Wonder why we never heard complaints from the Jeffersons cast about NRW? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

NRW(Nicholl-Ross-West) were Producers of both The Jeffersons and Three's Company at the same time, Anybody who is a Big yime Three's Company Fan, Has all the DVDs and has read all the books(Including the Chris Mann Book which is the best Story on TC!) knows the Backstory and all the backstage Drama went on behind the Scenes of Three's Company and also that NRW treated the TC Cast badly(I am not going to get into it since this is Jeffersons Board) and the Females Casrmembers (Including Joyce Dewitt) have said that NRW were Sexist Pigs! And you could just by reading the book that they were very Sexist towards women's! Priscilla Barnes(Terri) said it was the worst Three Years of her lives because of them!

Did any of The Jeffersons castmember's ever have any problems with NRW? or make complaisant's about them? I have wondered why the Three's Company cast (Mainly the Women's) seem to have lot of bad things to say about NRW but the Jefeersons cast don't.

Other than that, no other controversial

I always wondered about NRW. They produced early All in the Family episodes, then moved to the Jeffersons when it started. They also did Three's Company as well as The Ropers. But in the summer of 1980 after the Ropers had just been cancelled, Don Nicholl died. But for the remainder of The Jeffersons and Three's Company, all three were still credited for some reason. Then when Three's A Crowd started in 1984, only Ross and West were credited as producers, but Don Nicholl was credited as being one of the four writers of the theme song. I wonder, was that song written years before Three's A Crowd went on the air?

Joyce DeWitt is the one is screamed the loudest about NRW on Three's Company, and then of course, there was the Suzanne Somers drama. But no one else complained about them, so I have to go with the majority and not the minority.
