TV shows that have made referrences to TC - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

During the first season of Friends, there was an episode where they were all watching TC in Monica's apartment and Chandler said, Oh, I think this is the episode of Three's Company where there's some kind of misunderstanding. Then, Phoebe was like, Then, I think I've seen this one already. LOL...I dunno how long that joke has been around cuz I've heard it many times since then, but that was the first time I heard it. I believe it was in 1994.

There was also another episode where Chandler and Monica were planning to live together. Rachel had to move out, but she had trouble finding an apartment, so Monica told her that she could live with her and Chandler for a while. Rachel got up from the couch and on her way to her room, she turned around and said, Hey, guys...'Come and knock on our door.' Then Monica went, We'll be waiting for you...

LOL...It's so funny hearing TC mentioned in other shows. It truly is a phenomenon. Do you guys know of other shows that have made referrences to TC?

I remember watching Sister Sister and Tamera was not allowed to watch TV so she started to sing theme songs from Sitcomes and going over the shows in her mind and one of them was TC and she said that that was the episode where Jack tries to convence the girls to get in the hot tube w/him!?!!?

Of course there was also the spoof of Three's Company on 8 Simple Rules!

Janet Tripper · 11-20-2003, 12:05 AM

"Full House" also had the characters singing to the theme song of Three's Company in season 8. It was funny!

Mr. Cannon · 12-03-2003, 12:08 PM

I know of two or three references on "The Family Guy" as well.
One of the writers is definitly a fan.

Yeah, I noticed that too! I was goin to sleep one day and then I heard the TC theme song, then I heard (omg, I can't remember his name right now) but the father's voice then I heard the TC theme song again and I'm like, what's goin on? And then I opened my eyes and put on N@N and Cosby Show was on... so I came to the conclusion that Family Guy was playing the TC theme song and driving me nuts!

Yup. John Stamos had to sing to keep Michelle's donkey awake.

That 70s Show did three times.Once was when they went on that trip,and Hyde said "do you know the theme song of Threes Company?"Then Hyde,Jackie and Laurie started singing it(that was when Kelso was dating Jackie and Laurie at the same time).Then another time they were talking about having a problem,and Hyde said "letsthink,what would Jack & Chrissy do at a time like this?"The last time was Kelso saying to Fez "Mr.Roper from Threes Company drinks this."

You just reminded me! While You Were Out had somethin where the crew was makin a bed that looked more like a hammock and the designer was showing the host what she bought to make the bed pretty. The designer showed her some garland and the host said, "I think I saw Mrs. Roper wear this once!"
