Consider Subscribing @TVsbesteps
-- Uplifting Eps --
"Up in the Air" (Three's Company)
Season 6, Episode 25
Written by: Shelley Zellman
Directed by: Dave Powers
Terri (Priscilla Barnes) convinces Janet (Joyce Dewitt) to take Jack (John Ritter) to a fancy party in order to make another man (Barry Williams) jealous. But the party is on an island and Jack is afraid to fly. So Larry (Richard Kline) gives Jack some tranquelizers for the flight.
At the party, Jack is still loopy from the pills and makes matters worse when he combines it with an energy drink... leading him to dance the night away.
This episode is considered a favorite amongst the Three's Company cast, including Ritter himself.

I like the theme to Grizzly Adams May there😅
Wow you took Grizzly Adams off the air Grizzly Adams was a good family show Dan Haggard rest in peace😢😩
Thank you
Oh i love Robin Sooo much… miss him sooooo much!
Reverend Jim Christopher Lloyd was brilliant
Great episode
Victor French and Michael Landon is one of the all-time classic TV BFF pairings, up there with Andy Griffith and Don Knotts.
This show really jumped the shark when that moron Williams rolled in 👎🏻
So close to Thanksgiving I give this video 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃up. Thank you on the history.
❤❤❤
I was just a kid, so I watched this show exclusively for Loni Anderson.
Don't be ridiculous!
Make t v great again
Harmless bullshite, and Hollywood kunts pointing the finger...like Harvey,.winestein and others who are behind bars or hiding in another country..smh .rest easy pee wee.🙏🏻
excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
That was a wrong choice. It was too early to be greedy at this point. Star of the show was John Ritter actually. Others were fillers. Janet was the best key supporting actor after John then Larry. I’m sorry they fired you Suzanne. 😢❤
BONANZA, LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE AND HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN. There's not a day in the 15 years I haven't fall asleep to Bonanza, and watch Highway to Heaven at night, before bed. I just love it and Need it. It makes you feel good. Just Great Shows.
Jim and Louie are both Scorpios.
I DO NOT BELIEVE that Robert was trying to "buy" the kids' affection!!!!! Personally, I just think the writers did not like Robert when they found out that he was gay. Back then sexuality was never talked about. I have never met him, but I wish I could have. He seemed like a gentle soul. SO WHAT, if he was gay. As long as he didn't parade around like he was rubbing his sexuality in people's faces, I don't see what the problem was. Let his memory remain clear. Stop ass/u/ming things that are not true. It will get you in trouble. He played the part of Michael Brady with dignity and class. He was wonderful. LOVE the Brady reruns.
I remember that episode from way back then and laughed so hard I could hardly stop. Later bought the series on DVDf and I'm still laughing. Thank you for posting this!😊
I loved Grizzly Adams!!!!
Wow she’s not bitching about something for once 😂
I saw this when it aired for the first time and was enthralled. Mork and Fonzie together was amazing!
The 2 most famous people shot in the back of the head while sitting in a theater. Abraham Lincoln and the guy who sat in front of Pee Wee Herman.
Brilliant production and editing! Williams is of course amazing, and it's fascinating to watch the studio exec zombies trying to cope with him, lol!
Sheesh, Robert Reed was very critical about the show.
Loved the whole cast, but John carried the show and was the only irreplaceable character
She was a damn fool
I saw Robin Williams before he was so famous and I think the most shocking but funny was if someone was taking pictures (long before cellphones) he'd grabbed their camera and stick it down his pants and take a picture! Early or mid 1970s I think. Long ago now.
i seen that episode when it first aired. i was young and didn't know anything about film and comedy, but i knew i was watching something special. this episode always stuck with me and john is still one of my absolute comedy idols. i was really heart broken when he passed.
No way. Someone killed him!! Jealousy, money, something! This is HOLLYWEIRD!
When I saw this episode I laughed so hard my sides hurt.
JEH was beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside. Also he was underrated as an actor because of this extreme beauty❤
This was my favourite show when I was a kid. I wanted to marry Mr Adam’s when I was nice lol to me he was the kindest man on the planet.
Jon was as humble as he was handsome. Truly missed and never forgotten, RIP❤
Needs digitly restoring. Cant believe they havent done it.
Is he with the vipers?
John was making 50k per episode and she asked for 150k plus 10% of profits. Ridiculous!
I thought Tony Clifton was in Taxi ?
I love this episode. 💯
My favorite line from the entire run of The Beverly Hillbillies is still Jethro's 'That ain't red gravy, that's what's they call marijuana sauce!'
I rarely watched the show but I was glad to catch this episode. Every time I think of it, it breaks me up. An all time comedy classic. Send it to the Smithsonian.
Ah, privacy. You kids born after 1990 have no idea what the word privacy is and will never know.
That was a great watch . cheers.
His heart donation saved a man’s life. His family was just that considerate.
Taxi was a huge favorite sitcom of mine. I thought the chemistry of the writers and the actors delivering the lines in particular Loyd was great. Thanks for sharing this great iconic TV sitcom laugh. I can even hear the classic theme song now too lol. 🤭
I just turned 11 when the "Mork" episode aired. You remember because you just didn't miss an episode of Happy Days, you just didn't. Robin talked so fast and you almost missed things he was saying but it was sooooo funny! The next day at school it's all we could talk about, and we were all greeting each other with his handshake and "Na-noo, Na-noo". Little did we know his short comedic explosion into our lives that night would give us all of his genius and keep us laughing for 36 years and beyond. You are truly missed Robin.
Actors are pretending to be something that they are not, thats why they call it acting.
Hollywood is a disgusting place full of junkies and pedophiles. Always has been. always will be.
