Did Any Of You See "Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There is a more detailed article about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behind_...ee%27s_Company

Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company was a tv-movie that aired on NBC in May 2003. It was about pretty much the rise and fall of Three's Company and it showed some of the behind-the-scenes tension that went on during the program's run.

Joyce Dewitt was the host of this movie and was also co-producer.

Did any of you get to see it? How was it? I don't think it's been released again...

I saw it when it came on in 03. I was actually impressed with the actors they chosed, especially the guy who played John Ritter, he sounded and looked so much like him. It was pretty good, I liked it. VH-1 had reran it a lot after it aired on NBC. Go to youtube to see if it is uploaded there.

YouTube is the first place that I looked at... it hasn't been uploaded. Someone just posted a clip of scenes from it; the whole movie isn't there.

Go to the trading board. Someone might have it there.

Yes, and I also saw the movies they did on Charlie's Angels and Mork & Mindy. I saw the TC one back in 2003 - the second time it aired.

Saw it. Not bad, quite good actually; but for FANATICS only.

"Fred Silverman" is the best character by far.

I didn't see the original run of the movie. I didn't see it until VH-1 ran the movie on their network. I thought the movie was pretty good, but I didn't like the way the movie jumped from 5th season to the 8th season. It took me 5 minutes to catch up. I wish the movie fast forward those 3 years like the movie "Walk the Line." did.

Was that Brian Dennehy playing Fred Silverman - or was that the Charlie's Angels flick?

I don't know about Charlie's Angels, but I remember that he played Fred on the TC one.

It's fun to watch, but like the Wikipedia entry says (in fact, I'm the one who create the section), the movie has lots of discrepancies. It gives a general idea of what happened, but it doesn't have be completely taken seriously.

I taped the movie during its original run. Full of inaccuracies, but still enjoyable.
