John Ritter as Jack Tripper

The ladies told Mr. Roper that Jack (John Ritter) was gay, but his interest in women was made clear in the first moment of the show's intro—Jack falls off his bicycle while sneaking a peek at a passing female heinie.

John Ritter, Now

John Ritter starred in a number of TV series after Three's Company finished in 1984, including the spin-off Three's a Crowd (1984-1985), the underrated Steven Bochco show Hooperman (1987-1989), and Hearts Afire (1992-1995). He was the star of the hit ABC sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter when he died suddenly in 2003. The show continued after his death but was renamed 8 Simple Rules.

Joyce DeWitt as Janet Wood

Joyce DeWitt's Janet Wood was the brains of the Santa Monica threesome. But that doesn't mean she didn't love a good party. In fact, the first episode featured Janet sporting a wicked hangover.

Joyce DeWitt, Now

Ms. DeWitt had a number of small-screen roles and produced a special for NBC called Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company (2003). She recently appeared onstage in the off-Broadway hit Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage. Producer/director Ken Davenport tells Snakkle, "Working with Joyce DeWitt was a joy. I say that as the director and producer of Miss Abigail's Guide... and also as the teenager that had the biggest crush on Janet you could imagine."

Richard Kline as Larry Dallas

Was there ever a character who was more '70s than Larry Dallas? Okay, maybe Jack Tripper. But Jack was a choirboy compared to Larry (played by Richard Kline), a used-car salesman who was always willing to lie to a woman if it would increase his chances to... whatever they were allowed to call "have sex with" on TV in the '70s. Bonus retro-goodness: Here is Richard Kline in a classic Stove Top Stuffing commercial. "Instead of potatoes!"

Don Knotts as Ralph Furley

Ralph Furley took over as the landlord when Mr. Roper moved to a different location (a.k.a. a spin-off series). As played by Don Knotts, Furley was even more outlandish than Roper. Just the sight of Knotts's famously freaky face is enough to get us laughing.

Don Knotts, Now

Don Knotts had a recurring role as Les "Ace" Calhoun on Matlock, which reunited him with his former costar Andy Griffith. He also popped up on Fish Police (1992), an animated series starring John Ritter. Knotts died in 2006 at the age of 81.

Suzanne Somers as Chrissy Snow

Suzanne Somers' Chrissy Snow was the original Three's Company dumb blonde; in the first episode, it was her outrageously alcoholic punch that knocked out Janet and Jack. But without that drunken night, the three would never have gotten together...

Suzanne Somers, Now

Many people thought Somers was dumber than Chrissy when she left Three's Company in 1981. But in real life, the not-so-dumb blonde bounced back in a big way, starring in the series She's the Sheriff (1987-1989) and Step by Step (1991-1998). She is also, of course, the spokeswoman for the ThighMaster and other products.

Priscilla Barnes as Terri Alden

It was a difficult task replacing first Chrissy Snow, and then her cousin Cindy. But Terri Alden (played by Priscilla Barnes) handled the pressure with blonde aplomb. It helped that Terri was supposed to be a little bit smarter than her predecessors—she was a nurse, after all.

Priscilla Barnes, Now

Ms. Barnes has worked steadily on the big and small screen, including an appearance in the pilot episode for Suzanne Somers' She's the Sheriff. Her next role is in the upcoming thriller Stingy Jack.

Audra Lindley as Helen Roper

Helen Roper (played by Audra Lindley) probably loved her husband Stanley very much. But that didn't stop her from mercilessly questioning his manhood and his ability to keep her satisfied in the bedroom.

Audra Lindley, Now

Ms. Lindley costarred with Normal Fell on The Ropers (1979-1980), then continued to land roles on numerous television series. Her final role was as Virginia Sheridan on the Cybill Shepherd vehicle Cybill. Ms. Lindley died in 1997.

Jenilee Harrison as Cindy Snow

Exit Chrissy Snow, enter cousin Cindy (played by Jenilee Harrison). Three's Company was a series that required a blonde, preferably a dumb one. Cindy was more clumsy than dumb, but she was certainly very, very blonde. Bonus: Here is Harrison's pre-Company appearance on CHiPs, playing a cheerleader for the L.A. Rams, which she was in real life.

Jenilee Harrison, Now

Jenilee Harrison played Jamie Ewing Barnes on Dallas (1984-1986) and also showed up as a guest star on She's the Sheriff (1988). She later appeared in an infomercial for Chef Tony's Ultimate Chopper.

Norman Fell as Stanley Roper

Oh, Mr. Roper. You thought you were so smart. But you were probably dumber than Chrissy. Okay, maybe not that dumb. Then again... Seriously, you couldn't figure out what was going on in that apartment? C'mon, man.

Norman Fell, Now

Like most of the Three's Company cast, Normal Fell found steady TV work, including an appearance as a ventriloquist on the John Ritter series Hooperman (1989); seriously, check out Hooperman—it was a really good show. Mr. Fell died in 1998.
