Come and Knock on Our Door

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

I love Three’s Company.  I never thought that I’d be able to watch an American sitcom from the 70′s and like it.

At first I hated it, Suzanne Somers’ acting was poor and John Ritter’s over the top slap-stickiness got on my nerves.  Now that I’m used to it, I really enjoy the show.  The plots are funny and the characters lovable.  I especially like Joyce DeWitt as Janet.

This new discovery inspired me to give a few other 70′s sitcoms a try.  Sometimes I watch the last fifteen minutes of M*A*S*H because I’m waiting for Three’s Company to start.  In two of the three episodes that I saw they had to be saved by a helicopter.  It would have been more entertaining if the helicopter didn’t show up and everyone died.  I really don’t like the characters at all. :P  (When my sister and I were younger, she would scream everytime she heard the theme song… she probably still does.)  Sanford and Son was pretty funny but didn’t capture my interest enough to keep me from changing channels.  I loved Mork & Mindy as a kid… I don’t love it anymore.  Maybe it’s just that I’ve seen enough of Robin William’s humor to last  two life times.  (btw, Jim Carrey also falls into that category.  -_-’ )
