Is this subreddit just turning into r/tvnipples? I’m not saying it’s not old school cool - just wondering.

I preferred Priscilla Barnes (Terri) myself.

The best of the blonde roommates. More attractive than the other two and much funnier.

I don't think anyone has ever preferred Cindy
Bobo4037 t1_ja963wh wrote
She was between 22 and 24 years old when she was on Three’s Company. Prior to that she had been a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams, and after Three’s Company she was on Dallas for a few years.
She’s 64 years old now.

I think it’s because r/oldschoolcoolnsfw went away and nothing else has really stepped in to replace it.

She started with James Garner in the movie "Tank.". There were two great points about her.

70’s television was awesome. (Even tho this was apparently from early 80’s)

I always wondered how she ended up in a Bond movie

I absolutely hated the new Mandy . It was like watching an understudy try and act like the original actress.

Those are meant to be used ?!?!
I always thought they were just wall decorations.

p.s. I met her father. Not her, just her father. He seemed nice.

I could only ever identify with the brunette room mates (I sorta knew I’d never be a Chrissy, Terri, or Cindy)...
Funny how I thought Janet was the least attractive of the roomies but I actually love her style!!!
Still, in a world where I could be a Lana or a Janet, I ended up being a cross between Lana and Mrs. Roper.

I think that LMS would have been 100 percent better off if they had Mandy and Kylie moved somewhere and just do guest spots from time to time like they did with Eve

On the subject of Threes Company, I always thought that Jack and Janet should have hooked up in the shows ending.

Terri was just blonde Janet! I mean looking back the dumb blonde trope was insulting and I totally understand why they moved away from it but they could have done something to differentiate her from Janet personality-wose.

Those are jello molds. Every kitchen in the US had them hangin on the walls. I recall we used one once because i pestered my mom about it enough she did it to shit me up.

Saw her doing infomercials a few years back.

Uh, guess again Muchacho. But, I'd tap that Janet ahead of any of those blondes.

Ritter was and continued to be the real talent. Sommers decided to play hard ball and got her bluff called.

Seriously? That was the first double-entendre I recognized. That line really expanded my mind and I never saw Janet the same way again.
Greaser_Dude t1_jaath4t wrote
She was sweet and producers seemed to have decided she wasn't going to be as dumb as Suzanne Sommers because she is supposed to be attending UCLA so they decided she was going to be klutzy. But - she wasn't anywhere near the physical comedian that John Ritter was and so her physical gags didn't really work.
Oh well - she looks great in little sweaters.

Otherwise known as Chrissy’s cousin after Suzanne Summers left the show amidst dispute over pay raise.

ElectricPeterTork t1_jab5lxt wrote
Well, as they proved, you remove Suzanne Sommers, the show goes on just about as popular as it was for another 3 or 4 years.
If they'd removed John Ritter? Probably wouldn't have been 4 more years if they'd done that.
So, while it's almost certain she deserved more money because she was a draw, she probably wasn't quite worth irreplaceable star of the show money.

Little fun fact...
In the original opening credits, Jack is riding a bicycle and crashes because he is ogling a smoking hot girl.
That smoking hot girl is actually Joyce DeWitt (Janet).
