The Real Reason Why Three's Company Ended
Subscribe for More!
Today, no TV executive would sign off on a show like Three's Company.
That's probably why it's better than the show had its years in the sun before this modern era.
However, despite being loved by so many and being a part of the quintessential 70s television, Three's Company ended prematurely - or at least that's what the majority of the fans of the show think.
There's been a lot of talk and gossip about the real reason Three's Company ended - especially because the show ended just three seasons after the showrunners fired one of the main characters, Suzanne Sommers.
So, what happened? Why did Three's Company come to an end? Did it have something to do with the gender inequality allegations that Suzanne Sommers levelled at the show, or was it something else entirely?
To understand just why Three's Company ended the way it did, it's important to look at the show itself and how it was set up.

Loved the show. Still watch it today. No it could not work today, it would be automatically labeled homophobic and sexist, like anything anymore.

I liked Suzanne Sommers and she should have stayed, but I liked Mr. Furley a lot better than the Ropers to be honest.

Although I didn't exist in the 70s nor in the 80s nevertheless I enjoy watching this show three's company on RU-vid_ it is the Only show like this in existence right now that really makes me laugh there is no other show like it. I don't get any tiny bit bit of laughs out of any shows out there_ that's why I don't keep watching them. But three's company is spectacular.🎉❤️ And I could watch the same sitcom the next day and the next day_ and it continues to makes me laugh.😊

I loved the show growing up, still do. I liked what Suzanne Summers brought to the show and wanted to mention that it was her husband/manager that pushed for her to be paid more. Although I feel a woman should be paid fairly. They should have all been paid the same. That i do agree. I also feel that the show was just as funny when they brought on the lady that played Terry, Priscilla Barns. She was funny and you could definitely see the chemistry among the actors. The producers felt the show had run it's course and had a spin off, "Three's A Crowd " which didn't last very long. I think it would have done better if John Ritter's and Joyce DeWitt's characters had ended up together. Since they were the two main characters that were on there since the begin. RIP John Ritter 🌹

No, John Ritter was paid more, and that was right, since he was the star of the show. The star of the show is always paid a lot more than the co-stars.

She advised the show runners (at one point) to treat show business as a business and create "merch" for the characters on the show, and make money off of them. The show runners ignored her (of course) since they only really cared about the story and not about making a business out of the show. AAARRGGGGH! As bad as scripts for later episodes of "Three's Company" may have become, they are Pulitzer Prize-winners for literature compared to the drivel that passes for narration of this click-bait video. (See example above.) No such term as "show-runners" in the 1970s. And where's footage of scenes with Mr. Roper and his sex-starved wife? Did the maker of this video not realize the guy who played Deputy Barney was a replacement for the original actor who left? Plus what's with the obnoxious computer-generated percussion in the background? Too soft to comprehend but just loud enough to be annoying, like a buzzing mosquito.

the reson I know that jack & KRISSO didn't make up it was a time a talk show and it was asked krissi if they make up and she told them yes and when she told them yes she closed her eyes 👀 because she knows very well people in general can tell if she was lieing by looking at her eyes 👀 and she was lieing otherwise why would she closed her eyes when she was asked the question ❓⁉️.

I do think that the sixth season was the best, many of the episodes in that season were very good. I thought in season four, Chrissy's character became too dumb, was not very funny and frankly annoying. However, I did like Chrissy's character a lot in the first three seasons.

First off , the quality of the Wrjting went way down, & you can only do so many pratfalls before they become stale & rely on good acting skills ...Miss Somers was a really good actress & the show's fans knew that , no matter how the poor writing ( & especially writers trying to dumb her down even more after she was asking for equal pay trying to make her part less essential to the plotlines to not give her parity in pay like she was due ) tried to portray her she & her skills shone thru ...The TRUE BIAS of Hollywood showed thru & reared it's ugly head when they started paying J. Ritter three times what Somers made & refused to give her any raise at all even though she was equal to Ritter in every way ... The END CAME when the BIASED PRODUCERS FIRED Somers & tried replacing her with a cavalcade of women in her place & even around her on the set with RATINGS DROPPING LIKE A HOT ROCK ... The Series NEVER RECOVERED ...FIRING SOMERS Was the thing & the day this Series actually died .....Her later successes proved how good she was , not taking anything from Ritter , but there were 2 STARS in this show & SOMERS it seems was the FAN's FAVORITE , or at least EQUALLY FAVORITE , which means you can't have lightning in a bottle if you don't keep the whole cast & keep a lid on the bottle or the lightning will surely escape leaving you simply with an empty vessel....... Sorry , but the Truth is the truth ...and , The TRUTH will Always be the TRUTH ...!!!!!!!

@@jeffthompson549 Yes , 3s company & DeWitt was a great part of & a supporting cast member but , as always there are always standouts & fan favorites & Ritter & Somers were them ... Barney Fife even won a Emmy for his role as supporting actor even though technically he was the Biggest Actual Actor with the Biggest Resume' on the show , he was still a supporting actor nonetheless & DeWitt was a virtual unknown , while Somers was well known & even was a main central character in American Graffiti ....Yes 3s Company , but right off from the start it was 2s Company according to the fan mail at the time & if I remember correctly Somers Fanmail dwarfed both Ritter's & DeWitt's added together...... But the Producers in Hollywood didn't want that glass ceiling broken at any cost, even at committing suicide of their show , they were afraid of the message it would send through all of Hollywood & have to start paying female actors the same as men......They sacrificed their hit show for their biased view on parity pay for women actors in hit shows ....... She did set a precedent though , the court of public opinion found them guilty & condemned their show to DEATH , a Slow Agonizing Death in front of all in Hollywood to watch & see & things started changing afterwards & women did start making more & more til the glass was broken .....BTW , Somers is a very Smart & Savvy Woman besides being an actress & today happens to be a ridiculously Rich Woman .....
