Default Another example of Jack being a wimp in season 4

The episode when Jack saved the old guy's life and was told that he could get a 3 bedroom penthouse at Paradise Towers

Then after the guy admitted he lied just to get dinner, why didn't Jack grab his and throw his the f*ck out the door? Especially when he realized he did all that cooking for nothing and just lets the old man leave on his own



This scene right here had me LOL


Chrissy: How high is paradise towers?

Old Guy: is a 150 Stories pretty high?

Chrissy: Wow they don't even have buildings in NY or Chicago that tall

Yeah that episode was lame. And I didn't like the one when the old guy just decided to move himself in. Season 4 really had some lame episodes, I'm sorry.

Season 4 is kind of schizophrenic to me....it goes from great to utterly bland.

Some of the funniest eps in the series are Season 4, such as:
Jack on the Lam
Handcuffed
And Baby Makes Two
Chrissy's Hospitality

And there are some of the worst:
Jack's Bad Boy
Secret Admirer
Lee Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother
Root of All Evil
Old Folks at Home
....and many more.

I'm sorry, I just did not find Lana that interesting of a character. I thought she was way over the top, snobby, and kind of desperate. Of course, she was a one-note character like everyone else, but her one note just didn't impress me.

As for kicking people out of the apartment, I really dislike the kid in "Jack's Bad Boy." He needed a serious "attitude adjustment," as my father always called it, lol.

And you would think the trio would wait to get the keys to their new place before spitting in Mr. Furley's face

Yeah, and how Leo would cough to get sympathy for what a sick old man he was, then he was smoking in every other scene....

I'm a smoker and I thought that was pretty stupid.

And when he lit up in the broom closet....I mean, come one, he couldn't have waited five minutes until Mr. Furley left? Jeez.

And why was Jack mad that the girl got rid of Leo so they can have a quiet evening? Wasn't he being a pain in the a$$ before she made him leave? lol

I think he was more upset she was blunt and downright mean to Leo. It spoke poorly of her character.

Jack was annoyed at Leo, but his kindness and sympathy for Leo's situation prevented him from being rude and kicking him out with no warning. He and Jack had become friends, sort of, and Jack felt like she just told one of his friends to take a hike.

He seemed to always be dominant at the wrong times LOL

They said on the DVDs Anne Wedgeworth was under contract with ABC and had to find a place to put her. So the network basically forced her on to "Three's Company". The writers probably didn't know what to do with her and they kind of admitted as such on the DVD extra about Anne.

The character was considered a loser, someone her age with no man or kids and living alone? LOL

And her money.

The idea that she would be after an unemployed cooking school student like Jack and the fact that Jack would turn her down was just stupid. And she would move in to the apartment building just to be with him? Not funny. Sometimes we can't suspend disbelief.

And I don't even think she was all that attractive. Ann on the Ropers was older and much more attractive and should have that role

Too old to me. See Ann was a little older than Jack but not much older, Lana looked like she was only a few years younger than Helen Roper lol
