I am going to post this in the Three's Company and Seinfeld boards because I want to get opinions from both sides. Some of you may disagree with me and find this far fetched, but I don't. Hopefully, some of you may agree with me. I am sure most people may not think of Seinfeld and Three's Company in the same thought.

I am a huge fan of both Three's Company and Seinfeld. In my area of New York, Seinfeld comes on Fox at 11:00 PM and Three's Company comes on at 11:30 on TV Land.

Watching these shows back to back, I noticed that Kramer has a lot of the same moves as Jack Tripper, when they do their "clumsy" acts (i.e. tripping over things, etc). I am not sure if that is a coincidence, but they are definitely both the favorite character in their show.

When Michael Richards was on Fridays in the 80's, I noticed that he had the same moves as Kramer, but Fridays was closer to Three's Company in airing dates. So, I find it possible that Michael Richards could be a John Ritter fan.

Just an observation.

Kramer did something Jack did in an episode.He had to make the manachan look like his girlfriend so a woman would leave him alone just like Jack had to make the CPR dummy look like his wife so Angelino's daughter would leave him alone

Another good point of the two of them being the same. I forgot about Jack with the CPR dummy. Also when Kramer kissed the mannequin, it fell apart just like Jack's did.

Thanks for the clarification!

Another funny coincidence is how they did that episode with the dummy and then years later Weekend at Bernie's comes out featuring a TC guest star (one of the best I might add!)

Terry Kiser?
