Welcome to Saturday 9. 

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

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? I did  like it very much..  

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?Sesame Street was a little out of my time...  I was a Captain Kangaroo kid  and I was working during  SS.

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 you rang)? I suppose it was my friend  Dottie's door.  Wow,  that was over a month ago.. I need to get out and about  visiting more!

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. Most recently  I was my sister in law  who lived with me for about a month..  way back in 1973.. I had returned from  Germany and  was beginning my  teaching career...  But Hubs wouldn't be home  from  his stint in the army  for  about  month later and I  was  a bit  intimidated living  alone in the apartment so Cynthia moved in with me...  It was good for both of us!  Before that  I had  roommates in college...Cynthia went to community college and never experienced a roommate.

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? I bought a bouquet at  the grocery store  floral department..

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?  I had a glass of wine  at Montanos

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? Mr. Roper sounds  a lot like Hubs so I dont have to be!

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?  No.

9) Random question -- Is the screen on your cellphone cracked?  No. I have a protective cover over it and a good case.  Odd question!
