Default Larry Spinoff may have worked better than Three's a Crowd

My reason for saying that is TC viewers didn't know the other side of Larry's Life. We just knew he was a used car salesman and liked chasing girls. So if there was a spinoff about Larry, we could have seen the actual used car lot when Larry worked, his co-workers, and his parents. See we knew everything about Jack Tripper after watching him for 8 seasons so that's probably why TAC didn;t do that well because it was Three's Company withut the Girls and Furley. So who would have been interested in a spinoff based on the Larry character?

I think that's a great idea! I would of loved to see a spin-off with Larry! He was always really funny on "Three's Company", so it would of been interesting to see him with his own show.

Yeah the Opening Credits could have included the outside of the Used Car Lot he worked at and the show could have had him in a completely different APT instead of the one we saw on TC. In the first episode he could have moved out of his TC APT into another one and the title could have been called LARRY DALLAS-lol

I would have loved to have seen a Larry spinoff. But I think producers would have mellowed the character being he would have been the star.

A Larry spinoff would've been great and I like the idea of seeing another side of his life. I always liked him.

Larry was always one of my favorite characters. I think a spin-off show would have been great.

I totally agree with you all. I thought Larry was so hilarious! I thought that would have been a great show, and Richard Kline probably could have pulled it off just like John did. But of course, we know that that Vicky girl wasn't even a great actress.

I agree with y'all I loved Larry, and I would have watched his spinoff instead of TAC.
