Did anyone like the Cindy character? I really was disappointed with the czsting of Jennilee Harrison. I just didn't think she was that funny. I think the casting was rushed and the producers did not take the time to find the right actress. To even try to fill Suzanne Somer's shoes, no way. I guess that's why they created Teri, and I have to say, to get Priscilla Barnes in that role was amazing. I loved her. The character was not even trying to be a Chrissy replacement.
I think Jennilee was fantastic in Dallas, and I think drama is a much better genre for her than comedy.

I really enjoyed the character of Chrissy. I understand why the network replaced Suzanne Somers. I did like Cindy, but nowhere near as much as Chrissy. Chrissy was a riot.

I liked both characters and feel that Cindy was pretty good, she was the perfect foil for Jack. What made her funny was her clumsyness. I finally got use to Terri by season 7, she was a pretty good actress.

Cindy was alright, but I definitely prefer Chrissy over her.

Although Jennilee Harrison's dramatic acting in DALLAS was much better than her on Three's Company, I didn't like having her play that character on DALLAS. I think they could have found someone else. She just wasn't convincing as a girl who knew the oil business and so forth. Then again, I just hated that whole storyline to begin with.

I actually liked Cindy. The Cindy character took a lot of heat beacuse she replaced Suzanne Somers. But face it, as much as I liked Chrissy, her character deserved to be written off. Suzanne thought she was the show?! No way! The chrissy character was too dumb in season four. Cindy (and Jenilee Harrison) deserved a lot of credit because ahe came in as a patch up and did what she was told to do....and didn't have much experience as an actress. I found Cindy hilarious in a lot of ways. The show was still funny. If they developed the Cindy character a little more, she would have gotten a little more respect. But I liked all the blond roomates in their own way. I wish I could have seen all three of them in the same scene.

I like Cindy but she doesn't compare to Chrissy. I thought Chrissy was much funnier.

I agree! I thought Chrissy in season 4 was way too dumb. The character was ruined and Suzanne wasn't as pretty anymore.

Jenilee and Joyce had zero chemistry. You can tell Joyce didn't like her.

Cindy's funniest moments were with Jack. They should have put her in Three's a Crowd instead of Vicky. The show would have been much funnier.

I agree, but if they did that Joyce would have really been pissed, LOL.

I liked Cindy. She was alright. But I do have to say that I liked Chrissy a lot more. She was so much more funny and talented than Jenilee.

I liked both characters but I did like Chrissy more. I do agree that they made her to dumb though. Jenilee didn't have any experience and she did fiine in her role. Some of my favorite episodes happened when Cindy was on the show and I agree Kevin, she was great on Dallas. I can't believe they killed her off. Overall though the Chrissy from the first 3 seasons was my favorite female roommate.

I liked how CIndy got herself to live in the apartment by being very clever and flattering Janet & Furley

Loved them both, but if I had to choose, I actually like Cindy better. She's my favorite of the blondes. :)

I liked Terri from the start but it took me the second time around to like Cindy

CHrissy & Cindy have something in common.Not only are they both pretty blondes and have the same last name,but they both accidently hit Jack with the kitchen door

I actually liked all 3 blond room mates in their own way. But, they did make Chrissy act dumber as the seasons went on. Some things were funny, & others got annoying. I agree with Janet Tripper's post above, that Cindy was funny in an innocent way. Jennilee tried too hard to fill Suzanne's shoes, but then Terri came in & broke the mold of the "dumb blonde" & was assertive in being her own person.

I think she was the least exciting character. Still funny, but not as good as Chrissy.

I don't remember Chrissy hitting Jack with the door. Cindy, yes, but Chrissy?

Cindy was definitely better than Chrissy. Terri was the best female roomate next to Janet but Chrissy was definitely the worst!!

They were both excellent. Chrissy was the standard. Cindy was an effective bridge to the Terri Alden seasons. Terri was the refined blonde of the group. I enjoyed all of their work and for what it's worth, I have to give all the credit in the world to the execs of the show for hiring them all on.

I liked Chrissy alot better that Cindy. Having the Cindy character constantly causing Jack to trip all the time got old real fast. Chrissy and Terri were tied for the 1st place as the 3rd roomate and Cindy as a distant third. I like Jennille ( hope I spelled her name right) alot better on Dallas.:)
