Product: Three's Company: Season One (1977)
Rating: 4.0
Great DVD, few episodes though
I loved this show. The show has taken on a "larger than life" persona over the years, which I think is misplaced. You'd think it was "I Love Lucy," "All in the Family," or "Mary Tyler Moore" with all the hype this show has received over the years. It isn't any of those things. It's simply a cute, light comedy show that always makes you laugh and is hilariously silly all the time. It also works to show off the bodies of Suzanne Somers, and even John Ritter. This first season really reminds you what the show really was, simple cute episodes with a lot of laughs, that doesn't take itself seriously as so many people today take this show as. The cast seems so young here, but you get a feel for the show and see the real comic genius of all involved, particularly Ritter. Though the price reflects this, this is only six-epidode DVD. If you've seen other first season DVD's for other shows, be aware that this is not a 20+ episode disc. It is six episodes that you will be able to watch within 2-3 hours as this show was a mid-season replacement so the first season was in fact only 6 episodes. There are no extras, apart from a brief written summary of each show and a brief written tribute to Ritter. I have no idea about the techical aspects of the transfer, but sound, image, and color seem good to me.
