FULL EPISODE DESCRIPTIONS FROM ABC 1981 - 1982 Season 6 !, March 15, 2006
I used to watch the repeats of "Three's Company" as a little boy and I always felt like I was watching a "grown up show." Twenty years later it doesn't seem "risque" or sexually charged like most primteime (and unimaginative) sitcoms are today. However, "Three's Company" was a pioneer in the sexual revolution of modern American television, because they were able to push the envelop of submission just a little further each week. But it is also a very funny, classic, sitcom that the entire family can watch. It is unfortunate that "Three's Company" never really got the respect it deserved. Although Jenilee Harrison and Priscilla Barnes are excellent, it is also unfortunate that by the 6th season Suzanne Somers was long gone.
There are a total of TWENTY-SEVEN episodes from Season 6!!
Here is a list of all the episodes with original air dates:
Jack Bares All (a.k.a. Oh, Nurse) (1) First aired: 10/6/1981
Before Cindy's going away party, Jacket meets Terri at the hospital and they do not hit it off. Larry vows to Jack that they'll get Terri to leave once he finds out that Janet takes in Terri as a new roommate.
Jack Bares All (a.k.a. Oh, Nurse) (2) First aired: 10/6/1981
Terri tries her best to warm up to Jack, which proves to be totally unsuccessful. Eventually Jack learns that Terri is a kind and sweet person who he is lucky to have as roommate.
Terri Makes Her Move First aired: 10/13/1981.
Terri moves in, and because of Larry's double-talk tries to get Jack in the sack.
Professor Jack First aired: 10/27/1981
Jack is giving cooking lessons to raise some money and Terri mistakes them as love lessons. I think this is such an over-the-top episode, one of the funniest from Season 6. BTW, has anyone ever heard of "love lessons"?
Some of That Jazz First aired: 11/3/1981
Jack comes to the rescue when Janet meets an unscrupulous ballet dancer.
Lies My Roommate Told Me First aired: 11/10/1981

When Bob the bartender hits it off with Terry, Janet has a temper-tantrum. This is another "ugly duckling" Janet episode.
Macho Man First aired: 12/15/1981
While taking fighting lessons from Terri, Jack accidentally tackles an undercover cop; BTW didn't this happen in Season Two?
Strangers in the Night First aired: 1/5/1982
With Larry's help (apparently in this ep he can sing), he goes to a women's apartment to sing to her, but sings for the wrong women (a big, and older lady)! The older women comes to Jacks apartment, and Jack was so kind to her; why can't men really be like this?

Welcome Priscilla!, January 5, 2006
The 1981-82 season,the sixth for Three's Company,began a little later than usual due to a writers' strike. Fortunately,the strike didn't last as long as the actors' strike that delayed the beginning of the previous season. Suzanne Somers,one of the original TC cast,was officially fired after 1980-81 although Jennilee Harrison filled Somers' shoes as the roommate of Jack Tripper(the late John Ritter) and Janet Wood(Joyce DeWitt) in the middle of that season. In 1981-82,Cindy Snow,Chrissy's beautiful but clumsy cousin played by Harrison,moved out of apartment 201 to study veterinary medicine at UCLA(University of California at Los Angeles). So Jack and Janet throw her a farewell party. Guests included upstairs neighbor Larry Dallas(Richard Kline),landlord Ralph Furley(Don Knotts),and Jack's and Janet's not-yet-moved-in roommate Terri Alden(Priscilla Barnes). Also Jack went back to work at Angelino's Restaurant(he was fired after one shift under a different name in the previous season). Jack rejoined his boss Frank Angelino(Jordan Charney,playing the role recurringly) and Felipe Gomez(Gino Conforti,also playing the role recurringly). Jack injured his finger in Angelino's kitchen and was sent to Wilshire Memorial Hospital. He was placed under the care of a beautiful nurse who gives him a tetanus shot. Here's where Jack and Terri meet. Terri is that nurse. At first,Jack didn't want to be roommates with Terri after how she treated him. But Jack changes his mind at the party. Cindy regularly visited apartment 201 when she wasn't at UCLA. Here's what else we see this season: When Terri moves in,her parents and sister drop by to see the apartment. Also,she tries to perform as best she could on her violin(she was studying the instrument). I thought it sounded awful! Janet almost becomes a professional dancer(she quit working at Arcade Florists and later came back). She was sexually harrassed by her male instructor. The trio spend the weekend at Cindy's aunt's farm. Terri on a dinner date with a co-worker,a psychiatrist who Jack and Janet thought was a "looney bin" patient. Jack ends up in jail because he unknowingly set a wanted criminal free. Jack serenades a southern belle with the aid of Larry and two guitars. Jack's healthy grandfather,who Jack thought was terminally ill,visits the trio and Wilshire for treatment from Jack(the grandfather thought Jack was an M.D.). Also there's a two-part retrospective entitled "The Best of Three's Company",hosted by the late Lucille Ball. We also see Ritter and Ball meeting. Ritter was a longtime admirer of the star of the 1950's sitcom I LOVE LUCY. After this season,Harrison was written out and her character was never mentioned again. I dedicate this item to the memory of Ritter(September 17,1948-September 11,2003).

The Debut of Terri Alden , March 20, 2006
I've always loved Three's Company for its ability to replace characters and still remain entertaining and memorable. As popular as Suzanne Somers was on the show, I always enjoyed Priscilla Barnes more. Terri Alden is every bit as attractive as Chrissy Snow and much more intelligent. It's a shame Priscilla Barnes was not happy with her experience on this show, because she truly made this season special. Don Knotts, John Ritter, and Joyce DeWitt continue to deliver wonderful performances as Mr. Furley, Jack, and Janet. Several reviewers have said this was one of the best seasons of Three's Company. I agree with them completely.
