I mean when he first moved in with the girls he had no job but over time once he started making money why not look into a one bedroom apartment like the one Larry had so he could move away from the girls?

Especially when he got his own restaurant, made no sense

HE WASN"T SLEEPING WITH EITHER OF THEM which means it was only to share the rent

I KNOW that. The Above Post was a JOKE. I was a regular viewer of the series. I am absolutely sure that SO members who are very familar with the series smiled and got the joke intended by the photo composition. (I created it.....it was never anywhere online.)

sure, but it was probably easier to meet more NEW women through Janet and Chrissy, and the bottom line is that even after opening the restaurant he probably wanted to save money (more to spend on dates - he didn't even own a CAR) and why move out when he got along with his roommates so well?

He did move out. It was called Three's A Crowd and nobody liked it.

I guess I'd better start prefacing most of my posts with "Just Joking, Folks!"

Jack didn't move out because it would have changed the whole concept of what Three's Company was about.

The characters didn't grow & evolve, and that's what I believe led to TC ending not as a popular show anymore. For those who follow ratings, would know that TC's drastically dropped in popularity in its final year.

Also when Jack opened his restaurant, Chrissy was no longer is roomate like you guys have pictured.

It didn't make sense for him to constantly hide his girlfriends from Janet and Terri/Chrissy once he had his own place.

But Larry made out well in his one bedroom apt, he could have gotten one and been a swinging bachelor like Larry LOL

I got the joke and it was great! John Ritter or Jack Tripper would've loved it!

The OP is asking an incredibly stupid question! If Jack moves out it KILLS the show! Plus he's living with 2 hot chicks so why ruin that?

Exactly what I said!

Three's company was the first show that had a guy lives with girls and were friends. So it was a revolutionary show. The show wouldn't have done well with Jack living by himself. Cleverfun3000 that was a good picture of the trio.

The question is not supposed to be taken seriously, it's called "episode chat"

Thank you. I KNEW that there would be SO members that found my joke to be hilarious. It's kinda like his answer to their question is a reason why he would NEVER want to move out!

I got the joke. :) Thanks. But now to be serious (or as serious as one can be about a sitcom), what doesn't make sense to me, besides Jack having more money, is why they would spend all those years going through that "Jack is gay" charade. If they had to live in the same apartment, go live somewhere where the landlords don't give a rip about a man living with two women. What was so friggin' special about that particular apartment? Yes, I know this is the whole premise of the show, but the issue is whether it's a solid and realistic premise. Would such a scenario happen in real life for all those years?

Also it was never explained how Jack ended up in Santa Monica from San Diego and why was he living at the YMCA. Basically why was he homeless

He was probably hoping for more job opportunities in a larger city. And more opportunities to party. :)

Jack went to Santa Monica and lived at the YMCA to go to cooking school . When I went to my university, I knew a few people who slept on their friend's couch, or rented a sleeping room while they went to school . It was one of the sacrifices they made for their education, so that part wasn't too far -- fetched . It was probably also for the job opportunities and the chance to party like the other poster said .

In real life, Jack and the girls might have moved to an apartment building where the landlord didn't care what his tenants did as long as hey paid the rent . We all know if they did that on Three's Company, it would have ruined the show .

When I watched Three's Company, I lived with my parents . At one point, my mom read that the upcoming season was going to feature Jack graduating cooking school, moving out of the aprtment he shared with the girls, and only making eight appearances for the entire season . My dad knew that would kill the entire show . Fortunately, none of that happened . It must have been false information .

The episode you are referring to was probably a promo to get people to watch the season finale of season 4 when Jack was graduating cooking school but decided to move out in the beginning of the episode because he failed his final cooking exam.
