Three's Company was definitely hilarious in its time, but parts of the sitcom have not aged very well.

The Big Picture If one were to make a list of classic sitcoms from the 1970s, Three's Company would be found among its rankings. The show premiered in 1977 and starred John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, and Suzanne Somers, and completed its production after eight seasons in 1984. The show was received so well during its time that it was nominated for five Emmys, one of which it won, and received two spin-offs.

To be fair, the idea itself is inherently funny, just as any cover story one must maintain has the potential to be, and it's clear there's no true malice involved within the writing. If any were to be seen, the majority is from the landlords as both Roper and Furley spent most of the show jabbing at Jack's perceived sexuality with slurs like "fairy" and "Tinkerbell.

Admittedly, this is the least reason for anyone to criticize the show. Without Three's Company pushing comedic boundaries, we wouldn't have some of today's most highly-rated shows. With that said, watching an episode like "And Now, Here's Jack," where Jack is invited to promote Angelino's, the Italian restaurant he works at, on a television talk show, can be rough.
