- Quotes
Chrissy Snow: [on phone to actor boyfriend] Mark? Hey, listen, we're having a party here tonight. Can you come?
[listens]
Chrissy Snow: Ohh... Oh, yeah, that's okay.
[nods:]
Chrissy Snow: Yeah. Merry Christmas. Bye-bye.
[cradles receiver]
Janet Wood: Is he coming?
Chrissy Snow: No, he's got another commercial to do. He's gonna be the voice of a freeze-dried pea.
Janet Wood: Ohh. Hey, Chrissy, that's too bad.
Chrissy Snow: [as Jack comes up behind her] That's really a tough acting job. What's a pea sound like?
Jack Tripper: [misunderstands] Pardon?
'Three's Christmas' is a very agreeable episode - not as downright hilarious as the series is capable of being, but generally engaging & funny. Amusing bits include Janet & Chrissy both gifting Jack with socks, and him ending up wearing a sock from each pair. Stanley holds true to his nature, throwing a rather inane party; he even sings while Jack plays the piano. It's truly priceless when he brings out a bugle that sends the kids running!
Some of the early scenes are a delight. Jack devises a way to always have mistletoe hanging in front of his face so he can kiss (and kiss) his roommates to his hearts' content. Also, he later phones a girlfriend, indulging in some very raunchy dialogue before he realizes that it was the girls' MOTHER who picked up the phone.
The big twist at the end is a rich one, putting the perfect capper on this episode.
Seven out of 10.
