Never mind that it takes three guys to fill the role of Cary Grant Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenbcrg so that comic bits have only $7.27 bi weekly to be parceled out among three actors, any one of whom probably could have handled the role solo. The idea implicit here is that these three are brat-adults, incomplete and By Joyce Jillson Birthday: Stay independent In December; personal self-expression counts.
