that she may have had a good point, She took pleasure into the fact that Three's a Crowd failed and was cancelled after one season by saying this on the "true hollywood story"

"That's what happens when you build your house on sand"


But after working with on a show for so many years with John Ritter I;m sure she didn't want to see Three's a Crowd have a similar run as Three's Company while she was home with no gig:lol: So she probably did feel good when it was cancelled as evil as that may sound but I guess since they did her so dirty she had no choice but to celebrate the failure of the show:lol:

Priscilla Barnes and Don Knotts didn't care since that wasn't there from the beginning like Joyce and John

She had every right to be hurt. I never understood why all the secrecy was necessary. Priscilla tried to get out of the show soon after she joined so she didn't care. Don Knotts had been around Hollywood for years. He knew how the game was played and Richard was offered a role in the show which he declined. I think Joyce would have been ok with it if they would have been upfront with her from the beginning.

Yeah that was dirty, since she was there from Day 1. The producers should have just ended the show when the ABC execs said the show was getting stale. The producers had no intentions on spinning Jack off but came up with the idea once they felt pressure to make changes

I thought this thread was gonna be about how Joyce revealed John had affairs with guest stars during her reunion with Suzanne!

Why did she bring that up? Was she mad because he wasn't having sex with her?

I don't know why but as a TC fan I'm glad to know. There were so many hot female guests can you blame John? John is only human and NOT gay IRL!

Why did she bring that up? Was she mad because he wasn't having sex with her?

She brought it up because Suzanne said that was one of the questions the audience members had for her; so therefore Joyce answered.

Maybe they did have sex? Maybe not. Even if they did, Joyce would be the kind of woman who would take it to the grave with her.

Several years ago in China I bought the first season of Three's Company from a small stall. I have not see the show in decades and was never a big fan of the series.

The pilot episode where the girls found Jack (or John Ritter) sleeping in the bathtub, I sort of went, "Damn, Joyce Dewitt was fine!" watching her walking around in her shorts and sleeping clothes. Dark hair, brown eyes, and tan Italian skin wins everytime. Suzanne Somers to me was a horse face with big 70's hair and big boobs.

For whatever reason, Joyce Dewitt literally stopped acting in anything after this show went off. Nothing, not even a community center skit. My guess is that she hated Hollywood and the BS. She made her money and then some, and hanging out in Hollywood was not worth it for her to do guest roles in other shows.

That's what I would do perhaps. Hollywood would kill me.

That's because the phone wasn't ringing

Joyce did guest star on the Love Boat and other shows but maybe that was during TC.

She guest starred on Living Single in 1996

Joyce probably figured she's made enough money in show business plus she was pretty disgusted at the way she was dissed eventhough she was very loyal to TC.

That's because the phone wasn't ringing


I don't think so. She was on a successful, even legendary and groundbreaking series after 10 years (or however on it was on, but it was on for parts of two decades). I do not think after the show was over that she could not get any other parts, she just had enough of Hollywood, made a lot of money, probably beyond her expectations and wanted to go back to being a "regular person" and not a celebrity.

An actor named Avery Brooks is another example. Brooks first "famous" role was in Spencer for Hire playing someone named Hawk. Hawk even got his own series for a brief period of time. Then he got probably his most famous role as Captain Sisko in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (which has been voted by countless Trekkers as the best of all the series, including TOS* and TNG*), which lasted for seven years.

Then Brooks was in a film called American X, and a Robert Dinero film which was successful and then after that was semi retired doing bit parts and voice overs for extra money and decided to be a professor of fine arts in Oberin College and Case Western University in Ohio. He probably could have made more films and made more money, but he has made what he needed to be comfortable and does what he wants.

Not every successful person in Hollywood stays there from their teen years until retirement. Some get tired of it and leaves. I think there is a fair share of average, normal people who do it for awhile and get tired of the partying, the fake people, the hustle and everything else in Hollywood.

Joyce never said anything about her having sex with John. I don't think Joyce has ever said that nor did she say that during her reunion with Suzanne.

Joyce said that John had affairs with some of the guest stars but not her!

She wanted to be one of the ones he had SEX with which is why she brought it up

She is all the ALL TIME HATER

Some of the things you guys say make me want to gag.

I don't see why she had to mention who John was sleeping with. It's obvious she was mad because it wasn't her

I disagree, I could be wrong of course, I believe she mentioned it because I think she likes to gossip. :)

Joyce simply mentioned the reality of what was going on during the 8 years the show was on the air.

I've not heard anything that Nancy (John's 1st wife) is mad at Joyce for this or anything.

I don't see why she had to mention who John was sleeping with. It's obvious she was mad because it wasn't her
Look, I don't know why she brought that up. You know she was probably nervous as all hell sitting next to a person she hadn't spoken to in years and when asked a question about who John was sleeping with, probably didn't think and spat out what she knew. Just because a woman brings up gossip, doesn't mean she's jealous. Nothing pisses me off more than when someone assumes someone is jealous because they don't like someone or because they bring up something negative about someone else. Guess what! Surprise! That's not always the case!

Like there's a really sexist attitude on this board and it drives me up a wall sometimes but I don't say anything. We have another thread going nitpicking the looks of the women of the show like they're cattle and I can't even believe my eyes when I read it. Dear Lord. People need to have a little respect.

