Joyce DeWitt Reflects on ‘Three’s Company’ 40 Years Later

Come on knock on our door! Joyce DeWitt (a.k.a. Janet) is taking a trip down memory lane to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Three’s Company finale.

“The most dear, precious, tender — and utterly unexpected — experiences that have come from working in Three’s Company are the many, many adults who have told me that Three’s Company was a safe haven they could count on during their teen years — for some, the only safe haven,” DeWitt, 75, exclusively told Us Weekly while reflecting on the Wednesday, September 18, milestone.

DeWitt noted that she’s enjoyed “countless letters and spontaneous conversations” with fans, who she think found “comfort” in watching the sitcom. Three’s Company, which ran for eight seasons from 1976 to 1984 — and lived on for decades later in syndication — followed the hijinks of Jack Tripper (John Ritter) after he moved into an apartment with Janet Wood (DeWitt) and Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers). The beloved, lighthearted series made the most of all three stars’ comedic gifts— so many pratfalls and misunderstandings! — and undeniable, warm chemistry with one another playing platonic roomies.
