There are 4 discs in this set. I've been watching Three's Company ever since I was a kid and to this day it is still one of my favorite shows, if not THE favorite. I still always have to catch the reruns on TVLand. I, like so many others, always preferred the Chrissy or Terri episodes over the Cindy ones, that is until I recently re-watched this one episode on TVLand where Cindy moves in and it made me laugh out loud. So to Amazon I came to buy this DVD set for this specific reason. For that one episode where Cindy moves in -- It has got to be one of John Ritter's funniest episodes because Cindy ends up putting Jack through so much, and there is Jack tripping over things and being knocked everywhere by Cindy's clutziness... Showing John Ritter for what he was awesome at - physical comedy. Not to mention Joyce Dewitt (Janet) is funny in these episodes too. So why do so many people knock it? It's hilarious! But then again when is Three's Company not funny. Still makes you laugh after all these years!! *(Just as a sidenote, in my opinion the other of John's funniest episodes ever would have to be when Jack takes tranqs for a plane ride but that is found on another dvd set not this one.)

I thoroughly loved Threes all the way until the end of the entire series; cast changes and all. I really missed Chrissy, but the show itself was still fantastic. Mr. Furley was a great replacement. He brought a totally new comedy that I loved. I think the only thing that bothered me was the discs themselves. Disc 1 and 2 were plain and silver with the titles of the shows printed on the discs. Exactly like my Seasons 1-4 are. Then disc 3 has a color picture of Chrissy looking like she's crying. Makes me wonder...why would they do that? Almost like they wanted to everyone to see her shamed? I don't know why but that just bothered me. Other than that, the show was fantastic. I will always love this show. Then the 4th disc has Cindy on it.

Great condition. What an underrated actress Joyce DeWitt is. As great as John Ritter is, it takes more than one person to carry a show for 8 years. The bright radiant & beautiful Joyce DeWitt Is the only cast member aside from John to survive the entire run of the series & to me is every bit as talented & funny as "Jack Tripper". "Janet Wood" is a wonderful ball of energy. She is a very strong character & I feel she should've won an Emmy as well. Janet could certainly give Jack the business, but their mutual love and affection for each other comes through loud & clear in each & every episode. What a pity they didn't hook up at the end. It truly should've been Jack & Janet getting married!!! I rank Joyce right up there with Carol Burnett & Lucille Ball. Drop-dead gorgeous, feisty, anxiety-filled, smart & every bit as confused as Jack in the "misunderstandings" of their best episodes. I've loved Joyce DeWitt for decades now & respect her incredible talent & beauty forever.

In Season 5, Suzanne Somers(Chrissy Snow) appears in only two full episodes: "Upstairs, Downstairs, Downstairs," and her last full episode "A Hundred Dollars A What?." After letting success go to her head, she demanded an outrageous pay raise. After her salary demands were refused, she was absent from a few episodes(one of which had to be scrapped). As a result of her absences, Chrissy Snow is sent home to take care of her sick mother, and is cut down to a 60 second telephone scene in a few episodes.(Her telephone scenes were filmed earlier in the day and behind the show's set since the other actors no longer wanted to work with her). Meanwhile, Jenilee Harrison moves in as the third roommate, Cindy Snow, the cousin of Chrissy Snow. Cindy brings a lot of comedy to the series as Chrissy's very clumsy, but well-meaning cousin. I actually do prefer Cindy over Chrissy, just as I prefer Jenilee over Suzanne. With or without Chrissy, John Ritter's comedy is what made the show a hit, for he was(and is) the show's undisputed star. Suzanne is fired at the end of this season, and Chrissy Snow is never again mentioned, and no reason is ever given on the show as to why Chrissy does not return. She brought everything on herself. Thank You, Suzanne, for allowing new characters to come on the show, and for allowing the show's star, JOHN RITTER, to shine brighter. You are not a nice person, Miss Somers. GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDENCE!

We own the first 5 seasons of 3C. The first 4 seasons are incredibly funny, so good. Fun/Comedy at it's best! The 5th season is ok. We enjoy it, but to me, there's clearly something missing. Of course the obvious is the extremely talented SS is gone (except for the occasional phone call at the end of a few episodes). But to me the whole mood seems somewhat different...probably due to the ill-feelings of SS's departure. Don't know if we'll purchase any more seasons after 5. I do think Priscilla Barnes did a great job from what i've seen.

Three's Company has long been a favorite show of mine. John Ritter was a great guy. I have always loved Joyce DeWitt and I still do think the world of her. Jenilee Harrison was ... wow! And then, there is my favorite. The one ... the only ... Priscilla Barnes. The most beautiful girl on the planet. And not only was my Priscilla right-off-the-chart beautiful but, she practically single handedly saved seasons 6, 7 and 8. Oh how I hated to see this show end it's run. But, it remains one of those shows, much like "The Honeymooners" that you can watch over and over and over and it just never gets old. Yes Three's Company will always remain a favorite show of mine, especially seasons 6, 7 and 8 with the impossibly beautiful Priscilla Barnes.

Ok, stop the Jenilee bashing! Yes, we were all disappointed when Suzanne left, but that's no reason to take it out on Jenilee. Jenilee Harrison actually got better as the season progressed. She was particularly funning in 'Janet's Secret', 'Father of the Bride' and 'Double Trouble'. I was disappointed when she eventually left the show. Besides, this season has some of the funniest episodes, even though some people refuse to admit it. And yes, Jenilee does deserve to be on this cover. So buy season 5 asap and watch Cindy 'knock Jack off his feet with a door'! I'm also interested in watching those tag scenes with Suzanne, which seemed to have been edited out for syndication. This is also a season where Joyce and Don do some of their best work on the show.

Suzanne Somers is only in a few episodes, but the other episodes are high quality.

This box set got lost in the post and the company was very easy to deal with and sent out a replacement copy without any hassle. There were a few more emails than necessary but I certainly didn't need to argue my case for a replacement.

このThree's Companyについては笑えるという言葉しか見つからない。シーズン６の特典の中で 往年の大コメディ女優Lucille Ball が、余計な思想やいらぬ説教じみたテーマ、あるいは感動してくださいというような押し付けがましいドラマティックな演出などどこにもない、それがいいのだ。というようなコメントを残している。その通りだと思う。何かにつけ、コメディとはいえ、感動のシーンを無理にはめ込む日本のドラマと違い、全てに笑いを盛り込むこのしつこさこそ、この番組の凄いところなのだ。 パイロット版製作でキャスティングを選びに選び、脚本の変更が必要かどうかを熟考していく。わざわざ再放送用のＣＭまで撮りおろしで作られる程の人気になった理由がよくわかる。私は日本のドラマ制作現場を知らないが、果たしてここまで考えられているだろうか。売れてる役者に脚本家、だからヒットするだろうという驕りがあるように感じられてならない。残念ながらこの国の人々は依存型だから全ては与える側に扇動されている。この作品を見るたびに日本のＴＶ番組のつまらなさに悲しむ事になる。何かにつけて世界の誰それとか、世界の何がしとマスコミが言っているが、本当に日本から発信された世界を冠するものはアニメぐらいではなかろうか。本当の世界の何とかはこのくらい凄いのだ。そんな事を笑いという形で教えてくれる番組である。

mon mari et moi avons adoré cette série qui nous rappelle de bons souvenirs, c'est drole rigolo et john ritter est un comédien exceptionnel, dommage il n'y en a plus comme cela, sauf peut etre friends

Classic show !!! Great season
