Summary: I Wish Ratings Could Go Higher Than 5 Stars!
Review: I know there are people who didn't like Three's Company and thought it was too silly but I think they just didn't give it a chance. My older sister who is ten years older than me doesn't like it and thinks it's too silly but when this show aired she was in college and out partying so she didn't really watch it and I was 11, just a few months shy of turning 12 and I really liked Three's Company and thought it was funny and I practically grew up waching this show which in my opinion is a classic show of the 70s/80s. Joyce Dewitt and Suzanne Somers were very good as Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow and so were Norman Fell and Audra Lindley as landlords Stanley and Helen Roper but my favorite of all was John Ritter as Jack Tripper, he was so cute and funny and he will be greatly missed! Jack's friend Larry played by Richard Kline only appears in one episode in the first season but thankfully becomes a regular for the rest of the seasons and I hope to see 8 Simple Rules on DVD too. I'm glad I ordered this DVD from Amazon. The DVD only has 6 episodes because the first season was a mid season replacement. All of the 6 episode are very funny, I don't have one favorite but I like them all the same. The price of the DVD is very reasonable and proceeds are being donated to UCP (United Cerebral Palsy) in memory of John who's brother Tom has CP. A very worthy cause! More companies putting TV show DVD's out should donate proceeds to charities! I very highly recommend this DVD and I'm looking forward to the second season and all the rest of the seasons being out on DVD! John Ritter will be missed but never forgotten!

Summary: A Great DVD That Encapsulizes One Of The Greatest Sitcoms
Review: Readers, when you purchase this dvd, put on the pilot episode (entitled "Man About The House"), and fast - foward to the scene were Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers) finds Jack Tripper (John Ritter) asleep in the bathtub, drenched in water. It is not only one of the funniest moments in tv history, but the scene that shows what a genius Ritter really was.

The release of "Three's Company" on dvd is a bittersweet event for the show's fan. While it's great to have this piece of television history to watch anytime you'd like, it's also sad because comes just months after John Ritter's shocking and untimely death. But as a tribute to his life and career, it's great to have.

And I'm not saying that Ritter was the only actor who made the people laugh. Somers and Joyce DeWitt (Janet Wood) set up most of the gags that happened on the show, and sometimes outdid Ritter. And who can forget the late Norman Fell and Audra Lindley as Mr. Roper and his sex - hungry wife Helen. Their one -liners against each other were every bit as funny as Ritter getting smashed by a door or Somers delivering one of her stupid comments. Making an early appearance is Larry, played flawlessly by the highly underrated Richard Kline. He appears briefly in "No Children, No Dogs".

As for the episodes, the pilot is an absolute classic. "No Children, No Dogs" and "It's Only Money" are excellent as well (the former features some of the best insluts between Helen and Stanley). As for the other three, they are good too, but not worth mentioning.

My only gripe about this dvd is that there are no extras. No advertisements or a making - of documentary. I do not know if Anchor Bay meant to do this right from the start or they did out of respect for John Ritter. But it doesn't matter, since the complete second season is coming out on dvd in March and is supposed to be loaded with extra. Until then, this will keep you satisfid for a long time and you'll remember that three's company, too.

Summary: John Ritter was the man
Review: I would have to say that Threes Company is probably one of my all time favorite television sitcoms. I remember trying to watch it when I was a kid but couldnt because the material was deemed to sexually offensive by my parents. Fortunatly I was able to catch the show when I was older and have watched it when I could catch it in reruns. Thanks to Tv Land that was everynight. I would have to say that the release of this DVD was something I had not expected and was very suprised to find it at the store.
All six episodes from season one are here to watch and enjoy anytime you like. Sound quality is good and the picture is also pretty good. If you do buy this dvd its for the terrific performances of John Ritter, Norman Fell and Audrey Lindley. The only complanint I had with the Dvd is that it does not have a play all feature on the main menu so if a show ends you have to start another one instead of the shows playing straight through.

Summary: Woo Hoo! Just picked it up!
Review: FINALLY! No more need to keep knocking on the door -- It's here in all it's 70s glory! The first season of Three's Company has arrived and I'm here to tell you about it.

Well, it is only six episodes -- but all on one disc. Reason being is that Three's Company was a mid-season replacement so there's only six to begin with.

Not much on the extras, but a nice bonus. From the menu, you get to pick which one you want to watch and when you select it, it has a quick written overview of each episode. Unusual and nice for a DVD TV series. Bad part is, once you watch an episode, you can't hit the forward button to pass up the credits or go to the next scene -- it automatically ends the episode taking you back to the main menu.

Otherwise, you'll be happy to know that a percentage of the cost of the first season DVD will go to John Ritter's favorite charity for cerebral palsy (something his older brother suffered from) and that the next season will have more of a tribute to John. So, whereas the contents are fairly minimal, the price is definitely worth it and more will come in the next disc.

