Do You Think 'Three's A Crowd' Hurt The Legacy Of 'Three's Company?' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In your own opinion, did this spin-off/continuation hurt the overall legacy of the parent show Three's Company? The 3's Company finale seemed so rushed and forced and to be quite honest wasn't very good. JMO

If so, not much.

It only lasted a single season, and while I only watched one or two episodes, it wasn't that bad, quality wise. I think if it had been given a bit more of a chance, it would have lasted four or five seasons.

Was it necessary? Probably not. But I don't think anyone who's a TC fan really feels cheated by the show.

No, not at all. In fact, I don't understand why Lionsgate didn't finish off the whole series by releasing Three'a a Crowd on dvd. Until they do, the show just isn't complete! The Ropers should be released, also!!

I agree! Not at all! If anything it enchanced it since you couldn't end the John Ritter character so easily!

BUT they should've had Janet as Jack's roomate/lover then it would've lasted at least 2 seasons!

I see Vicki(Mary) did absolutely nothing after this!

If they did that then it would not have been a spinoff, it would have been three's company without terri and Mr. Furley-lol

That wouldn't have helped at all. TC was dying and they needed to rejump the series.

Mary was a regular on Night Court for a season a few years after TAC left the air.

Absolutely positively not. Three's company stood on it's own having provided hours and hours of great comedy and sublime writing.
