Question about Lana - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

jacktripperfan · 01-25-2018, 08:01 PM

Just wondering if, in the short time Lana was on the show, if we could have seen her apartment a couple of times. I think it would have been interesting.

Thoughts?

Also, RIP Ann Wedgeworth.

I think there was one episode where Jack was in Lana's apartment when he was trying to talk her into going to Mr. Furley's landlord party. I think he was also changing a light bulb or something.

We never saw her apartment. Hope this helps.

I know that. I was just wondering if it would have been a good idea to show it a time or two.

Oh,then yeah, I agree.

If Lana had been on the show longer we probably would have seen her apartment, like we did with Larry. I would like to have seen it, too.

I imagine it would look a lot like Mr. Furley's, for some reason. But she would probably have one of those revolving beds.

Did they ever show/say what Lana did for a living ?

I vaguely recall it being something like, "wealthy widow".

In her first episode she said she was "a buyer at Willard's department store."

John Ritter said in an interview that Ann was "so beautiful" that it made NO sense to keep having him reject her so that's why she left.

I couldn't agree more! Any red blooded make would be all over gorgeous Lana if she came on to you like she did to Jack!

Yeah, that makes sense.

It ONLY makes sense in a dopey sitcom way.

You could argue that Jack was so used to being the pursuer, that having somebody who was ready and already sexually-interested in him and aggressive about it, threw him off his game.

Dude, that's ridiculous and you know it and that's why Lana left.

I remember in an interview John Ritter said Jack Tripper said was so horny he was "humping lamp posts"!

John was trying to say Jack was thinking about & wanting sex ALL the time. So if a gorgeous doll like Lana comes up and offers up sex to you on a silver platter there's NO WAY any straight single man would turn that down! That's why John said the "Jack rejecting Lana" storyline got SO preposterous she had to go.

A good analogy is to picture someone who loves eating. If he didn't have to go out to a grocery store or restaurant but could have his favorite foods delivered to him he certainly wouldn't turn that down!

The show was BUILT on preposterous and my suggestion would have worked well enough for a 1970's sitcom.

This is Three's Company we're talking about here, not Mad Men.

But John Ritter already said you're wrong. Lana was never about "throwing him off his game". John said when Jack Tripper was so hypersexual he was "humping lamp posts" there was NO way he would keep rejecting a woman as beautiful as Lana so she was written out of the show.
