Rating: Summary: The Extras Make The Set Review: This is a really great DVD collection. I notice some nit-picking among the reviews but compared to other releases that had NO extras "What's Happening" (which also lost several leading characters) and "Good Times", this DVD collection is well worth it. The four disc set has all of the episodes from the second season of "Three's Company." The extras really make the set, the never before seen pilot, the John Ritter tributes, the blooper reels. The price is just right for this set and I personally think the second season episodes are among the funniest. I hope that future sets will follow. I for one think the packaging is awesome and the designs are nice.

Rating: Summary: Finally - We Can Reminisce! Review: Three's Company, Season Two is a great DVD set for fans of the sitcom. They say a television series is either made or cancelled by the merits of its second crucial season and Three's Company came through with shining colors. Watching these episodes last night clearly showed me why this particular sitcom became such a sensation so quickly overnight. There's almost too many hilarious episodes in this set. My particular favorite is "Strange Bed Fellows", always one of the funniest of all Three's Company episodes. The chemistry between Norman Fell and John Ritter was rare and made for endless laughs that never seemed to get tired or redundant. In this set you get the complete season two, as well as some pretty fun extras. I got a kick out of watching the first ever filmed ppilot original where Jack is named David and there's two completely other actresses playing the parts of his much more flirtacious roomates and Mister Roper is named "George" while Mrs Roper seems much harder-edged and hard. I'm happy they decided to make the changes they did, but it's fascinating to imagine what the show would have been had it continued along these lines instead. True, the episodes themselves are mastered somewhat lesser than I would truly wish for, being a lifelong fan of the show since my childhood. But I have been told that this is probably about as good a quality as you can expect from digitizing an older TV show. I really can't say? There's even a fun trivia game included with a surprise reward at the end. Overall, this is a fun set and is priced very low considering all that you're getting. After seeing Loni Anderson make a cameo role in one of the episodes, I got a brilliant idea: I can't wait for someone to begin releasing yearly series of the ultra-classic TV sitcom "WKRP In Cincinatti"! Please!
Rating: Summary: The #1 sitcom of the 70's in beautiful DVD color! Review: Well this is a priceless DVD set with season #2. The first set was only six(6) shows and was a summer replacement show. With the recent passing of John Ritter which shocked all of us,this collection of 25 shows shows Jack at his best. It's both pure humor as well as slapstick where all ages will laugh and keep on laughing. Watching Jack live with the girls is not to be missed! And don't forget the other character actors such as the Ropers/Larry etc. and you have the whole barrel of monkeys. Pick it up today as these plots started the all of the future comedy shows Jack Tripper(John Ritter) was a first rate comedian and he will be missed and with this collection you will watch over and over again! Chrissy! Janet!
Rating: Summary: Bizarro World. Review: When I first got the 2nd season I went straight to the unaired pilot. It was like the Bizarro world/Twilight Zone episode. First the funky yet odd opening scene and music. The Brunette girl (wannabe Janet) is not really a good actress. And what's up with the Ditzy blonde? The apartment is setup differently. Jack's I mean Dave's (lol) room is next to the washroom. And what's the deal with Mrs. Roeper looking like a disco diva with an attitude? She really let the roommates have it. Though this pilot is not that funny, I would recommend buying the 2nd season just for this alone, as for the rest of the extras and all the episodes are awesome!!!
Rating: Summary: 5 Stars for the Show, 0 Stars for DVD Cover Art Review: Why would Anchor Bay use a group photo of Jack, Janet, and Chrissy dating from 1980 for their Season One DVD cover which began in 1977? And now for the Season Two front slipcover they used a photo that already appeared on the back cover of the Season One DVD? This was a very creative, funny, and popular sitcom during it's heyday and a little extra thought on the design for the covers would have been much appreciated. Keeping it concise with a chronological order. Anchor Bay should take example from the 'Friends' DVD series for cover art ideas.
Rating: Summary: Three's Company is a classic! Review: Yeah, I too went straight for the first pilot! Wow, that was wierd! Thank God for Joyce and Suzanne! I can't wait to see the second pilot with Joyce and without Suzanne! I was impressed with the quality of the bloopers. The John Ritter tribute is definitely emotional and I can tell Joyce DeWitt was getting teary-eyed doing it. I hope they continue the high quality production on the upcoming seasons. Three's company was at it's best in seasons 3 through 6. Thank you "Anchor Bay" for giving this classic the tribute it deserves. Why can't Columbia/Sony/Tristar do that with their shows. It's a shame that some of my other favorite shows are distributed by that company. Keep up the good work Anchor Bay!
