I think they dropped the ball on this one. I always felt Jack and Janet had such wonderful chemistry they should have married. The spin off should have been about them. No offense to the actress playing Vicky but this all felt too rushed.
This show always made me sad when I was a kid. I didn't like Jack "settled down" and I couldn't stand Vicky. I liked the single, free-spirited Jack from Three's Company. He had such chemistry with Janet and Chrissie, more so than with Vicky.
Thank you for your service the pain you went through watching this lol. But seriously Jack and Janet have a lot more chemistry they can joke with each other I just loved when Jack and Janet would flirt with each other it was cute Janet can balance Jack more because she knows him a lot more in my opinion
There was one episode where Larry made an appearance. It was almost instantly apparent how much they could've used Richard Kline in the mix. Jack and Larry were naturally funny together. In the absence of having Joyce DeWitt, Larry would have been a great addition.
I’m kind of disecting these episodes and I never would thought,Vicky comes across too bitchy and uptight.Janet had her moments but was a bit more compromising and easygoing and played off well off Jacks antics.There were plenty hilarious screwball moments with Jack and Janet.This is such a one sided thing where Jack is trying to be his normal goofball self but she always seem so pessimistic and annoyed,it gets irritating.
If it's any consolation, the actress who played Vicki (Mary Cadorette) was equally unlikable. Every time she was on the $25,000 or $100,000 Pyramid, she was a total personality-free zone. She was an even worse actress.
Actually, I agree her stance on her independence but it is a stretch to believe that a man who lived with two women for years would be this much of a sexist prick
ABC was on the "fence" about renewing Three's A Crowd for a second season. John Ritter said that unless they committed to a full season of shows he wouldn't do it anymore. ABC only offered a shortened season of 13 shows and depending on the ratings whether to renew it for a full season. So John Ritter quit doing it after season one. Mary Cadorette (Vicki) has said the writers had plans to make her a TV"weather girl" in the second season with Stuart Pankin being her boss. There were also plans for Jack and Vicki to get formally married.
I think John realized what big mistake he had made by the end of season 1 and he had more interesting offers for better projects. Good for him. Couldn't have tolerated Jack and Vicky were married. At least i can imagine they broke up and he reconnected with a freshly divorced Janet.
Watching the last two episodes of Threes Company when Vicky was forced on the fans, that was the problem. It wasn't a relationship that was growing, instead it was one dumped on us. I think Maria that didn't speak English played by Maria Richwine would have been more fun to watch with her learning English from Jack. It would have been a reverse Ricky & Lucy.
Yeah, I didn't like her the moment I saw her on Threes Company. Brings nothing to the table. So what if John Ritter had good acting chemistry with her out of all the actresses who auditioned. It doesn't show. Then her father is annoying as Hell.
Either janet or chrissy would have been a better match. The producers made a big mistake by not casting suzanne somers as his love, even when suzanne had requested and came back.
This show ruined all that Jack created himself up to. The woman with him wasn’t the perfect fit for the role. Jack as usual performed well. His third wheel performed well too. Show would have done well if Jack started goofing around dating other girls.
i remember him having more chemistry with Greedy Gretchen who came back for one episode to tempt him than Vicky .... i was embarassed for the casting agent.
This show isn’t as bad as I remember when I was first on. Granted, it didn’t have the chemistry that 3’s Company had. And the scripts here were really bad, really silly, literally unbelievable that people would do things like this in real life. Not only that, but Vicky was often actually mean to Jack. And she often talked down to him, or acted as though he was stupid. It was always about what Vicky wanted. Today, that would be several red flags, lol… Yeah, the show was pretty terrible, but sadly, I would still watch this over almost anything on TV these days…
This could have been a much better show. Jack needed a sexier costar, one he could banter with and where you’d see the attraction. Vicky was just dull. And the surfer dude character didn’t work at all. Why not a bigger supporting cast of people who work in the restaurant - a waitress, a hostess, etc? Robert Mandan was a good comic actor, but his character needed to be toned way down because he was irritating as hell. More Jessica Walter, please. And they should have gotten Richard Kline back as Larry after his pilot wasn’t picked up. He did do a guest appearance but it wasn’t enough.
Vicky was so annoying...so was her father. I never liked the actor and actress. I never could watch this. I even tried now😅 couldn't. Jack (john) was brilliant.🙏🏻
Reading a lot of hate for Mary and I think it's undeserved her character was a mature woman her parents were immature it kind of makes sense Teri from three's company was pretty mature I wonder how people felt about her
Okay this is the first time I've actually gotten even a taste of this series beyond just the introductory at the end of the three's company series. Yeah this is weak. I didn't think it would be this bad 🤔 I don't think it's the actress's fault. This is just a very very toxic character. 😔
The spinoffs of Three's Company never worked (remember the failed "The Ropers" preceded this show); and I'm not sure pairing Jack and Janet would've have made for a great show either. This one was a real stinker! 🤣
It's not cute making a premise out of a couple with vastly conflicting ideals forced together. That's horribly irresponsible and shouldn't be played for laughs. He wants to get married and she doesn't but wants to co habitate. It would be exhausting to live like that.
Jack Tripper was such a cool goofy guy. They messed up big time. I did not like this show. I did not like the way they did the opening credits. His girlfriend was weak. There was a slim chance that a spinoff could have worked and it included Janet being his girlfriend. It probably would not have worked for long, but at least there would have been an extra season with Joyce DeWitt. The producers blew it.They should have offered her a big pay raise.
They turned Jack into a simp and Vicki was not cool... She wasn't a great actress and not a likable character. There wasn't any chemistry between them. After seeing Jack with so many women I think most of us wanted to see him leave the show and move on into a better relationship that wasn't so adversarial. Alot of shows play the old, WILL THEY - WON'T THEY thing during the course of a show, but we already kind of had that with Jack in Three's Company and didn't need to suffer through that in a second series/spinoff.
Threes company had a perfect blend of silliness, raunchiness and heart. This show sadly had none of that.
Delighted'ughh y 6u g
There was so much more chemistry between Janet and Jack than this one.
I agree. Vicky was such a BORING character. She wasn't funny at all. They should've just it alone with Jack and Janet....and had Larry move in!😆
I think they dropped the ball on this one. I always felt Jack and Janet had such wonderful chemistry they should have married. The spin off should have been about them. No offense to the actress playing Vicky but this all felt too rushed.
@@cjc2that’s because it was rushed.Vicky just wasn’t an interesting actress
I totally agree.
Janet could tell what Jack was up to.
Lots of this is just me either thinking of better jokes, or just imagining how better it would be if Jack was playing off Janet instead. 🤷🏾♀️
Jack and Janet had natural chemistry. This show had really missed out and that’s why it did not last.😢
They had sibling or friend chemistry. Not romantic chemistry.
Jack Tripper neutered, this series folded faster than a shirt a Chinese laundry
This show always made me sad when I was a kid. I didn't like Jack "settled down" and I couldn't stand Vicky. I liked the single, free-spirited Jack from Three's Company. He had such chemistry with Janet and Chrissie, more so than with Vicky.
It is worse than I remember. The cohabitating feminist dynamic does not work as well as the sexual innuendo miscommunication of the original show.
John ritter out of 500 auditions chose mary carodette, i think he thought it would work
makes you wonder how bad the others were if he chose her
@@technicolordreams2111😂😂😂😂😂. Scary thought!
She was young is why
Wow this is BRUTAL
A real “Where’s my paycheck” sitcom….
This show fills me with the same sadness I felt when I first saw it. I'm glad Hooperman came along.
😂😂😂 I loved Hoopperman!!
It was a bad attempt at Robin's Nest. Three's A Crowd was canceled, because John Ritter demanded a full second season and ABC said no.
He was such a great actor. To see him in a movie that deserved him, watch a movie called "Skin Deep" from 1989. A great and fun Blake Edwards film.
I love Skin Deep
Janet would have been a lot better.
Separating John and Joyce was a bad decision.
Thank you for your service the pain you went through watching this lol. But seriously Jack and Janet have a lot more chemistry they can joke with each other I just loved when Jack and Janet would flirt with each other it was cute Janet can balance Jack more because she knows him a lot more in my opinion

