Articles from TV guide about the show in here. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is taken from an article in my Nov. 20-26 1982 TV guide with the cast of TC on the cover. The aritcal is about Richard Kline.

"Suzanne is, was and always will be an agressive and ambitious woman," he [Richard Kline] says. "And when you couple her agressiveness and abbition with [her husband/manager] Alan Hamel, a man who gives a new meaning to the word 'shrewd,' you have quite a combination."

"It was obvious even before she left that Suzanne had become too big for the show. She'd be due for a call, and she'd keep everyone waiting 15 minutes bbecause she was on the phone. One year we were supposed to start production on July 15. They postponed it for two weeks so Suzanne could keep nightclub dates, inconveniencing 80 people for the sake of one."

As for the rivalry between Somers and DeWitt, said to have strained relations on the set, he pickes his words as carefully as if advancing across a mine feild. "I think it's out in the open now that Joyce and Suzanne had some sort of difference of opinion," he says. "But I'm truthful in saying it was never blatant. They were never at each other's throats. In fact, it was interesting to see them contain whatever they felt and still work successfully together."

I will post more later.....

Suzanne Somers has some serious issues. Asking for more money when everyone made 30 thousand bucks per episode. Talk about greedy.
I HATE YOU SUZANNE YOU BITCH!!!!!
I LOVE YOU JOYCE YOU ANGEL!!!!

This is taken from the same article. It's about Joyce disliking the episode "Janet Wig's Out."

Thus, when you visit the Three's Company set, you find no one trying to be more valiantly to keep the ship on course than the vouble, energetic Kline. As the cast rehearsed for the last taping of the 1981-82 season, for instance, the set glittered with tension. The script called for Joyce DeWitt, as Janet, to wear a newly purchased blonde wig that transformed her from a demure and somewhat shy brunette to a brassy and bumptious blonde. DeWitt disliked the character change so much that she refused to wear the wig in rehearsal and even threatened to walk off the set. The equable Ritter tried to keep things loose by ad libs, mugging and raunchy wisecracks. Kline, waiting for his two breif scenes , did his part by laughing loyally at every joke.

The star carried on an imaginary telephone conversation with his forthcoming Friday-night date. "Bye, Debbie," he sighed into the phone, and added "Don't forget to take your shots," bringing a guffaw from Kline. Sitting down the telephone, Ritter picked the controversial wig and clapped it on his head like a Davy Crockett coonskin cap. He marched offstage singing "Born on a mountainto in Tennessee...." By now Kline was practically rolling on the floor with laughter. DeWitt, who had burst into tears earlier, was smiling, too, and was to later say that "the support of John and Richie made it OK and really pulled me through."

This is from the December 28, 2002 - Jan. 3, 2003 TV Guide

Suzanne Somers isn't going to like this. Her old sitcom pal Joyce DeWitt has coproduced a film about their day's on the '70s smash Three's Company. The NBC movie, which airs in April, depicts Suzanne as a greddy nitwit who durned a happy set into a nightmare. Somers and costar John Ritter reconciled in the '90s after barely speaking for 15 years, but no such luck with DeWitt. We tried to get Somers to talk, but her epople said, "We don't want to go there." One place Somer's is going: She gets her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 24. (Ritter already has one; DeWitt does not.)

Joyce DeWitt is carrying things too far. Suzanne has already said she shouldn't have done it, and that it was wrong. What more can she expect? John has been able to reconcile with Suzanne, yet Joyce just helps in the negative portrayl of Suzanne. It seems apparent that Miss DeWitt may need some emotional help in dealing with anger. One minute she wants to make up with Mrs. Hamel, the next she wishes to make Mrs. Hamel look like a nitwit.

Ok everyone has different opinions so i'm going to shut up about Suzanne and if you this Joyce has alot of anger then thats your opinion. Frankly i'm glad Suzanne will not be on TC Revisited.