No more waiting for you "Door Knockers" out there -- Three's Company is here to stay.

Summary: Three's Company
Review: That's the best comedy I have ever seen before and I love it. I am looking forward to have the season 2 or more in the coming months. I had seen this comedy in the early '80 on TV during my study in Canada. Until recently, I found it on the shelf of HMV in Hong Kong. The comedy is so warm and humour and all the actors (especially the landlords & Rita) are terrific in the show.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: One wet and sticky day, my mom asked me if I wanted to watch the "Three's Company" DVD. I reluctantly agreed, but 1 minute later, I was cracked up. Sure, this series is old, but that doesn't take away how funny it is. This is sure to live on for a long time. I just wish that there were more episodes in season one.

Summary: Come and knock on their door!
Review: This package contains all six episodes from the first season of ABC's hit sitcom THREE'S COMPANY. It premiered on March 15,1977 starring the late John Ritter as Jack Tripper,a young handsome aspiring chef who was then studying the culinary arts. Joyce DeWitt is Janet Wood,a brunette beauty who works in a flower shop and Suzanne Somers as blonde beauty Chrissy Snow who immediately interests Jack in many ways. Supporting cast members are the late Audra Lindley as Helen Roper and the late Norman Fell as Helen's husband Stanley. Stanley and Helen are the trio's landlords. In the first episode,Jack is asleep in the bathtub following a drinking binge from a party given by Janet and Chrissy the previous evening. The party was for Eleanor,Jack's predecessor in apartment 201. Eleanor had gotten married and given birth to a seven-pound and nine-ounce baby boy. So after Jack cooks a delicious breakfast for Janet and Chrissy,they invite him to be their new roommate. When Jack introduces himself to the Ropers,who live directly below the trio,he tells them he's moving in. But Stanley strongly denies until Janet told him Jack was gay(Stanley could never fathom a straight male platonically living with two straight women). In episode #2,Jack arrives with his belongings via taxicab from the YMCA where he previously resided,to apartment 201. He rings the bell,but instead of a chime he hears Stanley reacting to the electricity immersing in him as he was fixing the doorbell. Chrissy's mother came to L.A. for a dentist's appointment and planned to stay at the apartment. She sleeps in what would become Jack's bedroom and Jack sleeps on the couch(Jack would do that whenever there were house guests). In episode #3,it's Chrissy's birthday and the trio would celebrate amongst themselves. Stanley's young beautiful niece Karen is staying with the Ropers and Stanley pays Jack $50 to take her out despite Stanley believes Jack is gay. Jack promised the date would only last 20 minutes and he would come back home in time for the birthday celebration. Janet and Chrissy are furious with Jack. On the date,Jack who drives Stanley's car,had some trouble with it. It overheated on the freeway. He uses the $50 to reclaim the cameo Janet had hocked a while back for rent money. Jack and Karen are kissing in the Ropers' apartment and when the Ropers awake,Stanley catches Jack and Karen and immediately evicts him from apartment 201("He was acting normal,that's sick!"). The eviction is cancelled after Karen,according to Stanley,practically attacked Jack and he showed no interest. In episode #4,Jack brings home a puppy,unaware that pets are forbidden in the apartment. Richard Kline as Larry Dallas,makes his first appearance on the show. Jack owed Larry $25 and Jack took the puppy to cancel the debt. Larry would later become Jack's best friend and the trio's upstairs neighbor. The trio parents the dog until Helen takes it in. A sleepwalking Chrissy planted the dog on the Ropers' doorstep. Helen declares the dog an anniversary present from Stanley. In episode #5,the trio redecorate the apartment and take a break to go to the neighborhood pub,the Regal Beagle,first seen in episode #2. There,at the bar are two guys and one of them takes interest in Chrissy. Chrissy feels harassed by the guy. He overhears Jack telling Janet and Chrissy that men are naturally stronger than women. He,the "creep",finds a "man" in the joint,Stanley. The "creep" accidentally spills Stanley's brandy and asks the bartender to give Stanley another one. Later Jack finally gets tough with the creep and for his(Jack's) so-called heroism,is given an on-the-house shot of whiskey. The creep harassed both Janet and Chrissy. In episode #6,Janet and Chrissy are out $300 in back rent money. Thinking the money was stolen,they call the police. Jack tries to get $300 from the financial aid department at his college and is denied. Janet and Chrissy don't realize until the end,that they had already paid the rent. Stanley naturally took the money,in an envelope with the word 'rent' on it, while doing a repair job. But he failed to leave a receipt indicating he received the payment(the tenant's/s' copy was still attached to his receipt book!).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CLASSIC
Review: Classic episodes. Need I say more. The only reason I give it four and not five stars is because the collection lacks any significant extras. But that promises to be different when season two comes out. Can't wait!!!!
