Three's Company: Season 6

Underestimated Priscilla Barnes saves show from cancellation. If you look at the first few shows, you will see that Priscilla Barnes has a stronger part in Three's Company than in the later seasons and episodes. Why? I didn't know why until I saw the special E years later. Priscilla Barnes was not happy with the producers and wanted out of the show. Instead of having a public fiasco like Miss Suzanne Somers did, Barnes decided to honor her contract. However, Barnes' part became less substantial in the last two seasons due to: Number one, Barnes unhappiness with show and Number two, Barnes' producers unhappiness with Barnes. According to Barnes' interview, the producers reduced her salary for not offering to renew her contract when it expires. As a result, the show lost its magic in seasons 7 and 8. Sexy Priscilla Barnes became third party to John Ritter and Joyce Dewitt. However, Priscilla Barnes was the Marilyn Monroe who saved the series. The best episodes were the first ones when Jack has to go to the hospital and meets Terri, who he likes, and she rejects him. Then later, he rejects her and humuliates her in public when there is a threat she will become his new roommate due to Janet's liking. Also, we have the episode where Terri thinks Jack is a hustler. Other highlights, Jack sees a robber, Terri brings home a date, who Jack and Janet thinks came from a mental hospital, the Lucille Ball special, one of her last appearances, hosts the one hour retrospective of the last 6 years of Three's Company. This is a great season. I can only thank the talented, sexy, Priscilla Barnes. I love Suzanne Somers but like Priscilla Barnes almost as much. If Priscilla Barnes didn't have the war with her producers, the ill-fated "Three's A Crowd" would never have transpired. John Ritter wanted a new show, Priscilla Barnes wanted out, and only poor Joyce Dewitt wanted the show to continue. Enjoy this dvd set because it is the best one after Somers but declines afterwards.

Season 6 marks the debut of Priscilla Barnes as the new roommate, nurse Terri Alden. Terri does not start off on the best foot with Jack Tripper as we see in the two part season premiere "Jack Bares All." Jack ends up humiliating her in front of everyone, with Larry's help, at the party in the second half of the episode, but quickly realizes what he has done, and welcomes her aboard. With Terri's arrival, Jenilee Harrison's character of Cindy Snow leaves to attend UCLA to become a veterinarian, although she does remain in a limited role for the rest of the season, before being let go. Harrison, who was a last minute replacement the previous season due to the Suzanne Somers situation, did not have the sexual tension necessary as one part of the series, so the producers brought in Barnes, who was able to fill that void. I do believe that Barnes certainly is a much nicer person than Somers, and that her character of Terri fits in much better with Janet and Jack than Chrissy Snow ever did. With Somers' departure(she was fired at the end of season 5), Joyce DeWitt's character of Janet Wood takes on more of a physical comedic role with Jack Tripper. Some memorable moments from this season: Jack and Janet's friendship reaches an important moment when Jack tries to warn her that her dance instructor is a creep and only interested in one thing. Janet realizes this at the end of the episode "Some Of That Jazz." Jack, trying to win back his girlfriend, serenades the wrong girl(with Larry singing). Jack pretending to be a doctor to impress his visiting grandfather. And, at the end of this season, we see a two part retrospective "The Best Of Three's Company," hosted by the first lady of television herself, Lucille Ball. A fantastic season, which proves even more that JOHN RITTER is the star of this show, NOT Suzanne Somers with her big head and swelled ego.

Great show from when i was a kid, and still easily holds up today. The main thing you need to know? There were only two types of shows: ones involving a misunderstanding, and ones involving out-right deception. And 3's Company knew how to milk them for all its worth and get the laughs as well. Plus, it had an uncanny ability to get some of the best character actors to create extremely memorable supporting bit players in guest spots.I have all 8 seasons and despite being more of a Mr. Roper and Chrissy fan than a Mr. Furley and Teri fan, i think this is one of the best seasons for 3's Company(3 best imo being seasons 3, 4, and 6). You get quantity and quality on this set, only thing missing are bloopers. As with seasons 2-8, it comes in a convenient case and folds out like a book for easy access to the dvd's.Despite being season 6, for the most part, this really could be a great starter season for the uninitiated. Cindy and Furley are pretty much established, Terri is introduced, and traces of Chrissy and Lana are gone. Of course, the 3 work-horses Jack, Janet, and Larry are all at full-strength as well.Get all 8 seasons cause it really was/is a funny, and at times heart-felt, show about friends and how they stick with each other and have each other's back. On screen anyway. And speaking of friends, how Jack Tripper never ended up on a guest spot in Monica Gellar's kitchen is beyond me. My two favorite t.v. chefs, and they were never in the same kitchen? Yeah right.(side note: this season has one of the most idiotic/ridiculous/hilarious scenes ever committed on tv...Jack on a couch with a cpr dummy. Enjoy)

I recommend this dvd lots of laughs excellent comeding tv show acting expeceilly from john ritter and don knots ,with out these two actors there will be no threes companys tv show, the other actors were ok to great, but the main two actors in my opinion were those two john ritter and don knotsand suszane sommers for playing the lovely blonde chrissy such great laughs

初めに私が渡米したのは今から約３０年前。その時このシーズン６をリアルタイムで見ました。世話になっていた向こうの家族もこの時ばかりは英語の解らない私をほっといてテレビにかじりついてげらげら笑い転げていました。それから５年後再び渡米しました３年間。テレビでシーズン１からファイナルまでの再放送をやっていました。最終回の次の日、また第一話から再々放送が始まりました。なんじゃこりゃと思いながら、わたしは笑い転げ続けましたとさ。さらにそれから５年後、旅行で行きましたら、また再放送がやってました。とにかくご覧ください。英語がちょっとだけ解れば絶対に楽しめます。個人的にスーザンソマーズ降板後のプリシラバーンズが好きなので、このシーズン６を薦めます。気に入ったら１話から見ればいいし、基本的には１話完結なので。ええいもう、どっからでもいいや。とにかくご覧あれ。

great condition

Classic comedy

Love the series - last one to get - Thanks
