    Terri in that bikini.... Wow!!

    Classic Episode. We say goodbye to the old couch. Cameo by the late Anne Ramsey at the ATM machine

    Terri in a bikini

    Previous reviewer stole my thunder. Terri looked absolutely amazing and also noticed the late great Anne Ramsey before her Goonies and Throw Mama From The Train fame.

    We will never see this kind of TV 40 years later. John Ritter and Don Knotts are comedic gold. And such a great period piece when ATMs were in their infancy in the early 1980's.

    Always hilarious lines for Jack especially when he says "$100 Mama!!!" This episode also doesn't spare us the stock misunderstanding that Three's Company carried as a blueprint throughout its entire run.

    Priscilla Barnes is so likeable the more I watch this show I believe she was the best roommate no shade to Suzanne Somers or Jenilee Harrison (both were outstanding) but the last 3 seasons with Terri are by far my favorites.
