Image:Tac logo.jpgThree's a Crowd was a short-lived American television sitcom spinoff of Three's Company. It was based on the British TV series Robin's Nest, just as Three's Company had been based on a British series, Man About the House (Indeed, Robin's Nest had been a spin-off of Man About the House). In Three's a Crowd, Jack Tripper (played by John Ritter) from Three's Company lived with his stewardess girlfriend Vicky Bradford (played by Mary Cadorette), but her father (played by Robert Mandan) didn't approve of him and was constantly trying to disrupt their relationship. Rounding out the cast was Alan Campbell as E.Z. Taylor, Jack's "surfer dude" assistant chef at his bistro; and Jessica Walter as Claudia Bradford, Vicky's mother and James's ex-wife.

It was broadcast on the ABC network from September 25, 1984 until April 9, 1985, with reruns appearing in primetime until September 10 1985. Daytime reruns aired on ABC for a few months in 1985, followed by another prime time run on USA Network. Some syndicated versions aired under the title Three's Company, Too, using the theme song of the parent series.
The show has not yet come to DVD but is most likely to be released after the final season of Three's Company is.
