Corrected entry: Mr Roper can hear the roommates' bathroom through the sink and the pipes, indicating that they are right on top of each other. However based on how the apartments are set out in the building and the locations of each bathroom in their respective apartments, it would be impossible for him to hear the bathroom so, if at all.
Three's Company (1977)
1 corrected entry in Stanley's Hotline
Starring: John Ritter, Don Knotts, Suzanne Somers, Joyce DeWitt, Richard Kline
Genres: Comedy
Revealing mistake: During Jack's dance scene, the old lady that he dances with spins away from him and knocks off a man's toupee. The actress was supposed to knock it off as she went by, but it's obvious that she misses and instead quickly reaches over to snatch it off his head instead.
Jack Tripper: And speaking of current events, did you read the big news in the paper this morning?
Chrissy: The May Company is having a huge sale on pantyhose.
Jack Tripper: Excuse me, Chrissy, that's not exactly a current event.
Chrissy: It is so, it's going on right now.
Trivia: Of all 5 roommates (Jack, Janet, Chrissy, Cindy, Terri), the only parent of a roommate never to appear in any episode is Cindy's mother.
Question: What is the picture of women on the walls of the set? Not the butterfly picture, the others.
Answer: I believe you are referring to the artwork of Alphonse Mucha. On the wall next to the front door was "Feather" (which is one half of "Primrose and Feather"). Above the telephone in early episodes was "Zodiac". Also seen through The Apartment was "Spring" and "Autumn".
Answer: Or, you may be referring to Tranquillo Cremona's High Life (A Piquant Conversation), which hangs above the side table.

Correction: If you're familiar with the show, the Ropers' front door and the roommates' front door upstairs are both on same side of the building separated by one flight of stairs. The inside of each apartment we see (as viewers) are from opposite sides. So when we see the Ropers' bathroom all the way right, we also see the roommates' bathroom all the way left. So in theory more or less, they ARE approximately on top of each other.
