[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 438625, member: 7"] You know, I've never seen THREE'S A CROWD, and I've never really had a strong desire to so. From what I gather, the show was basically an attempt by ABC to keep John Ritter on their lineup in some form of a sitcom. The issue is THREE'S COMPANY had limped into exhaustion by its final season, which something even Ritter himself later admitted. Ritter said the show started "ripping off themselves", or something similar, when relaying the similarities between a first season and final season episode premise. I honestly don't know how any of them thought THREE'S A CROWD was going to work. John Ritter was a very good physical comic and was quite good delivering a punchline, but ABC should've shaken things up and given him something entirely new to do. I understand their desire to keep him in a sitcom and their decision in building on the established THREE'S COMPANY brand, but the show had just worn itself out. He needed something new to move forward. [/QUOTE]
