10. Not having it connected to the start of Three's a Crowd

9. Closing out the Furley character

8. Closing out the Larry character

7. Bringing the Cindy character back to attend Janet's wedding

6. Explaining why Terri was moving to Hawaii

5. Bringing the Ropers back to attend Janet's wedding

4. Having the wedding somewhere else besides the apartment

3. Having the wedding reception somewhere else besides furley apt

2. Having the Ropers, Cindy, Furely, Larry, and the trio all at the Beagle one last time

1. Having everyone back at the apartment before everyone goes their seperate ways and when everyone is leaving have JANET be the last one to look in the apt one last time before shutting the door since she lived their the longest



What do you think?:lol:

10. Not having it connected to the start of Three's a Crowd - I never liked the Vicki character and thought it was a pretty weak premise with such a short introduction to the character

9. Give Furley an opening for his own spin-off

8. Heck, I would've made Larry and Furley roomates - two swingin' bachelors loose in the big city.

7. Bringing the Cindy character back to attend Janet's wedding - i would've tried to bring back some of the more colorful characters from thoughout the show's run, maybe even bring back the long-lost original roommate that Jack replaced

6. i don't know if anyone cared that much, but I thought they did explain why Terri was moving to Hawaii

5. Janet's storyline was very rushed - if they wanted to marry her off, they should've made it a season-long story with a better character, I also would've had janet become the owner of her own flower shop

4. Having the wedding somewhere else besides the apartment - that was definitely a little weird - way too small of a room

3. see #2

2. the gang all should've ended up at the Beagle one last time - I would've had the reception THERE.

1. I would've made it a 1-hour or full TV-movie special - I also would've had it end the same way it began with a big party and Jack passing out drunk in the tub

What was the reason for Terri Moving to Hawaii?

What was the reason for Terri Moving to Hawaii?
Wasn't it some nursing thing? Idk, I think she only briefly mentioned it once. There was only like a minute spent on Terri's departure when the rest of the episode revolved around Janet's marriage and Jack moving in with that girl.

Watching it now and she said wanted to be a nurse in Hawaii because she would be more useful:crazy:

- seriously if you had a good job opportunity in Hawaii, wouldn't you take it?

what do you think of Larry and Furley as roommates?

Larry needed a new wingman with Jack tied down

It was time for Furley to get a companion at his age. He was too old to be a wingman:lol:

What made it crazy was she never mentioned anything in previous episodes about going for a job in Hawaii just came out with it in the last episode out of nowhere

It would have been great for Furley if Lana came back and fell madly in love with him! The two could run off together to Tahiti! :lol:

Not sure why they couldn't close out furley with a nice lady. The show ends with him being a lonely old man with no one to be with :lol:

And that is so sad. I like weird, nutty, fun lovin' Furley. I hated that the show didn't have a happy ending for him.

In an older episode where the gang thought Furley was going to commit suicide, he (Furley) had a big crush on brother Bart's secretary Nancy. Nancy even came to Furley's party. She could have come back for the finale, too, and run off with Furley. I liked Furley with Nancy.

That Nancy lady was also on All in the Family as "Boom-Boom Turner." :lol:

Furley had a chance to get a woman in season 7, took her back to his apartment and then she wanted to make out but he was SCARED???????? And not only that he got her back together with her ex-husband LMAO

I will watch that episode tonight, one of the best of season 7

Yes Janet owning her own flower shop would have been great.

I did always ship Furley with Nancy haha. Funny that I'm not the only one who thought that. She was fun and I liked her for him. It was a shame that she never came back around.

They should have given Teri more of a send off then just one line that she's going to Hawaii. Furley and Larry should have had closure especially Furley who now was left in that building alone. They should have introduced Vicky & Phillip much earlier. They tried to make it seem like it was love at first sight but I never believed it. Plus they should have gotten better actors for the parts. lol Cindy & The Ropers should have been on the last show.

Never understood why they never Furley atleast go on dates. I mean he didn't have to have a steady but they never had him in the presence of a woman at all which made his gay jokes about jack weird because he was never around woman

Yeah that guest appearance by the Ropers in 1981 should have been moved to 1984 so they could attend Janet's wedding

the finale could have been better. I didn't much care for "Three's a Crowd."

The return of Chrissy would have been a nice touch, but, of course, it would not have happened.

I wish Chrissy and the Ropers had returned.

