Saturday 9: Come and Knock on Our Door

Sam’s Saturday 9: Come and Knock on Our Door (1976)

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…



Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song was the theme to Three's Company, a sitcom that ran for eight seasons. Were you a fan?
Nope, I watched it a couple of times but I never got into the show.

2) The Three's Company theme was composed by Joe Raposo, who also wrote the theme to Sesame Street. Can you recall any of the lyrics to the Sesame Street song?
Nope, the show came out when I was in my twenties.

3) The lyrics to this song invite you to "come and knock on our door." What's the last door you knocked on (or the most recent doorbell your rang)?
Wow, I can’t remember.

4) Three's Company was about three roommates who live together platonically, sharing a two bedroom apartment. Tell us about a roommate who shared your living quarters.
Um… I never had one.

5) Each of the roommates has a profession: Jack is a cook, Chrissy is a secretary (aka administrative assistant) and Janet is a florist. When did you last buy flowers?
Potted plants count? Yesterday, I brought some plants for the window flower box for the cottage.

6) They often meet their neighbor, Larry, at a nearby bar called The Regal Beagle. What's the name of the establishment where you most recently enjoyed an adult beverage?
The Aqua Bar in Provincetown.

7) Their meddling landlord was Mr. Roper. He was cheap, nosy, and very talented at fixing things around the building. How much are you like Mr. Roper? Are you frugal? Nosy? A handy do-it-yourselfer?
I’m all thumbs, I can do simple repairs but anything complicated I’ll bring in the pro’s. I consider myself to be frugal.

8) Three's Company was controversial again, more than 15 years after it ceased production. In March 2001, Nick at Nite re-edited an episode after a viewer called, alerting the network that a bit too much of John Ritter was visible in his blue boxer shorts. Have you ever called, emailed or written to, a TV station to complain?
Nope. I have emailed and called my legislators, and wrote "letters-to-the-editor" but I never have complained to a media outlet.

9) Random question -- Is the screen on your cellphone cracked?
Nope. I only had it for a year,



Update…
I am on an audio book kick and the latest book that I am listing to is a book by Mildred A. Wirt Benson titled “Behind the Green Door” Ms. Benson is the author of Nancy Drew series.

The audio books are free on Librivox

  1. I've never had a roommate either! I thought I was going to be the only one.

  2. I think window box plants count. I forgot about them though, as they really were the last ones I bought for mine!
