In episode, "Night Of the Ropers" there are some things that bugged me - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

No Larry in this ep. I don't know how he could have been written in, I just wanted to see him there.

The Ropers were rude to Cindy. Especially Mrs. Roper, she didn't even extend her hand out to meet her. I would have expected that from Mr. Roper like we saw anyway.

Mr. Furley and Mr. Roper didn't verbally call the other by one's name. I know it sounds strange, but I wanted to hear them acknowledge the other by name.

This plot was kind of rushed. You don't barge in someone else apartment and pick a fight with them. They could have had the Ropers apologize to Furley fro intruding in on him.

Janet got on my nerves. At times she tries to be everyone's mother. She had the nerve to ask Furley what he was doing in his own bed while a stranger could sleep down there?! It's his apartment, he can come home anytime he wants and he should not expect to see a stranger in his bed!

These were some things that could have been worked on for a better plot.

Yeah I have to agree, this plot did seemed a little rushed especially since this was the last time the Ropers were featured on the show.

I think the plot was rushed because we had the Ropers appearing on the show mad at each other instead of visiting the roomates together.

Also, why would Mr. Roper come looking for Helen at the kids apartment out of nowhere and they have been gone for like 2 years?!

I wanted to see if Furley and Roper could get along instead of "fighting over Mrs. Roper." LOL

Mrs. Roper was rude to Cindy because she said something stupid-lol

And Mr. Roper didn't know her that well plus he was going through something so he wasn't in the mindset to say anything -"Hi how are you?

I don't consider it stupid what Cindy said, because she only caught the tail end of a conversation. She was outside when Mrs. Roper showed up and explained to Janet what happened. It was rude and a snide remark. Mrs. Roper never was rude to Chrissy to my knowledge.

It was one or two times but not often.
