In the list of "Behind The Camera" movie discrepancies on http://www.tv.com/threes-company/behind-the-camera-the-unauthorized-story-of-threes-company/episode/249231/trivia.html, someone wrote the following: "In the movie, they show the filming of the series finale. In the series finale, Terri turns off the light and closes the door to apartment 201. In the movie, Jack turns off the light and closes the door to apartment 291.".

Is this true? I don't have the final episode and can't verify this.

Yes, and if I remember correctly they had Jack close the door in the finale scene when in the actual show it was Terri.

Yup-lol Now you are making me want to see the movie again-lol

hrm... you guys are missing the topic of this thread :P I'm talking about the apartment number! Is it really 291 at the end?

Those "Behind the Camera" movies are pretty trashy, and are always full of errors. The Charlie's Angels one was especially bad. :eek:

hrm... you guys are missing the topic of this thread :P I'm talking about the apartment number! Is it really 291 at the end?

Your question WAS answered by TVAnalyzer. Hrm...apparently you missed it. :P

This movie was a real joke, it was full of mistakes and the apartment number (291) was one of them.

Oh, you're right!

Sorry TVAnalyser!

I nervery notice that in the Movie

I saw the movie again this weekend, because I wasn't sure if in the movie the apartment number was 291, but it was. I didn't see the whole last episode execpt for the last 15 min. and it was Terri who closed the door not Jack.

The movie was pretty good but it did have mistakes in it like the Apt. number and the whole cast was told about the 8th season being the last one in a meeting in Nov. of 83.,before they started to look for a girlfriend for Jack.
In the movie they had Joyce find out the 8th being the last by walking in on auditions for Jack's girlfriend. According to the book about "Three's Company," it didn't happen that way.

Alot of movies and tv series based on true stories are always off base a little.
For example, "Little House on the Prairie" really went off base after Mary went blind, because in the series they had Charles adopt Albert and 2 other kids. In real life Laura's Pa never adopted any kids. They just had the 4 girls and that was it. :)

what channel was the movie on

They just wanted the movie to have more drama. The movie was really just a parody, And you're right about that. I remember TV Guide said that the 8th season was the last in November 1983 and they didn't announce who was playing Vicky at that time.

The real BIG DIFFERENCE here though is that the Three's Company movie could have easily just referenced the t.v. episodes to verify such minute details such as the apartment number, who shut the door, and all the other stupid errors that each of us caught simply because we are fans and we watched the sitcom. How hard could it have been to just pop in a DVD and check out the minor details?

agmfox8 the movie wasn't on tv recently. I taped the movie on my VCR when TV Land aired the movie during a Three's Company Marathon about a year ago. I just watched the movie again on my VCR this past weekend.

Wasn't Joyce DeWitt involved with that movie? You'd think she would have noticed the mistakes.

thanks for letting me know that TV Land aired the movie when was the movie on TV Land

The Mork and Mindy Movie was just as bad-lol Mork never wore his space uniform in a ep, only in the last scene when he reported to Orbit. I wouldn't mind seeing both movies again with some seafood and fruit punch-lol

I never did see the Mork and Mindy movie. I did see the Charlie's Angels one though and that was a parody too. lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Perhaps she didn't have the power to change some things that were considered not really important. In an interview, she said she really wanted Larry to be mentionned in the movie, but they refused probably because he wasn't an important part of the story behind the show.

what year was the movie on TV Land

As outspoken as Joyce was on TC, you'd think her being a part of this movie she'd speak up here too. Why be a part of something that isn't accurate?

Agmfox the "Three's Company Movie was aired on TV Land in 2006 around the same time when Aaron Spelling died. :)

Exactly, What was the point of her being involved with making the movie
if she's not going speak up when it's not done right. Seems like a waste of time.

I think you're right. I read somewhere that by the time she signed up to be in
the movie, the movie was already formatted. I think she was only able to make small changes to the movie. :)

She did speak up. As said in this article (http://www.planetout.com/entertainment/news/?sernum=442), "Although she was disconcerted by the film's negative slant, DeWitt chose to get involved so that someone from the original cast would have some input. DeWitt said there is an enormous difference between the script she originally read and the one that was shot. "Most important, the love that [the cast and crew] had for each other and for doing the show is in the film," she said. "That mattered to me as much as it being as accurate as possible.""

She didn't notice the little things like the address of the apartment, but that's not important.

Little things like that ARE important when fans of the show will see those goofs. You can tell simply by this thread and other threads related to that stupid movie.

If the movie can't get "little things" right, how can we expect them to get the major points of the story correct AND BELIEVE THE STORY AFTER THAT? Seems like they messed up big time. :rolleyes:

Exactly why should we believe any of the behind the scenes stories if they can't even get the easy stuff straight.

That movie should have aired on The Cartoon Network-lol

Well, if it comes out on dvd, it would be one thing Suzanne won't be pushing to sell, I can tell you that much!!!

That movie should have aired on The Cartoon Network-lol
How abt SoapNet instead. ;)

Joyce is right you did see in the movie how the actors put their heart and soul in making the TV series. Espcecially John and her. But the producers of the movie should also have worked a little harder to make the movie more accurate. :)

I wonder why in the movie The Address was not 201

I don't know. I'm just glad for Joyce's sake that Suzanne Somers
didn't sue the producers that made this movie for Libel. :)

You can't win a defamation suit if the facts presented are TRUE. :lol:
