Default The Pre Three's Company Mystery

Why did Elenenor have her own room?

Why did Elenenor do all the cooking?

Was she their roommate or their mother?

Maybe she was older by 2-3 years hence why she got married and moved out but the very least Janet or Chrissy could've picked up some cooking tips, unless of course they placed the ad for a new roommate that knows how to cook.

They all looked like they was the same age group when elenenor appeared

That's what made it so odd. Janet and chrissy dependent on elenenor and jack like they were kids

Remember the episode when they thought jack was moving out and they were concerned because they would have to cook their own meals lol

It was a big thing that Jack would now be the cook, and that Janet & Chrissy didn't cook. So I guess it made for a good explanation, that Eleanor had cooked for them before.

When Eleanor comes by for a visit, I would have her played by a guest actress just slightly older -- Linda Kaye Henning would've been a great choice, a couple of years older than Suzanne Somers.

Well Jack was the SAME, was he their roommate or their FATHER? lol


Honestly I think it was because Janet and Elenenor were the first 2 roommates, so Janet took a room and Elenenor took the other. For some reason I'm thinking Chrissy moved in later....I dunno why she moved into Janet's room.... unless maybe Elenenor was the very first one and put an ad out Janet responsed.... who knows... but maybe Elenenor had some seniority

You bring up another good point. Jack's room was already empty before he moved which was weird lol

I think that Jack's room was empty before he moved into it because Eleanor had just moved out of it and all of her belongings went with her.

Question 1: I don’t know. Good question.

Question 2: We can only assume that because Janet and Chrissy didn’t know how to cook. Maybe not but I thought it was even mentioned in the episode when Eleanor visited the girls that she used to do all the cooking.

Question 3: LOL.

Well Eleanor had already left and had gotten married at that point so maybe all her belongings were gone.

I figured Janet or Chrissy would have already moved their stuff in there since the room wasnt being used
