Post-Chrissy episodes

[Jinxey]

I wonder if Suzanne Somers watched them

[JSP]

I'm sure she did. For a while there she had the time to as she was blacklisted from Hollywood at the time.

[JackJanetChrissy]

I'm sure she's not telling if she did. But I would think it would have been too painful to watch, at least for the first year after she left.

[Johnny be good!]

I would have loved to see Chrissy interact with Cindy and Terri.

What do you think their interactions would have been like?

[Dr. Thong]

I strongly doubt that Somers watched the show after she was fired.

Why would she want a reminder of one of the most boneheaded moves in TV history? She was on a hit show, could have rode that pony until the end, but got caught up in her own ego and greed.

I think they would have been side splitting.

Meh, the show only lasted three more years without her, right? And ultimately, though she did suffer as a result, she bounced back pretty well with her Vegas career, exercise vids, books, etc.

Ultimately, yes, but that comeback didn't really cement itself until the early 90s.

She did have the Vegas thing, but for a while, that was it -- she couldn't get TV work. And when she finally did, it was the lame She's The Sheriff.

Somers has never publicly admitted it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the secretly regrets doing what she did and being fired from the show.

Actually, the only reason the show went off the air in 1984 was because the decision was made to spin off John Ritter in his own show. Three's Company could easily have continued.

While the ratings did drop a bit after Somers was fired, the ratings eventually recovered and the show continued to be a hit. Probably not as big as it had been when Somers was on the show, but solid enough to stay on the air.

And IMO, the show began to go downhill when The Ropers were spun off -- never could stand Furley.

The show really only had about one year left. Ratings had fallen bigtime between the 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons It was ranked #6 in 1982-83 and the following year wasn't even in the top 30.The show was dying. It would have ended in 1985 anyway. The A-Team is what killed it off.

[Babalu]

The only two reasons to watch that show were Suzanne Somers.

I do not think that I ever watched "She's the Sheriff", but I remember it being on. I do not think that it lasted very long.

Nothing against Priscilla Barnes, who I thought was good on the show, but I think by the time she arrived, it was really running out of steam. How many years can you reasonably milk out of a misunderstanding about a man living with two women?

I don't share your dislike of Furley, but I did miss the Ropers. I would be have been OK with them sharing airtime with Furley, really.

I'm pretty sure it limped along for two seasons.
