It was really a show for the kids who loved 3's Company but didn't fully get the sexual spin. When I was in 3rd grade, you were the coolest ifyou watched The Ropers.:crazy: TVFactFan 11-14-2002, 09:06 PM Originally posted by violetcobra They just didn't get it.

Take Care Aaron Sean Snow 12-05-2002, 10:33 PM I just got 8 episodes in the mail (well more like 7 1/2 since part of the last one is cut off erm) and from the bits and pieces I've seen (haven't been able to sit down to watch it) it seems good. I like the opening credits. *shrug* Especially the one for the two main stars.

If so I would be willing to purchase a copy. Let me know.

Let me know. No, I don't have that episode. I've watched all 8 episodes and IMO it wasn't that bad. It wasn't in the same league as TC, but it wasn't one of the worst shows. Mykoon 12-15-2002, 01:48 PM Never watched that show! :( It aired some years ago in germany, but I had no idea that it was "The Ropers"! But I can't believe that the show was that bad, like the TV Guide reports! The Ropers were such a great couple on "Three's Company"... I am sure that they were great on their own show too! Perhaps even better, cause they were the stars of it! :p BundyBoy10 07-10-2003, 10:21 AM I think of dozens of shows worse than this show.:o SetacOne@aol.com 08-21-2003, 06:43 PM Originally posted by Sean Snow I just got 8 episodes in the mail (well more like 7 1/2 since part of the last one is cut off erm) and from the bits and pieces I've seen (haven't been able to sit down to watch it) it seems good.

I have 10 episodes of the Ropers, if interested email me at solomond@webtv.net for a trade tbell 09-19-2003, 12:23 AM This series was very good. 1st season they were ranked 8th and then they moved there time slot too Sunday against the a top 5 rated show in Chips. The ratings lowered to 25th but how can a Top 30 sitcom be cancelled?

I never knew the season 2 ratings only season one when they finished tied with All in the Family at number 7 tbell 09-19-2003, 11:30 AM Yeah 1st season there time slot was right after TC and they finished 7th but then they moved it to Sunday and they still ranked 25th. Its a shame that the 25th rated show got canceled.

Its a shame that the 25th rated show got canceled. The Ropers timeslot was not directly after Three's Company in season one, Three's Company aired at 9pm and the Ropers aired at 10pm on Tuesday Sean Snow 09-19-2003, 06:14 PM Even though Chris Mann's book about TC states that The Ropers was #25, this is not so...at least it doesn't appear to be so from the ratings I've seen. These were the top 30 ratings for the 1979-1980 season: #01: "60 Minutes" (CBS) #02: "Three's Company" (ABC) #03: "That's Incredible!" (ABC) #04: "Alice" (CBS #05: "M*A*S*H" (CBS) #06: "Dallas" (CBS) #07: "Flo" (CBS) #08: "The Jeffersons" (CBS) #09: "The Dukes of Hazzard" (CBS) #10: "One Day at a Time" (CBS) #11: "Archie Bunker's Place" (CBS) #12: "Eight is Enough" (ABC) #13: "Taxi" (ABC) #14: "House Calls" (CBS) #15: "Real People" (NBC) #16: "Little House on the Prairie" (NBC) #17: "Happy Days" (ABC) #18: "CHiPs" (NBC) #19: "Trapper John, M.D." (CBS) #20: "Charlie's Angels" (ABC) #21: "Barney Miller" (ABC) #22: "WKRP in Cincinnati" (CBS) #23: "Benson" (ABC) #24: "The Love Boat" (ABC) #25: "Soap" (ABC) #26: "Diff'rent Strokes" (NBC) #27: "Mork & Mindy" (ABC) #28: "Fantasy Island" (ABC) #29: "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe" (ABC) #30: "ABC Sunday Night Movie" (ABC) #31: "Vega$" (ABC) #32: "Knots Landing" (CBS) Source: http://www.chez.com/fbibler/tvstats/by_5_yr_period/top_programs_1975-1980.html |
