Got fired when she demanded to be paid the same as John Ritter. She had to be delusional to think she was anywhere in his league comedically, she was just window dressing, he was the talent. Three's Company was a dumb show, but Ritter was hilarious, his antics made a dumb sitcom genuinely funny. When Somers left, show didn't miss a beat. If Ritter had left it would have been dead in the water.
Always liked Ritter, like he showed in Three's Company, he had a way of taking average material and making it funnier than it deserved to be. Funny thing is, much of his physical comedy was based on Jerry Lewis, someone he often cited as an influence. I never thought Jerry Lewis was funny at all in his movies, his style of physical comedy never made me laugh but for some reason I found John Ritter doing Jerry Lewis schtick to be hilarious. I have no idea why that is.

Three's Company was a dumb show but Ritter's talent elevated it to a pretty funny show. When Somers left, show didn't miss a beat. If Ritter had left it would have been dead in the water.
Always liked Ritter, like he showed in Three's Company he had a way of taking average material and making it funnier than it had a right to be. Funny thing is, his style of physical humor is very similar to Jerry Lewis, someone he has cited as an influence but I don't find Jerry Lewis to be funny at all. For some reason I find John Ritter doing Jerry Lewis schtick to be hilarious but have no idea why that is.
You beat me to it.
