What do you think? Are you a fan of Three’s Company? Will you watch the 40th anniversary special?
What channel is Three’s company on
I’m a real fan of the show. John Ritter is the all time best physical comic of modern times. And with his sitcom characters, Janet, Cindy, Terri, Larry, Stanley, Helen, Ralph and Lana all helped to make a great show.
Liked this show when I was a kid, still do….. watching 40th. Anniversary and it is still funny.
Great show it was, RIP John Ritter…
I love it. Record on my DVR. I wasn’t allowed to watch it as a child but my dad LOVED It. I HATE tv now. Watch only old shows
I love Three’s Company. OHave watched them over and over. Really would like to watch the reunion, but I can find that channel:(
I’m very sad
My fiancé is a HUGE fan and we need to know how to get the 40 reunion on AT&T Uverse
Three’s Company is one of my favorite shows of all-time. I laugh and laugh each time I watch an episode. I can’t wait for the show to come back on prime time. RIP Jack Tripper.
I thought Suzanne Somers and Joyce DeWitt had made up and were no longer enemies. I will always love Three’s Company but Suzanne was still an important part of that classic threesome. Too bad they couldn’t set aside their differences long enough for this reunion.
I watch reruns every night on utube. To bad they don’t make shows like that anymore
Terrific show. I watch reruns every night on utube. Too bad they don’t make shows like that any more
I watch episodes over and over as much as I Love Lucy episodes. Never get bored of watching. It’s classic history.