Absolutely. I never understood why Larry wasn't part of this cast.
@@trawlins396Both he and Don Knotts were offered to continue their roles, but both declined.
I’m kind of disecting these episodes and I never would thought,Vicky comes across too bitchy and uptight.Janet had her moments but was a bit more compromising and easygoing and played off well off Jacks antics.There were plenty hilarious screwball moments with Jack and Janet.This is such a one sided thing where Jack is trying to be his normal goofball self but she always seem so pessimistic and annoyed,it gets irritating.
They should've cast an actual comedienne to play her.
This is cringeworthy to watch. What were those producers thinking after Three's Company??
Mary Cadorette who played Vicki killed the show. Her acting & comedic timing was just bad.
Definitely. Her lines are so wooden.
Jack said in an interview that it couldn't be Jack and Janet because Janet's father approved of them living together in Three's Company
I think this show's demise is that the audience started hating Vicky? Watching her attitude in this clip alone makes me cringe.
If it's any consolation, the actress who played Vicki (Mary Cadorette) was equally unlikable. Every time she was on the $25,000 or $100,000 Pyramid, she was a total personality-free zone. She was an even worse actress.

Agree. She was so annoying and uptight.
@@RedNekLvr22I can believe that. She seems as interesting as unbuttered toast.
I think for her it would have too much pressure cause previous one had so much chemistry!!!
Thank you for your service.
So the recurring joke in this series is Jack proposing to Vicky?
This is what happens when a nice guy gets involved in a screwed up family…
Vicky is really unlikable!
She is unlikable
I like her legs.

