I loved Three's Company, along with the spinoffs, The Ropers and Three's A Crowd. They were just a hoot! All the misunderstandings, all the innuendo, the sexual tension, the gags, the laughs! Hoo boy! Whenever anyone of those shows comes on, I drop everything (sometimes my pants! oops! haha), get some popcorn, and watch. And then I laugh and giggle, giggle and laugh, sometimes so hard, I can't seem to catch my breath. I'm a heavy, heavy smoker, and breathing and laughing can be difficult at times. But for these shows? it's totally worth it! The only thing I wish the writers had done, was add more adult, serious content or situations. Life is not always a laugh, I can tell you that. Not long ago I wrote to the producers of Three's Company, asking if any of my ideas just might have been used. I'll tell you at the end how they responded!
Chrissy was poorly written out of the show, due to a contract dispute. I had suggested all of the following: a) Chrissy began dabbling with narcotics; became a junkie b) Chrissy fled with Rama Mageesh, the cult leader/guru, never to be heard from again c) Chrissy became fat; Jack, Janet, Larry, and the Ropers (and William Conrad from Cannon who is in this episode and the instigator), not liking her for being fat, ask that she move out immediately. Cannon asks to move in d) Chrissy gets abducted by Bigfoot and Wildboy in the mountains e) Chrissy is murdered by Dean Travers and Jason DeFarge
Some other storylines I mentioned: *Jack finally gives in to the advances of Lana; Lana gets pregnant; Furley, Larry, Mike the Bartender, Mr. Roper, and Teabag McGee all think they are the father *The Ropers never leave; destitute, they move into the basement after Bart Furley purchases the building *Cuddles the kitten is carrying a virus that everyone gets; the virus causes paralysis, foaming of the mouth, delirium, and severe fevers. Larry loses his left foot due to the virus *Janet is running drugs out of the flowershop *After moving in, Cannon is mysteriously electrocuted to death in the bathtub
I have many, many, many more ideas. And I submitted them all iun letter form to the old producers of Three's Company. I am still waiting for a reply.
