That's one of my favorites as well.

I think my very favorite is when he hits Jack in the face with the flowers in "Dying to Meet You". No matter how many times I see that, I always laugh.

Another one of my favorites is in "Macho Man" when he comes running into the apartment screaming "HURRY UP!! HURRY UP!!!". I remember the first time I saw that I laughed so hard.

I'm sure there is more but these are my top favorites that I can think of right now.

-Paradise Lost: I love the scene in the kitchen where Furley and Larry
are getting drunk.


-Chrissy's Hospitality: He's in the livingroom and he's listening to Jack
and Chrissy arguing about the shower curtain and he thinks their having or
about to have sex. lmao!

The episode where Jack hosts a sunday brunch at his bistro and Mr. Furley
is supposed to be the wine steward. He gets drunk, starts a fight with Felipe by telling him how to cook.

Reverend Gilmore: This man is inebriated!
Furley: I am not. *he smiles* I am bombed.

Dying to meet you- I loved how he just hit jack in the face. I mean Don's face never broke character. As for the others they all had to cover up a laugh. He was good.....

The episode where he and Janet had lunch at the restaurant where Jack was working, the way he ordered French food with an English pronunciation was so funny. "I'll have some of these escargots. The soup dujour and mouse line sole." I always loved that scene.

Also, anytime he had something to drink that he really couldn't handle, but he always said "smoooth" That cracked me up everytime. Don Knotts was great on this show.

It's a toss up for me. I LOVE the "Open the Damn door!" speech and when he hits Jack with the flowers in "Dying to Meet You". Another moment I love is when Mr. Furley is putting a new window in at the kids apartment and Terri says, "Drop everything and come with me!" So he drops the glass and breaks it, then yells "DAMN!" before Terri pulls him away! :lol: Stapling the wallpaper up at Jack's Bistro was pretty funny too. :D

"I NEVER TOUCHED THAT GIRL!!!!!!!!!! When Jack told Mr. Furley "You just ruined that girl" in reference to Mr. Furley having bought the entire cosmetic package that Chrissy was selling. Mr. Furley wanted to get her outta the apt. so he and Larry and Jack could continue playing "Strip Poker" LMAO. I love that episode and especially when he says that part!!!!!:lol:

Remember "Eyewitness Blues?" Furley trying to wake up the undercover cop, and his interactions with the robber were really funny. Also in "Macho Man," he and Jack were exchanging a conversation without moving their lips. I also liked "Urban Plowboy," where Furley rolls in the hay with Cindy's Aunt Becky.

That was a great one!!!! Especially when Furley said he was an expert on French cuisine! :lol:

I liked Mr. Furley's scenes with Lana. And how he always thought she liked him! :lol: Poor Mr. Furley! :lol:

I LOVE the one where Jack was trying to find a name for his Bistro and RF suggested "Froggy's"... that was great :lol: :lol: :lol: There are many more, but that's all I can think of off hand.

Wow, there are so many! I guess my faves would have to be in "Dying to Meet You" hehe.
One of my faves is also when he gets mistaken for 'soliciting' in the Regal Beagle! :lol:

Or when he's trying to fix the lock on the door and he says:
Furley:A heard of elephants couldn't get through there!
(Cindy busts in)
Jack:Well?
Furley: Don't see any elephants do ya?

And of course, "Double Trouble"
Furley: (slurred) It's okay Jack. He apologized.

Man, too many to even think about! My parents say I do a GREAT impression of him doing "Smooth". :lol:

Some of my favorite Furleyisms:

After he tries to cook the hamburgers and the thing blows up, he comes in all burnt and yells, "if you want your hamburgers, they're up in a tree!"

When he has the paper bag over his head and starts to get all light-headed..

And, of course, Furley and Jack, after they both take the assertiveness classes, barking at each other like vicious dogs!:lol: :lol:

:rofl: I LOVED that.


