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.

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.

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

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.

I wished they would have used her more in season 6. She always did great with what they gave her.

Here reactions 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.
