How long do you think it would have last? Do you think the Larry character could have carried his own show?

I don't think it would even last an episode and probaly Jack's a beter idea becouse every body loves Jack.

Larry was a great character but I don't think he could have carried his own show. Richard Kline was great because of the chemistry he had with John Ritter. I think he should have went to Three's A Crowd.

Yeah that would have worked better. Some other Three'sCompany character should have went along with him. Either Felipe or Larry should have went along.

I always thought Janet chould have been in threes a crowd rather than vickie being in threes a cowd. Don't you guys agree.:wave:

Why would Jack and Janet share a one bedroom apartment over Jack's restaurant??? Did you forget they were platonic friends

Yes, but some of us wanted Jack & Janet to fall in love and get married! That would have been a GREAT show! Especially if Larry was in it too!!

Yeah it's ok to say you wish Jack and Janet was a couple but when someones askes-Why Janet wasn't in Three's a Crowd. i would think everyone who watched Three's Company would know why. Now a better question would be why Janet never made a guest appearance on TAC. Everyone may not know the reason for that.

I think joyce hated the producers for not leting her be a regular on Threes a crowd.:wave:

Her character wasn't needed for TAC. I don't know why Joyce couldn't understand that. All the others cast members accepted that their characters were not needed and moved on.

Then why did the show only lasted one season!? I think she was needed! If she would of been on TAC the show would of probably lasted more then one season! It was REPLACED b/c audience probably thought it was bording w/out her! Vicky and Jack were bording! :D

:wave:

Janet Rocks!!!!!!!! :D

well.......the show obviously didn't last for one reason, and that reason was because Janet was not there. The co-producer of TAC even said the show didn't make it ---cuz the whole world wanted to see Jack and Janet together. Jack and Janet lived together for 8 years, and then all of a sudden she is gone .....out of his life forever. Shoot, she didn't even need to be his romantic partner on TAC.........her character just needed to exist. They didn't have to share a one bedroom apartment......Janet could have gotten her own apartment close by and still just been a platonic friend of Jacks. They were best friends, you know. Joyce even said herself that she may not have even filled the position on TAC if she would have been asked, but that her character (whether it was romantic or platonic) still needed to exist for that show to be successful. I completely agree with her, and I don't think that she is still hovering over the issue of not being part of TAC. She was upset by the way John and the producers handled telling the cast about the show.

Anyway---I don't think any of the characters could have done a spinoff alone that would have been successful. The whole cast of TC played a very important role to thier success, and that was proven when TAC did not last after one season (with the "STAR" of TC).

AND---yes, Jack and Janet should have gotten together in the end. STUPID PRODUCERS!!!!! :rolleyes:

The show only lasted one season because it went up against the A-Team. And the A-Team was ranked as the 6th best show during the 84-85 season. So are you telling me more people would have watched TAC if Janet was there? I think not.

I really don't think Janet would have made a difference. The last season of Three's Company had her and the show wasn't ranked in the top 30.

Exactly. Plus is she was married on Three's Company, why would she be added to TAC? Guest Appearance Yes, Cast member No.

ok so ur saying that the other cast members thought nothing of it and just moved on just like that? personally i would have been pissed. i mean come on, 8 years is a long time to be working with someone and then they dont tell u that ur no longer needed, until its convenient for them. she had every right to not be understanding of that. and im pretty sure she is over it now!!!!

I think Janet should have at least made a guest appearance like Larry did. It doesn`t make sense b/c in the last episode , Janet told Jack she was going to be living in the same city , so if she lived nearby , she should`ve at least visited!

Obviously, your not going to change my mind just like I am not going to change urs so....! But I stick to my point! She was needed like M4cong said even if she wasn't his g-friend! Even though almost all of TC fans really wanted that! And no matter what the shows went up against the show was still Replace! I still think that the fans missed the reg. cast!

lol. omg i so agree. i was thinking the exact same thing. i mean she did say she was living in the same city. and why wouldnt she eat at the bistro? or visit him? or bump into him at the grocery store? she also said that he was invited over everynight to cook her dinner;) (b/c she cant cook) so she should have made guest appearances regularly like larry did on tc. and i mean THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS!!!!! it was stupid of her not to be seen AT ALL!

I agree! But the thing is , Joyce DeWitt didnt want to be part of the show b/c I think she was upset about how the producers told the cast about it . But still , I wish Janet wouldve at least visited , even not regularly, but once or twice!

She wasn't asked because the producers wanted to start a NEW SHOW that was about Jack Tripper. If she was added it would have still reminded viewers of Three's Company. They wanted to Surround the Jack Tripper character with NEW characters not characters he was around for 7 years. And why would Joyce want her character to play the role Vicky played if the Janet and Jack characters were platonic friends.

ok um.....dont u think that jack would have reminded people of tc?!?!?!? i mean hello people sat there and said that he was the "STAR" of the show! and people DID NOT want them to just be platonic friends. that would be y we are saying that they would have made a cute COUPLE!!!! and hey maybe joyce didnt want her character and johns to be "platonic friends" ne more!

