The Complete Series: 8 SEASONS, 172 episodes

INCLUDES THE ROPERS AND THREE’S A CROWD PLUS OVER 9 HOURS OF BONUS EXTRAS

Three’s Company was a groundbreaking comedy series that tripped through a world of slapstick pratfalls and some of the most scandalously titillating comedy America had ever seen. Racy and daring for its time, this breakthrough farce ran for eight seasons on ABC. Forty years after it came to an end, it remains one of the best-loved television series of all time. This complete series set is a celebration of the exploits of Jack, Janet, Chrissy, Larry, Terri, The Ropers, and Mr. Furley and offers fans a chance to relive every episode and continue to laugh for years to come.

Starring: John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, Suzanne Somers, Richard Kline, Norman Fell, Audra Lindley, Don Knotts, Jenilee Harrison, Priscilla Barnes. Directors: Dave Powers, Bill Hobin, Michael Ross, Sam Gary, Robert Priest.

Does it have the tag scene to Ralph’s Rival in English?

I wish these were on VHS :( (In beautiful analogue)

Does it have the tag scene to Ralph’s Rival in English?

Since the same company re-released Gimme A Break! with the one edited episode still edited, I'd bet not.

This is an excellent deal! I how the link here helps to contribute to this website. Since it's not Amazon I wonder if it does or not.

Interesting choice not to put The Ropers photo on the front OR back considering the complete series is included.

I'm glad I bought this at the $59 price (postpaid). It has now gone up to $69. The big draw here for me is "Three's A Crowd" finally officially released on DVD. I honestly never thought I'd see the day. This probably allows DLT to keep holding on to the rights of Three's A Crowd and The Ropers. I know like music and movies after a certain amount of time goes by the control rights are in uncharted waters. Also included is the Lucille Ball special which is a incentive too. I have all the Anchor Bay seasons and I plan on keeping them. I've noticed that a lot of times (for instance Wings) when the complete series boxed sets come out a lot of the time the discs have flaws in them.

Wow Holy Maird :)

"Ralph's Rival" is still the edited version. I'll have to make my own complete version using the Italian dubbed source and use English captions for a complete episode.

Also, randomly, some discs in the set have hubs that sit too high for pc, snap-in type dvd players. Use caution with anything but sliding drawer, clamp style players. You'll feel the "weird" discs rubbing against the pc drive plastic, plus they don't snap in place quite right. Beware!

Score!!I just noticed it says this is from 2000.... I wonder if there is any chance of these being analogue source?? (Probably not)

Now you know the answer is no:lol:

I dont think no one is surprised Ralph's Rival is still edited. But atleast after so many years, we finally got to see the actual scene

I have the original releases of seasons 1-6 from Anchor Bay and I think I'll just stay with those, not really interested to have seasons 7 and 8 or The Ropers and Three's A Crowd.

I wonder if there's a problem with the English soundtrack of the tag scene from Ralph's Rival and that's why it's cut from the DVD?

Now you know the answer is no:lol:

Yup. I shoulda guessed: "Hell, naw!" :lol:

But I did go ahead and make my own complete version with captions to throw in with the rest.. There's so much extra room in that big plastic box anyway.

I wonder if there's a problem with the English soundtrack of the tag scene from Ralph's Rival and that's why it's cut from the DVD?

One of the members of this board arranged a private viewing of the broadcast master direct from the archive source and noted that the original audio for that scene was in particularly bad shape.

Now, the way I see it, there's no reason it couldn't have been included with a disclaimer (the new set has one about possible flaws being noticeable) or, at least, as an extra.

Problem is, I guess, we the consumer must be protected from any kind of video dropout, sound problem or otherwise. We can't know that these are old tapes with problems. They don't mind giving us slightly degraded copies of these shows in this set, though (an extra line of blur/edge enhancement is most noticeable on the titles, credits, bright contrast scenes of which most of the show is comprised, and some extra motion blur).

Worse yet, when films get released we must be protected from picture flaws, period-specific special effects limitations, splices, dirt, scratches, original color timing and any and all instances where film might look like film.

