This was when the show was at the start of it’s peak and was starting to shine. Yes, I know The Ropers departured later that season and Chrissy got EVEN more dumb than before (still doesn’t compare to her season four act), and there weren’t many fun, upbeat episodes from start-to-finish but it seemed like a mix of the original first two seasons and season four. A mix of decent and mild and dry humor and at the same time fun to watch and not too all-over-the-top. The Ropers were most enjoyable in this season as well. Now you might think, oh well this season doesn’t compare with Seasons 4 or 7 or 6 or 8. It might’ve not been as take-you-for-a-ride and fun and upbeat as some of the other seasons but it was unique in it’s own way.

My favorite three episodes are: Days of Beer and Weeds, The Fast and Helen's Job. I think they were all from season 2. I also liked The Rivals, Cyranno DeTripper and Helen's Rendezvous. I think they are also from season 2. So I suppose my favorite season would be 2 :):D:cool:

I liked Season 3 because…it was a mix of the first two seasons and season four. It was really fun but laid back at the same time and you could tell this was the season right before season four

I liked Season 4 because…it just had a fun, upbeat, and take-you-for-a-ride vibe in every episode except for maybe one or two from start to finish. And I’m surprised they could maintain that vibe since they just lost a big part of the show, The Ropers, but they managed, and believe me, they obviously managed WELL. I was gonna say that Season 4 was my favorite season but I had to rethink it, while it was more fun and upbeat, Season 4 did have more faults than Season 3.

Actually, Helen’s Rendezvous was a Season 3 episode I’m pretty sure. Most of my favorite episodes are from Seasons 2-4.

Yeah I know that guy was a real idiot. Jack might’ve looked a little feminine and androgynous, but it was obvious that he was no natural woman. And if Jack was a real woman, I still wouldn’t see what that guy would’ve seen in Jack to THAT extent. And how did Jack fit so well in Chrissy’s dress and high heels?

BTW: For some strange and disgusting reason didn’t Jack look so “NICE” in drag. :eek::lol:

I agree Season 3 was the best. However, I have always said the second part of season 2 and season 3 is the best of the series. A great sitcom works like this. All in the Family and Roseanne are similar and Golden Girls too. The first season is excellent. The series gets better in season 2 when the actors really groom their characters. The third season is its peak and then slowing the scripts get tired and old.

On Logo when they play Threes Company on an afternoon and season 3 is on, I am floored how every episode is so damn good. Not a bad episode ever.

Season 4 is really good but Crissy got really dumb and it was not the same but there are still excellent episodes like A Camping We Will Go. But the ropers were missing :(

Yes, at the beginning when Chrissy was absent for a couple of episodes before Cindy came. And you could tell they gave Furley a couple of Chrissy’s lines, especially in the court episode. And this season is also depressing because it’s the last pre-Terri season.

She was a fairly attractive middle age lady with a nice figure. Not so much different than Lana although Lana was even hotter!
