...when in the series did The Ropers episode "The Party" (also known as "Stanley, Ladies Man") air in syndication? I know the first ep of The Ropers is shown right after "The Bake-Off" in syndication but I'm curious as to what Three's Company episodes "The Party" aired between, if at all.

I'm sure you all already know this but "The Party" was the Ropers ep where the trio guest-starred.

Thank you!
You're welcome. I had to doublecheck it with some of my old tv guides because it's been so long since I've watched it in syndication. I was right. It aired right before the 1979-80 TC season in syndication. It aired right before Jack on the Lam. Actually Jack Moves Out was aired right before An Anniversary Surprise in syndication. So they did switch the order a little bit.

So I have another question....was "Triangle Troubles" in there at all?

I think "Anniversary Surprise" would have been a much better season finale than Triangle Troubles, anyway....I guess the order was switched around to accommodate The Ropers episodes.

Yea Triangle Troubles aired right before The Party.

So you had:

Jack Moves Out
An Anniversary Surprise
Moving On (The Ropers Pilot)
Triangle Troubles
The Party

Yea since The Ropers premiered in March they needed to air it before TC season was complete. The new non-Ropers episodes of TC aired in May.

Yeah I remember it that way too as I used to record TC on VHS in the 80's and I never knew of The Ropers' spin-off so I just assumed "Moving On" and "The Party" were part of Three's Company the whole time until I ran upon The Ropers show in Spanish in the late 80's in South America.
