This sitcom features a man living with two women---a titillatng premise, but they are platonic roommates, not romantic partners. Whatever trials they face, they are a de facto family that stands together, so despite the innuendos, the series has a heartwarming center.
John Ritter plays Jack Tripper, a chef, and his mugging and physical comedy are the core of the humor. Considered by some to be a comic genius, Ritter follows in the footsteps of Dick VanDyke.
Joyce Dewitt is Janet, a girl next door type, and Suzanne Somers is Chrissy, a naive blonde.
The show's comic style is mostly farce. It's main drawback is the portrayal of the trio's landlords, the Ropers. The wife is a nagger who constantly complains about her husband's lack of interest and sex drive. He endures her, but periodically lashes out and grins creepily. The result is more sad than funny.
Mostly lighthearted and antic, this show endured numerous cast changes, but remained reliably funny and fun.
