Stump the King - Three's Company

Great comment, Jack!

I have to admit: When I first read the post, I wondered who dresses Paul.

A quick search of the interweb turned up the following info:

The swinging bar that Jack and company often frequented was a second home to them. There, they could relax and always have a few laughs. We got to know a few dedicated bartenders over the years. Jim, played by Paul Ainsley, took the first shift during seasons one through five. He later went on to guest-star in Wings and Babylon 5. Brad Blaisdell, acting as bartender Mike, tops-off seasons six through eight.
A guest bartender, Bob, played by Brad Maule, (Tony Jones on General Hospital) catches Janet's eye in the episode, "Dates of Wrath." Janet is hopeful the new bartender will ask her out so she has Terri accompany her to the Regal Beagle. Only, Bob ends up asking Terri out instead and Janet becomes upset. Jack tries to calm the situation and while he is distracted, his date leaves him and takes off with Bob.

Not quite the complete info that was requested, but any normal functioning person should be satisfied with those trivia tidbits...

Interesting. You consider yourself a trivia nerd, and the other guy a total freak. I'm imagining a line of monkeys, each smaller than the other. The tallest monkey is pointing to the next tallest, etc. to infinity. You point at the total freak, I point at you, I suppose people who don't read blogs about television point at me, and people who don't own televisions point at them.

Is the writer asking what was going on in the Regal Beagle the day the bar opened? If it was already open when "Three's Company" began, there would be no way to know that, would there?

Or is he asking what was going on in the Regal Beagle during the pilot episode of "Three's Company"? Again, that would be difficult to say, since there were three different pilots (all featuring variations on the cast, other than John Ritter). They sometimes show all three together on TV Land, so I guess the writer could watch them all to find out.

Christm- DAMNIT! Beat by a girl!

Christmas.
