Three's Company (TV Series) Downhill Chaser (1980) User Reviews

An episode where you don't see the apartment.

[TheMaxMachine · 9/10 · 21 July 2021]

Almost everything takes place on the sets of the ski lodge. The opening is at the Reagle Beagle.

Jack says he's an expert skier to impress a girl named Inga. Of course, he can't ski at all.

Larry's fake cast provides a lot of laughs.

Furley attempting to avoid the rather plump masseuse was terrific.

Janet trying to teach Jack how to ski at the very last minute is a ton of fun. Watching Janet accidentally push Jack down "The Flying Dutchman" was priceless.

One of the top episodes from Season 5.

The Flying Dutchman

[69ChevelleSS · 9/10 · 25 January 2024]

As the other reviewer pointed out, this episode from Season 5 does not show the trio's apartment. I believe there are three sets for this show.... The Reagle Beagle, the Ski Lodge and the Ski Hill. (Top of the Flying Dutchman ski run).

Also this is the first episode that we would no longer see Chrissy other than the phone call to Janet. Usually in the tag.

How do they do without Chrissy? Well....excellent. This is a very funny show. Easily in my top five of Season 5. Apparently Don Knotts took over many of Chrissy's lines.

Got to love Jack's tales of his (imaginary) skiing skill to impress Inga, when Jack really can't ski. Although in Season 4 for the episode "And Baby Makes Two", the trio have a ski trip planned. Three's Company never really cared much about continuity. I agree, the laughs are more important.

If you're a fan of the show, I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode.
