Question about the Three's Company Syndication Package - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone know why episode #7 of the sitcom-The Ropers-which was "The Party (aka)Stanely,the Ladies Man" is now apart of the Three's Company syndication package when it was originally aired as a Ropers episode on September 15, 1979? I always thought it was a Three's Company episode after seeing it for the first time but I found it was actually the first episode of the Ropers second season.

The reason it's in the TC syndication package is because it has Suzanne John and Joyce in it. The Ropers rerun package isn't shown that much and this way a few episodes (#1 & #7) can be shown.

Oh okay-thanks-and i guess that makes sense becauase the Trio are in the entire episode. So Nickoloden probably just took out the opening Ropers credits to make it look like a episode of Three's Company in syndication.

I believe it was put into the TC syndication package in 1982 when TC started airing on local stations. They just took the season three credits and then made the rest of the The Ropers cast guest stars.
