[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438470, member: 5079"] I think the producer was onto something though. By season four, the premise of the show was already getting tired. Furley lusting for Lana while Lana lusted for Jack was fresh. I think Ritter's alleged complaint that Jack wouldn't turn down Lana's advances missed the point. A man who objectifies women not enjoying being objectified by a woman is pretty damn funny; Eddie Murphy made a whole movie about it. To me there is no "perfect" season of THREE'S COMPANY; I tend to like bits and pieces. I love the Lana season, but Chrissy had become annoying by then. I prefer Cindy over S4 Chrissy. I love the Ropers, but think Don Knotts integrated into the cast better; the Ropers seemed often relegated to a B-plot. I think the producers decided early it was easier to have one star than three and played Ritter against his female co-stars. How active Ritter was in that is unclear. While I don't believe Somers' later recounting of events, she is right that the trio would have fared batter if they had stuck together the way the FRIENDS cast later did. "Every man of himself" only worked out for Ritter. [/QUOTE]
