She was requesting $150,000 per episode and 10% ownership of the show, which was a drastic increase from what she was already getting. John had it in his contract that he made more than Suzanne and Joyce, and the two girls had a "favored nations" clause in their contract, stating the two of them shared the same per episode salary. As producer Ted Bergmann stated, that would've put them at somewhere around $500,000 in just salary obligations for the three leads (excluding salaries for Don Knotts, Richard Kline, the guest stars, etc.) before they even started writing a script. THREE'S COMPANY was successful, but it wasn't that successful.</p></blockquote><p></p>
