After the departure of the Ropers, classic actor Don Knotts was brought in to be the new landlord. Surprisingly, Knotts said that he was nervous at first because the show was already so popular and the cast so funny. Interestingly enough, many of the cast felt equally nervous about working with Knotts, since he was already such an established actor. John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt said that Somers told them she was 17 when she had her son, who was 11 at the time.
That would have made her However, when you consider her birthday and the start date of the show, at the very least, she was in her 30s when she said this. The producers later revealed that the pilot episode was written before they had decided on a name for the show. As producers were planning the spin-off, Three's a Crowd , they tried to keep it on the down low. However, Joyce DeWitt accidentally walked in on the auditions, and when she discovered she wasn't going to be a part of the show, tensions between her and the rest of the cast and crew began to rise.
After Somers left the show because of contract disputes, her character Chrissy was replaced by Chrissy's cousin, Cindy played by Jenilee Harrison. After poor performance numbers, Cindy was also replaced, this time by Terri played by Priscilla Barnes. For whatever reason, producers wanted Chrissy to have an absurdly Christmas-themed name. Her full name is "Christmas Noelle Snow.
It would be almost 30 years before the stars of Three's Company would reconcile. Somers and DeWitt made up publicly on Somers' talk show, and apparently she and Ritter also reconciled shortly before his death. Character Larry Dallas played by Richard Kline was only supposed to be in one episode. But producers loved the chemistry between Kline and Ritter so much that Larry became a mainstay on Three's Company. You'd never see that happen in real life these days!
Loni Anderson auditioned for the part of Chrissy. There were three pilot episodes made for the show. Billy Crystal auditioned for the part of Jack.
The theme song was by the same composer who did Sesame Street. Stanley Roper was based on a real person. Jeffrey Tambor had roles as three different characters.
Suzanne Somers left the show because she wanted John Ritter's salary. Heather Locklear had an embarrassing audition. John Ritter accidentally flashed the camera in one episode. Stanley Roper got his own spin-off. Suzanne Somers was hired at the last minute. Roper fearing they were having orgies or whatever, it kind of showed us how we do jump to conclusions.
It wasn't too long into the show — which was in the Top 10 ratings for much of its run — before it caught the attention of the audience and became something of a pop culture phenomenon. This, in turn, had a powerful impact on its trio of stars who were all fairly early in their careers.
He also starred in The Barefoot Executive. So he was a face people were pretty familiar with, but because he grew up in showbiz with his dad [Tex Ritter] being this huge Western star, he was instilled with these sort of heartland values and took everything in stride.
He had been around the block; he lived it. He saw how his dad handled it, so I think it excited him. It was a heady experience for all of them. I don't see how it couldn't be. Suzanne Somers, prior to the show, had appeared in a number of films, most notably as the mysterious blond who intrigues Richard Dreyfuss in George Lucas' American Graffiti. But she was someone, according to Chris, who was hungry for stardom.
She had been quite poor at times, as a single mom, and she was a few years older, so she really approached this as 'Suzanne, Inc. He had also done improv classes with Robin Williams, so he had this talent that was undeniable. And the producers, of course, saw him as the star. Suzanne broke out as Chrissy as, again, a very ambitious and savvy media celebrity, but the show was always going to be about a guy and two girls.
And that created some tension when the media started to portray it as more a vehicle for Suzanne Somers' jiggling or whatever. She created a funny character in Chrissy, but there were two realities happening with what the show was: how it was written and billed, and then how the narrative in the media was making the show seem like Suzanne was the star. Joyce began acting on stage at the age of 13 and had appeared on an episode of Baretta prior to her being cast as Janet on Three's Company. She, I don't think, was prepared for the machinations of Hollywood at all.
I don't think she was ready for the publicity machine either, and she pulled back when she decided to put herself out there. It was not an easy experience for her. So those were the three reactions. On one hand, you had John; on the other, you had Suzanne either cultivating celebrity or adjusting to it; and then you had Joyce in the middle having a lot of conflict about how to navigate.
A prime example of what was happening took place during the show's second season when Newsweek did a cover story. While initially the trio of stars was thrilled with the attention, apparently Suzanne made a move that genuinely affected their relationship…. As Chris details, "Joyce wanted to be known as an actor and not a celebrity, and a lot of that feeling grew out of a Newsweek cover story. Suzanne had her own photo shoot before or after the shoot of the trio, which John and Joyce were very uncomfortable with, having Suzanne being featured.
She had other shots of her in front of the pink or blue screen in a nightie. Apparently one of those shots was super-imposed over the image that Newsweek had of the three of them, and that created a lot of tension behind the scenes. It also further conflicted Joyce about doing publicity, because she felt lied to. What resulted was litigation and her role is reduced to a phone call to her roommates from Chrissy Snow's parents' house.
Additionally, a rift was created between her and John Ritter that wouldn't be healed until shortly before his death some twenty years later. Actually, he refused to work with her at the end of She then took her grievances to the press. Alan and she were revealing John's salary and saying things on talk shows like if her name had been John Somers, this wouldn't be happening, which only exacerbated the situation.
There was, however, a moment when he had told Alan he would talk to Suzanne one-on-one, without him, without publicists, without managers or agents, and Suzanne did not take the invitation. So any chance for that to be salvaged in the spring of '81 was pretty much completely torpedoed. And then she missed a show due to, she said, a rib injury. Have you seen License to Kill? The year-old actress has remained in the public eye through some of her work, and while she has a few gigs lined up, it's worth looking back at her glamorous career.
