Retroality's "Reimagine That!" podcast, episode 5! ............................................................ Chris Mann's special guest, "Three's Company" star Richard "Larry" Kline, on John Ritter, James Franco ... and his & Chris's exclusive takes on this week's historic Joyce DeWitt/Suzanne Somers reunion

Episode 5: "The Impossible Dream"

On the eve of pop culture's historic Joyce DeWitt-Suzanne Somers peace summit, er, YouTube reunion following their legendary 31-year estrangement, "Three's Company" co-star Richard Kline -- TV's lovably libidinous Larry Dallas -- breaks his silence about their reconciliation and offers his insights into Suzanne's contentiou$ 1981 exit from their hit 1977-84 sitcom. The accomplished stage and screen actor/director/acting coach also reveals how he's coped with the loss of his dear friend,"Company" star John Ritter, who tragically passed away in 2003. As the breakthrough sitcom reaches its 35th anniversary this spring, Kline reveals his previous plans for a stage version of the wacky roommate farce and describes his experience as James Franco's special guest last year during the Oscar-nominated actor's bizzare Sundance presentation "Three's Company: The Drama." Finally, find out the hysterical comment Richard made to aPerezHilton.com story quoting Suzanne as saying that "everybody's gone from that show."

Also, host and "Three's Company" tell-all author Chris Mann offers an exclusive, in-depth historical analysis of Suzanne and Joyce's separation -- including Joyce's repeated efforts to reconcile in the last 15 years -- as well as failed attempts at/missed opportunities for "Three's Company" reunions from the mid-'90s onward. You won't get this detailed backstory anywhere else, folks!

Finally, our resident dream weaver Yvonne Ryba shares fascinating insights about inspirational dreams.

Suzanne Somers on renaissance man James Franco's "Three's Company" revival, adopting (?) Chrissy Snow's "moral code"

Suzanne Somers, like co-star Joyce DeWitt, says she was invited to see James Franco's Three's Company Sundance project in January, but declined due to a scheduling conflict. Too bad. Imagine the photo op of her posing with Franco and his Chrissy Snow wig at the after party. (Surely she could've squeezed a Thigh/Butt/Facemaster in the shot, too.)

Also in this recent clip from Access Hollywood Live!, Somers talks about the transformation she underwent when becoming Chrissy, including a "change" (or not, as she corrects herself) in her "moral code." Interesting ...

Here's Richard Kline with Franco Snow ... Suzanne, is your Somershave hair removal system on the market yet?