Just know that when there are flaws, we, the consumers, are.. protected!!:crazy:

Thanks for your comments, I agree that the tag scene could have been included on the DVD with a disclaimer about the substandard audio quality.

I have a few DVD sets from VEI, drama series such as Dan August, Cannon, Barnaby Jones, Petrocelli, and the DVD's include a disclaimer which says "Due to the age of the films there may be visual anomolies and defects which you may or may not notice that we are unable to correct", or something like that.

This set does, as mentioned, have that disclaimer that things might not look that great due to the age and source material. I think it was mainly to cover the added distortion from their copying the episodes, plus the much-discussed, burnt-in anomalies like the quad color banding of the early season episodes. Lots of folks thought their discs were faulty because of those orange and green bands that would show up, especially in closeups of faces where the skin tones would look "off".

This set is a mixed bag of good-for-fans stuff like the 2 short lived series, but lacking in extras for those, plus a lost opportunity to include the infamous missing tag in glorious, damaged quality.

Unless Three's a Crowd and Ropers is UNCUT, its not much of a bonus since both shows can be viewed on Youtube and available on DVD already

That will always be the biggest mystery of my lifestyle:lol:

Thanks for posting a link to the tag scene in the other thread here, spoken in Italian with English transcript, looks like it runs about 35 seconds.

No problem, I felt that every diehard TC fan should see the 35 seconds that we been missing for so many years. And I was actually accused of being wrong about it being a tag scene for Ralph's rival lol

If Jennilee Harrison had stayed on with the show to the end, I would have the whole series on DVD. Jennilee was a good replacement for Suzanne Somers. The main reason why I don't have seasons 7 and 8 is because I'm not all that fond of Priscilla Barnes.

That's probably because she couldnt hide the fact that she didnt like being on the show and you was able to see that

Yep she would act like she preferred not to be there and the Terri character just didn't appeal to me. I almost didn't buy the 6th season DVD but I bought it because Jennilee is in at least some of those episodes.

That is a good point. I checked 2 episodes of Three's a Crowd and the dvd runs a half to a whole minute more per episode. I'll need to do some a/b comparisons to see if material was added or cut.

This is the complete edit I did with English subs for "Ralph's Rival" if anybody wants it:

My three favorite episodes from season 6 all had Jenilee in them:

1) Urban Plowboy 2) Maid to Order 3) Eyewitness Blues

The show worked well with both Jenilee and Priscilla in the cast. Season 6 was a great season, much better than seasons 7 and 8.

I loved Jenilee and thought she did a great job stepping into huge shoes. However when Priscilla joined her role was dumb. It was almost like the small kid they had for Family Ties. He would start a scene, say something clever and then walk out of the room only to appear at the end for another adult joke from a child. She would start the scene and then disappear. You can tell they were being nice to her and gave her another season besides writing her off all together. Look at Urban Plowboy. She invites them to the farm and then disappears. She does not even sleep with them in the barn. I hated it. IMHO she should have just been written out in season 6 because her lines and set ups were not necessary. I found them annoying even though I wish she would have stayed as the third roommate the entire series.

The Lucille Ball special is part of syndication so why is it considered an incentive?:confused:

I didn't know it was shown on syndication. I don't remember seeing it on DejaView or PlutoTV. I do have the Lucille Ball episode on Season Six of my Anchor Bay DVD.

They show it all the time on Pluto and I would say it dont need to be in syndication because its not a real episode. Should only be on DVD. I remember watching as a kid and was like........"where is Jack, Janet and Terri? LOL

Season 7 and Season 8 had some great physical episodes!

"Jack Goes To The Dentist", "Diamond Jack", "An Affair To Forget", "Jack Goes The Distance" etc.. are far better than most episodes from the first five seasons. Season 7 is underrated as it's really good from start to finish with only a few duds like "Navy Blues".

And Season 8 also has some of the best episodes of the series like "Alias Jack Tripper", "Grandma Jack" , "Janet Shapes Up", "Baby It's Cold Outside", and the ever so funny "Jack's Tattoo".

