Blond Chrissy ask for too much money with this show and they dropped her instead. I think.
When Suzanne Somers' contract came up for renegotiation in between seasons 4 and 5, she noticed that although Chrissy was bringing more and more eyeballs to the series every season, Ritter was making more than she was — a lot more.

Suzanne Somers says she was fired for asking for equal pay ABC Somers requested what would have been, admittedly, one whopping raise — from $30,000 per episode to $150,000. However, she had a pretty good reason for asking for that specific amount: it was what Ritter was making, and she was well aware that the male stars of some other shows (like Alan Alda of M*A*S*H* and Carroll O'Connor of All in the Family) were pulling down that kind of cash, even though their shows weren't as highly rated as Three's Company
