Hmm, I think it would. Despite the 70's flair, the comedy in the show remains timeless. I think it could work. Then again, you never know with our reality show driven society... :crazy:

While most sitcoms in the last 10 years have been kind of influenced by this show ( Friends of both sexes living together , no parents for miles , shooting sexual inuendo at each other), I think the non-PC things like "dumb blondes" and an overt anti-gay undertone, simply wouldnt make it in todays world

I guess, but Three's Company was harmless and pretty diluted - shows like Will and Grace would just make Three's Company look bad in todays world.

No it wouldn't make it because the show was actually funny and today's sitcoms aren't.

never know if will and Grace could last this long mabye Three;s company could2.even though i never watch will n Grace would be cool if Mr Furley could become their landlord or neighbor and end up visiting now n then.be kind like being back where he started.

but anyway if they did it just right with the right people it could last just dont have david spade on it and it be great.lol.3s company rules.

It could make it.

Jack Tripper... Joshua Jackson
Janet... Katie Holmes or Jessica Alba
Chrissy... Jessica Simpson
Mr Roper... Rodney Dangerfield
Mrs Roper... Queen Latifah (now there is a twist, huh ;)
Larry... Matt Damon (as a guest star, maybe 5 or 6 episodes per year)

I think that's true because back in the 70s & 80s,it wasn't that normal for a man to live with 2 guys,vice versa or for a man and a woman living together without being married.Now,most people can care less

No. None of the sitcoms of old would make it. The world is no longer interested in family values or clean fun. It's all about sex and violence anymore. :(
