I didnt like threes a crowd much but I did love the theme song to the show and wish they did it as a record at the time but I guess it wasnt popular enough of a song to make it to a record or CD. :confused:

I can't stand the show at all, but the theme song is much worse-lol

I liked TAC. It just needed some work to make it much better but I'd rather watch it than most of todays sitcoms. :D

It was much better than the Ropers-lol And it was much better than season 1 of Three's Company

I didn't care for the show either but the set up was bad .I didn't like how they had Jack and Janet end up with people I couldn't have care less about.It made the end of Three's Company bad too.

If you ever see the Ropers spinoff I'm sure you will like Three's A Crowd a Lot better

I have seen the Roper's and no it wasn't great but Three's A Crowd was bad too.Three's Company didn't do spinoffs well.

It was better than Quark, now that was BAD

NO-lol


Come on Matt, Jack was still tripping over things in Three's a Crowd-lol

Three's a Crowd was good. How many episodes did you actually watch? It was still like Three's Company to me.

Exactly, I can still watch all 9 ABC of Three's a Crowd I have and laugh everytime. Plus all the scenes at the Bistro still gives it the Three's Company Feel

I have seen about 7 or 8.

Jack may have still been clumsy, but it wasn't the same kind. Now it was like he was trying to do it for laugh instead of naturally (yes I know he was acting in both, but it seemed planned what he would do here where as Three's Company it was more adlibing)

I really Like Three's A Crowned I wish Threes A Crowned on Nick@Nite or TV Land

It was a boring show.

I suppose no spionoff on Three's Company will live up to Three's Company.

I heard that they will.

How could the show have been boring with Jack Tripper in it? I think Boring is the Wrong word

Vicky might have been boring but the show wasn't because of Jack.

I liked the show and all the characters.

why

I loved the show and still do, as an eight year old at the time I didn't understand what a spin-off show was I just accepted the fact that Jack left the apartment to live with Vicki.

I suppose no spionoff on Three's Company will live up to Three's Company.

By spinning off, the show basically dumped all of the loyal supporting cast members. And the audience obviously wasn't happy about that.

The ratings were about the same as they were during the last season of TC and they were improving as the season went on. If ABC would have renewed it, it might have caught on. Who's the Boss was low rated during it's first season and GP which replaced TAC became a huge hit.- The biggest problem was the A-Team.

I was surprised at the huge drop in ratings from season 7 to 8. Season 7 it was #6 and season 8 it was #33. So TC couldnt compete with Riptide on NBC?lol That aired on NBC at 9pm and finished #18 after 1983-84 season

The whole ABC Tuesday night lineup was falling that year. HD was in it's last year and so was Hart to Hart. You had 2 awful sitcoms in the lineup in Just Our Luck and Oh Madeline. Just as HD and L&S had made TC a hit. The A-Team did the same with Riptide and Remington Steele.

As others have pointed out (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/1acnmye/comment/kjwq8z3/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), the problem with Three's a Crowd is that when compared to Three's Company, it seemed very negative and I suppose, bitter and cynical. The show's premise was built on the idea of Jack's new girlfriend's refusing to marry him because of her own parents' divorce. And then, we have said girlfriend's father really hating Jack and doing anything that he could (whether it be through lies or manipulation) to try and break them up.

Hold on, did Mr. Bradford actually tell lies?

I agree though that the premise overall had a negative tone to it.

Vicky would be a dream girl for most guys today. Lets live together and not worry about marriage:lol:

We wouldnt be together because we have to it will be because we want to

Why does Jack even want to continue being with Vicky if she doesn't want to marry him? Unless I'm missing something, why would you as a man still want to be around a woman who's emphatic about the fact that unlike you, she doesn't want to get married? The whole thing, to me just makes Jack look and pardon my language for a moment, p-whipped. The two of them simply put, were never going to be on the same type of wavelength.

It isn't like Vicky is the first girlfriend or romantic relationship that Jack has ever been in. I would probably get it more if this was Jack's first real or serious relationship and he's being really careful to not "screw it up". I also get the idea that Jack realizes that he's getting older and maybe he needs to settle down sooner or later, but why with this girl?

What's exactly so special about Vicky that he's even willing to put up with her father, despite the fact that he's an a-hole for no apparent reason other than he doesn't want his unmarried daughter to be living with a man. I mean, when Jack was living with Janet and Chrissy, I don't think that their fathers (and keep in mind that Chrissy's dad was a reverend) had much of an issue with them living with Jack. Quite frankly, I don't know if I really want to be with a woman if I don't like her dad and I think that he's going out of his way to ruin my life.

98% of men today would love a situation like Jack and Vicky

The in-law, in this case the potential father-in-law, being difficult toward the adult children's suitor is a very common theme for TV series and films. In this case, being a sitcom, it's no surprise that Bradford is an exaggerated character. A good example is when Jack indicates to him he's having temporary trouble with impotence: Bradford laughs in his face. That wouldn't fly for a drama series.

Bradford's disapproval was placed at the core of the series -- without that, it would've been a very different show. So we can try to analyze all day "why" Jack puts up with it, but the writers saw it as the main source of their material and made it ongoing.

People continue to comment as to why Endora is so mean to Darrin on Bewitched -- the series ran with that and I don't see much point in being puzzled about it decades afterward. But the difference is that Bewitched was a big success, so we can't point to that animosity and say it was detrimental -- while in the case of Three's a Crowd, there was no success.
