That is soo Cooll because in one of John Ritter's appearances in Oxygen's "I've Got a Secret", John was asked by the host to act up a scene of witnessing his dog being hit by a car, & John makes a crying face and yell "NOOO COCOA!"

Cool findings! :D

But you forgot Cindy? :confused:

There was barely anything to say and what they said was not nice.I'll put it on just to show you.

Cindy Snow!

Cindy replaced Chrissy on the show in 1980. She was brought on as Chrissy's clumbsy cousin but was wisely replaced by Terri shortly after joining the cast. She was the least attractive and unfunniest roommate. Although, her clumbsiness would often launch Jack into his terrific physical humour.
Cindy left home because her mother read her diary and fell asleep. Much like viewers would watching her on the Three's Company. Is this too mean? Well, she was definitely my least favourite Tripper girl.

Cindy moves out when she goes to UCLA to become a veterinarian.

Memorable moments:
Cindy takes the gang to her aunt's farm.

To help give Cindy a job, the gang hire her as a maid, with (obvious) disasterous effects.
