Default I’m not gonna lie…Season 3 was the best season

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

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.

Of the ones you picked, my three favorites from your list would be: Three's Christmas, The Catered Affair and The Root of All Evil. In that one, I got such a laugh out of that dumb giraffe doll that Chrissy wasted her money on!

It seems like there was always people on Three’s Company coming back for a second, third, or fourth time playing the same character type.

Jack On The Lam was a funny episode to me. Watching Jack in drag itself just cracks me up

It was so obvious that even in drag, it was very clear that Jack was really a man. That guy who fell for Jack was a total idiot for not knowing better. Those FBI guys were also idiots for not knowing Jack was a man.

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.