The producers wanted a new show. They were attempting to do what the producers of All In The Family did when they created Archie Bunker's Place. The ratings were in the mid 30's and the show was about to get renewed but at the last minute ABC decided to pick up the NBC series Diff'rent Strokes. If it would have got renewed it might have succeeded because the show that took its timeslot Growing Pains became a big hit and the NBC shows began to decline on Tuesday night.

Well i watched Three's Crowd yesterday and I didn't think I was watching TC. Probably because he was around NEW PEOPLE

Ya but what is wrong with remembering the show that was a huge sucess for a mid season replacement? i mean if janet had guest appearances then it would be better b/c she was a BIG part of the show and jacks life. it just doesnt make sense

Well We know that it wasn't a guest appearance by Joyce because she was upset that she wasn't apart of the show. But A guess appearance by one of the Females roomates would have been nice. Of Course not Chrissy, but Terri, Cindy, or Janet walking into the BIstro.

I watch some of TAC and I have also watch GP! and there is no comparison to me! GP is way better! IMO!

maybe they were hoping the audience would get to know the new cast over the first season and if it had got a second season then maybe they would of got joyce dewitt to make regular apperances.

I watched them both too. I didn't even start to like Growing Pains until the second season. I remember I originally thought they were trying to copy Family Ties. TAC wasn't as good as Growing Pains but wasn't given as much of a chance. I do think Mary Cadorette was the weak link in that show and Joyce should have guest starred but I don't think she was the difference as to why the show was unsuccessful.

I thought EZ was the weak link.

over here in the uk Robin's nest was a spin off from man about the house and that was successful but not as big as george and mildred which was the most successful of all.
george and mildred was very funny.

maybe the scripts were not as good for TAC dont forget after 8 years of threes company they had put jack into every situation they could think off.

was GM like the Ropers!?!? I love the Ropers! I would def. watch their show! :D They are so cute and adorable!!!:D

I think the idea of Larry having his own spin-off is interesting. It could've worked, IMO, if it had been set up properly with a good plot, cast, etc.

Maybe I'm biased because I don't see the hubbub about a Jack/Janet pairing, but I really don't think it's fair to say that TAC failed because it didn't have Joyce DeWitt. The ratings for the last season of Three's Company and Three's a Crowd were similar. There was a lot of competition at that time in their slot and I honestly doubt it would've lasted any longer with Janet as Jack's love interest.

hi
it was the same as the ropers with the family next door etc.
the only difference was george was nagged at a lot more and mildred wanted to fit in the neigborhood more.
the boy next door stole the show as he would repeat things the the adults would say.

the only difference with man about the house was there was no missunderstandings.

I agree. I've always thought of them more as siblings, not as a romantic couple. It definitely would've been odd for me to see them as a couple.

I will admit that Vicky was DRY. Which is why i feel one other supporting character should have went along with Jack. Either Felipe as the CHEF or Larry who could have made guest appearances by living close by. But the females roomates were no longer needed. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

ya but um see.............THEY WERE NEEDED! the show was a failure. and i am so sorry john ritter fans, but it only lasted a season. vicky was not a girl that we watched for 8 years. we didnt have enough time to like her. i am sorry but 3 episodes is not good enough for me! and since i like janet way better than vicky and will ALWAYS like her better, then i dont think i could ever come to like her. obviously the girls WERE needed or else the show wouldnt have failed. so why is that so hard for YOU to understand?

When I say NEW ERA i mean that the Jack Tripper character was starting a new life by moving in with Vicky and continuing his ownership of the Bistro.

A Spinoff with Larry would have lasted about as long as a spinoff with Felipe. In other words, not long.

The girls were not needed. The choice was between a new show or a final season of Three's Company(I'm not sure it would have gotten renewed if it wasn't for the spinoff). Three's Company was a great show but it was dying as all shows eventually do. The only character that should have come over besides Jack was Larry. The ratings for Three's A Crowd were not that bad. There are many sitcoms on now that are considered hits that have worse ratings than Three's A Crowd.

i think mr.furley and larry should of had their own spin off,a reality show:'furley's eye for the uncool guy'. that would of been a ratings winner.:)

well i think tac sucked so bad b/c people wanted to see the girls they grew up watching and i dont think too many people were big on vicky. new era or not. its hard to take an old character alone and make a new sitcom out of it!

ya that is weird. but i think larry is all talk sometimes, and jack too! i thought it was really strange how he would ALWAYS try to do whatever with them. i mean he was always trying something, and yet in a night not to remember he totally freaked when he thought he took advantage of janet. maybe b/c she was mad at him. idk. but i did think it was weird. he acted like that was the worst thing in the world.
