'Three's Company' Joyce DeWitt Cited For DUI

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — An actress who starred on the hit television series "Three's Company" has been arrested in Southern California and cited for drunken driving. Police say Joyce DeWitt, who played the character Janet Wood on the popular show, was pulled over Saturday afternoon after she drove past a barricade near a park in El Segundo.

Sgt. Danny Kim says an officer arrested the 60-year-old DeWitt after he observed signs she had been drinking and gave her field sobriety tests.

Kim says DeWitt was booked at the Police Department, cited and released on her own recognizance.

A telephone listing for DeWitt was not immediately available.

Is she planning a career comeback and needed some immediate exposure?

[KinkyGirl]

Not likely. Plain irresponsible.

[Mattie]

you're correct, it is irresponsible, but that picture will haunt her forever. I feel a little bad for her, I know I shouldn't she did a bad thing, but thesympathy is there regardless.

Research tells us that using a cell phone while driving is as dangerous as drinking and driving. When will we demonize those drivers. I see distracted cell phone drivers all the time... drunk drivers rarely.

I hold that limelight-hogging tramp Suzanne Summers morally AND legally responsible for this. It caint have been easy...

Suzanne Sommers grabbed the spotlight because America goes gaga over any skinny blonde that comes across the screen half naked.

If you're planning on a night out and drinking is involved, why not book a cab?

Just a hunch, but I am thinking this wasn't a "planned night out" but more of a "business as usual".

IF you are alcoholic the delusion is that YOU HAVE YOUR DRINKING UNDER CONTROL

She is one of the best physical comedians TV has known, and women could learn from her. She still looks so young, and I always admired her in "Three's Company" for holding the show together. I was lucky to see the show filmed live once. It was a real treat to see live television, three cameras and scenes almost the way you see the TV show without commercials. They worked hard. My firsat director was on TV when he was a teenager. This was the last of its kind I think. Good luck Joyce.
Stay strong.

Yes, but you have to know how to handle your drinking. I drink, but when I do, I never drive. Period.

[Ricket]

Well goody gum drops for you. I bet you've never done anything wrong in your life, you sanctimonious so-and-so.

[CaveatLector]

Uh huh. How old are you "KINKYGirl?" I'm guessing no more than 30.

When you drink, the part of your brain that has decided to "never drive. Period." has been compromised. You cannot trust it to make the same decisions it did when it was sober.

I'm with you, KinkyGirl.­..I have a feeling none of these posters ever lost a loved one because some selfish jerk just HAD to pour liquor into their guts and get behind the wheel.

I wish her well too. But her character was annoying, I thought, in Three's Company.

What???

Say it ain't so Janet.
