Plot: 'Three's Company', the comedy centered on two attractive, young women who made the rent on their Santa Monica beach-side apartment by taking in a third roommate - a male forced to pretend he's gay to fool the landlords and the girls' parents. The series rocketed in the ratings as an instant hit - despite the outcry of critics and moralists - who objected to the double-entendres and quasi-sexual hijinks on the show. However, the true behind-the-scenes story of 'Three's Company' will expose a once idyllic workplace that deteriorated into a battleground beset by business dealings, contact disputes, cast rivalries, clashes between producers and network executives and finally, a round of cast replacements which hastened the demise of the show.

He was really a fun interview. He stayed so we could shoot the "re-ask" ...which are my questions. Usually you shoot the subject and when he leaves videotape the "re-ask", then edit it together. He said, "hey, I'll stay for that...I know how those one-camera shoots are". Really good guy. This is part 1 of 2 parts.
Actor Norman Fell was really a fun interview and I'm glad I had the opportunity to chat with him. This is Part 2 of 2.
