There's actually another Three's Company reference in the one with the Five Steaks and an Eggplant. In the restaurant when Ross asks Chandler why the hot girl called him at his apartment (as opposed to Chandlers when she thinks she's calling Bob) and Chandler explains Ross says something to the effect of "now what do we do if Mr. Furley comes in?"

I wonder if there is some relation (and there might be, I really don't know) to a Three's Company writer or something behind the scenes at FRIENDS? There seems to be a lot of references to that show.

Did they ever mention All in the Family?

Thanks for telling us about the first "Three's Company" mention being in "TOW the Sonogram.." I forgot that's where it was.

I guess this would count but there were 2 references somewhat in the episode where Ross & Rachel break up.

First, when Ross brings the picnic basket to Rachel's work and causes a fire on her desk. She's on the phone and she says to the person on the phone "I'll have to call you back, I've got Shemp in my office"(Shemp, from the 3 Stooges).

Then later, the apartment, Rachel tells Ross that you don't bring a picnic basket to work, maybe, unless you're a park ranger(a reference to Yogi Bear).

Also, there's a slight reference to "I Dream of Jeannie" in the episode where Monica & Rachel were living in the guy's apartment and Monica was trying to figure out what the light switch turned on and she was putting holes in the wall. At the end of the episode, she was turning the switch on & off and in the other apartment, Phoebe was nodding her head and her arms folded like Jeannie towards the TV because the switch was turning the TV on & off.
