[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438243, member: 5079"] Interesting. I knew THREE'S COMPANY was based on a British sitcom, but didn't know the scripts were such direct translations. Lots of '70s American sitcoms were pilfered from the UK, but I thought they were just borrowed premises. Now I wonder how many scripts ALL IN THE FAMILY or SANFORD & SON were direct copies. Funniest thing about the comparison video: except for baby-faced John Ritter, all of the men in that video looked SO OLD. When the British guy made a joke about 30 being old I thought, "come on man, you look 50". And then the 30 year old showed up looking even older. In the US version, the "40" year old (Dick Sargent, an actor I've never liked) showed up, my reaction was "damn, he looks 60". [/QUOTE]
