Three's Company is an American sitcom that ran from 1977
to 1984 on ABC. The show was a remake of the British sitcom
Man About the House and revolved around two women and
a man sharing an apartment together. Jack Tripper moved
into the apartment that Chrissy Snow and Janet Wood were
sharing together after they found him sleeping in their
shower after a party. To be allowed to stay in the apartment,
Jack let the landlords, Stanley and Helen Roper (and subsequently,
Ralph Furley), believe he was gay. Three's Company spawned
two spinoffs, The Ropers, revolving around Jack's former
landlords, and Three's a Crowd, the further adventures
of Jack as he settles down. Neither was as popular and
both were swiftly cancelled. (Both were based on George
and Mildred and Robin's Nest, successful spinoffs of Man
About the House, as they actually produced more episodes
than the original).
