Theatrical Release Information:
Three's Company: Season 08

The eighth and final season of Three's Company finds most of the cast intact (though it's not entirely the original line-up): John Ritter as restauranteur Jack Tripper, Joyce DeWitt as Jack's florist roommate Janet Wood, and Priscilla Barnes as his other roommate, nurse Terri Alden. Also on hand is Don Knotts as the trio's landlord, Ralph Furley, who wrongly suspects that there's a ménage à trois going on under his roof, despite Jack's deceptive pose as a homosexual. Additionally, Richard Kline continues popping up in the role of Jack's libidinous photographer pal, Larry Dallas. In contrast, two recurring characters, Brad Blaisdell as Mike the bartender and Jordan Charney as Jack's former boss Frank Angelino, bid farewell to the series during season eight. Just as Three's Company's British-TV predecessor, Man About the House, was succeeded by the spin-off series Robin's Nest, so too were plans drawn up to end Three's Company at the close of its eighth season and replace it with a new show, Three's a Crowd. In preparation for this transition, Jack Tripper meets and falls in love with Vicki Bradford (Mary Cadorette), with whom he decides to move in. Once this decision has been made, Janet likewise leaves the old apartment, having married a guy named Philip (David Ruprecht), while Terri heads off to do charity work in Hawaii. And thus, after 172 episodes, the song called Three's Company is ended. ~ All Movie Guide
