Cindy was to young to do many of the sexual inneudo that Terri and Chrissy did.

I still don'tunderstand why the producers would get someone as young as Cindy at that time-i found out she was only 21 during the 80-81 season

Personally I never cared for the 1st replacement of Somers. Harrison? She didn't look very friendly and she was not very comedic.

I thought Terry was the best of the 3 blondes.

Terri was the best blonde-and it was good her character was not as dingy as cindy and chrissy

Cindy was too much like Chrissy.
I think maybe in an attempt to get away from having another ditzy blonde, (and to make the audience forget Suzanne Somers)they decided to give the new roomie more brains and savvy. Teri fit the bill perfectly.

Cindy and Chrissy were not alike at all-Chrissy was dingy and cindy was clusmy-Cindy did not say dumb things-just bumped into things, and chrissy didn't bump into things, just said dumb things. So they were totally different

I would have preferred it if the kept Cindy and never had gotten Terri. I would have preferred it even more if they just kept Chrissy.

I think they should have Kept the show the way it was with Larry, Jack, Janet, and Mr. furley-and jack and janet have their own rooms-And then bring the Larry character more into the show-and the same with Mr. furley-But then again they would have to change the title of the show-So maybe a new roomate was needed

Chrissy and Cindy Snow - Cousins, same last name, they were both blonde and ditzy, both said dumb things.
Plus, in the "E True Hollywood Story" about Three's COmpany, they mentioned they wanted to move away from a roommate (Cindy) that was too much like Chrissy, so they brought in Teri.

I just don't remember Cindy saying too many dumb things-just being clumsy

cindy was only on for those few episodes, as far as i know she really hated it. terri didnt like it either, they treated her very badly.

callmetootie · 10-01-2002, 05:40 PM

Jenilee LOVED working there...you guys are wrong. It was the fact that 3'sC was losing it's sexual humor because Cindy wasn't like Chrissy who's breasts wiggled and made sex jokes. That was why the ratings went down, and that's why Terri came in. The penthouse pet sure did add on sex-related stuff to the show, but was given weak material in my opinion. I think that Jenilee's character was rid of because she was just there, and just being there doesn't call for $5,000 an episode. I loved Jenilee.

In my opinion, Jack and janet was without a roomate until the 81-82 season. That Cindy character was horrible. I still think her height played a factor in getting kicked off the show-TOO TALL-i think the producers eventually saw that a female roomate being the same height or taller than Jack just wasn't working. That's why terri was selected-shorter than jack.

OK . . . what is with you and Jenilee's height?! People do not get fired becasue they are too tall . . . it depends on Jenilee's funniness. They decided Cindy was no longer needed since they had Priscilla who could do most of the sex jokes so they let her go.
