were on DVD?

I don't think either one of them would make it to DVD, however I guess you might be right.

Yeah i don't either. But Jack tripper being in TAC will defintley make a difference in the sales if it was on the shelf in best buy.

neither will probably make it to dvd but i think the ropers would do better

Although I prefer The Ropers, I think Three's a Crowd would sell better. John Ritter is more recognizable among people than Audra Lindley or Norman Fell are.

Three's a Crowd was like lost episode of Three's Company.. they are not as good abut pretty close

Three's a Crowd is a very underrated show. It is HILARIOUS. I've seen 15 episodes of this series (of the 22), and it is funny like Three's Company to me. The episode where Jack, Vicki, and Mr. Bradford are in Acapulco is VERY funny. It's like Three's Company -- lots of physical comedy and misunderstandings.

Not many fans have seen this show, and I don't think they'd be disappointed if they see it.

I also like The Ropers, but I give an edge to Three's a Crowd. The episode with the rummage sale of The Ropers always makes me laugh.

Though, it is a long shot, I wouldn't be surprised if Three's a Crowd was released in a special edition set of Three's Company Season 8.

Yeah ruumage sale was funny. I just don't like EZ as the chef on TAC. Pav you think Felipe as Jack's chef on Three's A Crowd would have been much better?

Mr. Television · 03-13-2004, 03:49 PM

I liked EZ. I just didn't think Vicki was that funny. Three's A Crowd wasn't that bad of a show though and if it was on today it probably would have gotten renewed for a second season.

Yeah I guess so. I liked EZ in that episode where he and Vicki were in the van, and Jack thought they were having an affair.

I think expectations were higher because Jack Tripper was a character of the shw. And by not making the top 30, it was a big disappointment.

They were going to renew it for season two, but NBC canceled Diff'rent Strokes, and ABC decided to pick that up instead of Three's a Crowd.

Probably because TAC was a new show at the time with below average ratings and DS was already a well known show. I guess it was smart to pick up DS.

To answer your question:

I don't think one would've been promoted better than the other, but I think Three's a Crowd would've definitely be much more recognized because of the main character of Jack Tripper.

As far as the EZ Taylor character on Three's a Crowd... I think he was so unfit for the show. I mean, he added variety but was still a bit annoying seeing as he was like this surfer dude.

Mr. Television · 03-14-2004, 02:05 AM

I think the show would have been better if Larry (Richard Kline) would have been a regular.
