"Going to Pot" - What's so wrong about it? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

swedeace · 02-17-2004, 11:38 PM

Just as I thought, I just knew I had this episode somewhere in my VHS recordings from 2002, and I came across the infamous "Going to Pot" episode! It's recorded from TNN, and it's an episode I have rarely watched (counting last night, it was my second time remembering watching it - mind you, I was very young when TC started airing syndications in the mid to late 80s and cannot remember all episodes).

So...... I have only one question to ask: What is so wrong about this episode? I mean, it was JUST a misunderstanding, right? Isn't that what the jist of Three's Company entails? Looking at the episode, it just wasn't THAT bad. It was funny, overall. Jack with his usual funny physical comedy. I mean, what about that Roseanne "pot" episode? And it was a family show!

I have taken the liberty to take some digital screenshots of the episode to post for all of you who haven't seen it or want "new" images. Have fun with them!

This first image is where Jack is telling Janet about the inspector who bribed Jack at Jack's Bistro.

The second image is where Jack has the briber coming over, adn Jack is secretly recording his words to send as proof to the police.

The third is where two officers think Mr. Furley is the "pot" dealer.

Furley putting the moves on the lady officer....

swedeace · 02-17-2004, 11:50 PM

Jack telling the officer to look at the man who is the briber, but the officer keeps his eye on Furley because of that "pot" misunderstanding.

The "pot" is being discovered..... finally!!

I guess that's why I never heard back from you-LOL Because you located the episode in your collection.

I think its dumb how they show Roseanne eps of weed and how Roseanne actually got high in an episode and they showed it, but they can't show this.

Vegas Girl · 02-20-2004, 07:32 AM

I agree. They're not actually using marijuana - it was just a misinterpretation of a conversation. Where's the harm?

There's no harm!

I agree that there is nothing wrong with this episode! I also don't understand why there ok with Rosanne actually smoking a joint andgetting high but not ok to show this ep.? Does not make any sense.

Daffyfan2004 · 02-20-2004, 11:22 AM

I remember that episode. That was a really good one. I think they still play it in syndication, but I don't know. It was quite a few years ago since I saw it.

DawgHawk · 02-20-2004, 09:03 PM

Doesn't Nick at Nite ever get messages from fans to show this episode? Hasn't N@N seen all these message boards and websites about how bad people feel because they can't watch this very episode? I wish they could just air it and make every 3's comp fan happy again.