I don't watch 3's on Pluto that often because of the heavy cutting of the episodes. But it's good that they air it. You can't go wrong having Lucille Ball as your spokesperson.

I haven't received my box set yet from Visual but they mailed it out on the 28th so I expect it early this week.

I am so looking forward to checking out "Three's A Crowd". On my DejaView bootleg set of "Three's A Crowd" from start of theme to end of ending theme it runs about 23:20 so I've always thought it was pretty much uncut episodes that DejaView was airing. But if there is a minute or so more on this box set to these episodes it will be awesome!

Pretty sure "Three's A Crowd" didn't have tag scenes. I think sitcoms around the time that "Three's A Crowd" was airing was phasing tag scenes out.

Here reactions :eek: were similar to Furley's. I found them both funny.

I'm a Three's Company fan so all the seasons had great episodes. The later seasons was just more hit and miss., but the hits were really good.

Seasons 7 highlights for me were "A Night Not to Remember", "Diamond Jack", and "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do".

Season 8 highlights for me were "The Odd Couples", "Out on a Limb", and "She Loves Me; She Loves Me Not"

Diamond Jack was top 5 of season 7. Great ep

I hated most of season 7 and especially A Night Not To Remember. They took Jack out of his character and just made him a mean drunk for laughs. The show was running on fumes then.
BTW, I was watching an interview with Ritter from the 1990s and they were talking about his slapstick and if he ever got hurt. In the episode A Night Not To Remember when he's at the restaurant with Janet and her date he slides under the table. During the first take of the scene he hit himself on the head with the table and was knocked unconscious and the crew did not even notice because they thought it was his acting. He said they kept it in but I have not watched the scene that closely so see.

Thats how I felt about the tattoo episode in season 8 when Jack was out of character after they give him a needle

By season 7 it was stale. Episodes like Extra Extra where people think the three of them are always having sex together. That was the original theme joke that sort of wore off by season 3 and 4. But they tried to reintroduce it and it was lame. I do like a few episodes like Going To Pot and Diamond Jack. But Hair Today Gone Tomorrow and Borrowing Trouble are the lamest episodes ever. We get recycled scripts with Larry's sister. OMG we've already had an episode with Janet's sister that was the exact same premise. The Brunch was so lame and a poor excuse for a script. Season 7 introduces Jack's Bistro and most agree that is when the show jumps the shark.

I found a guy on Youtube that is unboxing the new 40th anniversary box set. I can't wait to get mine.

https://youtu.be/rGkMeuLMpu0?si=MPVbHrBKK7n1itVa&t=660

Looks like the 22 episodes of "Three's A Crowd" is divided over three dvds. So that is about 7 episodes per disc. And "The Ropers" are on 4 discs. Again that is good and there shouldn't be any worries about compression. It does suck that if you are a fan of the either series you have to buy the whole box set instead of them individually. I am curious if later on they will come out individually.

They aint scamming me, I seen TAC and Ropers too many times in last 15 years to spend money on a TC DVD set that's still edited. Not like both shows are not easily available for viewing online or streaming

Is this set closed captioned?

I have the set with just Three’s Company and I can confirm it is closed captioned.

What makes the Ropers unedited? Is it something different about the opening credits? what is the run time?

Regarding Three's A Crowd , the box set includes the voiceover part of the ending credits. Here is a example:

https://youtu.be/qmtAFON1P5U?si=sxyyd53zaKtfdrw5&t=20

Also includes the full version of the Three's A Crowd theme song aka Side By Side. The syndicated version of theme cuts one of the verses out. Which is a real shame. The music was written by the famous music producer Michael Lloyd. I've always like the art montage that accompanied the theme. Especially the plane flying behind the characters as they kiss. That's a great shot.

I'm going to watch some of the Ropers episodes this weekend so I'll give a report.

I believe I had a few ABC eps of TAC back in 2004 and got rid of them when I retired from tape trading. I look forward to your report of the ropers
