Confession Time...
I loved the show Three's Company!I did, it was so funny! Jack, Janet, and Chrissy/Terri/Cindy, those cards. I always wanted one girl and one guy roommate.
Then there was Larry, the perv-y kinda friend of Jack's always scamming on the ladies.
The Roper's were funny. How it was so taboo to have guys and girls living together platonically and how Jack had to be gay for it to be okay. Mrs. Roper secretely new he wasn't, she was cool. I loved her MuuMuu flowy-dress getups.
Then
It was a GREAT show!
In the 80's I had my trusty cassette-tape player and a blank tape and I would audio record the shows. Yes, I did.
When my family would take a car ride, I would listen (without headphones people!) to the shows in the car. That was my entertainment.
Don't feel sorry for me, I loved it. I had some of those shows memorized!
Ahh, to have a drink at the Regal Beagle!
If you want to reminisce a bit, here are some bloopers...
My Hubby likes to tease me about it now. Like Dukes of Hazzard and Chips were any better. He can only dream as being as cool as Ponch or Bo Duke. ;)

AWESOME! My fave is Jack Ritter! I watched him in everything through "8 Simple Rules for Dating my Daughter". He was PHENOMINAL!

October 20, 2008 at 9:57 AM
I loved that show too! It is so funny to go back and watch the older shows. They are so cheesy now!
October 20, 2008 at 10:03 AM

I also LOVED the Dukes.
October 20, 2008 at 10:14 AM
I loved it! Add Love Boat and Charlie's Angels and I'd be one happy camper!
October 20, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Wait -- this isn't a confession. This is a CLUB we should start! I can quote TC as much as I can quote Friends! I used to watch all the reruns after school every day in the 80's, and I loved loved LOVED this show. I still get choked up at the scene where Janet's about to get married and Jack talks to her in the bedroom. *gulp* I love that we have this in common!

This was great, I loved that show too. I did the cassette thing also. So glad to know I was not alone.
October 20, 2008 at 11:08 AM

October 20, 2008 at 11:20 AM
NO WAY! that is soooo freakin' awesome. I love that you audio recorded that brilliant show. I really think this may be my favorite post. Seriously, that is so awesome.
October 20, 2008 at 11:25 AM
I was a HUGE Three's Company fan! I even wrote John Ritter a fan letter at age 5. Looking back on it now, I think it is funny that my mom let me watch the show when I was 5. I guess the adult humor just went over my head. Thanks for the memories!
October 20, 2008 at 12:07 PM
honestly i didnt even notice. where did you say that at?
October 20, 2008 at 12:12 PM
this was one of my FAVE shows when I was little. I still watch it when it is on with re-runs. I have the made for tv three's co. movie on tape too. And the show where they all spoke about Three's Co. (like true hollywood story type of thing)
I also have Dukes of Hazzard on dvd. And when I was little, by gpa taped them for us. We had every episode on tape at one point.

I love Threes Company...it used to be on Nick at Nite all the time and I just loved it! What a catchy theme song they have!
October 20, 2008 at 3:15 PM
OMG, Jen, I love it too! I used to watch reruns all the time in the middle of the night when I was nursing the baby. I used to laugh out loud and wake everyone up :-) I always wanted Jack and Janet to get together . . .
October 20, 2008 at 3:29 PM
I cried like a baby when John Ritter died. I felt like Ihad lost a friend. I LOVED that show. Thank you!!! "hers and hers and his. Three's company, too"
October 20, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Three's Company rocked. Not so much the later ones when they moved from the upstairs apartment though.
October 20, 2008 at 4:33 PM
I also loved Three's COmpany and I thought Jack Tripper was simply dreamy!!
October 20, 2008 at 5:13 PM
I totally LOVE 3's Company!
They sure don't make sitcoms like they use to. Now it's all sex and cheating on each other. Pitiful.
October 20, 2008 at 5:52 PM
OMG...I loved that show! LOVED it.
Come and knock on my dooooor...

October 21, 2008 at 3:45 AM
Loved that show, too! We watch a lot of the old re-runs. We're old now. They're like new to us. We don't remember them. My daughter loves them, too. She's so funny. She watches Sanford and Son! lol Have a great day!
October 21, 2008 at 6:21 AM

It was wonderful for its time!

Just brings back so many silly memories!
Thanks for reminding me!
October 21, 2008 at 11:07 AM

October 21, 2008 at 12:40 PM
I loved it too, and Jack was my favorite.
October 21, 2008 at 4:13 PM
My favs were when Crissy was on. It was so sad when John Ritter died. He was great!
October 21, 2008 at 4:26 PM
I loved 3's company, too. I remember watching and thinking it was a riot when I was in elementary school. What great memories!
October 21, 2008 at 6:36 PM
I think (don't shoot me) Three's Company may have been a little before my time ;)
I was an '88 baby, and didn't really start watching TV shows until I was a teenager (no TV household, thaaaaanks Mom...I missed out on a lot of Barney, et al.)
That was pretty funny though ;)
October 22, 2008 at 7:14 AM
I love Three's Company! We love all the late 70s early 80s shows. We honestly watch more of those via Netflix than we do modern tv.
October 22, 2008 at 10:04 AM
I loved watching the reruns after school! I think I've seen every episode about 20 times:) My aunt thought it was horrible and didn't let her kids watch it. I'm glad my parents weren't so stuffy!
October 22, 2008 at 4:58 PM
TV was cool back then. I was Daisy back in the day. Short shorts & all. LOL
