Suzanne Somers is playing her as CHRISSY SNOW not Suzanne Somers. I'm sure Suzanne Somers wasn't an airhead like the character she played on the show. And you can just tell by watching this movie that it was created based on everything that was said on the True Hollywood Story on E!-lol This entire movie is nothing but a joke. Then they were doing one of the Phone scenes and There was never a phone scene with Chrissy saying-"I think I will be here for a while"

I agree. It was entertaining but it was more of a spoof of TC than anything.

Exactly, A SPOOF-lol I just got finished watching the scene when John Ritter was told they want to do a spinoff and he supposed had said-"NO JOYCE? Now we know he didn't say no dumb sh*T like that-lol

Is this the first time you've seen the movie?

I don't think I watched the entire movie when it first aired. I just saw the scene when Joyce gets mad about not being on Three's a Crowd-lol

I saw it when it first aired. I had a big test the next day and I said I am going to stay up and watch this, it will be fun. It stunk so bad. I had a part of it on earlier today and it's even worse the second time I saw it.

Now a good "docudramedy" about TV shows is Surviving Gilligan's Island. They did about 1000 times better on that one.

Matt do you have the True Hollywood story of Three's Companyfrom E!

no, I have seen it though, and that is how a documentary is suppose to be.

I think I might have the John Ritter and Suzanne Sommers True Hollywood Stories though. I can't remember if I taped those or if I borrowed them from someone.

This movie was very disappointing. :(

That documentary was good. I think it had Norman Fell's last interview on it.

I really liked the movie. I think it finally showed Suzanne as her true self, a selfish, vain, ego-driven, insensitive, money hungry b*tch. :)

I disagree, it showed that her HUSBAND was the selfish, vain, money hungry IDIOT-lol

True, but she did everything he told her to do, and she was the one who pointed to the picture of Farrah and said, "I want that."

Oh another anti Suzanne post :rolleyes:

Oh another anti Suzanne post :rolleyes:

As someone who watched from episode 1- original broadcast - I have to say, when Suzanne Sommer left the show it was definitely pointed out that she was the one who caused the rift. Her husband especially. I don't know how I can remember that specifically, but for a 10 year old mind I could grasp that he was a real tool. I'm not kidding.

which PROVES that she was indeed an airhead and a dumb blonde Solomon, because she couldn't stand up for herself and speak for herself; she had to PAY people to do that...:rolleyes: :mad:

I wonder was her husband on some type of medication because why the hell would he ask he producers could suzanne play Jack's Wife on Three's a Crowd?-lol After that big fall out in 81 it's no way that he was n't on some type of DRUGS for him to actually ask that ridiculous question about Suzanne being on THree's a Crowd

Not reading or looking into facts, I would have assumed he was a coked up power freak who was with a woman way out of his league.

that's a guess.

Yea I remember that. I always thought he was dumb that he thought she was the star of the show because anyone on that show could have been replaced except John Ritter.

I was mad at Suzanne for a long time but I moved on. :lol:

All in all, I think everything worked out for the best with the "three blonde mates."

They were all so different from one another.

I'm glad all this happened........ because if not, there would have been no Priscilla, and we couldn't have that now could we? ;)

That's true and I do like Priscilla too. I think in the long run all the changes did help because it kept the show more fresh. You got the Chrissy and Roper years and then you get into Mr. Furley and Larry becomes a bigger character and then you get 2 different characters with Cindy and Terri. I liked them all. :)

Oh another anti Suzanne post :rolleyes:

Hey, I'm just stating fact. She DID screw up the show wether you're a fan of hers or not.

That's old news though. Just go back through the old threads and you'll find she's been called every name in the book. I've never defended what she did. I just get tired of hearing about it all the time.

That's very true!! It was mainly about her and her money issues.

True, they did, but I personally liked the movie because I hate Suzanne(for many reasons), but that's just my opinion.

I expected more out of it.

I wish they had done more with it and had expanded on what was going on behind the scenes with the other actors and characters.

Their was so much more they could have went into. The Terri years were pretty much ignored. Larry was hardly on it and I thought the Don Knotts actor acted a lot like Mr. Furley. :lol:

I thought the casting was done well though. The lady who played Mrs. Roper sounded just like her!!

I know, This movie was so incomplete and GOOFY

I think the point of the movie was BECAUSE OF THE DRAMA Suzanne brought to the studio, the show, the cast, etc. However, it is misleading because the movie gave the impression that it would be abt ALL the actors and how the show came abt.

Notice when they showed the "finale" scene, they had Terri in her nurse uniform? She didn't wear it when the trio left the apartment for the last time.

Interesting also how Joyce had a part in the movie talking to the audience. I guess she agreed the movie needed to be shown this way.

I'm surprised thdy didn't have the Ropers at Janet's Wedding-lol

Yeah, It would have been nice to see them again.

They should have and Cindy too but they were to worried about TAC than ending TC right. They made us wait until September just to see the final episode so it would be a great jump start to TAC.

NO-lol I was saying that I'm surprised that in the BEHIND THE SCENES movie they didn't have the Ropers at the Wedding since everything else was wrong-lol

Oh. :rofl: Yea I'm surprised too. I think the movie was made by people who weren't fans of the show. They were more interested in a tabloid type of movie. :lol:

I noticed this last night. Right after I watched it, I noticed TV Land was airing the final episode. I also noticed that Terri was the last one to leave and close the door. In the movie, they show Jack shutting the door from behind the set.

This was the first time I had seen this movie. Honestly, I found the whole Suzanne drama to be dragged out and boring.

