Three's Company: Jack the Giant Killer

Three's Company: Jack the Giant Killer
ABC
April 14, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
C+

I'm missing the MAtH episode this is based on, although I did write about it on my 2011 blog.  Like I said then, this is my least favorite 3'sC Season One episode, but it's not bad.  Jack is intimidated by a bully (Peter Palmer, who would be on M*A*S*H the next year), while Mr. Roper stands up to the jerk.  Jack has doubts about his manhood and "can't even raise a smile" when he walks in on Chrissy in the shower.

Paul Ainsley makes his first of eleven appearances as Jim the Bartender.  This is the only 3'sC episode written by Dennis Koenig and Larry Balmagia, who'd do 17 and 8 respectively for M*A*S*H.
