One Joke T & A Fest - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

highanddry · 10-21-2000, 12:05 AM

This show was nothing more than a one joke T and A fest. Every single show was centered around a single misunderstanding, with the blond roommate jiggling and making stupid comments until the final punchline. It's like Gilligan's Island, except at least on that show, they had really no other possible plot lines except to try and derive potential rescue attempts. This show could have gone off into so many other directions.

You hit it right on the button!I don't mind programs which are basicly one-joke shows- but Three's Company's one joke was a dirty one!I couldn't stand Jack's gay farce,which was a obvious to everyone but the landlords! (I felt sorry for both actors.)There was a time when I did like the show,however.I saw the show straight for two years-and then realized I could do better things with my time.It too me a little longer to realize how true your post is-and all the actors deserved better roles.Many of them have had better roles also.Thank you for posting something I can agree on.

The people loved the show! Why was it number 1 in the ratings every week? It's a harmless show with hilarious misunderstandings...even Nick at Nite liked it and picked it up!

Millions of people buy Britney Spears' albums. That doesn't make her talented. Millions of people flocked to see the Waterboy. That doesn't mean it's on par with the Clockwork Orange or The Shawshank Redemption.

Three's Company was one of the best classic comedies ever! It did not suck! It was so funny and yes it's the #1 show on Nick-at-Nite. Every Sunday night (Make Your Own Sunday), people always vote for 3's Co. when it's on the ballot. That show does not suck at all.

So what? All you're doing is equating popularity with quality, which is ridiculous. Were you listening to one of your Britney Spears CDs or watching your VHS copy of Titanic when you wrote that post?

I think TC was one of the best shows EVER!

Chrissy only did that because she was happy, and that only happened in about 10 episodes out of 172.

See, you're useing a sterotype. Do all Mexicans play the guiatar? Are all French rude? I Rest My Case.
