Rating: Summary: Miss you already Review: I have almost every episode on VHS videotape and they are now falling apart. Whenever I am in a "blah" mood and need a "pick-me-up"...bam I pop in an old tape. I had recorded them all on VHS at LP mode to fit six hours of shows per tape....man am I glad to see them coming on DVD and I already pre-ordered season one. I live in Los Angeles area and I actually went to at least 30 tapings of the show over the span of it's TV production run. Can't wait to see the DVD version.....(I only hope they kept the bloopers/outtakes and interviews, etc. and they make it to the DVD's as 'special bonus features".) They goofed up sometimes and the studio audience always loved it!John Ritter's humor and schtick filtered it's way into my style of bartending when I worked for TGI Friday's in the 80's. It helped my tip income for sure. I hope they put out "Hooperman" on DVD and only wish Hooperman could have been given a better chance than the one season run it had. BUY this DVD if you love humor that is timeless at times it seems John borrowed from the great ones like the Stooges, Abbott and Costello and the young Jerry Lewis and put his own touch on it....The ladies on the show gave John the perfect platform to do his thing! Joyce, we wish you would work more, we love you too! To the Producers: if you read this, get those DVD's released like Friends is doing FAST !!! Enjoy the memories of John and the rest of the crew, they were the best! I miss his humor already.

Rating: Summary: jack, janet, and chrissy Review: The first season of Three's Company. One of the funniest sitcoms around. The story of two girls, who need a roommate. After throwing a party (in the first episode) Janet and Chrissy find a man sleeping in their bathtub. . .eventually, they become roommates. A lot of storylines on the show revolved around misconceptions, and misunderstandings. The on-going joke that the landlord thinks that Jack is gay. In the first three seasons, the landlords are an older couple named The Ropers. And their on-going joke about him not wanting to sleep with her. Kind of like Al Bundy, on Married...with Children. Guaranteed many laughs. Rest in peace John Ritter.
Rating: Summary: Three's Company is the best show ever!!!! Review: Three's Company is a great show with a great cast. It defined the way T.V. is today. It it weren't for the racey undertones of this show there would be no Joey, Rachel, Ross, Phobe, Chandler, Monica, and they would definatly wouldn't be friends. Chrissy, Terry, and Cindy are Phobe's long lost relatives...Jack Tripper is Joey..Janet is Monica..Of course Chrissy was the hot one, so Rachel is her too.Larry is Chandler all the way..Ross is Mr. Furley/Mr. Roper..LOL Anyway, the show is great whether "Friends" folled in it's footsteps or not..Every most own all the seasons...
Rating: Summary: A Great DVD Caputring One Of The Greatest Sitcoms Ever Review: The 1970s' marked the rise of the sitcom. There were early signs of this in the 1960s' with shows like "The Nelsons" and "The Donna Reed Show". Shows like "All In The Family" were among the first hit sitcoms, But the sitcoom boom didn't really take off untila round 1974, when "Happy Days" and "Good Times" hit the air. These shows opened the door for a long line of sitcom hits - "The Jeffersons", "The Facts Of Life", "Barney Miller" and many others to name a few. Thrown into this barrage of sitcoms was "Three's Company". It turned out to be tv gold, garnering huge ratings and making star out of Joyce DeWitt, Suzanne Somers and, of course, the late John Ritter. "Three's Company" was first aired in 1977. Shows like the ones I just mentioned were in their peak period. But "Three's Company" was different from most. Its plotline was more risque:a man living in an apartment pretending to be gay in order to live with 3 lovely women, much to the dismay of the sexually problmeatic landlords, The Ropers (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley). But the show worked. For starters, the acting was great. The three stars had a full understanding of their charcters' characteristics. Plus, the show as well - written with many great oneliners. The release of this dvd was bittersweet, coming out about 11 weeks after the shocking and untimely death of John Ritter from heart failure. And anyon who thinks this was a way to cash in on Ritter's death is wrong because his dvd was scheduled for release long before his passing. The episodes here are hilarious. The first episode is the pilot, "Man About The House". This one gives a very good introduction to the characters; Chrissy, the sexy and stupid blonde who attracts all different kinds of men, Janet the plain but pretty girl who would kill to get a good man, and of course Jack, the bumbling skirtchaser who pretends he's gay to live with the two girl. Actually, at first he just wants to make it with Chrissy, but as the series goes on he grows to love Janet just as much. The other episodes are all good except for the one entitled "Roper's Niece". I just didn't like this one. But my favorites were "No Children, No Dogs" (featuring the first appearance of richard Kline's Larry) and "It's Only Money". Overall, a great dvd. With season 2 just released, I cn't wait for seasons and 4. However, seasons 5 - 8 I can wait for. During these years, Suzanne Somers was fired from the show and replaced with the flacid Terry played Priscilla Barnes. Jack started to become less attracted to the girls in the aprtment and focused more on his job. Pity it had to end that way. If they had kept Chrissy til the end, it could've lasted longer.
Rating: Summary: Excellent investment with a minor glitch Review: I haven't watched THREE's COMPANY in 7 years. I own every single episode of the series on VHS but I decided to purchase this DVD because I read the good reviews concerning the quality. Indeed the quality is great but the smart ear will hear some audio changes on the episode "Roper's niece". All of a sudden the sound becomes slighly inconsistent with the rest of the episode for about a minute going back and forth; you will hear certain sentences on the right side of your TV speakers and then switching to the left; you must really have very sharp ears to notice this change. Overall great transfer and great investment.