yes i love this idea i will imagine that too lol vicky is awful!@@technicolordreams2111
Instead they purchased Diffrent Strokes from NBC who had canceled it as it was another dying show.
All they did was make Jack look like an idiot. The chemistry between the original cast was undeniable. I hate 3s a crowd
Jack should’ve been with Janet
Next watch Hooperman
I've seen it! cute show
The actress they cast as Vicky was horrible. Not funny at all. Whoever cast her should've been fired.
Watching the last two episodes of Threes Company when Vicky was forced on the fans, that was the problem. It wasn't a relationship that was growing, instead it was one dumped on us. I think Maria that didn't speak English played by Maria Richwine would have been more fun to watch with her learning English from Jack. It would have been a reverse Ricky & Lucy.
Vicky is so annoying ong, Jack is so gorgeous and stuff, why wouldn't she want him 💀💀
literally why is she forcing him to live with her if he wants to marry and she doesn't
I don't know what "type" Jack's into but can't believe he'd choose her over Janet. Once again, she's my type but Jack is stupid for not marring Janet.
@@technicolordreams2111exactly! I'd so marry him, she's just stupid af and literally such a horrible Tv character
@@mikepastor.k6233Jack loved Janet like a sister.
Vicky felt like a out of place character
Looks like two's a crowd also
😂
This was a terrible show not surprised it only made it one season
Yeah, I didn't like her the moment I saw her on Threes Company. Brings nothing to the table. So what if John Ritter had good acting chemistry with her out of all the actresses who auditioned. It doesn't show. Then her father is annoying as Hell.
I'm surprised John Ritter liked her. She seems dull as dishwater. Not funny and no exual chemistry.
This was a waste of John Ritter. He deserved a much better show than this stinker.
I liked this show and Jack and Vicky together.
Watching this was tedious! #JackAndJanetForever❤
Either janet or chrissy would have been a better match. The producers made a big mistake by not casting suzanne somers as his love, even when suzanne had requested and came back.
They probably got Mary Cadorette for a lot less money than Suzanne Sommers would have wanted. She would have wanted the same pay as John.
This show ruined all that Jack created himself up to. The woman with him wasn’t the perfect fit for the role. Jack as usual performed well. His third wheel performed well too. Show would have done well if Jack started goofing around dating other girls.
i remember him having more chemistry with Greedy Gretchen who came back for one episode to tempt him than Vicky .... i was embarassed for the casting agent.
Jack had chemistry with Janet, and I like Greedy Gretchen.
A better sequel to Three’s Company would have been something like Mad About You.
How was Mad About You any different than Threes a Crowd? Two sitcoms about a couple. 🤷

1:19 A Character Actor from one Episode of MASH . He played the Father of a track Star.

Exactly. She had no $ex appeal. She was totally unlike the women he fell for on TC. She reminds me of a school librarian.
Joyce Dewitt is so pretty!
Joyce was not in this spinoff. I think you meant Mary Cadorette. She was awful.
I don't like Vickie. I wish he would've married Janet
Even Terri would have suffice.
Vicky was so annoying...so was her father. I never liked the actor and actress. I never could watch this. I even tried now😅 couldn't. Jack (john) was brilliant.🙏🏻
Never knew this existed
Reading a lot of hate for Mary and I think it's undeserved her character was a mature woman her parents were immature it kind of makes sense Teri from three's company was pretty mature I wonder how people felt about her

Ha, omg i remember. 😅 Yes, it was not the same, they tried to do it. Of course i watched it because of John Ritter .....and Felipe Gomez😅
The last shot of threes company..ik this show was set up to fail
Who said I didn’t want to?
The character of Vickie was annoying and there was no chemistry at all between her and Jack. At least it was only a one season show.
It's not cute making a premise out of a couple with vastly conflicting ideals forced together. That's horribly irresponsible and shouldn't be played for laughs. He wants to get married and she doesn't but wants to co habitate. It would be exhausting to live like that.
The epitome of shallow sitcom shite.
She is terrible!!
She was a out of place character
No chemistry amongst any of the actors. If John Ritter can't save it, then you know it's no good.
Jack Tripper was such a cool goofy guy. They messed up big time. I did not like this show. I did not like the way they did the opening credits. His girlfriend was weak. There was a slim chance that a spinoff could have worked and it included Janet being his girlfriend. It probably would not have worked for long, but at least there would have been an extra season with Joyce DeWitt. The producers blew it.They should have offered her a big pay raise.
Is that Larry ,Jack's friend in 3 company?
yes
He guest starred on one episode that season. The only bring over from Three's Company, along with Greedy Gretchen
If you watch the last episode of threes company the girls are emotional but John ritter seemed cold and egotiscal
This show was a abomination
Defo 👍🏻 I couldn't stand it.
They turned Jack into a simp and Vicki was not cool... She wasn't a great actress and not a likable character. There wasn't any chemistry between them.

Horrible
Idc what y’all say this show is still good even tho it had bad ratings and got canceled I like it it makes me laugh and I still watch it til this day
I loved Vicky🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤
Goody good shoe wife. Father in law all wrong.
SA😊😊😊😊
I just threw up a little.
Another spin off that didn't work.
Didnt like this show
Vicky was a out of place character
I’ve always Loved the show. So much hate I don’t understand it .
I didn't like this very much. The writers had a 1 track mind.
😮 n̈jk😊😊
Ï 5t c c f6b 😅
I hated Janet and loved Vicky!
Damn
Forgot how HORRIBLE Vicki was!