I think a spinoff called Jack and Janet where they are married would have been much better than Three's A Crowd, which was destined for failure. Could you imagine Jack being married to Janet and getting caught flirting with women and everything else? Some of the funniest episodes featured just Jack and Janet, especially the one where Jack takes the valium so he can handle flying out to an island to attend a snooty party with rich folks that Janet wants to impress.

Oh, and I agree the Ropers returning for the finale would have been cool.

If the show was called Jack and Janet it would have not been a spinoff since they were the two main characters.

It could have been done. Different characters, different location. The only thing the same would be Jack and Janet, everybody else would be different.

It would have been season 9 of Three's Company with new characters:lol:

It would not have made a difference. It was The A-Team that killed TAC more than anything. Ratings for TAC were not even that bad. They had about the same ratings as Who's the Boss. ABC was patient with WTB and wasn't with TAC. That was the difference.

yup and that was probably because the show was on for almost a decade versus a new show like Who's the Boss

I would've loved to have seen The Ropers, Chrissy, Eleanor, and Cindy at the wedding. And at least Janet's parents!

I think the reception at The Beagle is a great idea and having some sort of reference back to the bathtub scene where they all first met!! Good thinking!! :D

I also like the Larry/Furley spin-off idea. It was always funny when those two characters were together. :lol:

Never understood why they never Furley atleast go on dates. I mean he didn't have to have a steady but they never had him in the presence of a woman at all which made his gay jokes about jack weird because he was never around woman

Because Furley was a pathetic loser with women! :lol:

True. TC was so good you could've had 2 spinoffs. One with Larry/Furley and one with Jack/Janet and they could have guest starred on each others show!

:wave:

I really think he may have been gay. Because the episode when he had the opportunity to make out with a woman he met at the Beagle he was too scared:confused:

How the hell can a 52 year old man be too shy to make a move on a woman in his own apartment? Then he helped get back with her ex-boyfriend.

So he was never in any position to make fun of Jack because he thought he was gay

52?? Furley looked 70! :lol:

52?? Furley looked 70! :lol:


Especially in season 8. He looked like a senior citizen.

I was reading how Don Knotts in real life was always worried about his health for one reason or another. He did look pretty sickly!

In the last season he did. A lot different from season 4, 5, and 6

I was reading how Don Knotts in real life was always worried about his health for one reason or another. He did look pretty sickly!

I read somewhere that Don was a very anxious/jittery person in real life, and he channeled that as an actor with the characters he played, (ex: Barney Fife, Ralph Furley.)

But I agree, poor Mr. Furley should've at least just once gotten the girl...although he did hook up with Cindy's Aunt Becky! :lol: Oh, and that one larger lady who was in Larry's family at the opening of Jack's Bistro!! :lol:

Furley ended up making out with the fat lady at the bistro. It was in the tag scene

Ok, but at first he ran away from her!

He also ran away from the fat masseuse lady in Downhill Chaser in Season 5. Funny scenes.

Ok, but at first he ran away from her!


Yeah he ran from her in the beginning and I guess changed his mind because they were making out in Jack's kitchen LOL

He also ran away from the fat masseuse lady in Downhill Chaser in Season 5. Funny scenes.

I forgot about her!! :lol: I tend not to remember those episodes as much because they seemed off without a third roommate.

I felt so bad for Furley in that "gold digger" episode. :(

He also ran away from the fat masseuse lady in Downhill Chaser in Season 5. Funny scenes.


I think it was ok to run from her, she was a beast:lol: :lol: :lol:

It seemed like Furley was more put off by aggressive women. But when I think about it, all of those women, Aunt Becky, the masseuse, the large lady from The Bistro...they were all aggressors!! :lol: Maybe he wanted to do the pursuing!!

That was quite a funny episode without Chrissy and not yet Cindy. That's why I think there could have been a show with just Jack and Janet.:happyface

For some reason he was always aggressive with one female on the show, which was someone he had............NO CHANCE WITH


"Janet Wood":lol: :lol:

I don't think he ever tried with Chrissy, Cindy, or Terri. Just Janet!! :lol:

I think Janet was Furley's Scrabble partner!

She was!!! :lol: And that night when Terri had a date with a murderer, they were playing Scrabble. I LOVE that episode!!! :lol:

I don't think he ever tried with Chrissy, Cindy, or Terri. Just Janet!! :lol:


I think because Janet was more on his level mentally.

Oh God, Furley definitely had a thing for Janet. It was so weird lol.

It was weird!!! Poor Janet!! :lol:

Poor Furley. He didn't know how to dress.:talk:
