5.0 out of 5 stars
ground breaking 70's(tv show) farce with slapstick and pratfalls galore,
By
This review is from: Three's Company: The Complete Eighth and Final Season (DVD)
before Friends,there was this little gem.Three's Company will have youcrying in tears,just like Friends.however,unlike Friends,the humour is mostly slapstick and usually revolves around simple misunderstandings.The late great john Ritter,Who played Jack tripper, was master of the pratfall.as Lucille Ball once said(i'm paraphrasing)John would have been at home in the era of silent comedy.the man was,put simply,a genius.nobody had better comic timing.But equally great in their roles were:Joyce De Witt,who played Janet wood,one of Jack's 2 female roommates,and the more straight laced of the bunch.In the early years Suzanne Somers would play Jack's other roommate,Chrissy Snow,who was little more than a ditsy airhead,and a great foil for both Jack and Janet.Later on Jennilee Harrison(for a very brief time),would take over the role as Jack's second roommate,Cindy Snow,Chrissy's cousin(who had inherited the same intellect)after Suzanne quit/was let go.And finally,Priscilla Barnes would fill the roommate role for the remainder of the shows run as Terri Alden,a nurse.Terri could also be a bit dim at times.actually,they could all be a bit dim at times.i should mention that the apt had very strict same sex rules.you'll see why this is funny and how they get around it,once you watch the first show.anyway,next we have Norman Fell as Mr Roper,land lord and husband to Helen,who was sex starved/crazed and tried everything, usually unsuccessfully to get Mr Roper into bed.then there is Richard Kline(who was not in the first few episodes) who played Jacks' girl crazy friend, Larry Dallas.Larry could be a letch at times,always trying to get Janet,Terri and the others to sleep with him.but deep down,he had a good heart.this is just some of what happens in the first Eventually,the Ropers leave and in walks Don Knotts as Ralph Furley(R.F as he became affectionately known).as an aside Don was also a master of comedy,as evidenced by his actions and reactions to some of the situations that would unfold.Don sadly also died in Feb 2006.Anyway Ralph considers himself a ladies man.Of course,he's the only one who does.anyway,as the series progressed,Jack and the girls had to continue hiding the truth about Jack.there you have a synopsis of the series.There are obviously things i left out,such as how Janet and Chrissy met Jack.but you get the gist.basically,Three's Company is one of the all time great sitcoms.if you haven't seen it,i urge you to look for it. 5/5.i must also mention that the world lost 2 great talents in John Ritter and Don Knotts.

It's just too bad that more in this series weren't made. Well worth the money!

more fun facts,
By
This review is from: Three's Company: The Complete Eighth and Final Season (DVD)
I read your fun facts and some were cut off.1. The brunette that knocks Jack off his bike is Chrissy in a wig. That is mentioned in one of the audio commentaries of the shows (I think the second season) 2. Jordan Charney (Mr. Angelino) played two different characters on the show. Besides Angelino, there was an episode where he played Larry's boss that Jack goes to cook for and his wife runs after him (I can't remember his name). The title of the episode is "Jack moves out" 3. Jeffrey Tambor (Larry Sanders Show) played at least two different characters over the seasons. When the Ropers move into the townhouse and when Cindy Snow has a rich admirer who wants to marry here even though she is not interested. 4. If you look at the cast list at the end of the episodes there are lots of actors who appeared on this series. (James Cromwell (movie star),Julie Piekarski (Facts of Life-season one)etc.
