DVD Three's Company - Season Two
The second season of the much-loved TV sitcom Three's Company arrives on DVD with enough extras to satisfy even the most rabid fan. After making a splash during its first-season run in 1976, ABC parked the show in its unstoppable Tuesday night lineup (following Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley and preceding Soap) for the 1977-78 season, where it exploded into one of primetime's biggest successes. The secret to the show was its naughty-but-harmless tone, which was capably delivered by its talented cast. Though Suzanne Somers was the breakout star, John Ritter's effortless physical and verbal comedy won respect among viewers. All 25 episodes of the second season are compiled in the six-disc set, highlights of which include appearances by Richard Kline's hapless Larry in four episodes (before he joined the cast in season 4), Jack's turn as a nude model in "Jack Takes a Job," an amusing Christmas episode ("Three's Christmas"), and Loni Anderson in the season closer, "Coffee, Tea or Jack."
Fans who bemoaned the lack of extras on Anchor Bay's first-season set will be bowled over by the wealth of supplemental material compiled here. Chief among the treasures is the never-aired original pilot (one of two) featuring Ritter as "David" opposite Valerie Curtin and Suzanne Zenor; penned by M*A*S*H's Larry Gelbart, the episode is much wittier than many of the actual series scripts, but ABC jettisoned it in favor of racier fare from All in the Family scribes Don Nicholl, Mickey Ross, and Bernie West. Chris Mann, author of the Three's Company compendium Come and Knock on Our Door offers commentary for the episode "Days of Beer and Weeds," while Joyce DeWitt narrates an affectionate tribute to Ritter. The extras are rounded out by a fun blooper reel, season 2 "best of" moments (Ritter gets a series-length retrospective), a trivia game, and an exhaustive memorabilia gallery that reveals the scope of the show's success during its fledgling seasons. Like a scoop of ice cream on a hot day, Three's Company's second season is light, refreshing, and pleasantly nostalgic entertainment. --Paul Gaita
Three's Company is a really funny show and the second season is one of the best seasons and filled with hilarious episodes. John Ritter, Joyce Dewitt and Susanne Somers are all great as roomates Jack Tripper, Janet Wood and Chrissie Snow, the three share an apartment and Janet is the smart girl who works in a flower store and Chrissie is the bubble headed blonde who works as a secretary and Jack is the fun-loving guy who is taking courses at a culinary school so he can become a gourmet chef and the notorious skirt chaser is pretending to be gay so the old fashioned landlord Mr. Roper will let him room with two girls. This is a funny show and highly recommended!

Very Cool
I have to say is that the Unaired pilot was very different from what I thought it would be. The writting, I thought, was much better than in 'Man about the house'. The theme music in the beginning was horrible! I'am so glad they fixed that. I liked Valarie Curtin as 'Jenny' but I didn't like Suzanne Zenor as 'Samantha'. But we all know that the right decision with casting Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers.
I like the way the box-set is layed out. It's very cool that it's in a book like case. The special features are great:)
The DVD release of Three's Company's first season should be a cause for celebration for fans of the wildly popular sitcom; it arrives, however, just two months after the September 2003 death of star John Ritter, and so the DVD serves as a memorial to his comic talents as well as a long-awaited collectible. Launched on a six-episode trial run in the spring of 1977, Three's Company's first season immediately won over viewers with its racy scenario--a single man (Ritter) moves in with two single women (Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers) and avoids the wrath of his landlords (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley) by pretending to be gay--and double entrendre-laden gags. Regardless of whether you think it was one of TV's funniest or most puerile series, Three's Company did bring...

Season five of Three's Company while remains consistantly funny, it is also the year that is known as the last season that Suzanne Somers appeared in, and then, in only two full episodes.
In year five, Three's Company was sold into syndication making a ton of money for the producers, and its three stars in terms of residuals if Somers and her husband had looked in the long term; but Somers and her husband tried to re-negotiate while the show was in full production for more money. Somers started to miss work, conveniently blaming it on a back injury she sustained. So entered Cindy Snow, played by Jennilee Harrison.
With all due respect, Harrison was not an experienced actress, much less an experienced comedic actress. Unlike Priscilla Barnes, whom the producers... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): John Ritter DVD Release Date: 15 November 2005

As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and the second season of The Golden Girls picks up where the first ended. The same classic quartet--Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia--is back, along with their snappy retorts, shoulder pads, and cheesecake. Well, there was one change. In the season premiere, "End of the Curse," Blanche (Rue McClanahan) goes through menopause.
Highlights of the 26 episodes include "Ladies of the Evening," featuring a cameo from Burt Reynolds, just a few years prior to his own network sitcom, Evening Shade. As Blanche exclaims, "Mr. Burt Reynolds is one of our finest living actors...I mean, you put Sir Laurence Olivier in Cannonball Run--see what he can do." Then there's "Isn't It Romantic?" with Lois Nettleton (In... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 17 May 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
