The premise of the 1977 sitcom "Three's Company" -- adapted from the 1973 British series "Man About the House" -- would likely never fly in 2024. Roommates Janet (Joyce DeWitt) and Chrissy (Suzanne Somers) require a third roommate to pay rent in their expensive Santa Monica apartment. They stumble across Jack Tripper (John Ritter), an aspiring culinary student whom they get along with. It so happens, though, that the building's landlord, Mr. Roper (Normal Fell), is ultra-conservative and refuses to let unmarried men and women share his apartments. To get around this contrived contingency, Janet and Chrissy tell Mr. Roper that Jack is gay. This satisfies the landlord but opens Jack up to homophobic jibes.
Fell eventually left the series and was replaced by the high-strung Mr. Furley, played by Don Knotts. Mr. Furley, it seems, required the charade to continue. Somers also left the show in its last two seasons and was...

Dick Butkus, a Hall of Famer who was among the greatest, most respected and most feared players in NFL history and also had a long acting career in TV, film and commercials, died overnight in his sleep at his Malibu home. He was 80.
His family confirmed the news on social media.
After back-to-back All-America seasons at the University of Illinois, Butkus was picked No. 3 overall by his hometown Chicago Bears in 1965. A fearsome force on the field and rather gentle giant off of it, he spent his entire injury-shortened nine-season career with the club, redefining the linebacker position in the process.

Active from 1965-73, Butkus was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for both the 1960s and ’70s and was selected for the All-Time NFL Team in 2000. A six-time All-nfl selection and two-time Defensive Player of the Year, he played in eight consecutive Pro Bowls and...

NBC’s primetime Tuesday coverage of the Olympics was filled with chilly thrilling spills, as crazy weather bedeviled crazier sports. The women competing in the Alpine Giant Slalom faced rough terrain, while the men competing in Snowboard Cross faced rough terrain and the fact that Snowboard Cross is basically a demolition derby without any safety protocols. Summer Olympians Lolo Jones and Lauryn Williams crossed over into a whole new weather pattern, competing in the Women’s Bobsled (or “Bobsleigh,” as they call it in Westeros.)

In case you missed last week's edition, this is a weekly feature at SpoilerTV where I break down the five biggest TV ratings stories of each week. There was so much going on during premiere week that I really had trouble boiling it all down to a "Five-Spot"! What I'll do is look at the really big story of premiere week, then a winner and a loser both among the new shows and the returning shows. Here's the premiere week Ratings Five-Spot:
Two and a Half Men - Everyone expected Ashton Kutcher's debut on Two and a Half Men would be big. But this big? I see entertainment journalists say they were "great ratings" and, while I guess that's true, it seems like the understatement of the year! To try to put Two and a Half Men's 28.74 million viewers and 10.7/25 adults 18-49 rating in perspective, here...

The season premiere for "Two and a Half Men" was expected to be big -- but this big? Wow.
The show's first episode with Ashton Kutcher, and first without Charlie Sheen, set series highs across the board Monday (Sept. 19) and became the most-watched season premiere of a scripted show since "CSI" in 2005. The premiere was also the most-watched episode of a half-hour comedy since the "Everybody Loves Raymond" finale, also in 2005.
The final same-day nationals for the "Men" premiere put it at 28.74 million viewers and a 10.7 rating among adults 18-49, up from 27.8 million and 10.3 in the fast nationals.
Sheen, meanwhile, drew a significant number of eyeballs to Comedy Central for his roast. The special scored 6.4 million viewers in its premiere and 10 million over the course of several airings Monday night, making it the most-watched Comedy Central roast ever.
Other notes from the first official night of the 2011-12 season:

‘Two And A Half Men’ Premiere: What Did You Think? Updated: The debut of Two and a Half Men with new star Ashton Kutcher lived up to the hype ratings-wise, while NBC hit a major bump on the opening night of the season. The ninth-season premiere of Two and a Half Men last night drew 27.7 million viewers and posted a 10.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic, numbers rarely seen for show not named American Idol these days and a series record for Men by a large margin. In 18-49, Men more than doubled its season-premiere number last fall, up 110%. This was the highest-rated season premiere on any network in six years, since Desperate Housewives‘ second-season opener in September 2005. Two and a Half Men provided a great lead-in for CBS’ new comedy 2 Broke Girls, which drew a 7.0/13 in 18-49 and 19.5 million viewers in its premiere behind Men before it moves to the 8:30 Pm slot next week.

It feels like both Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer have been on a whole lot of TV shows, doesn't it?
But when the stars of TNT's new lawyer dramedy 'Franklin & Bash' (premieres Wed., June 1 at 9Pm Et) sat down with AOL TV to talk about the show, Gosselaar took pains to mention that, despite the presence of such flame-outs as 'Inside Schwartz' on Meyer's IMDb profile, his co-star has been in less TV shows than people think.
"I'm gonna put him in his place," joked Gosselaar, who's starred in everything from 'Saved By The Bell' to 'NYPD Blue.' "He hasn't had a long TV career. I think he's more known for his films, because what, B, you only had two shows?"
Meyer's semi-self-deprecating reply shows that the two have an easy chemistry, even off-screen: "Yeah, two shows. Except for some reason,...

