TOW the two parties

At some moment in this episode, when both Mr. and Mrs. Green are at Monica and Rachel's, Chandler says: "Ok, think, what would Jack and Chrissy do?". I wonder who Jack and Chrissy are, because in Spain we got Chandler saying: "What would Mulder and Scully do?" (In Spanish of course). I think they dubbed Chandler saying that because those J&C are not popular here, but Mulder and Scully are known by everyone here, so any help? Thanks. Azura

Sounds like another reference to the American version of Man About The House ?

Jack and Chrissy are two characters from "Three's Company." It was a silly sitcom from the 1970's in which Jack (played by John Ritter) lives with two women, one of which is the scatter-brained Chrissy played by Susanne Somers. Jack pretended to be gay so that the landlord would allow him to live with two single women. (That was still an issue in the 1970's apparently.)

There was always some sort of misunderstanding that lead to the "humorous situation" for each and every episode. Frankly, I thought the show was way overplayed. The characters would make silly faces when confronted with problems in each episode, and more often than not, it would have something to do with Jack almost being exposed as a straight man, or else Jack or one of his male friends would mistake something one of the girls said to make them think the girl was going to sleep with them. The situations were very contrived.

So, to get back to Chandlers line, apparently he thought that the situation was stretched beyond normal limits, so that it seemed as odd as the unusual situations on "Three's Company." So, only Jack and Chrissy would be able to come up with a way to solve the dilema.

Thanks David. In fact I did know "Three's company", well, I know it existed and that was all, so I didn't know the characters. Here was on many years ago so people may have forgotten about it since it wasn't very popular here. I think it could have been a Mulder and Scully mission too, because of the weird of the situation that didn't seem to be held by any of them. ;-) Azura

That's really interesting. Jack and Chrissy were main characters from "Three's Company," a show about a straight guy who lived with two hot women, but had to pretend to his landlord that he was gay so that he could keep the apartment. (These things make sense in sit-com land I guess.) It was a very funny line in Friends, because in every episode of Three's Company the characters would get themselves into wacky situations based on deceptions, double meanings and misunderstandings.

It reminds me of when I saw "Rain Man" in Madrid, and in the Spanish subtitles instead of "KMart sucks" (the funniest line in the movie) they had put something that made no sense to an American, but must have had more relevance for Spaniards.
