I know the Reagle Beagle was a hangout on three's company but the trio didn't have to be in there when the Ropers stopped in for a drink. They could have even taken their new neighbors and sit in the booth. I know the beagle wouldn't have been considered far because the Trio went to visit the Ropers.

Well...think about it. The Ropers never went to the Regal Beagle THAT much, and since they're even farther away....they probably went even more sparingly.

:) the trio rode their bikes or took a cab didn't they? they didn't even own a car! yet Stanley owned a jalopy and i'm sure deep down he knew that he didn't want to make any trips too far. also, i can't picture Jeffrey Brooks sitting at a table with the Ropers! Jeffrey was too good for that. it would've been nice if the Ropers and the Brooks' recreated their roles for "Three's A Crowd" and have The Ropers, Jeffrey and Ann Brooks, and Vicki's parents all in the same scene! who would've been the more pompous? James Bradford or Jeffrey Brooks?
