Three's Company was mentioned in one episode when Monican and Chandler were going to move in together and Rachel thought they would all be living together. She started singing "Come and knock on our door"...

"Three's Company" was also mentioned on the 2nd episode, "TOW The Sonagram And The End":

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, and Monica are watching Three's Company.]

Chandler: Oh, I think this is the episode of Three's Company where there's some kind of misunderstanding.

Phoebe:...Then I've already seen this one! (Turns off the TV.)

It was the very first one. Can't remember which episode, but in the opening tag, Ross starts doing the Odd Couple theme song.. interestingly, the whole entire cast pulls it off without a problem. I wonder if anyone from Friends likes Neil Simon's work!

That scene is hilarious! I can't for the life of me remember the episode either, but it was fantastic.

"The Odd Couple" song was in "The One With The Dozen Lasagnas." BTW, Ross tried to segway into "I Dream Of Jeannie" with no success! LOL

Gilligan's island.When Joey take Rachel on cruise with
his new boat.Joey enters the room dress as Mr.Howell
(sailor's suit)Chandler said:I was making a coconut
phone call to the professor!

When Ross was dating a girl named Ginger.They started
to sing the G.I's theme song.

GrandGame1440 · 05-10-2004, 12:50 PM

It seems as though I also recall them mentioning "The Love Boat" when Joey was in that suit. BTW, it was Chandler who was dating Ginger (an ex of Joey's), the girl with the wooden leg in "TOW Phoebe's Ex-Partner."

Laverne & Shirley

The One With The Bullies

Monica: How could I take a job where I have to make something called, "Laverne and Curly Fries?"

Screenwriter · 05-10-2004, 01:44 PM

I couldn't figure out the second theme song Ross was doing!

Christmas Snow · 05-10-2004, 03:37 PM

Firnds also mentioned Three's Company but I don't remember the episode. All i know is that Chandler says..."What would Jack and Chrissy do?"

Skywalker · 05-10-2004, 07:02 PM

I just saw an episode where Joey was upset or something and he was watching Cheers and he felt better. They were playing the theme song from Cheers. It's the episode where Ross goes to England to get married to Emily.
