TV shows that are on daily.Also Terri is my fav. blonde,but I'm sure all of you know that by now

[Number 9 Dream]

Yeah, I feel bad too...let's just hope ALL the DVDs make it to the stores so we don't have an incomplete set.

Give me a break. Like you said, TC comes on daily. The shows that were on the WB marathon and the movies of the week are rarely seen ever.

Well ITA, they played the Chrissy ones fine with little or no interruptions. Why do they decide to put specials and stuff on for the best seasons :( I can't wait for all the DVD's. Then I won't have to worry about TV Land ever again. :)

[Three's Company]

I may be wrong and if I am I hope that no one is mad at me but I think that they are doing this because they know that these episodes/seasons are a lot of peoples' favorites. Anyone agree with me?

[PrettyinPink55]

The "Terri" episodes contain some of my favorite episodes of Three's Company! GRRR!!! I wish they'd stop showing things in place of TC and just let us watch all the episodes! :mad: Did they even show all the Cindy episodes?

By the way, Terri is my favorite blonde roommate too. :)

[Chain Gang Member]

I'm glad MOST of you agree with me

[Moonlight Lady]

I hate what they're doing to the schedule. Do that top ten stuff on weekends, during the day and as far as some of the other stuff goes.
I don't care as long as they end it before 11pm so we can watch TC.

[JT]

I disagree. Most of the country agrees that TC's best seasons were 1977-1981...

[Czas na Zywiec]

I'm glad MOST of you agree with me

You rather have TC back on N@N so they can show it at 4AM? Be glad that it's on at a decent time, even if it might get occasionally skipped. Would you rather the show be aired in order or not be aired at all? There's a lot of shows I want on TV, but I probably won't see again in my lifetime, so be grateful at least TC is getting aired.

Even though most of the people here prefer the later seasons, if it wasn't for the first four years (with Suzanne as the blonde), TC wouldn't have been as big as it was and probably wouldn't have lasted as long. I have to agree with JT that the majority of fans fan prefer the first four seasons.

Well some of the Terri episodes were in 1981 so hah!You may have said most,but you didn't say all.so ha again

I know when the Terri episodes aired, and you know full well that I meant that most fans enjoy the Chrissy years much more than the Terri years. If TVLand wanted to tick fans off, they'd screw with the schedule of the Chrissy episodes. Any idiot could tell you that, except for a select few, I see...

Now I disagree with that. TC would have been fine without Chrissy. SS was NOT the show and they proved it when she got replaced. As soon as Priscilla came the rating went back up, so I don't wanna hear how Chrissy was the show or that she saved the show. For the majority of the fans preferring the first 4 seasons, I don't know about that either. I think that maybe half or a little more than that would pick the first 4 seasons, not the majority of everyone.

[Number 9 Dream]

I agree with you 100%.....No one MADE the show. It was a group effort and Priscilla held the fort quite well. She did an awesome job.

[Number 9 Dream]

I'd also like to add that there are seemingly just as many Terri fans as there are Chrissy fans. If anything, I think a lot of people would despise the Cindy character or "Cindy year" but I thought she did an ok job.

When you watch specials about TC and read articles about it, who is referred to most as the three roommates? Look at the NBC movie. The Cindy/Terri years were BARELY covered. BARELY. The show did post some high ratings from 1981-1984, but never as high as it did from 1977-1981. That was when the show was more successful.

[Terri Cardellini]

The only reason why they did all that special stuff with SS was because THEY wanted her to be popular. No one thought she was as great as she did. Well maybe a few die hard fans, but other than that she was just like the rest of the cast. I bet Priscilla would have been more popular than SS if they would have given her a chance. The TC movie is a perfect example, they didn't even show Priscilla at all. Just because they did it like that and made SS more popular in the movie doesn't mean that the public is happy with that, it just means that the company is happy with it. I bet if you ask anyone, they would have liked to see more info on the rest of the cast. So just because SS was that popular, most of the public probably wasn't happy with it. I think that the only reason why the Chrissy years did better was because, I'm sorry to say this, but Cindy lost everyone's interest. Then after she left people didn't care anymore. I bet if Priscilla was the first blonde, she would have went the whole 8 years and who knows maybe longer. She wouldn't be greedy for money and get fired.

you wanna know why she is referred to most?!?! b/c she was being greedy and that draws attention. she thought she was the show and the star of it, which i hate to break it to her fans but she wasnt!! and terri was a better character....ppl were probably getting massive headaches and just sick of her ne way! nobody likes a cocky actress!

Plus it gave the magazines ways to make money from publicity. That's another reason why she was being interviewed everywhere, not just because the public loved her.

