Can anyone think of any links between these two shows, such as actors that appeared on both? I think there must be, but I cant think of them. Other than Jack and Kramer do a lot of physical comedy.

I don't think there is any.

There has to be something. The only thing I can come up with is that Jack got his finger cut by or working with Felipe and Jerry got his finger circumcised by a mohel! You cant get any closer than that!

THE CHINESE RESTAURANT

Mr. Cohen: Hey, what stinks in here?

Bruce (laughing): Mr. Cohen! Haven't seen you for a couple of weeks.

Mr. Cohen: Well, I've been looking for a better place.

(Bruce laughs)

Bruce: Better place... Want a table?

Mr. Cohen: No, just bring me a plate and I'll eat here.

Bruce (laughing): Give him a plate and you eat here... Come on, I give you a table.

Jerry: Excuse me... we've been waiting here. Now, I KNOW we were ahead of that guy, he just came in.

Bruce: Oh no, Mr. Cohen always here.

Elaine: He's always here? What does that mean? What does that mean?

Bruce: Oh, Mr. Cohen, very nice man. He live on Park Avenue.

David Tress, who played Mr. Cohen, appeared on two episodes of Three's Company- "The Days of Beer and Weeds" as a desk sergeant and "And Justice For Jack" as Virgil.

:notworthy

THE CHINESE RESTAURANT

Elaine: Oh, Jerry, here comes that woman...

Jerry: Where do I know her?

(woman in stripes approaches Jerry)

Lorraine: Hello, Jerry!

Jerry: Heeeeyyyy... How you doin'?

Lorraine: How is everything?

Jerry: Good, good, good... What's goin' on?

Lorraine: Oh, working hard. And you?

Jerry: Oh, you know, working around, same stuff, doing... whatever.

Lorraine: You haven't been around in a while.

Jerry: I know, I know... Well, you know.

Lorraine: You should come by.

Jerry: Definitely. I plan to, I'm not just saying that.

Elaine: Hi, I'm Elaine.

Lorraine (shaking her hand): Lorraine. Catalano.

Jerry: I'm sorry, Lorraine, this is Elaine...

(They all laugh, then silent)

Lorraine: Well it was nice seeing you, Jerry. And nice meeting you. (she leaves)

Elaine (smug): Oh, nice to meet you too, Lorraine!

Jerry: Oh my god, Lorraine... that's Lorraine from my uncle's office. I'm in big, big trouble.

*****

Judy Kain played Lorraine and appeared on Three's Company in the episode "Mate For Each Other" as Joan Ferguson.

Wow - do you have a photographic memory or did you do some research?

I new there had to be some connections, but they are not very strong.

John Ritter's cousin co-starred in Jerry as the butler.

That is a solid connection.

Learn something new every day.

Ritter's tentacles are everywhere.
