The official Three's Company website ThreesCompany.com wants to know what your top seven episodes of Three's Company are! They are not telling us why yet, because it is a surprise. Could it mean that they are working on a best-of DVD set? Or maybe seven episodes will appear on TV Land's new online video player? We shall find out in the near future! But for now please do vote for your top seven episodes from the show by clicking HERE. Will "Up in the Air," "Strange Bedfellows," "Jack's Tattoo," or "A Camping We Will Go" make the cut? Only you can decide that!
Speaking of Three's Company, today is the first day of September and that means the Three's Company classic clips and bloopers have launched on TV Land.com's new video player! They have added four clips that run up to three minutes each from four classic episodes ("A Man About the House," "The Harder They Fall," "The Bake-Off" & "Jack Moves Out") and hilarious season eight bloopers that will be a preview of what is to come on the upcoming season 8 DVD coming October 3 from Anchor Bay/DLT. They will add more clips and bloopers each week this month through Sept. 30, so make sure you watch them each week! For a direct link to the exclusive bloopers, click here. and don't forget the Three's Company Weekend on TV Land Sept. 16-17 that will feature 48-hours worth of Three's Company episodes, plus the two unaired pilots making their TV debuts, along with six episodes each from spin-offs The Ropers & Three's a Crowd. This is not something you want to miss! for more details, check out my website on the show.

I have mentioned on the message boards that the original Star Trek is coming back to weekly play on local syndication this fall. Yesterday Paramount officially announced that. Star Trek will replace Star Trek: Enterprise on your local station starting this fall. This is to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the show. CBS Paramount Domestic Television is releasing digitally remastered episodes, with all new special effects and music, to celebrate the groundbreaking series' 40th anniversary. The new episodes also mark the first time in 16 years that the original Star Trek series can be seen in broadcast syndication. The episodes will begin airing on the more than 200 stations that own the rights to the weekend broadcast syndication window starting Sept. 16 (check local listings for station and dates). All 79 episodes of the original Star Trek series will eventually be remastered, with the first batch of episodes chosen from a list of Star Trek fans' favorite shows. The most noticeable change will be redoing many of the special effects, created with 1960s technology, with 21st century computer-generated imagery (CGI). That includes: Space ship exteriors, Show opening, Galaxy shots, Exteriors, and Background scenes. If you're in the New York City market, WNBC will air the show on Sunday nights at 3:35am starting Sept. 17. And don't forget Trek will have 40th anniversary celebration on TV Land on Sept. 8, then it will join the network's line-up starting in November.