Does anyone know what series they were talking about that would never air starring Suzanne? It can't be "She's The Sheriff". Didn't that series actually air? :confused:

Unfortunalty-lol

I really don't know which show they were talking about though

This was my first time watching it, and the movie wasn't that great, but I enjoyed it. It was too much about Suzanne in the whole movie and I would have liked to see how it affected John, Joyce, and everyone else like at home or something. They didn't have that many lines I don't think about their feelings when Suzanne left.

I hate that Alan guy though, lol. The one part where Suzanne went to Jay's office and said she wasn't dumb cracked me up haha. Plus I don't think she really looked like Suzanne that much. Maybe if she put more make-up on or something. I do think though that the girl who played Joyce looked like her, and the guy who played John kind of looked like him at different angles.

That's what I would like to know too. And Suzanne couldn't have been that dumb to try and act like Chrissy on a CBS Sitcom could she?-lol

It was never Suzanne's idea to get more money than John and Joyce. She wanted all three of them to get a raise, but Alan, her husband and manager, wanted her to get more money because he looked at it strictly from the business aspect (yes, she wanted to be like Farrah, but hello, she was an up and coming actress in Hollywood on ABC in the late 1970s. Who didn't want to have Farrah's career at the time?).

The Suzanne hate annoys me to no end, because so many people have the story twisted and don't know the real thing. Suzanne and John made up right before his death, and I really hope that Joyce and Suzanne can get together before it's too late.

Yeah she was. She was basically taking the Chrissy character onto another show. Which is why she was threatened with a lawsuit because she didn't "own" the character of Chrissy. She (Alan) stated Suzanne "created" Chrissy...not true. The writers did.

Yea I agree. I don't think Suzanne was right about how she did it She faked being sick and wasn't respectful of her co-workers and then she went on talk shows and trashed everyone but nowadays everyone in a hit show's tries to get more money. I remember the cast of ELR all held out except Ray Romano one time and look at the Friends cast. The difference was they held out together. Suzanne should have tried to get John and Joyce to back her up instead of doing what she did. The thing is ABC already had it in their mind to make an example of the next person who did this after what had happened with Farrah. Suzanne was under the impression that she was more important then she was. That was her big mistake.

I don't understand all the hate either. I was angry at her for a long time but it's hard for me to hate someone I don't even know.

That's true and I do like Priscilla too. I think in the long run all the changes did help because it kept the show more fresh.

Yeah.

As entertaining as Chrissy and the Ropers were, the changes kept things fresh. Don Knotts was my favorite replacement. I couldn't picture the show without him.

I really liked the movie. I think it finally showed Suzanne as her true self, a selfish, vain, ego-driven, insensitive, money hungry b*tch. :)

amen to that:)
i loved it too.

Then they were doing one of the Phone scenes and There was never a phone scene with Chrissy saying-"I think I will be here for a while"

While watching the marathon this past weekend, Chrissy did, in fact, have a line saying that her mom was getting better, but that she'd be there for a while.

I'm going to watch every Phone scene right now and I'm 98% sure that Chrissy never said that she will be there for a while.

Does anyone know what series they were talking about that would never air starring Suzanne? It can't be "She's The Sheriff". Didn't that series actually air? :confused:

It's not because I know that Priscilla auditioned and got the part in the pilot of "She's the Sheriff", but then Suzanne Somers replaced her. Kinda ironic....

I also don't remember Janet, on the other end, saying this line on the show: "Well, I have to go, Jack glued himself to Mr. Furley, It's a long story"

I also don't remember Janet, on the other end, saying this line on the show: "Well, I have to go, Jack glued himself to Mr. Furley, It's a long story"


Maybe that was a phone scene that never made it to syndication-lol

Maybe. It probably didn't get big laughs in during the first run. :lol:

No, there was no actual line about Jack being glued to Mr. Furley.

However, Chrissy did say her mom was getting better, but would be there for a while. I remember it because I immediately said to my son, "If she's getting better, why does she have to stay? Her father is a minister and isn't gone all day."

I really hope that Joyce and Suzanne can get together before it's too late.

I'm not sure where I saw it (DVD extras, E! True Hollywood Story, or where), but I seem to recall Joyce saying that she and Suzanne had "talked". I don't know if you could call that reconciliation, but what I got from it was that time healed that wound to a point. Probably not completely, but it's hard to be mad at someone forever.

Watched all Chrissy Phone Scenes today and she never said in any of them that she would be at her mother's for a while. She said her mom was better but nothing about being there for a while.

LOL...it was full of errors...i wanna know also why he liked it.

It was full of errors.I don't think Joyce & Suzanne made out before the first time the show was on TV,the trio lived in 201 and the outside of the set showed that it was 291,they never had a thanksgiving episode,the real show had Terri turn off the lights then closed the door and they showed Jack turning off the lights then closed the door(well that would've made more sense),and many more.The only thing I have to say is that they picked a good set of characters to play them because they all looked very similar to the real cast.Don't ya think?

Yeah she was. She was basically taking the Chrissy character onto another show. Which is why she was threatened with a lawsuit because she didn't "own" the character of Chrissy. She (Alan) stated Suzanne "created" Chrissy...not true. The writers did.
Source, please?

Because the TC episode of E! True Hollywood Story distinctly talks about Suzanne ocassionally falling into the Chrissy character while doing her Las Vegas act. They said nothing about her trying to play Chrissy on a CBS sitcom.

Her sitcom NEVER aired on CBS...i remember when this whole TC fallout was going on and I was reading abt this new sitcom of hers that was going to air but later she was threatened by ABC if she continued with the sitcom because of the character basically being another Chrissy. I was a fan of the show since it's first run. I would read up on it in magazines/articles.

Her doing an OCCASIONAL Chrissy on Vegas has nothing to do with what she had planned on doing while she was UNDER contract with ABC, and shortly after her exit from ABC. There's a big difference. CBS is ANOTHER NETWORK. Vegas is not.
