3's a Crowd Theme

We may hate the game show (Peck's version anyway's as Alan Thicke's version was a-okay) and probably even the John Ritter sitcom too, but if you're like me, you probably love the theme song to the original game show version of 3's a Crowd. And here it is!

[@KiddBloo86]

I wonder how many couples from 3's a Crowd later popped up on Divorce Court, which Jim Peck narrated.

Thank you so much for posting this gem. I loved all of Chuck Barris' shows and this theme is a MONSTER!!

[@gfalcon]

I love this theme and I use it to taunt my senior cat. I put this music on while I repeatedly poke her to the beat of the music. It's fun to see how long it takes before she gets pissed off and begins to scratch and bite me

If this show were to be revived, I'd recommend this:
"From Hollywood, it's 3's a Crowd! Yes, it's 3's a Crowd, the game that determines who knows the bachelor best: His girlfriend or his sister. And now, here are today's bachelors: (insert all three bachelors' names here). And now, here's your host, Joel McHale!"
The team who scores the highest, the girlfriends or the sisters, splits a cash prize of $15,000. Both teams split it if tied. And to make it more interesting for the bachelors, the one whose girlfriend and sister make the most matches wins $15,000 of his own. Tied bachelors split the dough.

Interesting, but I'd have it be their spouse or their ex.

Far less romantic relationships will be severed if they go with girlfriends and sisters.

[@LogoMan7777]

@@GamingDelight Ah, but that makes it safer. Severed relationships make for good TV. Besides, I reckon with the original, these men should've known what they were in for.

Real-life severed relationships should not be meant for TV, especially if one party gets the wrong idea. I prefer the safe way out. Severed relationships are meant for fiction.

This show needs to be reaired on Canada's GameTV and other channels. However, it should be in high quality

the 1970’s Jerry Springer Show

[@drummingdanny84]

Or Richard Bey.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Ya know something? I felt bad for Jim Peck hosting this show, I'll betcha that Jim Lange of The Dating Game and Bob Eubanks of the Newlywed Game and even Geoff Edwards or Treasure Hunt were probably sayin' glad we didn't host this dreck of a Game Show lol

T-Bone Hubbard no kidding I think it pretty much ruined his career, either that or hot seat.

[@toddwacha5108]

@@marcpower4167 The Big Showdown was Jim Peck's best show. He seemed ill at ease when he did You Don't Say! (the revival in 1978-79); he got that job because YDS!'s original and best host Tom Kennedy was busy doing The $100,000 Name That Tune.

[@marcpower4167]

@@toddwacha5108 I thought Jim did alright with YDS, but he was a bit out of his element doing a celeb. based show. I don't think he did another one besides the caught in the act pilot from 1975.

[@LogoMan7777]

@@marcpower4167 Not necessarily. If this show ruined his career, how'd he end up guest hosting on The Joker's Wild? How did he almost become the host (were it not for Jack Barry's sudden death)?

[@KrakenMan5853]

​@@LogoMan7777I think you can thank Ronnie Greenberg, who was Big Showdown and Joker's Wild's Executive Producer for convincing Jack Barry to hire him.

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

wasn't this the show where a secretary said that every time her boss went to San Francisco she got a report on the hookers?

[@jnadle1]

I wonder if Milton DeLugg composed this theme.

[@Rlotpir1972]

I think Score Productions.

[@toddwacha5108]

@@Rlotpir1972 I'm sure that it was Milton DeLugg. Score Productions did mainly Goodson-Todman shows.

[@KrakenMan5853]

I think it would be Chuck Barris, since he wrote the music for most of his game shows. However, I would also say Milton DeLugg and his band with a thug performed it.

[@YankeePat94]

The most awkward show in television 📺

[@KiddBloo86]

The original Maury/Springer.

[@fortynights1513]

The show sucked but the theme is not too bad

[@toddwacha5108]

One of the worst game shows to ever be on television, along with Temptation: The New Sale Of the Century, Tic Tac Dough 1990, Match Game 1998, Break The Bank 1985, Slime Time, How Much Is Enough?, among others.

[@cutemimi25]

The 90's-2000 version with Alan Thicke was way better.

[@ABCEasyas--]

Don’t forget The Chamber

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

@@ABCEasyas-- ur just saying that because u wouldn't have lasted 1 minute in there! I LOVED the chamber!

[@KiddBloo86]

This show is on its own level of bad, but still so good.

[@fortynights1513]

How Much is Enough isn’t quite that caliber of bad from what I remember