I agree with Macho Man. That was a great Furley episode. When he went running in to the apartment, screaming his head off, I think I died laughing so hard. I also loved the part where he was trying to communicate with Jack through the jail cell :lol:

Another moment was in Janet Shapes Up when he's "exercising"! That was so funny :D

Gotta love his smooth, ladies man attitude :lol: It was so funny to watch him strike out.


All this talk about Mr. Furley is making me so sad :( I miss Don!

"RALPH FURLEY SEX OBJECT!!!" When Janet asked him to go w/her and her boss to dinner!! In A Night Not to Remember!

I do'nt know the exact quote to this one but the one where Mr. Furley was telling Janet how he goes up to a girl at the bar, he is like "I sidle up to the girl and then say 'Hey good looking what's cooking'" and then he thinks for a sec. and he is like "and she says and she says"...and since they pay no attention to him he asks Janet what she was waiting for!!! I love RF!!! He rocked!

Ah, that is one of the best!
How about his fainting spell when Jack sneezed in the coffin. Pretty funny:). Or the expression on his face when he overheard the conversation with Jack and Chrissy in the bathroom when they were trying to put up the shower curtain.

Dying To Meet You-where he faints after thing Jack was dead

Chrissy's Hospitality-Where he he keeps thinking something's going on between the trio

Oh Nun-where he says to the phone holding the note Jack & Larry made "BIG TROUBLE!LOOK AT THIS!"

A Night Not To Remember-where he says "well it is a friday night,you know Ralph Furley" which Terri replies "see,he isn't doing anything"

Some of my Furley moments off the top of my head:
- "escarGOTS" & soup dujour
- "Double Trouble"- great Ritter/Knotts episode.
- In the epsiode "Extra Extra" where he's telling the kids how you got to know how to handle these paper editors and reads out "according to their gay landlord Ralph Furley" and doesn't even realize what he's just read for a few seconds.
- In "Honest Jack Tripper" where he is telling Jack how he is in a dry spell with the ladies (last date was February two years ago)
- Mr. Furley is in his apartment staring in the mirror and says: "I better not look too long, I might fall in love"
- I too love the "Well it is a Friday night...and you know 'ol Ralph Furley"

I'll add more later. Mr. Furley has always been one of my favorite parts of Three's Company (as is Mr. Roper)- the best television switch-off/replacement ever. They were both so damn good.

My favorite has to be when Jack and Mr. Furley had to bring a huge piece of meat and the robber asked them for stuff and Mr. Furley said I have nothing except for this watch and then he said "DAMN!" Too hilarious, that is my favorite episode :D

It has to be after the strip poker game when he walks outside holding only a couple of pillows yelling to Lana, "I feel lucky, sweetheart....can't we do it one more time?", and the police officer tells him to hold out his hands to be handcuffed. Realizing he would have to drop what was hiding his bare body to do so, he says to the cop, "Have a heart." :)

Another one that really cracked me up was in Double Trouble where he goes into Jack's room to "talk to Austin" then comes out and says "It's alright Jack.He apologized."Then Jack,Janet and Cindy all have a shocked look on their faces. :lol: The first time I saw that episode,I couldn't stop laughing when he said that

Some of you already mentioned "Dying to Meet You", but nobody has mentioned the scene where Mr. Furley faints for the second time. Mr. Furley first hears Janet and Cindy tell max that Jack has died, faints for the first time there. But afterwards, he gets up after the girls have left and he engages in a brief conversation with Max. Unfortunately, this dialogue has been edited out in Nick-at-Nite reruns. I will have to say that Max' last night is one of the best ever quotes from Three's Company:

Furley: "Did they say that Jack was dead?"
Max: "That's what they said."
Furley: "Oh, I feel horrible!"
Max: "Me too. I wanted to kill him myself."

After Max' last line, Mr. Furley quickly stares at Max in total disbelief, and then he faints again. Perhaps Nick-at-Nite felt that Max' last line was way too morbid and that's why this scene has been edited out.
