Now, that doesn't mean everything she brought was a hit with every viewer, but she did add more to the performance than what was on the page. Priscilla Barnes felt instantly overwhelmed when she got the THREE'S COMPANY job. In interviews, she's spoken about how she was flooded with requests for fan magazine interviews or to appear on talk shows before she even started filming any of her episodes. She felt the attention was unearned and it frightened her. Which, to be fair, what did she expect when accepting a job as yet another replacement on a Top 10 network sitcom in the early 1980s? Apparently, Priscilla went to the producers and asked off the show, but they held her to her three-year contract. This, along with her being uncomfortable with all the attention, caused the producers to sideline her character. I'm sure it showed up in her performance as Terri, too. Likewise, I have no fondness for Jenilee Harrison on DALLAS. For me, she was mere Afton-filler for Cliff, and not necessarily a good one. She is quite pretty and funny on THREE'S COMPANY. I might need to review her episodes again. They're on Peacock, but they're the butchered syndicated cuts that run like 20 minutes long.</blockquote>
