I remember it, but I didn't know it last two seasons. There was also a post-Three's Company series with John Ritter that didn't last very long.WestwayKid wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 2:18pmI only recently learned that there was a Three's Company spin off called The Ropers that somehow managed to last 2 seasons.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 1:45pmWasn't Three's Company about the humour from clear communication and an aversion to half-baked schemes?JennyB wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 1:26pmAnd usually, i think, there was some sort of wacky misunderstanding.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2019, 9:02pmI know I watched the show at the time, but I remember so little of it besides Norman Fell grinning at the camera and Don Knotts' lemur eyes.

Yeah, that was it. Again, vague recollection of what it was about.

I saw the pilot for it. If I recall correctly (and lord knows my memory is fickle), the pilot literally flowed directly from the final of 3’s Company so it was a continuous broadcast.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 3:14pmYeah, that was it.

Re: Today I learned …
What's weird about that spin-off/rebranding is that John Ritter was clearly the guy ready to go off and do better things, but he was the only one continuing a 3C character. They must have offered a conveyor belt of money to him to keep at it.Wolter wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 3:31pmI saw the pilot for it.

Re: Today I learned …
They apparently did everything they could to keep the rest of the cast in complete darkness over the cancellation of Three's Company and the debut of Three's A Crowd. Joyce DeWitt chanced upon auditions for the new show when she stopped by the studio to set up her dressing room for when production resumed after the winter filming hiatus.

Re: Today I learned …
That … speaks poorly of John Ritter that, as the clear star, he'd participate in keeping his castmates in the dark about their professional future.
