Which Roomate (Besides Janet) Would you picture Jack falling in love with? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LuLu Rogers · 07-27-2004, 07:14 PM

I could see him falling in love with Terri, JMO.

Michael [hXc] · 07-27-2004, 07:37 PM

I agree! Terri was pretty and nice and I just think she's the type of girl Jack would fall in

with

Janet McFarland · 07-27-2004, 08:38 PM

Terri! She's second after Janet!

Janet Tripper · 07-27-2004, 11:00 PM

I don't think that Jack would make a good couple w/anyone other then Janet.

Chrissy-would annoyed him so much he would probably jump out his window.

Cindy-he never made a pass at. I think that if anyone was like a little sister to him it would be Cindy. Besides she kinda looks funny being taller then him.

Terri-I don't think because they are just friends he just watched out for her. They never had that chemistry that JJ have. But I do think that they were def. funny together just like him and Cindy! but they never had the great/cute moments that Janet and Jack shared!!!

I think Janet was far too condescending towards Jack for them to ever have a relationship.

actually he did twice.Once in the ending of Jack To The Rescue & the beginning of Jack Bares All part 1.Jack was just an inch or 2 taller than Cindy

Can't picture anyone else with Jack besides Janet. But to answer your question, Terri, because she was kinda like Janet. Chrissy & Cindy were just not his type......They were ok but i really can't imagine either of them with Jack.

drummergirl81 · 07-31-2004, 11:07 PM

I'd say Terri too, but Janet is still my first pick.

Honey Bear · 08-10-2004, 02:32 PM

Good question.
Personally, I feel that Jack wouldn't have ended up falling in love with any of his roommates besides Janet.

One of the main running gags of Three's Company was sexual innuendo, especially between Jack and his roommates. Therefore Jack has had at least some sexual tension with all his roommates but I feel some stronger than others. So in terms of pure sexual conquest, I believe (besides Janet) Jack would've most likely slept with Chrissy. Jack and Chrissy had the most sexual innuendo (besides Janet) especially in the earlier run of the series. AFAIR, especially after Chrissy left, Three's Company sort of morphed into the Jack and Janet show; with most of the sexual innuendo occurring between J&J. I never felt that Jack was close enough to Cindy or Terri to seriously consider them for an intimate relationship.

Now besides sexual attraction, I feel over the about 7-8 yr run of the show, Jack had developed genuine feelings for Janet that he didn't quite have for the other roommates. Jack was mostly the all-a-round nice guy who had a sense of compassion for others. I believe he did care for his other roommates out of camaraderie and decency but IMHO Jack had more loving feelings towards Janet. I feel that sense of real loving concern could've easily developed into a legitimate romance (as opposed to pure sexual conquest).

Also AFAIR, I feel Janet irritated Jack the least out of all the other roommates. Chrissy was too stupid, Cindy too clumsy and Terri too mean spirited for Jack to really get along with them in a romantic relationship. I personally believe Jack and Janet's personalities tended to gel nicely together.

Maybe The Chrissy Character From The The First Or Second Season I Can See Jack with But Not After Season 2.
But Janet The Only One I Can Picture Him with.

Carrie · 01-30-2008, 12:23 PM

My first vote would be for Janet but if it had to be one of the other roommates, I think it would be Terri. Their relationship started off kind of rocky, so the fact that they would become great friends and make it that far would be kind of sweet.

vtunie · 01-30-2008, 01:46 PM

Early Chrissy, then Terri, then late Cindy (he finally showed he was physically attracted, at least, in the opening scene of the episode Terri first appears).

Utterly impossible: late Chrissy and early Cindi. Or maybe not... (?)

But the thing is, Jack knew his room-mates were neither sisters nor attainable lovers. (Remember "Janet's Secret"? "I swore an oath to your parents I'd treat you like a sister... But not MY sister, ha-ha!!") Isn't that the whole point of the show, in fact?
