Three's Company: A-Camping We Will Go
ABC
November 6, 1979
Sitcom

B
This Baser & Weiskopf episode has some great visual humor, from Jack's struggles with the hammock to Mr. Furley's safari look, and some nice verbal humor, such as Chrissy's line "Our lift left" and the jingles. It has the main cast of six playing off each other well, with the addition of Larry's actress girlfriend Laura (Louise Williams, who would return as Chloe Brown). I would like to give it a B+ or an A-, but there is the whole thing that various characters are making unwanted advances to other characters. Mr. Furley pursues Lana, who pursues Jack, who gropes the girls in the pup tent. I know this is part of farce but it does make me uncomfortable, especially when the audience applauds Mr. Furley's trick to make Lana keep her promise to be his "snugglebunny." So, yeah, a B feels right.
