On-set tension can be a major test of an actor’s performance. After the major salary drama involving Somers and her departure from the show, she sadly ended her relationship with her co-stars.
It was revealed that things were rocky well before her exit as DeWitt and Ritter would not even speak to her during filming.
The Cast Almost Sang the Theme Song
The producers could look back at "Three’s Company" and see the show as a success but they almost made a highly questionable move in the sitcom’s development. Producers originally decided that they wanted Ritter, DeWitt, and Somers to sing the theme song.
It was revealed later though, that the actors were, well, best at just acting so the actual singers' Ray Charles (not the Blues musician) and Julia Miller were brought in instead.
John Larroquette Had a Memorable Guest Appearance On The Show.
John Larroquette (who would go on to star in "Night Court" and a number of other projects) landed the role of a police officer in one episode of "Three’s Company."
Apparently, his face wasn't supposed to be seen, but Larroquette boosted his cameo appearance by removing his hat so the audience could see who he was.
Suzanne Somers Shows Up in the Credits Wearing a Wig
In the opening credits for the show, viewers see Jack ride his bike past a brunette woman who has her back turned to the camera.
She is apparently very beautiful and makes Jack crash his bike. Well, the beautiful brunette was actually Suzanne Somers in a wig!
You Can See Boom Mics and Other Equipment In Multiple Episodes
Though "Three's Company" was a professional production, it did have a rather surprising on-set slip-up.
In fact, in multiple episodes, you're likely to catch a glimpse of a stray boom mic or crew member's hand falling into the shot. Hey, it happens to the best of them!
