What did you think??

Vicki WAS really pretty, but I still think Jack and Janet should of gotten married, or at least kissed or something like that...

How do you think the finale would have gone if Vicki and Phillip were not brought in?

I loved the finale...it was great! The only scene I didn't really like was the last one...I think it should've ended with the second-to-last scene, which was Terri turning off the lights in the apartment and leaving with Jack and Janet.

I really liked a scene in either the finale or "Cupid Works Overtime" where Jack, Janet, and Terri start getting sad. That was so sad. *sniffle*

The reason why the finale of Three's Company was a bit awkward is because not only were they trying to wrap up the sitcom (Janet meets and marries Phillip), but they wanted to lead-in to the "Three's a Crowd" spin-off.

At the end of the finale in the original airing, the "Three's Company" logo was superimposed on the screen, remained for a second or two, and then was replaced by the "Three's a Crowd" logo, all in a little animation. It was both cool and shocking at the time because it graphically illustrated the end of "Three's Company". I was disappointed that Nick@Nite decided to cut that out.

I know, but I wish the last scene focused on the people of Three's Company instead of the people of Three's a Crowd. I mean it was their show. Oh well.

Yeah, I remember seeing a clip of that on the E! True Hollywood Story. I liked how they did that in the finale. I agree it's too bad that it isn't included in syndication, but I suppose it's because Three's a Crowd isn't seen in syndication often and hasn't been shown on local stations in years.

Jack and Janet should have hooked up. She always did have a crush on him.

Janet was not Jack's type physically.

Vicky was okay. I didn't like Phillip that much. Of course all know why, because I wanted Jack and Janet together. And of course I think that if Vicky and Phillip were not brought in it would have been nice to get Jack and Janet together, though that wouldn't have worked out for Three's a Crowd because the father of Jack's new girlfriend would have to hate Jack.

I thought the finale was a bit rushed, first of all, Phillip was first introduced The Heiress/The Inheritance and then in the next episode Phillip was already attempting to propose to Janet and then they were married right after they were enganged. Phillip, after knowing Janet for such a small portion of time withought any really true indication that they were in love, it didn't make much sense for them to get married so soon. It seemed that Janet didn't know much about Phillip, and we didn't know much about Phillip. It appeared the same way for Jack and Vicki, they didn't know much about each other but you could tell that they really enjoyed each other's company. It seemed odd because I've never really saw Jack so in love another person this much before.

I thought Janet did get a little emotinal in the last episode when she was about to marry Phillip, and she started crying, and I thought that it was a very special moment for all of them, because they were all moving on, to do other things, Jack was going to live with Vicki above the Bistro, Terri was going to Hawaii and Janet was going to live with Phillp. I think it was nice that Jack and Janet would still lived very close together, so they could revisit each again whenever they wanted.

Do you Think Terri's Move to Hawaii wasa little corny?

Then what was his type? All of the relationships he had on the show with the sort of wild girls never really lasted. Then he met Vicki who was more of the Janet type (just more dull and with no personality) and he supposedly fell in love with her...just curious.

I don't like the finale that much. I just don't like the way it turned out... it could have been so much better imo. It made me so sad,though.

Vicky wins the looks battle over Janet, not by much. JMO

Sorry, can't agree with ya on that one...but either way, Jack's not you and he's not that shallow.

I disagree. Vicky was not at all pretty and Janet was beautiful.

I hate the finale, I think its sad that Janet married Phillip and not Jack. They made the perfect couple. It was sad they didn't get married. I think Jack had feelings for Janet cos they lived together for 8 years.

JMO tho.

No, but I thought it was a step in the right direction for Terri because it would be a benefit for her career and the fact that she would be helping other natives of the island since she knew it was right all this time ever since she was a little girl, I think it was the best option for her, especially if she had no where else to go, after moving out of the apartment.

But as for her moving to Hawaii, I think it was a quick solution for the writers to show that she was be moving on, along with the rest of the cast.

Janice · 06-28-2003, 12:32 PM

I can't watch the finale anymore. It makes me too sad. I know how sad the cast was in real life, so I don't watch it.
I also don't watch Shelley Long's last episode in Cheers.
