Three's Company

Three's Company is an American television sitcom that aired for eight seasons on ABC from March 15, 1977, to September 18, 1984. Developed by Don Nicholl, Michael Ross and Bernie West, it is based on the British sitcom Man About the House created by Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer.

The story revolves around three single roommates: Jack Tripper, Janet Wood, and Chrissy Snow, who all platonically live together in a Santa Monica, California apartment complex owned by Stanley and Helen Roper. The show, a farce, chronicles the escapades and hi jinks of the trio's constant misunderstandings, social lives, and financial struggles. A top 10 hit from 1977 to 1983, the series has remained popular in syndication and through DVD releases. The show also spawned similar spin-offs to those that Man About the House had: The Ropers and Three's a Crowd, based upon George and Mildred and Robin's Nest, respectively.

When Jack proposes to Vicky, she turns him down cold. The reason is that she's afraid of marriage because it might fail like her father's did. They decide to live together. The trio finally moves out of their apartment and into their new lives: Terri is going to Hawaii to work with poor children, Janet and Philip move into their new place, and Jack moves into the apartment above the restaurant with Vicky. As they begin their new life together, Mr. Bradford comes in and tells him that he is the new landlord! With that, the spin-off series Three's a Crowd begins.
