For whatever reason, Joyce DeWitt refused to let her bare legs be revealed while starring on the show. Whether it was modesty or self-consciousness, DeWitt never went without a pair of pantyhose when her legs were being shown.
She was so dedicated to concealing her legs that she even landed an endorsement deal with the pantyhose brand L’eggs!
Don Knotts Supported Suzanne Somers
While the rest of her castmates shunned her, Don Knotts actually empathized with Somers. He recounted a time where he also had a salary dispute with producers when he was on "The Andy Griffith Show."
He was disappointed to see her co-stars leave her to herself so Knotts actually made a point to speak with Suzanne on set as a demonstration of support.
The Show Was Based On a British TV Series
Interestingly enough, "Three’s Company" was actually based off of a British show from the 70s called "Man About the House." "Man About the House" centered on two female roommates who (after a night of partying) wake up to find a man asleep in their apartment.
The three later become roommates, exactly like "Three’s Company!"
More Than One Script Was Made During Somer’s Contract Drama
Much of the behind the scenes drama revolved around Somer’s contract debacle. Producers were so vexed by Somer’s demands that, during the negotiation, two scripts were created for the cast.
As in one including the character of Chrissy and one without her!
There Was Another Roommate Before Jack
Yes, you heard it right, before Jack, Chrissy and Janet had another roommate. Before Jack, their roommate was named Eleanor and she actually made an appearance in the episode, Eleanor’s Return. She was played by Miriam Black.
In the episode, her visit to her former apartment actually had Jack a little nervous he would be replaced.
