Three's Company: Jack Looks for a Job

Three's Company: Jack Looks for a Job
ABC
September 20, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
B

This is a rare adaptation that outdoes the British original in both humor and outrageousness.  Before Jack ends up working for Morris Morris (Fieldler, as mousy as on The Bob Newhart Show), he considers nude modeling.  The tag suggests he went through with it, despite his denials.  (And, yes, this was an era when you could have trading cards for even episodes about pornography.)  The story also has Janet much flirtier than usual with Jack, as she plays a lonely and horny housewife to prove that his sales manual doesn't cover every situation.
