Though “Three’s Company” was a professional production, it did have a rather surprising on-set slip-up.
In fact, in multiple episodes, you’re likely to catch a glimpse of a stray boom mic or crew member’s hand falling into the shot. Hey, it happens to the best of them!
Somers Departure from The Show Hurt Her Friendship with Ritter and DeWitt
On-set tension can be a major test of an actor’s performance. After the major salary drama involving Somers and her departure from the show, she sadly ended her relationship with her co-stars.
It was revealed that things were rocky well before her exit as DeWitt and Ritter would not even speak to her during filming.
Suzanne Somers Shows Up in the Credits Wearing a Wig
In the opening credits for the show, viewers see Jack ride his bike past a brunette woman who has her back turned to the camera.
She is apparently very beautiful and makes Jack crash his bike. Well, the beautiful brunette was actually Suzanne Somers in a wig!
Jack Tripper Got His Own Spin-off.
After the end of "Three's Company," there was yet another spin-off attempt by the producers of the show. ABC then attempted to launch the show, "Three's a Crowd."
The plot centered around Jack Tripper moving in with his new girlfriend but (maybe because it was too similar to "Three’s Company") this spin-off fizzled out as well.
Priscilla Barnes Got In Trouble For Her Hair Being “Too Blonde.”
Producers really struggled to find a replacement for Somer’s character. After the departure of Chrissy, she was replaced by Cindy, and after Cindy was written out of the show, she was replaced by Terri (played by Priscilla Barnes).
According to Barnes, she said the producers didn’t want her because her hair was dyed “too blonde”. What’s a girl to do?
