It was extremely homophobic (and insulting) even for its day! Set in the homophobic mid 70’s…the story line was rather ridiculous and ignorant!

I remember the show fondly from when I was like 6 and a young queer because, as I grew up, I thought any publicity is good publicity; but I haven’t revisited it as an adult because f*ck gay panic and f*ck using gay as the butt of a joke. Doesn’t matter the time period. Bad show. Good article.

In reply to Teddy White.

I was very clear – gay panic jokes are hacky, which is bad for TV comedies. That they are also obviously offensive (which I didn’t think I needed to point out, since it’s plainly obvious) is a terrible combination. Here‘s an interesting article you can read to learn more about how hacky and offensive gay panic jokes are.

You do realize that Three’s Company is a comedy, right? Not sure what’s so “bad” about this? Since you don’t actually explain what’s so “bad” one might just assume that you don’t really know. It’s actually a pretty funny scene: Larry seemingly getting into a car with the wrong person in a case of mistaken identity. Again, you do realize it’s a comedy, right? Not only is this brief scene not “bad” it’s actually fairly amusing.

By the way, how do you know that “Larry was climbing into the bumper car of a woman he doesn’t know”? How do you know that he wasn’t at the amusement park with a dark haired woman in a blue shirt and accidentally got into the wrong bumper car with a man who also happened to be dark haired and wearing a blue shirt?

Sorry, pretty lousy article that doesn’t really say much.

Sadly, it ended the same way as the British show it was based on.

Such an awful show. I couldn’t stand it new and it has not aged well at all.
