had great chemistry with all of them and fit right in. I think she provided excellent moments which they all played off of.

Someone behind the scenes at Three's Company must have been a fan of Another World- three roles on Three's Company were played by former AW stars- Audra Linley- Mrs. Roper was Liz Matthews on AW, Jordan Charney- Mr. Angelino- Jack's boss was Sam Lucas (Ada's brother and Rachel's uncle) on AW and its spinoff Somerset, and Ann Wedgeworth- Lana Shields who played Lahoma Vane Lucas on AW and its spinoff Somerset. Charney and Wedgeworth's AW characters were married on the show.

    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

    • That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
    • Does anyone know of a place where I could watch older episodes of RC??? I really would love to watch more of this show, and I would decide if I would join the save River city campaign, I HATE when soaps are killed, but sometimes you should let them go too
