Welcome the Three's Company Appreciation Thread!

The Show
Three's Company is an American sitcom that aired from March 15, 1977 to September 18, 1984 on ABC. It is based on the British sitcom Man About the House.

The story revolves around three single roommates: Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt), Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers), and Jack Tripper (John Ritter), who all platonically live together in a Santa Monica, California apartment building owned by Stanley and Helen Roper. Following Somers' departure, Jenilee Harrison joined the cast as Cindy Snow (Chrissy's cousin), who was later replaced by Priscilla Barnes as Terri Alden, a registered nurse. After the Ropers left the series for their own sitcom, Don Knotts joined the cast as the roommates' new landlord Ralph Furley.

The show, a comedy of errors, chronicles the escapades and hijinks of the trio's constant misunderstandings, social lives, and financial struggles, such as keeping the rent current.

Oh, that's right. I just couldn't hear it without hearing the song in my head.

Priscilla Barnes said her years on this show were the unhappiest in her professional career. She almost quit as soon as she was cast because she did not like the backstage atmosphere.

Wow. I am sorry to hear that. I wonder what the atmosphere was like?

**Melis** · 06-24-2017, 07:05 AM

Not sure. I always assumed it was good.

**Barrybgb** · 06-24-2017, 07:18 AM

I knew there was drama with Suzanne, but I didn't think it continued after her.

**Melis** · 06-24-2017, 09:42 AM

I didn't either.

I guess back then it was taboo for a man to live with two women. Nowadays people wouldn't think anything of it.

And to be gay, even if he was just pretending. I guess it couldn't of been too taboo since they got away with, well, what was at the time a little racy.

**Melis** · 06-28-2017, 05:58 PM

I find it odd that he had to lie and say he was gay just because he was living with them.

Wasn't being gay more taboo than a guy living with two women back then?