Tim Allen’s return to primetime is a go: ABC ordered a new comedy that will star the Home Improvement star as a traditional manly-man in a progressive world. The laugher also will feature Nancy Travis, who will play Allen’s “smart and loving wife who doesn’t miss much.” Hector Elizondo will serve as Allen’s boss Ed.
The comedy is titled Last Man Standing and is from the Emmy-winning Jack Burditt (The Mike O’Malley Show, Inside Schwartz). ABC also picked up Apartment 23 (which previously had the rather great but ultimately doomed title Don’t Trust the Bitch...

Since the mid-1980s, NBC has always had at least two sitcom footholds during their Must See Thursday offerings, with shows like: "The Cosby Show," "Family Ties" "Different Strokes," "Mad About You," "Night Court," "Cheers," "Taxi," "Seinfeld," "Frasier," "Friends," and -- for the last few years -- "The Office" and "30 Rock." But the network has often struggled to fill in those gaps. launching a number of mediocre to putrid sitcoms in those holes. Yet, up until "Friends" left the air, and before the prevalence of DVRs, NBC had such a stronghold on on the night, that many of those sitcoms managed top ten ratings. Few probably remember the Christina Applegate sitcom, Jesse," for instance, but it ran for two years. In its first year, it was the sixth-highest rated show of 1998 -1999, receiving about two-and-a-half times more viewers than "The Office" does today (or five times the viewers of "Community.

ABC just persuaded a major player from its glory days to come back and engage in a little home improvement.

After a decade in features, Spin City writer-producer Jeff Lowell is returning to television with a single-camera comedy at NBC produced by ABC Studios and Brillstein Entertainment. The untitled project, which has received a script order, is a romantic comedy about a couple from the point of view of the man and the woman whose unspoken thoughts we can hear via voiceover. "It's a little bit like the balcony scene from Annie Hall," Lowell said, adding that he got the idea for the project from reflecting on his relationship with his wife -- together since they were 15-years-old. "The secret to happiness and a strong marriage is unexpressed thoughts," he said. Lowell and his family left Hollywood after his short stint on NBC's Inside Schwartz in 2001 and moved to Charlottesville, Va. He started writing movies and has had 3 produced: John Tucker Must Die, Over Her Dead Body and Hotel for Dogs.

The 2010-11 season is still pretty young, but it's safe to say that it's not going down in TV history as the start of a new golden age.
So far no new series has established itself as a breakout hit or etched itself on the pop-culture landscape. Yes, there have been some popular successes ("Hawaii Five-0," "Mike & Molly") and a few critical darlings ("Boardwalk Empire," "Terriers"), but nothing so far has broken into the Holy-cow-did-you-see-that-last-night club.
The relative lack of buzz around this fall's crop of new shows got us thinking: Which season in the past decade or so has produced the best new TV? There have been two pretty amazing brilliant years, a handful of so-so seasons and a couple of real stinkers. Zap2it ranks the best seasons for new shows since 2000-01 in ascending order:

Jeff Zucker's announcement that he's leaving NBC Universal when the company's merger with Comcast is finished brought some pangs of nostalgia. Because we won't have Zucker to kick around anymore.
Zucker was the president of NBC Entertainment from 2001-04 -- he had been the executive producer of "Today" prior to that -- then moved up the executive ladder from there before becoming CEO of NBC Universal in late 2007. Since then, he hasn't had as much of a hand in the day-to-day running of NBC, so most of his programming legacy comes from before then. But he left a lot of things to remember him by -- here are a few mementos from the Zucker Era.
"Fear Factor." In 2001, reality was still a relatively new concept for the broadcast networks. "Survivor" was only a year old, "American Idol" and "The Bachelor" didn't yet exist. NBC's first big entry into the genre was "Fear Factor,...

This is fertile, untapped ground for sitcoms and romantic comedies. I mean, think of it! Never before in the history of the warming glow of the televisual media have they ever developed a family or relationship on television based solely on the differences between men and women. Take for example, the well-known fact that men like sports, but women obviously don't ("Inside Schwartz") or that women love shopping, and men can't stand it ("Sex in the City") or that men want sex all the time ("Californication," "Married With Children") and that women always have headaches ("Designing Women," "The Golden Girls").

10. Hey Paula: Watching the spectacle of "Hey Paula" unfold is every bit the confusing and delightful train wreck you'd no doubt expect it to be. We move along to the ill-fated "Idol" satellite publicity tour, and -- much like Titanic -- we all know how that ends. Messy and fucking horrific -- with a big helping of the weepy jags. Unless you failed to turn on a computer throughout the entire month of January, it was hard to miss the smattering of Internet videos of Paula bombing interviews like a kamikaze in a Kubrick film, thereby capturing her crazy inebriated behavior for immortal YouTube posterity.
