Ep 3. A Hundred Dollars a What?

Jack, Janet, and Chrissy are back again and have found themselves in yet another hilarious situation. In Three's Company season 5 episode 3 titled "A Hundred Dollars a What?," the trio discovers the downside of trying to make easy money.

As the episode begins, the trio is talking about ways they can make extra money to pay for rent and bills. Jack has the perfect idea - they can start a business that rents out appliances to people who only need them for a short time. Janet and Chrissy are initially hesitant, but Jack reassures them that it will be easy and profitable.

They quickly set up their business and begin renting out appliances to customers. However, the business soon takes a turn for the worse as they realize that some of their customers aren't paying them back. To make matters worse, Jack has promised a customer that they will rent out a brand-new television set. The only problem is that they don't have one.

Desperate to fulfill their promise, Jack makes a deal with a sleazy salesman to get a television set for a hundred dollars, which really should cost much more. The trio is thrilled with this new business opportunity and begins advertising their rental services.

Their clients include a group of hippies, a burly football player, and an elderly woman with a flamethrower. As the day progresses, Jack, Janet, and Chrissy receive many phone calls from their clients, all of whom are having problems with the rented appliances. Each situation becomes increasingly comical as they struggle to repair or replace the broken equipment.

Meanwhile, the trio is still worried about the hundred-dollar television set they owe their client. As the salesman arrives to collect his money, Jack discovers that he has been taken for a ride. The television set he bought is worthless, and now he's left with more problems than ever.

In the final scenes of the episode, the trio decides that their rental business isn't worth the hassle. They agree that it's better to just stick with their regular jobs and pay their bills the old-fashioned way.

Overall, this episode of Three's Company is full of laughter and a great reminder that starting a business isn't always as easy as it seems. The situations are comical, and the dialogue is fast-paced and witty. Fans of the show won't want to miss this classic episode that perfectly captures the quirky humor and loveable characters that made Three's Company a hit.
