The Absolute Best Year of Three's Company!!!!
For me, this classic sitcom came into its own during its fourth year.
While many lamented the Ropers' departure, Don Knotts' Ralph Furley was more than adequate enough replacement for the two. In fact, after the Ropers left, it was as if the entire show had a face lift and had new blood pumped into it.
Joyce DeWitt looked her best this year, trading in big hair and frumpy clothes for a short sexy spiky 'do and body hugging designer jeans. Richard Kline finally became a full-fledge regular, and last but not least was Ann Wedgeworth's Lana Shields, who practically steals every scene she was in.
The antics and zaniness was turn up to the nth degree in season four, mainly due to Suzanne Somer's Chrissy, who had de-evolve from someone who was just naive to someone who was so dumb you wonder how on earth did she ever get through the day, much less hold a job. But in any case, her radical transformation of the character generated some of the biggest and most memorable laughs in the series's history.
Sadly, the series' success got into Ms. Somer's head, and this year turn out to be the last full year she was with the show. One can only imagine how much more side splitting guffaws we would have if she had stay on with the show.
In any case, if there is one year which totally define THree's Company, Season Four is IT.
Funny.
Three's Company is a funny show and the fourth season is quite funny and my only complaint is with the loss of the original landlords Stanley and Helen Roper, they were hilarious but I did like the new landlord Ralph Furley who was also hilarious, it's a shame that when the Ropers spinoff didn't make it that they didn't bring the Ropers back and maybe have them buy back the building and have Mr. Furley become their bumbling handy man or maybe even the weird neighbor to Jack, Chrissie and Janet who like keeps popping up in their apartment or the Ropers apartment and irritates Jack and Mr. Roper.
I Love the show. The sets are cool but, there's one thing that concerns me. Acording the [...] (in the episode list) season 3 is missing two episodes!! More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 02 November 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

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

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...

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...

...But I'm giving season four 4 stars, because there aren't any subtitles in this set. They also didn't have subtitles for season 3, but they did had subtitles for seasons 1 & 2. Strange, huh? However, the quality of the DVDs are fine and the episodes, of course, are wonderful to watch. At the end of this season the Meathead is supposed to graduate and move out for good, but he decides to stay with the Bunkers a little longer, so he can get his Masters degree.
There aren't any special features or anything in this DVD set, but as long as the episodes are uncut, I'm happy. If you're a fan of the show, this DVD set is a MUST-HAVE! More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Carroll O'Connor DVD Release Date: Released the 12 April 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
