This is the britcom that gave don taffner and ted bergman the idea for 3s company, this britcom aired back in the early 70s and was a great hit over in england, I am ordering it on dvd to see how much it is like 3s company or visa versa, I have read at britcoms online about the show and alota the 3s company episode titles are the same as man about the house. and the shows theme is the same 1 man 1 blonde girl and one brunette plus the ropers in this show are called george which was mr ropers first name in the 1st pilot, (Norman fell)
