Nice to hear that she is doing well. I had forgotten about that show.

I've recently been watching Mary on Pyramid. She was a fabulous player who seemed genuinely overjoyed when she helped a contestant win serious money back in the day.

Three's a Crowd was actually considered for a second season - it held in the middle of the rankings. However, ABC only wanted 13 episodes as a trial. John Ritter would only commit to doing the show if it was for an entire season. Hence, ABC dropped Three's a Crowd and replaced it with the NBC-1985-cancelled DIff'rent Strokes. It was that show's final season with only 19 episodes.

Wow! How did the algorithm know I had a thing for Mary Cadorette? I was in high school back when 3's A Crowd was on the air. What happy, hopeful times those were.

[linapagliari]

I loved her character on threes a crowd beautiful actress Mary🙏🏻🌺🇨🇦ty for sharing Dave

When the Hartford Courant did an interview with Mary over a decade ago, she mostly talked about her dancing & dance school. She talked about her Hollywood career as a flash in the pan, and never mentioned THREE'S COMPANY nor THREE'S A CROWD. I also knew one of her nephews at one point.

[richarddenny]

her character on Three's Company was one of honesty and virtue which seems to be a reflection of her real life self

[GerarddeSouza-ytfc]

The British inspiration for Three's Company, Man About The House had a spin-off too; Robin's Nest. Robin, Jack's counterpart, gets married and opens a restaurant.
Yes, I would have to agree having Jack marry Janet would have had more people tuning in and saved a lot of introduction of a new character.

Ramblin Root Beer- ah yes, I remember those commercials well! I think every state had their own version of the jingle! The rock band singing along to the “Somethin’’ more” always cracked me up! Though I wasn’t into the Sugar Free Ramblin’, Mary had a charming smile! Glad she came home to her mother. Connecticut is beautiful during the fall!
Thanks for sharing, Dave!

Thank You for the Video (and the memories) 😀

[glasgowfranko]

Mary played the phenomenally funny Dee Dee Nelson on The Munsters Today 1987-1991 with John Schuck, Lee Meriwether, Howard Morton and Hilary Van Dyke. I loved her character on that show! So funny alongside her co-star Greg Mullavey.

[garybradley]

Thanks for this! I did wonder whatever happened to her. Three's Company was (is) one of my favorite shows, and I liked Three's A Crowd, too.

I remember back then when they made the switch using both titles. I just wish more Three's Company characters had guest-starred on the spinoff. I can't recall if anyone besides Larry did though. Great video!

[robertcurry]

In that old Ramblin' Root Beer commercial....
if you blinked, you never saw Mary in the commercial; because she didn't appear until the last 5 or 10 seconds left in the commercial.

That old commercial was a long, long time do not even remember it, I am guessing it was on TV back in the mid or late 70s, way before 1984 when "Three's a Crowd" premiered and ended.

[David-ywlv]

She was a good actress.After Three's a Crowd, she had a recurring role on Night Court.

[tzzlite]

I bet there are a LOT of actors like this who are happier after they LEFT Hollywood!
