There aren't that many bad episodes in fact even the average ones have funny bits in them.

BEST EPISODE:
From season 5 when Jack pretends to be his twin brother Austin in order to get close to Furley's niece but the plan backfires when Furley wants to have a drink with both Jack and his pretend brother, funniest part is when Jack as Austin is trying to leave town only to encounter thick fog that wasnt there seconds ago.

WORST EPISODE:
From season 7 "Bob & Carol & Larry & Teri", god I hate this one so much, it mostly involves two people in the show who we've never seen before only used as a plot device for this one episode.

That's interesting because I always enjoyed that one. I do agree that it was lame that they forced two characters on us that were never used before. But what I like about the episode is Jack's performance. That one moment still gets me laughing when Jack opens the door and gets startled when he see's Larry.

Why was he startled when he saw Larry?

It happens when Terri is calling a coward to Jack because he doesn't want to talk with Bob, as Jack is opening the door to leave the apartment he get's jumpy when he sees Larry just standing there at the doorway.

Jack was just being jittery at the thought of breaking bad news to Bob who is a big man.

The 3rd season episode where Chrissy falls under the spell of some guru.

A boring episode from season 2 where Chrissy and Jack fill in for babysitter for Janet.

My least favorite episode is the one where the blind guy comes to the apartment, decks Jack, and won't leave the apartment till Jack decks him back. Then when Jack finally gives in and goes to deck him, he blocks it and decks Jack "for trying to hit a blind guy."

The only thing that I find funny in that episode is after getting hit, Jack is laying on the couch with ice on his face. He gets up off the couch and his hair is standing straight up. Even the audience bursts out laughing.

About the episode of the blind guy, did Mr. Roper reduce the rent or was that forgotten?

I just remembered another episode I hate.
It's the 6th season episode where Jack thinks Terri's nun friend is in love with him.
The reason I hate that episode so much is because of the obvious plot holes. When Jack thought the nun was in love with him all he had do was ask Terri. Then conviently Terri was not seen in the 2nd half of the episode. Janet was also barely on and not involved in the plot.

That's true, his opportunity to ask her is when she asked what"s wrong? lol

I like it as well. I love Jack's reaction when he thinks that the nun is in love with him and wants to marry him. And who can forget the exchange between Larry and Jack:

Larry - I thought we might take in a movie tonight. Is there anything you'd like to see?
Jack - A nun is in love with me.
Larry - Sounds kinky. Where's it playing?

As one of my favorite shows, it's not easy to pick out worst episodes, as most have something funny, but all series have duds.


Jack's Navy Pal-doesn't make me laugh and just seems mean-spirited.

Larry Loves Janet-Larry is too far out of character to be believable in this one. Just kind of ridiculous.

Secret Admirer-kind of boring and the nerd just wasn't an interesting guest star.

Jack be Quick-thought it was just an odd episode with few laughs.

The Charming Stranger-bored me.

I didn't like the way they ended the series and thought it was too rushed to even be remotely believable. Never liked the Vicki or Mr. Bradford characters.

The Heiress

Cupid Works Overtime

Friends and Lovers

He didn't end up raising the rent. He told them something to the effect that they were going to have a hard enough time paying for all the replacement items that the blind "pal" broke.

Exactly we just saw them for that one episode and were never heard or seen from again, and also I'm guessing for story plot conveniences they needed two random characters that were not series regulars.

Funny especially the part at the bar when the owner throws a bum out and yells "see ya tomorrow"

Season 4 and season 7 had the best episodes

My least favorite was Jack's Navy Pal, because it seemed so unfair. I thought for sure that guy was going to get his comeuppance, but nope. He was the only truly unlikeable character ever on the series.

I hated part 2 of "Jack Bares All" when he and Larry plot to humiliate Terri at the party so she won't want to move in. The whole premise and implementation was ridiculous, and then they tried to force this touching moment at the end. Very lazy writing.

I didn't like Janet Wigs Out. Janet never would have acted the way she did towards Furley and Cindy. Poor writing. I also don't like the series finale and hardly ever watch it when it's on or I'm watching the Season 8 dvds.

Janet Wigs Out is Cindy's last appearance.

Jack's Navy Pal - this episode I always watch just the first half. The first half is enjoyable. The Pal doesn't come on until after the commercial break.

I also don't like the finale because we don't get closure on most of the characters we spent years watching and instead we get a lot of Vicky.

It wasn't a finale, it was a transition to Three's a Crowd

Actually that was in early Season 8. I actually enjoyed that episode. That was the one where I learned an old funny song called the Old Sow Song, which Jack sang with his father.

Good, so that means that season 7 remains one of the best seasons next to season 4

To be fair I'd say the worst Cindy episodes were in which the plot revolved around her, aside from that as long as she was kept to a minimum more the better for Jack and Janet to take over.

That episode about her getting kidnapped was a real dark episode

In my opinion, the worst Three's Company episode is probably the one where Jack, Janet and Teri think that their new British neighbor is a jewel thief. Turns out the guy is just a ventriloquist.

I guess the subject matter was nothing to laugh about but Three's Company handled it in their own brand of humor and didn't fall into the "special episode" syndrome that so many sitcoms dealt with in the 80's.

It was something about that episode that was dark. Maybe the light or something but it didn't have the TC feel
