I have a bunch of funny moments to share about the show. First of all the funniest moment was when Jack woke up in his bed with Mr. Roper after he got drunk at his wild party. I loved the episode when Mr. Roper thought Helen had weeds in her flower arrangement contest, that he smashed it. He was told by the judge it was not weed and Helen was pissed. She hit her husband with her purse and a guy snapped a picture of that. That was funny. There was also the time when Mr. Roper read the Wanda X diary that Chrissy was typing and he thought she had the hots for her. Another funny moment was when Mr. Roper was fixing his bathroom sink pipes and overheard the conversation between Chrissy, Jack, and some girl(Janet wasn't on this episode.) He thought Chrissy was pregnant and wanted an abortion while she really was complaining about getting rid of her ugly wort. I laughed so hard! Oh, and I liked the time when Jack and Mr. Furley learned the B.A.R.C. method and was barking at each other.

Definitely the entire episode of 'Up in the Air' where Jack and Janet go to a party and has a drink of 'the rocket' and flips out. John Ritter was actually nominated for an Emmy for that episode but lost, somehow. The stunts and the lines helped make this the best episode ever, in my opinion. Can't wait till it's on Nick-at-Nite.

Madness,
John won that Emmy...he beat Sherman Hemsely and others...

Maybe you are thinking of 1999 when John was nominated for Guest on Ally and lost..

John DIDN'T win the Emmy award that year. John won the Emmy in 1984 for the episode titled 'Cupid works overtime'(This is when Jack meets Vicky). In 1984, he beat Ted Danson, Robert Guillaume, Dabney Coleman and Sherman Hemsley. The 'Up in the Air' episode aired on May 4,1982 where John lost. That's the one I was talking about where he didn't win the Emmy but he deserved it. In fact, John Ritter also said that was by far, his favorite episode! All of this information came from the 'Come and Knock on Our Door' book.

John never got nominated then for that episode, because he himself said that he was nominated once and won it...

Pavanbadal,

You have your facts messed up. John WAS nominated for the Up in the Air episode and lost. He also was nominated and WON for Cupid Works Overtime. Here is the EXACT part of the quote from John himself in the book. ____________________________________________
"[Up in the Air"] is my favorite, by far. That's one when I was nominated for an Emmy. I didn't win the Emmy for that one; I won it for the one which introduced Mary Cadorette["Cupid Works Overtime"]. But this is the one I was happiest with.

He then goes on and talks about the other episodes he liked.

Madness,
Sorry about that, I checked IMDB and they didnt mention that, I checked the Chris Mann book, you are right...I'm so sorry, I'm ashamed...especially on my favorite show and actor...

Sorry Yanks, funniest moments has to be where Roper and Jack are in bed, Jack drinks the rocket, Furley over hears Jack and Chrissy in the shower, Janet overhears Jack and Chrissy in the kitche, and Roper's Camera Mug!

Madness, who was nominated that year when John was nominated for Up in the Air? I still am a little skeptical on that, I just re-read that page on the Chris Mann book, and it seems he wasn't nominated...Can you tell me who were the nominees?

My favorite funniest moment is Jack playing his twin brother Austin with the cowboy hat behind the sofa with Mr. Furley. That is the funniest moment to me. It's my favorite episode. I LOVE IT!!!

Another funny moment on 3's Co. is when Jack dates Roper's niece; especially the part when she strips down to her nightie, makes out with Jack, and Roper catches them in the act. I loved the part when the kids were trying to hide the puppy from the Ropers. I also found it hilarious when Roper ate the dog food and loved it better than his wife's cooking(which he said it was fit for a dog!) I loved the moment on Home Videos when Mrs. Roper is putting on a lot of perfume before bed so her husband notices it. Mr. Roper gets into bed and his wife leans closer to him. He said, "What's that awful smell?" Mrs. Roper says, "It's my new perfume. It's called 'Now or Never'." then Roper says it's half right anyway and goes to sleep. I loved it when he was hiding his porn magazines from his wife.

Another funny moment, Jack's old navy buddy, Jim Walsh, ruins dinner for the kids and the Ropers. It was funny how he kept saying, "Hit me!" to Jack. I laughed so hard while watching it. It was on last night during the Make Your Own Sunday.

The absolute funniest episode for me was the one where Terri is dating a psychiatrist and the roommates mistakenly think he is a mental patient that she brought home from work! I think Jeffrey Tambor played the doctor. Hilarious!!!!!

I think that the funniest moment on Three's Company is a classic scene between Lana and Jack in the woods, where he is in the bushes nude, and Lana [looking at Jack like one hot piece of meat] tries to help him out, and it turns into one big slapstick scene between them. Lana was really funny you've got to admit.

Lana: Jack, will you fix my lightbulb.
Jack: I can't right now.
Lana: You can up up to my apartment, turn the lightbulb on.
Lana: Then maybe you can turn it off, and turn me on!

the funniest moment ever on the opening scenes are when Stanley is reading a magazine in bed, and Helen jumps in with him and he pretends to be sleeping!
