So weird that Mrs. Tanner from Alf was a member of the trio for an episode!

If I recall they didn't give her one funny line. Purely a straight woman straggler in this episode.

And I had no idea Anne Schedeen was supposedly Jack's "steady" as Linda in the early years of Three's Company until watching these episodes recently.

She really looks different without her super short haircut on ALF. It's easy to not notice that that's the same chick on Three's Company unless you're paying close attention.

Yeah she would later quest star again in season 5 and 7 but as two different characters, funny how the show would bring back the same guest stars in different roles maybe she would've been a better choice as Vicki Bradford seeing as how she was a revolving guest star.

Considering that Anne was actually playing a role you would think was kind of important in Season 3, Jack's steady girlfriend that he sees regularly, you would have she would have had a bigger role in the show. But I guess the cast was big enough focusing on the trio, Larry and The Ropers. More focus could have been on Jack and his relationship with Linda though. Of course he couldn't have married her so soon because he would have had to move out and thus end the show, but still......Linda should have had more screen time considering who she is.

Then again, maybe that's why the writers refrained from focusing on Linda too much. The writers had no intention of having Jack marry her and move out of the apartment, so clearly they wouldn't want to focus on her relationship with Jack. It wasn't what the show was about. Audiences would begin to expect something to happen between Jack and Linda if they started having a lot of screen time together.
