Some Things I Noticed About Suzanne Somers

[jasonbigley]

She is currently on Dancing With The Stars and she said twice that she was the star of Three's Company. I don't think so Suzanne. You, John, and Joyce were the stars equally, not just you.

I watched 2 different interviews of her. In one, she was doing a cooking demo and talking about Irish women not being great cooks. Then in another interview, she claimed she was somewhat Irish. I think she contradicted herself.

In all the interviews she has done over the years, she never mentions her time on Step By Step. Why? The show lasted for a good 7 seasons.

Im not trying to bash her, Im just being observant. I think she is doing great things in the field of health and well being.

I see she is still delusional, she was never the star of Three's Company lol

During those interviews, how many times was she asked about Step By Step? I suspect that anyone conducting an interview with her would be primarily focused on TC and if they don't ask then why talk about it? If she has been asked and refused to answer or tried to change the subject then I would also be asking why?

When I think about the "me me me" attitude Baby Boomers seem to personify, Suzanne Somers is the first person that comes to mind.

Sometimes I wonder how Alan Hamel has managed to stay married to Suzanne for so long. Suzanne seems a bit high-maintenance, but I guess Alan is able to keep up!

I agree, I think Suzanne was part of an ensemble cast where all three of them were the "stars." When asked about this on her Facebook page, here was Suzanne's response, which I thought wasn't too bad.

I think some just like to jump down everything that Suzanne has to say. Suzanne was a very important part of the show and had a lot to do with the show's success. In the end John was the one cast member who couldn't have been replaced but if Joyce had come out and said that she was the star of TC, I don't think many would have commented on it. They were all stars on the show.

I agree! If Suzanne had never left over money issues, and the three of them had finished out the eight years, we would not blink an eye at this wording.

Honestly, even people who say John was the star---of course he was a huge part of it, but take a look at Three's A Crowd and tell me that. John alone could not have carried it. The show was meant to be an ensemble piece, and each of the trio should get credit for "starring."

She should have said a star or co-star. I think she was more of a star then Joyce when they were working together,but Joyce seemed to improve after Suzanne left.Alan Hamel has not been on the radar since 1980. I consider him to be a gold digger and lets Suzanne pay the bills.Both of them have a net worth of 100 million,I think that $100 million is all Suzanne's,since it is hard to believe they each have a net worth exactly the same.Alan Hamel made Suzanne get fired from the show,since he was her manager at the time and he was the one that demanded they give her more money and he did not know what he was doing. She could have had a chance to get more money,if she was properly managed by her previous manager that she had,but fired him after all he did for her,to have Alan Hamel manage her. If Alan Hamel has done anything good,or even fair, after 1980,please post a reply to let us know

Because it wasn't a new comedy, it was season 9 of Three's Company

That just proves my point. If it was season 9 of Three's Company, and if John Ritter was the big star of Three's Company, then why did it fail?

Because the other members of the ENSEMBLE were not there. Period.

Ehhh I wouldnt say it failed because of the lack of Janet and Terri, many factors led to it, season 8 of TC was already its lowest and although The Cosby Show premiered that same year but took time to find its footing, many other sitcoms were struggling with hour long shows becoming popular.

I myself liked TAC just as much as TC, the characters were just as zany, it was ABC's lack of faith in not giving the show more time to pick up that they went ahead and pulled the plug on TAC to bring over an abysmal 8th season of Diff'rent Strokes.

Yeah and plus CS was on NBC which I believe didn't have anything to lose since they were starting up their Thursday night comedy block, ABC was probably desperate for a hit and TAC fell victim of getting the axe.
