Was Three's a Crowd better than the Ropers?

The Ropers had one of the worst theme songs ever (IMO) and I just didn't think the characters were very funny. I thought Mr. and Mrs. Roper were hilarious on TC but for some reason, I didn't think they were very funny on their own show. And I always liked Jeffrey Tambor's appearances on TC but on the Ropers, he was boring. Anne was beautiful but she wasn't funny. The only episode of the Ropers I really liked was "The Surprise Party" and that's mainly because Jack, Janet and Chrissy made a guest appearance. The rest were just ok.

As for TAC, I think it's a great show. Every episode from the marathon cracked me up. And Jack Tripper was hilarious just like he was on TC. The only character I didn't care for was E.Z. I liked Vicki and Mr. Bradford and Mr. Bradfords ex-wife, but it was really John Ritter who made this show work.

Actually, the Ropers could have used a neighbor like EZ so that Stanley could stand out more. lol

I like both, but I would give a slight edge to Three's A Crowd.

slight edge goes to Ropers because of EZ
