Three's Company Audience Reviews 4e5g1f

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Dana Sibilsky I would watch this almost religiously when it was aired. The theme song has a catchy jingle to it. The cast will quickly begin to feel like family to you except the blonde girl who is often exchanged for another room mate through the years of the show's time on TV. Doing a role like this takes so much practice and agility so you will come to find that Jack Tripper (played by John Ritter, RIP) is perfect for the role that will leave you laughing oftentimes uncontrollably.Is it good for children? I'd say so. You won't have to worry about language needing to be filtered or inappropriate scenes. Is it good for the family? I'd say absolutely.
S.R. Dipaling As a small child who probably had NO business watching shows like this,I found myself coming away from most episodes(particularly anything from the Ropes/Crissy era,better known as the first two to three seasons)feeling two things:a strange,inexplicable(again,I was small lad of grade school age)attraction to one Suzanne Somers,and an unimpeachable belief that John Ritter was(next to maybe only Steve Martin)the funniest guy on TV. While I feel like my tastes about both of those elements may've changed to greater or lesser degrees over the years,I can still watch a rerun of these shows now and feel some sense of the old affinity I had for it before.JAck Tripper(Ritter,for whom I still miss),a happily single chef's attempts to continue living under the same roof with two lady friends--modestly attractive florist JAnet(JOyce DeWitt)and buxom,blonde actress/model(?)Chrissy(Somers,who would walk out of the show in a contract dispute,believing that SHE was the true star of the show,which she was only half-right IMO)--in a sunny,beach-side residence in San Diego by pretending he's gay(a plot point that steadily was diluted as the show rolled along) was the lynch pin of this highly successful ABC sitcom that ran through the swinging,Disco-and sex-crazed 70s right to the synth-pop,big hair,yuppie sex-craving '80s. All the while,a number of major cast changes--most notably,the switch from the bickering,snarky lard-lord couple of the Ropers(played deftly by Audra LIndley and Norman Fell)to the lovably creepy and intrusive Ralph Furley(Don Knotts,better than one might've expected at the time),not to mention the buxom blonde replacements to Crissy,played by Jenilee Harrison and Priscilla Barnes--continued to filter through the show's dynamic,which might've already wrecked the already tenuous premise of the show even further,but it never completely sank its appeal. The formula mentioned in my summary denotes that the show's true heft and value rode on that general premise,as when it finally went off the air after seven seasons,the producers tried valiantly(but in vain)to continue to trek JAck and his attempts at love on the short-lived "Two's Company".HArdly what you'd call the best TV had to offer of its period(or really any other),the light,sexy mix of talent and slapstick makes it a good way to the time channel-flipping. Stop on by TVLand(unintentional plug)and take a look.
Syl Let's face the show was at it's best with Suzanne Somers as Chrissy Snow. Unfortunately, greed and success can bring problems. I'm not saying that the show didn't recover from her absence. It did but it was nowhere near as successful or as authentic as it was with the original cast. The show's loss of Somers also brought her klutzy cousin, Cindy Snow, played lovingly by Jenilee Harrison but it didn't work. She would return in a recurring status on the show which shows that the producers did like her but not enough to play Cindy regularly. They re-casted the third roommate with Priscilla Barnes who played nurse Terry Alden. I have to say that I was dismayed to learn about all the shenanigans behind the series' success. As a kid watching the show, I thought everybody got along or I wished they did. The show gradually progressed with other characters played by Ann Wedgeworth who played the sexy female neighbor and Richard Kline playing bachelor Larry Dallas. The premise of Jack Tripper pretending to be gay to stay in the apartment helped provide some of the show's humor. John Ritter who we all miss even now was a comedic genius. He just played Jack as this lovable guy that any guy or girl would like to have as a roommate. I can't forget Janet Wood, the florist and third roommate, in their apartment. She was often overlooked in favor of the more popular cast but regardless she'll always be Janet to us.
cookierus4 First of all John Ritters first name an the first show was David. The Ropers were not the upstairs neighbors they lived downstairs. Mr. Ropers First Name was George, not Stanley in the beginning. There was an other Crissy Snow before Suzanne Somers. I believe the first names of the girls were Jennifer,or Jenny. The other girls name I don't . David was trying to get into show business not cooking school. Then When Joyce Dewitt was on the show, there was another girl named Crissy, I believe this was after the pilot show. If anyone re the girls name can you post them? Any other comments will be welcomed.
