“Three’s Company” remains a beloved classic, known for its hilarious misunderstandings and iconic chemistry. Though we’ve lost John Ritter and Suzanne Somers, their performances live on in reruns.
Recently, a viral clip from Season 5’s “A Crowded Romance” has sparked new conversations. In this episode, Larry and Jack both date the same woman, leading to a comedic love triangle. However, what makes this episode noteworthy is that Suzanne Somers is absent due to a scheduling conflict caused by the 1980 actors’ strike, which led to her eventual contract dispute and firing after demanding equal pay.
The episode also features a now-controversial scene where Jack playfully slaps Janet. While some fans find it a harmless joke, others criticize it as inappropriate by today’s standards, reflecting changing attitudes toward humor and gender dynamics in TV.
Additionally, Janet’s iconic hairstyles from the show have sparked fan debates, with many fondly remembering her early cuts. Despite its outdated moments, “Three’s Company” still sparks nostalgia and conversations about its lasting impact.
