Solomon, that is twisted! LOL. However, I do agree with you about Ann Brookes. LOL. The actress was 50's movie actress where she played a young girl in a lot of scary movie flicks. It's funny, though. The show is not as bad to me this time around. It could have used some punching up but I can watch it. It has had some funny moments.

They should have had one member of the trio appear alone after they all appeared together. jack one month and then janet and chrissy and one more by Larry

They should have had Larry join the cast.

The show wasn't great but it did have funny moments. I think in the end ,The Ropers were better supporting characters then lead characters. What made Stanley so funny in TC was his relationship with Jack and that was absent here. The supporting characters weren't that strong. Ann was hot but she wasn't funny. lol

Yeah his jokes about his wife were only funny on TC because they were not seen that often. It got OLD quick when they got their own show.

I mean AL Bundy made fun of Peg but they had kids to balance it out. On the Ropers it was just Stanely insulting Helen which was boring

I think the only reason people watched them on Three's Company in their apartment was because you knew you would see one of the trio any second. It was never a long 10 min segment with just the ropers


which is why I don't understand why the first ep of the ropers is in the three's company syndication package.

I don't think it would have been if the Ropers had been a hit. I think the producers just added a couple of extra episodes for the package.

Because I think it gives the Ropers the proper send off and resolves the "What happened to them" theory many people probably had so it wouldn't be like they're there one minute and then gone the next. Plus, the spinoff show as canceled and it was probably not expected that the show would be in syndication. So anything with a Three's Company attachment would or could be packaged with Three's Company.

The Only Three's Company attachment was their apt, not one character from TC-lol I believe it should have been more for it to be in the syndication package. Like Chrissy coming down to say goodbye.

Well, then IMO this ep was combined into the parent series because it gives closure and it makes perfect sense. The same thing happened with "Hello Larry". An episode was used/mixed into the Diff'rent strokes package. Part 1 started in DS and then part 2 was continued in HL.

She was in only one horror film as a child.

Tom there was already closure in the episode when the annoucement was made that the Ropers were moving and the episode ended with the trio hugging the Ropers.

That episode which was the first episode of the spinoff shows them moving in their new place which was not really a connection to three's company
