The plot of the episode "Sex, Lies and House Hunting" has more than enough to keep us glued to the lives of the Conner clan. In the episode, as Darlene goes through the headaches of house hunting, Becky continues her relationship with her professor. As Becky and her professor exit a car before being recognized by other students, the two are next to a restaurant called "Jack's Bistro." Some fans on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheConners/comments/t02qxw/jacks_bistro_in_the_connersa_nod_to_threes_company/) couldn't help but think that perhaps the eatery is a nod to Jack Tripper from "Three's Company" and his actor, the late John Ritter (https://www.looper.com/135230/the-untold-truth-of-john-ritter/). "I was wondering if I was the only one that got that, I immediately thought of Jack Tripper ..." u/ZealousidealLog3575 (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheConners/comments/t02qxw/comment/hyz4spj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) posted.

In the last two seasons of "Three's Company" and for much of its spin-off, "Three's A Crowd," Jack owned a restaurant called Jack's Bistro (via Three's Company Fandom (https://threescompany.fandom.com/wiki/Jack%27s_Bistro)). The entire incident in "The Conners" may be coincidental, as there's never been a direct connection established between "The Conners" and "Three's Company." However, considering both shows are ABC sitcoms, it is not totally unreasonable to think the familiar-sounding restaurant sign was intentional.

I agree that I think it was intentional and a nod to John. Unless the writers are generation Z and never heard of Threes Company

I'd say it was a nod as well. Cool.
