Was tickled to read that former roommates Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers had recently reunited after 30 years of estrangement. Hardcore "Three's Company" fans will remember that Janet and Chrissy had a major falling out over Somers' contract dispute during Season 5 of the smash sitcom -- well, if I remember correctly, pretty much all of Hollywood had a falling out with Somers over that -- but while the rest of the industry eventually let bygones be bygones, DeWitt would not. (How bitter was the former Undie L'Eggs spokesmodel? Not even the death of John Ritter could melt the ice.) What's unfortunate about this long-overdue reunion, however, is that they waited so long that it's going to take place on the Internet -- Feb. 2 on Suzanne's new Web series, "Breaking Through," on CafeMom.com -- rather than on Oprah or some other prime-time venue, where it most certainly would have been held back when the legendary feud was being written about in books and made into TV movies. Whatever the case, though, I will be there. The show was never the same after Somers left -- and because of the drama, there was only one season that featured the ultimate cast of Somers and Mr. Furley, who ran circles around the Ropers. Even after all these years, I'm still dying to see if DeWitt will finally admit that Somers was right all along (Suzanne claims her money grab was on behalf of the entire cast) or if Suzanne will finally admit that she rewrote history to make herself out to be what Lisa Kudrow later became known as among the cast of 'Friends.'" Come out of retirement, Oprah -- we need you!!!!
