Kramer vs Jack Tripper - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

sitcomblog · 08-31-2006, 11:24 PM

I am going to post this in the Three's Company and Seinfeld boards because I want to get opinions from both sides. Some of you may disagree with me and find this far fetched, but I don't. Hopefully, some of you may agree with me. I am sure most people may not think of Seinfeld and Three's Company in the same thought.

I am a huge fan of both Three's Company and Seinfeld. In my area of New York, Seinfeld comes on Fox at 11:00 PM and Three's Company comes on at 11:30 on TV Land.

Watching these shows back to back, I noticed that Kramer has a lot of the same moves as Jack Tripper, when they do their "clumsy" acts (i.e. tripping over things, etc). I am not sure if that is a coincidence, but they are definitely both the favorite character in their show.

When Michael Richards was on Fridays in the 80's, I noticed that he had the same moves as Kramer, but Fridays was closer to Three's Company in airing dates. So, I find it possible that Michael Richards could be a John Ritter fan.

Just an observation.

They both did the slapstick that they were great at, but that's where it ends as far as comparing the two. IMO.

I compare the two for one reason. I watched Seinfeld, then 3's Company back to back on one particular night and noticed that they both fell and flipped over in the same exact way.

Oh yeah, they both were great at that. I liked both shows, but am partial to Seinfeld.

I don't think Michael Richards copied off of John Ritter.

Brian, I am not sure I would say MR copied off of Jack Ritter, exactly...I just noticed they fell over the same.