No, Suzanne was not the star, but she was more of a star than Priscilla was. Priscilla didn't get as much attention as Suzanne because she DIDN'T WANT IT. She called those years the worst years of her life.

You are all acting as if you're giving me some kind of reality check. When Suzanne asked for a raise (which wasn't even her idea, if you know anything about the story), that was in 1980. The show was just as popular and just as big from 1977 to 1980, before the contract wars and what-not. The show was new and the characters were fresh and the storylines were fresh. About ten or so of the Terri episodes are basically repackaged versions of the Chrissy episodes.

She called those years the worst years of her life.

Whoa! she so did NOT say that and if you're gonna tell me she did in the E!THS, well she didn't. I asked her in person and she that they took that all out of context. I was going to ask her "Even though you hated TC, you said that there were a couple episodes that you really liked. What were they?" Before I even got the whole question out she asked me why I called it the worst years of her life and then I told her about E!THS. She corrected me and said that she loved TC it's just that the producers were very strict with her and she didn't like that "style" of acting. She didn't like having the same story lines every single episode. She wanted to experiment with her character, but she was very restricted.

Well excuse me. Not everyone has met the people from their favorite shows.

And there you go. Even Priscilla knows that the last season or two sucked.

[Terri Cardellini]

No she said nothing about the last few seasons. She was referring to the whole series. And you know, a lot of the episodes have the same storylines, not just the last seasons. Most of them are about paying the rent or getting a job, so it's not just the last couple.

[Chain Gang Member]

JT,I have to agree with Terri Cardellini.Not only is she my friend but she has met Priscilla in person

[Sean Snow]

Okay, enough of that...

In regards to the entire Chrissy vs. Terri years debate, I do think that overall the Chrissy years are probably the most popular. In addition to the ratings and publicity surrounding them when they originally aired, Chrissy is the blonde roommate who tends to be brought up the most nowadays whenever the show is discussed on entertainment shows, fictional tv shows, or in the press. I think John Ritter and Suzanne Somers were definitely the breakout stars of the show and were both pretty popular. Earlier, one of you guys mentioned that just because Suzanne was featured frequently in magazines and talk shows doesn't mean she was more popular. Um...she wouldn't have appeared on so many magazine covers if her image wasn't helping to sell magazines. That's just pure common sense. It doesn't mean Suzanne was any better at acting than Jenilee or Priscilla, but I definitely think she's the blonde most people think of first.

As for the later years, I definitely think they recycle plots a lot more frequently in seasons 7 and 8, which were both lackluster. Unlike before, when only the basic premise was reused, they pretty much completely remade certain episodes - for instance, the puppy episode in season 1 was remade in season 8 with a kitten.

I totally agree. I think Chrissy is most mentioned out of the three blondes because she was the original blonde. I know that Priscilla was good but no one could replace an original. My dad prefers the Chirssy years but that's just his opinion.

[Number 9 Dream]

I personally don't get this whole Chrissy vs. Terri debate thing. They were both so different and unique in their own ways-- how can you even begin to compare them? No one is better than the other. Yes, you can argue the Chrissy years were more popular and people may have disliked the other blondes-- but I just think that the audience was USED to Chrissy and disliked change...we all know audiences hate when things change.

I think all the blondes did a wonderful job and brought such great variety to the show.

[Terri Cardellini]

JT,I have to agree with Terri Cardellini.Not only is she my friend but she has met Priscilla in person

Thx for sticking by me ;)

[JT]

I personally wasn't doing Chrissy vs Terri. I was saying that it was pretty shallow of Chain Gang Soldier to say that TVLand's preempts the Terri episodes because they know that they are loved the best. Nothing could be farther from the truth...

[Janet Bower]

I agree that viewers dont like change.......i am one of them.....its not easy seeing a main character leave and ya it sucks.....but that doesnt change or bring down the value that priscilla brought to the show.....saying that the ss years are better or the pb years are better is all on opinion....but it has to be hard going on to this hit show and having to bring the "sex appeal" back after cindy kind of burried it....so would give her a little credit

and dont even say that ss contract dispute wasnt her fault...she screwed herself over...nobody else but her! and ANYBODY who knows the story, knows that!

[I Love John Ritter]

and dont even say that ss contract dispute wasnt her fault...she screwed herself over...nobody else but her! and ANYBODY who knows the story, knows that!
Of course it was Suzanne's fault, but remember that her husband, Alan Hamel, played a big part in it as well. In fact, he is the one who mostly started the whole thing.

maybe so but she has a mind of her own....it was her choices....she could have at anytime talked to the producers herself instead of sending her husband to do it...and like joyce said .....its not her ppl doing it....she is her ppl, its her and alan doing it!!

Yes, I know she has a mind of her own, I was just saying that it was her husband that stirred up the majority of the trouble.
