Three's Company: Love Thy Neighbor

Three's Company: Love Thy Neighbor
ABC
September 18, 1979
Sitcom
DVD
C+

In Mark Tuttle's first of eleven 3'sC stories, 45-year-old Ann Wedgeworth, who immediately goes into the opening credits (Kline had finally achieved that the previous week), makes her debut as multiple divorcee Lana Shields, her first of nine appearances in the role.  Jack thinks the girls have bought him a present to celebrate the third anniversary of their living together.  (Does this mean Season One actually takes place in the Fall of '76?)  So he fills in for a couple nights at Larry's escort job to make some money, but Lana doesn't just want a dinner companion.  In the tag scene, sometimes left out in syndication, Lana turns out to have moved into the apartment building.  I'm going to assume that she signed the lease with Mr. Furley's brother, since Ralph hasn't yet shown up and it'll be clear later that he hasn't met Lana.
