Lingering/Unanswered Questions

[PrettyinPink55]

What are some lingering/unanswered questions you've always had about Three's Company?

Just a "disclaimer," this thread is meant to be fun. Maybe there are answers to our questions and maybe there aren't. It's just meant for fun, open discussion, so have at it!!!

I'll start:

1) Why did Eleanor get the big bedroom and the big bed when Janet and Chrissy had to share a room and each slept in the twin beds?

2) Why did Mrs. Roper marry Stanley in the first place? Why did he marry her?

1) Perhaps they started out as two roommates and then added a third to minimize cost. Or possibly Eleanor paid a slightly higher rent. Which makes me think, did Jack pay more than the girls for rent because he had his own room?

2) That was the way things were for many people in those days. When you got married, you got married for life.

Yes, but what I mean is, they seemed completely incompatible!! Why/How did they get together in the first place?

I don't think Jack paid higher rent than the girls.

Why didn't Jack look into getting his own pad like Larry once he got the Bistro

Why did Cindy tell her boss she was typing someone's resume on company time?

Jack probably didn't want to leave because he was living with two girls!!!

Cindy wasn't exactly the brightest bulb, lol!!

Mrs. Roper seemed to refer to Mr. Roper sometimes as being a lot different when he was younger. I think that was a lot of it. He grew old and bitter lol.

Ok well that leads me to my next question, how the hell did she get a job as a secretary?


Oh, she was nice to look at it, LOL

Okay I have a question. It's might sound like a stupid question, but this part of a conversation never made sense to me and I was wondering if anyone could make sense of it.

In Chrissy's Hospitality, when Jack and Janet get home and have their little moment (STAB ME IN THE FEELS), this exchange confuses me:

Jack: She's gonna be okay. Somebody always watches out for kids like Chrissy.
Janet: They do? Well, in that case, if you have any favors coming, Jack, you ask for 'em now, okay?
Jack: I already have, Janet. I already have.

Whatttttt are they talking about? Am I that dense? I feel like it shouldn't confuse me at all, but I don't get what they are talking about lol. Is Janet saying that Jack is "a kid like Chrissy" and she's looking out for him? But then what is Jack talking about when he says he already has. Why is this confusing me so much. I FEEL LIKE CHRISSY.

Pretty sure it was stated that Chrissy set her up with her old job. I guess they trusted Chrissy so much that they were willing to hire her cousin.

Oh I could I forget, 'employee referrals" which is the reason for high unemployment

Jack probably wasn't making a profit as many don't when they first open a restaurant.

Cindy wasn't dumb, just naive.

She was talking about praying for Chrissy.

Why did Mr. Furley not make out with the woman he brought back to his apartment he met at the beagle?? Then he helps her get back with her boyfriend??


I;m sorry but I think Furley was gay and wanted to keep it a secret from the kids. What straight man brings a woman back to his place and when the woman was begging for Furley to kiss her he gets scared??????


LOL

I guess. The way it was worded still doesn't make much sense to me.

Could be. But I think a lot of Furley's personality was that he was all talk, but deep down he was a really socially anxious kind of guy. It's kind of a joke they always made about the guys on the show. They loved to be in control and hit on women, but when the women came on strong back it kind of freaked them out. That's all it was.
