Three's Company was on until 1984? That's as surprising as Ritter's untimely death.
It was rather shocking. Johnny Cash was no surprise, since his health had been lousy for years.
And, yup, the show was on forever in various incarnations. Indeed, Ritter starred in a follow-on show that I never saw called "Three's a Crowd" for another year. And, of course, there was the Ropers spinoff which ran 1979-80.
I remember Three's a Crowd and The Ropers, I just don't remember Three's Company lasting quite that long. Hmmm...
