Three's Company: Jack Moves Out

Three's Company: Jack Moves Out
ABC
May 8, 1979
Sitcom
DVD
B-

I probably would've gone with a C+ on this Wayne & Burditt episode if, one, Jack hadn't apologized to the girls, and two, Larroquette didn't do so much with his small role of the Cop.  As for the main plot of Jack getting a job as live-in chef for Larry's boss, only to have the boss's wife (Cynthia Harris, who was Diane Nugent on The Bob Newhart Show) hit on him, it's mainly notable for a couple reasons.  One is that the show is never very good about handling the topic of sexual harassment, especially when Jack is the victim.  The other is that the producers must've really liked Charney, because they'd give him a fake beard and make him Jack's boss Mr. Angelino.

Paul Kent has his first of two 3'sC roles, Alvin Morrell.  Amusingly, Frances is played by an actress named Janet Wood.
