Three's Company: Jack Moves Out (1979)
Jack leaves the apartment
The main plot involves Larry offering Jack a job as a live-in cook for his boss, Mr. Layton. Jack isn't interested initially.
Jack goes home to the apartment and a terrible argument breaks out between Jack and the girls. The argument only gets worse and the live-in cook job doesn't look so bad anymore.
Jack leaves the apartment and takes Mr. Layton up on his job offer. (Mr. Layton is played by Jordan Charney, who would play Mr. Angelino later in the series).
There are many funny moments at Mr. Layton's place. The cooking was the easy part for Jack. There is another challenge that proves to be troublesome for Jack.
Meanwhile back at the apartment, Janet & Chrissy need to figure out how to cook and how to protect themselves.
John Larroquette makes an appearance as a police officer near the end. He improvised part of the scene to get more exposure of his head. It worked like a charm!
End of spoilers. You'll have to watch the episode to enjoy the comedic chaos.
Three's Company: The Brunch (1982)
Flipper, Flipper, Flipper!!!
A drunken Ralph Furley cannot seem to say Felipe. The arguments between Furley & Felipe are fantastic.
This episode revolves around Jack trying to convince a minister that he runs a respectable establishment, so he can acquire a liquor license.
What could possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything.
Two newlyweds who can't keep their hands off each other. Furley helping out and getting drunk. Larry brings a very sophisticated date over who shouldn't drink wine but does. Etc, etc, etc....
The episode opens with Janet and Teri in swimsuits but for "the brunch" they wear outfits more likely to be seen on much older ladies in church.
An excellent episode with lots of laughs at Jack's Bistro.
Highly recommended.
Three's Company: Opening Night (1982)
Larry's large family saves the day
For me this would easily be in the top 3 episodes of Season 7. Who knew Larry had such a big family coming into LA? Got to love the Greek Dancing at the end. Looks like Richard Kline breaks character laughing at Jack's "interpretation" of Greek dancing.
Speaking of Richard Kline, we find out 7 seasons in that he is Greek. Dallas was short for Dalliapoulos, as Larry claims he couldn't spell his own last name.
There are laughs throughout this episode!!!
One of my favorite bits is when Janet and Teri head in front of the restaurant to try to drum up some business for Jack. (There's lots of food but no customers partially because Larry put the wrong opening day on the flyer). The second man Janet and Teri try to convince to come into Jack's Bistro backfires. Janet and Teri play this one extremely sexy and wind up getting arrested by this man who works for the vice squad. It's priceless when Furley opens the door, as the girls frantically knock, in one of his finest suits. (Extreme sarcasm).
If you are a fan of the show, I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode.
Rizzoli & Isles: Hide and Seek (2016)
Not What It Seems At First
No spoilers. A episode that has a few twists, that make this one quite engaging. This should keep your attention for the duration of the show.
Well done, from the script to the actors & director.
Highly recommended.
According to Jim: Physical Therapy (2009)
Should Have Listened To Mandy
No spoilers here. The eight season was a bit weaker without Dana. The friction between Dana and Jim added lots of laughs to the show.
This though is my personal favourite from the final season. Lots of good laughs throughout this one. Splendid directing job by Penny Marshall.
Definitely a worthwhile a show.
Take Two: It Takes a Thief (2018)
It Is An Excellent Episode....
Very well done. The chemistry is certainly there between Sam & Eddie. This one is well directed written, acted, etc...
A very good story and a race against time makes this an excellent episode.
Highly recommended!
The Simpsons: A Serious Flanders (2021)
Where Did This Come From....
What a fantastic episode. IMHO this can hang with the all-time Simpson's classics.
Let's face it, in Season 33 the show is hardly new & fresh. To write an episode like this at this stage in the game is a real pleasant surprise. I'm certainly not saying some episodes over the last few years were not excellent. It just this episode achieved something many of us, (may agree), haven't seen for a while.
Highest recommendation.
The Simpsons: Krusty Gets Busted (1990)
Strongest Episode of Season 1
Simply the funniest episode from Season 1. Between Krusty's show, which is exactly the opposite of what a kids show should be, and Sideshow Bob taking over the show and making it more educational.......this episode has laughs from beginning to end.
I don't want to spoil anything but if you could only see one episode from Season 1, this would be a great choice.
