The Ropers or Mr. Furley? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which landlord do you like better? Mr. and Mrs. Roper, or Mr. Furley?

I can't really choose. I loved both of them. Mr. and Mrs. Roper's sex jokes were funny, but I feel that if they were in all 8 seasons, their one sex joke would kind of wear out. I liked Mr. Furley too, and I'm glad he spent 4 seasons on the show. So, what are your thoughts?

The Roper's...They were the best...But i still love Mr. Furley

I prefer the Ropers even though I like Mr. Furley a lot. Both landlords had great jokes. I enjoyed the Ropers on both TC and their spinoff.

Mr. Furley because he was funnier I think. But I liked the Ropers too.....

Sorry Sean, but I just can't resist.

For me, it's kind of like when you see the Ropers...you like them better. But when you see RF...you like HIM better. So I guess that would mean I like them both the same.

Mr. Furley

Good Question. If any of you have read some of my other posts you know how I rag on replacements and newer things, but I think maybe Three's Company is gonna defy the odds. My favorite seasons are the ones with the Ropers, but that's not because I favor them. I liked them almost as well, but Mr Furley is tops.

I Like The Ropers, But Mr. Furley is better. Mr. Furley was hilarious, Hes my favorite character on the show

Three'sCompanyrules · 03-23-2003, 11:43 PM

Oh man this is a hard one. Great question SomersCompany3! I would say I like Mr. Furley a little better than the Ropers, because I think Mr. Furley was more hilarious, but I think Mr. Ropers jokes were a little better, so its very close, but my favorite of the two landlords is Mr. Furley.

Fran Fan · 04-13-2003, 02:21 AM

Oh geez, that's a tough question. I might have to go with Mr. Furley but the Ropers were pretty darn funny too, especially when Stanley would crack a joke about his wife and then grin into the camera. They're almost about equal but I think Furley was funnier, but only by a slight margin.

°Bubbly Blonde° · 04-13-2003, 04:41 PM

Ropers jokes got overused.....definitely Mr. Furley, I like Furley a looooooot better

AtlantaBravesFan29 · 04-19-2003, 10:42 PM

I like both the Ropers and Mr. Furley a lot. I like it when Stanley looks into the camera and grins when he makes a joke and the exchanges between Stanley and Helen were hilarious. Mr. Furley,he was a character,as a matter of fact,anything that Don Knotts does is hilarious. How about it when they had the Three's Company spoof on 8 Simple Rules where John Ritter's character was in bed and he thought that he was talking to his wife and then in a scene similiar to the one where Mr. Roper is in bed with Jack,Mr. Furley is in the bed with him. That was hilarious!!!

If I had my opinion, I would call it a draw on both.

Impressions · 04-23-2003, 09:42 AM

I liked the Ropers, I liked the way Stanley and Helen worked together to tease and make jokes about each other.

TALLguyinKY · 05-02-2003, 04:07 AM

I love the Ropers, especially HELEN, and like Mr. Furley.
