what were the ratings after she left?She (and Joyce DeWitt as well as the other women) were gorgeous but John Ritter's talent made that show
what were the ratings after she left?
She was baaaaaaad
Her illness was kept on the low...RIP
so her leaving the show clearly had a impactSeason 5 is the last time we see Suzanne Somers play Chrissy Snow, she appears "fully" in episodes 1 and 3, and after that she spends the rest of Season 5 in a "cameo" role until her final appearance in Season 5, Episode 17 "And Baby Makes Four".
In season 5 (1980-81), Three's Company's ratings had fallen from 26.3 in Season 4 to 22.4 in Season 5 and its ranking fell from 2nd to 8th.
In Season 6 (1981-82), Three's Company had a rating of 23.3 and it ranked 4th
In Season 7 it had a rating of 21.2 and ranked 6th
In Season 8 it had a rating of 16.8 and dropped to 33rd.
TLDR:
Three's Company slumped in Season 5 and recovered in Seasons 6 and 7 before free-falling in Season 8.
so her leaving the show clearly had a impact
really? how many covers did john ritter do with cindy and terri? when the new girl replace chrissy, how many tv appearances did they do?It did but the show was still a hit for two more seasons before it dropped off in ratings and rank and most Three's Company fans attribute the fading popularity of the show to the changing times, it was 1984, and the premise wasn't as boundary-pushing as it was in 1977 when the show debuted and jiggle tv was falling out of fashion (although it would re-emerge in a way with shows like Baywatch in the 1990s)
all u can come with is tv guide? of course the terri era was on more covers, the show was sinking, i read those articles back in the day, thy punish suzanne because she knew her wealth and knows how to get a bag
