LAST WEEK'S MYSTERY BAND: Well, a sadly dismal showing from everyone. Tsk, tsk. Perhaps you thought that the fellows pictured were not, in fact, a band? Oh, but they were. And are. And have been for the past 30 years. Yes, it's Larry, Dana, and Dennis, better known on the wedding and private party circuit in South Florida as THREE'S COMPANY.

Which was our little way to pay tribute to the late John Ritter, taken too soon...before his latest sitcom had enough episodes in the can for a big syndication payday. But, hey—the producer's say they're gonna keep right on with the show! Yaay! So we can all look forward to watching the surviving characters "deal" with tragedy and loss while still...what? Not dating his daughter? Will they change the title of the show: One Simple Reason for Carrying On—Greed.

Oh, but I'm just a cynical bastard. Condolences to the Ritter family; never watched any of his shows, but he seemed like a nice fellow.

And Three's Company seem like nice fellows, too. Look at Dennis, working those electronical drums! Very up-to-date—well, 20 years ago. OK, I'm getting cynical again. Are there any good sitcoms I can watch to lighten the mood? Oh, right...
