Krisalicious · 08-02-2002, 02:13 PM

???????

Well for me, it was on nick at nite in october 2000. I looooooooved watching the Facts of Life on nick at nite...it was my new favorite show on there! Then one week, i turned on nick at nite, expecting to see FOL, but when i turned it on, it was Three's Company. And at that time, i didnt kno n@n was having a TC marathon so i thought it was i would just watch it, and wait for FOL. And i remember what ep it was...it was Janet's promotion. So i watched a little........and then it came to the part when Chrissy starts jumping up and down and i was like ooooook whoa! so i just finished that ep. And then i learned that it was TC the whoooooooooooooole week!!!!! And i was like NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT THAT SHOW! What about FOL?????? So, i got mad and didn't watch TC again.

So then when they started to show Fol again and then TC after that id always wath fol then turn of the tv bc i didnt want to watch that "horrible" Three's Company! But then day, i decided to watch an episode of TC...the show i THOUGHT i hated. And the episode was........THE BAKE OFF! And i laughed so hard when i watched it. So i kept watching FOL and then watched TC after that!

AND NOW.......Three's Company is one of my favorite shows!

LOL That sorta happened with me too. I started watching FOL and when I heard TC was gonna have a marathon I didn't like that they weren't showing FOL. I saw the commericals for the marathons and I was like 'who are those idiots?!!?!'. I watched it though and the first episode I saw was the first one they showed, "Room at the Bottem". I onyl remember seeing the scene where Chrissy is on the phone with Janet. Anyway I watched parts of the marathon and stopped watching cause it was on at 11pm...but when they moved it I started watching it regularly.

I just... started watching it on N@N, lol. I started watching while they were airing the Cindy episodes, and I think the first episode I saw was "The Night of the Ropers." And then I remember when they started showing the Terri episodes I got mad cuz I wanted Cindy...and I HATED Terri when I first started watching her eps. (I know you're laughing, Sean.) But now Terri's my fav (

).

It's okay Jelly. I remember when I first started watching (I stayed up until 11:00PM!! That was late for me in 2000 LOL) and watched the first Terri episode..I thought Cindy and Chrissy were the same character, lol

fizzyrox · 08-02-2002, 09:13 PM

haha I got home and i had a migraine and i had taped facts of life...and I was reallyyyy out of it cuz of my headache and so before I left i had accidentally taped tc instead of fol...and it was the episode Double Trouble, where Jack pretends he has his twin brother. And I didnt realize until half way through watching it that this wasnt facts of life, but some other show...threes company, and i thought it was hilarious! And thank goodness the episode that i watched was one of the best! I soon started watching it and i think my first few to see were from season 3, and i HATED Chrissy! I dont even know why now lol but it was weird..because now shes my favorite! But anyway, if it wasnt for my mistake of taping the wrong show, I may have never discovered TC! -Leslie

Blair85 · 08-02-2002, 11:11 PM

I 1st discovered tc on TBS a long time ago, & I couldn't get by the theme song! I was 11 or 12 & it was summmer, so I'd get up to watch Mama's Family & tc came on before it. Then once, I think they switched TC & Mama's time slot, & I got soo mad & I hated TC! Lol, I hadn't even watched it before, but I hated the theme song & I thought they looked stupid in those bumper cars & I wasn't too crazy about the 70s back then. Well, then they put it on N@N years later in one of FOL's time slots, & I said "AHHHHHH"

BUT, last summer I got to watching it sometimes & I just thought it was funny & innocent.

Omg, lol, and I could never get John Ritter's name right...Once I had some friends over, and u know how John Ritter has been on like every show, & he was on something we were watching & I said, "Hey, there's that Jack Ritter, I mean John Tripper..I mean.." & I kept rambling on, & everybody got fed up I guess, & they all yelled at once at me, "John Ritter!!!!" Well, now I know his name, but I'm deaf in one ear!

sreadtx · 08-03-2002, 02:51 AM

The first time I watched Three Company was the fall of 2000. I was channel switching, and I thought the program look interesting so I decided to watch it. I was immediately hooked, and its now one of my favorite programs of all time

iluvjoandnancy4eva · 08-03-2002, 04:45 PM

Well...
Whenever I watched FOL when it was on N@N Three's Company used to come on after it. I hate to admit it but when I first saw it i thought it was stupid (i was wrong!!). I had never watched a full episode of it, but the first time I did I laughed so hard I almost fell of my chair. So, I started watching the marathons and stuff and I realized it was really cool and funny. Larry was my fav character in the beginning but then I saw how cool Janet was, and now shes my fav character! So thats how I started liking it.

Wow, I think we are the only one's who saw TC before N@N. damn I feel old, LOL. Anyway, I saw it first on UPN in Chicoago a looooong time ago. THen it came to N@n and I saw it for abut a month until we packed up and moved to Colorado where I didn't start watching it until this summer. So there you go, my life story.

SBTB Geek · 08-10-2002, 01:41 AM

Don't worry Ricky, your not the only one that feels old!

I started watching Three's Company when I was a little 5 year old kid (1991) . My local FOX station aired it from 6:00- 7:00 pm on weekdays, and 12:00p.m. on Saturdays! ... and they aired Mr. Belvedere after Three's Company.

Then on 1994 they only aired it on Saturdays, it only lasted a year afterwards.

Those were the days.

I can't believe many of you have just recently discovered TC!

I started watching it when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. My parents watched it all the time. I don't remember which station or anything it was on at the time but that's when I started to watch it. I wouldn't have watched it if it wasn't for them. I tend to watch current shows.
