No. "Three's Company", on the other hand, does not have newsgroups, fan clubs, product tie-ins, season premiere parties, zillions of column inches in newspapers and magazines, masses of critical acclaim, and so on and so on.

The show was, in many ways, so close to being so good; that just makes it all the more frustrating when, in other respects, it falls so short. > > It's flawed, but it's still better than virtually all of the remainder > > of the TV wasteland.
