Anybody seen the commercials for the ABC 50th Anniversary? I saw some with some Three's Company stuff...John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt, and some other characters. They also are going to have bloopers and stuff before the awards ceremony or something...there was a HILARIOUS clip of Jack (John) coming into the apartment with like a speedo or something on, and Janet (Joyce) is sitting on the couch...I can't remember what episode it's from...I think it's "...and Justice for Jack" or something...but anyway, look for the commercials on ABC...it's gonna be on May 15...!!