I agree and let's be honest. Joyce was smoking hot back then and if she REALLY wanted to she could've slept with John but that isn't her nature.

IRL John and Joyce were 2 very close friends but nothing indicates they were romantically involved.

I never liked Three's A Crowd.I agree with Joyce's comment.

I don't know why but as a TC fan I'm glad to know. There were so many hot female guests can you blame John? John is only human and NOT gay IRL!



Yes and who could turn down women like Tori Lysdahl and Pamela Brull! :happyface :happyface

I never liked Three's A Crowd.I agree with Joyce's comment.


She didn't like TAC because she wasn't involved. The same way you would be if you worked at a company and they had a restructuring which made the company smaller and didn't involve you

I believe you would have been rooting for them to fail too and smiled when it happened:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes and who could turn down women like Tori Lysdahl and Pamela Brull! :happyface :happyface

Tori was a goddess! She played Rita, the cohort of Mafia type dude and then the hot workout chick in another episode. I wonder what she looks like today?

I don't know who Pamela Brull is.

Yes, Tori was a goddess and in two episodes, Diamond Jack and Mighty Mouth. When she played a fitness trainer in Mighty Mouth, she made an appearance in a black dress and left a permanent impression in my mind. :happyface :happyface

Pamela Brull played jealous-karate-nut Max's girlfriend in Dying To Meet You. Max was played by Terry Kiser, of Weekend At Bernie's fame, who appeared in two episodes on Three's Company. This episode is worth checking out as I was unable to find a pic of Pamela and how she looked back then.

I know exactly who you're talking about and she was gorgeous too. Better body than Tori with curves to die for. Pamela must've been a D cup with those ta tas!

Well said. :)

Back to the comments by Joyce, I wonder how she knew about John's escapades with his co-stars. Did one or more of these co-stars confide in her since John's death? Did they tell her back then? Did she learn from a production assistant or someone else on the crew?

She has it on video! :lol:

I guess we can never know for sure but ALL the guest stars can't be lying! At least 1 or 2 of them must be telling the truth. But no normal man can blame John for banging some of those guest stars since they were smokin hot!

Since we've been talking about the hot guest stars, I'll also add Angel Tompkins who played Grace in the season 3 episode called The Fast.

There was a bet to see who was weaker, men or women and Jack had to give up women and Chrissy had to give up food. Jack kept turning down this gorgeous blonde Grace and although funny, it was painful for me to watch as I would have called off the bet as most men would have.

Good job Twin Brother! Another smoking hot one!

Can any warm blooded male really blame John for cheating? I just can't believe he got married. He was meeting a different super hot chick most every week on that show! I think most of us would've had at least a few affairs when surrounded by all that tail!

I don't care how hot any of these women were, I don't condone cheating. That really bummed me out about him because I thought he was above that. I always thought Nancy was a sweetheart and just, meh. Bummer.

I agree with you in the regular world. But Hollywood is different. Let me explain. Many marriages in Hollywood are arranged. It could have been that they had an understanding. She may not have liked it but accepted his cheating. After all, he was pratically a sex symbol at the time. She may have even had affairs herself. People like George Clooney, who are really gay, have relationships arranged for them to look heterosexual in the public eye. You never know what kind of arrangement John and Nancy had. Hollywood is just not the same as the regular world.

Oh honey trust me, I know all about that stuff. I'm basically an expert and I view every Hollywood relationship with a skeptical eye. That being said, still kinda bummed. You like to think that "your people" aren't a part of that stuff.

Maybe Nancy told Joyce about the cheating in recent years. They seemed like they were friends, at least back in the day Joyce said Nancy was at the studio a lot. Then maybe Joyce heard stories later from guest stars that confirmed the cheating.

Yes it didn't make any sense he got married at the beginning of the height of his fame.

AMEN to that! When John was getting tail like a rock star would be the LAST time you want to get married.

He should've waited like Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) did till he got old and fat. John could've still had kids! It IS Hollywood! :lol:

That's good. This is just what I've been told by people who are in the business or who have been in the business. I do get what you mean about holding a high standard to people you like and respect. John Ritter was an extremely talented comedic actor who made a lot of people happy. It's hard to imagine him being a dog...but like I said, he could have had an arrangement with his wife.

I thought this thread was gonna be about how Joyce revealed John had affairs with guest stars during her reunion with Suzanne!

Maybe Joyce had too many drinks that day. I don't know why she would make something like that public. :crazy:

That was a precursor to "The Contest" on Seinfeld.

Now why Chrissy would be willing to give up food in exchange for Jack to give up women I have no idea.

Back in the day there was more pressure for men to get married. Things just weren't considered complete unless someone took in a spouse. If this were 1977 I'm sure if my parents were the age they are now then they'd be pressuring me to get married too.

And look if John cheated on his wife, well he wasn't the first guy in Hollywood to do that either.

We can be disappointed in him, but he must have been very popular with women at the time. And yes, it wouldn't surprise me if he was banging the guest stars. Lots of beautiful women on the show over the years. I'm sure women were throwing themselves at him, and the fact he was married probably turned some of the women on even more.

This isn't the first time actors' real life behavior is different from their characters' persona. The fact that they can be totally different from their character in real life is what being a good actor is all about.

Tori was hands down the best looking guest star on the show
Yep out of all the 10s Jack dated she was the ten-est.
