    I first watched this show in 1981 when my mom bought me a black and white TV. Back then I loved this show. It was about a man who lived with two women. That man was Jack Tripper who was played by the Late John Ritter. The two women were Janet and Chrissy. Janet was played by Joyce Dewitt and Chrissy was played by Suzanne Somers. The landlord forbade them from living together until Janet lied to him. She told him that Jack was gay. I noticed a mistake that was made. Jack's uncle paid him a visit. He told Jack that he came to see his favorite nephew. Jack then said "I'm your only nephew." This clearly stated that Jack is an only child. But a couple of years later Jack's brother visited him. Greed can be a persons downfall and Suzanne Somers demonstrated this. She was earning $30,000 per episode. She went to the producer and demanded that her pay be raised from $30,000 to $150,000 per episode. John Ritter was making $50,000 per show. If she had asked them to give her the same salary that ...

    Two stars for the production values. The adult equivalent of Gilligans' Island. About the same level of humor.

    how the hell can some of these people say this show wasnt funny??? are you kidding me? this show was almost banned because of how raw and funny it was!  john ritter was like a 70's version of jim carey. he was such a wonderfull guy and made this show so successfull... this show had so much chemistry with the entire cast. the ropers and mr furley also made you laugh your *** off...... we have teenagers coming in here trying to say this show was poor! no way in hell...threes company was the grandfather of true comedy...it had several seasons for a reason! because it was awesome

    5 stars are not enough. 25 years ago I would have said it's excellent. But the way it holds up, it's... sublime. The best American show ever made. But don't even try watching it if you can't get over the idea that the world must be deadly earnest.

    They all deserve applause for their brilliant acting abilities, but, it was Tripper that pulled the whole atmosphere together and made it appealing to the majority. I give credit to all of them though. Terrific work.

    Great show, lots of laughs, and who couldn't laugh at John & his pratfalls? He made it look so easy. Maybe hokey at times, but it was funnier than anything out there now. A show ahead of its time!

    Not a popular rating, but now that I see it through more mature eyes, "Three's Company" gets rounded down to a single star in my book. The acting was clumsy, the humor common, and the plots predictable. I can't remember a storyline that didn't revolve around some kind of misunderstanding embedded with sophomoric sexual innuendo. Nevertheless, "Three's Company" has certainly become an institution, so there's a market for this type of series; however, it pains me each time I see Don Knotts on this show.

    I just don't find this show very funny. And it has one of the most annoying TV theme songs ever written.

    Three's Company is one of the funniest shows of all time. Who cares if it was "well written" or whatever. If you don't laugh when you watch this show (especially the earlier ones) you must be dead.

    When did this show come to be considered classic TV? It sucked in 1978 and it sucks today.

    This show was the king of double entendres. The first few seasons with the Ropers and the early Furley seasons were the best. Then the unfunny Larry got a credit at the beginning of the show, Chrissy left, and the show went down hill in a big way.

    Favorite years of the show were from 77-81. Hated the Cindy episodes, Teri was just o.k. The Ropers were a riot--was sad to see them go.

    Probably the most popular extremely badly written sit-com of all times next to maybe Laverne and Shirley.

    This show was funny until Suzanne Sommers left. Then Barney arrivec doing his usual schtick that did not help. They never could replace Sommers so the show went on painfully for a few more year. John Ritter was the anchor on that show, he will be missed.

    From a serious standpoint, John Ritter & Don Knots WERE the show... Period! Joyce DeWitt was adequate, and Suzanne Sommers was ALMOST as obnoxious as she is in real life. So why did I watch? For Prescilla Barnes as Terri and her great legs in skimpy outfits.

    A trash wallow if there evers was one.The same type of cast in its era.The card board cutouts Joyce Dewit and Jack Trippers equally cardboard friend Larry.Originally the mother of all jiggles Suzanne Somers painfully hard to watch acting bad even for this low rent vehicle comedy.The only interesting people were Normal Fell and Don Knots and John Ritter.Then there was another parade of dumb blondes while jigglewoman was on her star trip.I goota say i thought Somers was hot in those days but now I just think what a skank.I'd rather be in prison with Don Rickles as my cellmate and watch webster reruns 24/7 than this shows non plots.

    john ritter was the star of this show hands down. suzanne somers character was more dumb than funny and joyce dewitt had no talent.the ropers were funny and don knotts was a perfect replacement for them. it never slowed the show down once when they left cuz knotts was a funny addition.

    Ritter made this show great. The women were eye candy. Also, who can forget Ferley, and Larry, and Roper. Hilarious.

    Agreed that this show was full of stupid humor, jiggling bodies, unrealistic story lines but that is the beauty of it. Simple mindless humor that you didn't have to think about. And hey who doesn't mind looking at Joyce Dewitt or Suzanne Sommers?

    Wretched. John Ritter should have had his heart attack thirty years ago and spared us all this misery. I love the comments that there was too much jiggle What other purpose did this show have?

    Outstanding before Suzanne Sommers left and pretty good after she left. John Ritter was a gem. Suzanne played Chrissy perfectly. Joyce DeWitt was extremely talented and a bit underrated as Janet. The Ropers were a classic and Don Knotts did a good job as Mr. Furley. I can watch these reruns over and over and never get tired of them.

    This is one of the funniest shows ever. Don Knotts was hilarious as Mr. Furley and Priscilla Barnes was one of the hottest actresses on a TV series ever! I love the one where Jack goes on a TV show as a chef for Angelino's and picks Terri and Janet as his assistants. Larry tells him he should use note cards and hide them in peculiar spots(like in the food or in his chef's hat), but before the show starts, the TV crew rearranges everything. Then, at the beginning of the segment, Jack has no idea what he is doing, Terri is smiling and staring into the camera, and Janet is nervous and leaning on Jack. When Jack doesn't know what to say, he says Terri has a nice smile, and as he says that Terri turns around and they zoom in on her behind. After the segment, everyone laughs and Larry comes by the apartment and says, Terri, nice smile! There were many other hilarious episodes. This was a very good show; one of the best ever.
