I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
It was pretty fine if really cliched. It gets bonus points in retrospect by the characters actually caring for each other and tim being mainly just an idiot instead of an idiotic rear end in a top hat like everyone in the loving awful raymond show.

Does anyone else think a threes company remake for millenials would be appropriate? We're all apartment dwellers nowadays anyways.

I think these days, pretending to be gay (instead of just actually being gay) would probably get you lynched, regardless of whether you were doing it to be funny or not.

Is that really the most problematic part of the show? I remember it being pretty open for its time.

I'm actually surprised at how a modern show like modern family is going to seem more timeless in the future, I can't really think of any fallings on pop culture references in the show

Season 1 has an episode where Phil makes a huge deal about getting a gen 1 iPad on release day.

Which dates it, but not really because there’s always gonna be that guy

What's really gonna date it is the adoption of an asian baby instead of whatever the next trendy ethnicity for white couples to save will be.

I feel the OP hasn't addressed the fact that this show was hot garbage compared to Married... With Children. Which really is the greatest sitcom made, unlike home improvement.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

The best thing I can say about this show, other than how Tim Allen's comedic timing is the only thing that saves some of the jokes, is that it actually had a really good boardgame to go along with it. I was never huge into the show as a kid, though I watched it, and got the game one year and was immediately disappointed, thinking 'oh god, I don't like the show THAT much'. However, after actually playing it, it's drat fun. Sure, it's licensed as hell and is filled with way too many references, but the actual idea is solid. So solid, that I was always amazed that such a good game could come from a show like that.

Then I learned of Handyman, which is the generic game that the HI boardgame is based on.

It should be re-released (the original, not the HI-licensed version), because it's really loving fun.

A friend of mine had this game and we played it a few times, it's pretty fun actually and for some reason Wilson turns into a massive dick and uses every chance to gently caress you over

Not the original Three's Company; I'm just saying if you tried to remake it today using the same premise as the original, SJWs would pour out of the woodwork to crucify you for daring to "appropriate" gay culture.

Why would you need to claim to be gay? We've learned that you can just not gently caress. If anything the show would be too boring.

tim allen could have gotten life for his coke enterprise under michigan law, but he pled under the federal law and only did a little time. or maybe it was the other way around.

his real last name is Dick.

do the math.
