Joyce DeWitt's Argument about Three's a Crowd made no sense at all - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 03-13-2005, 03:29 PM

I'm finishing up the Three's Company Book and read the part when Dewitt was mad because she wasn't included in the spinoff. She tells the producers she could have played the role of Jack's girlfriend which sounded very dumb because Jack and Janet wasn't a couple-LOL I understand no one wants to stop working but like the producer said it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to write the Janet Wood character into the show. She should just accepted she was no longer needed and looked else where for other acting opportunities. Bottom line

Well I think that she was allso ticked off because she was not told about the spinoff and she had to find out about it when she walked in on the vicky interviews, and maby she wasnt right for the part but as I recall 3s a crowd lasted only 1 season the actress they picked for the part couldnt act for beans, and maby the show would have lasted longer if jack and janet fell in love and joyce was in the spinoff.

She was not told about the spinoff because she wasn't going to be on the spinoff. They also didn't tell Don Knotts, and Priscilla Barnes about the spinoff because well you know the rest-lol

The whole cast should've been included in on it. The producers ****ed up pretty badly.

Joyce had every right to be upset! How would you feel if your boss came up to you after giving him 10 years of your life and told you that you were going to lose your job? I think you'd be just as upset as she was!! And Jack and Janet were a WONDERFUL couple! The stupid writers just screwed it up. Had Joyce been on "Three's A Crowd" it would have lasted longer than a year!

Joyce was told like all the other cast members that the 8th season was going to be the last. But They didn't have to tell her about the spinoff because she wasn't going to be apart of the show. So just like they didn;t tell her about the spinoff, they also didn;t tell Priscilla Barnes, or Don Knotts

I mean they should have been informed about it.

But why would they need to know about the spinoff if it had nothing to do with them? The only ones that should have known about it was Richard Kline and John Ritter.

Terri Cardellini · 03-13-2005, 09:10 PM

ITA the producers did NOT treat them well at all, Priscilla even said that towards the end she didn't even noticed that everyone was being treated badly because that's the way she was treated all along.

It had everything to do with them, they were the ones IN tc, they were the ones who would be out of work.

Well when your job is phased out, you have to start looking for another one. That's life and Joyce was old enough to know that.

Terri Cardellini · 03-13-2005, 09:21 PM

She was a big part of the show at this point and if you ask me i think her and john were equal, they both stayed on the show for an equal amount of time, and even their characters were an equal contribution to the importance of the show, one wasn't better than the other, so i think it was wrong for them to make a spin off with only one of them, that's like taking all the credit from the show and giving it to one person and totally ignoring the other. So the bottom line is that first she got cut out then she's not even told about it. She was the other half, you can't just doing soemthing with one half and totally ignore the other and just hope they'll go away. It doesn't working like that.

Now you know that Joyce and John were not equal. John was the star And Joyce was the Supporting character. I understand that she was mad that her employment was coming to an end but the storyline of TAC just didn't involve her character. It was about Jack having a live in girlfriend and there was no way Janet could have moved in with Jack because they were not romantically involved. The only Three's Company character that was able to fit on TAC was Larry. Not Janet, Terri, or Mr. Furley. They could only make guest spots that's all because it was no longer Three's Company

Terri Cardellini · 03-13-2005, 09:44 PM

I don’t' care what anyone says I still believe that they were equal, maybe not at the beginning but at the end they knew it and the audience knew it. Actually i think that the audience would've believed Jack and Janet being "romantically involved", more than Jack meeting one girl and falling in love with her AND wanting to marry within what 2 days.
