Not long after the release of Three’s Company Season One I saw at the Three’s Company website that Season Two would be released on DVD in May 2004. I was so excited and couldn’t wait for it to come out. When my husband asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day I immediately told him that I wanted the Three’s Company Season Two DVD. I am a huge John Ritter fan and have been collecting things that he has been in. I love watching the old Three’s Company shows and have had such a fun time seeing all of these episodes.
