A Man About the House - S1-E1

Corrected entry: When Jack is introduced to Mr. Roper for the first time, the girls just say he's their landlord (no name given yet), however after Jack's talk in the kitchen with Chrissy (in which still no landlord name given), Jack storms out and starts out shouting "Look here Mr. Roper..." He still should not have known the landlord's name at this point.

Correction: They could have told him Roper's name earlier in the episode, off-screen.

No Children, No Pets - S1-E4

Corrected entry: Janet mentions that Roper's rule of living in the building is no pets or babies allowed. Pets is one thing which is common in many apartments, but it would be unlawful to not allow babies in an apartment building.

Correction: While it would be illegal, landlords sometimes do illegal things, such as discriminate. It would also be illegal for him to deny renting to a straight man living with two women. But, Mr. Roper has been renting a long time and it wasn't until the Fair Housing Act of 1968 that made it illegal to deny renting to people with children (so less than a decade ago when the show was made). Not only may Mr. Roper be unaware of the law, but potential tenants may also be unaware of the new laws and just accept his terms. It would only be a mistake if a court ruled that Mr. Roper was acting legally.

Strange Bedfellows - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Roper tries to explain to the girls and his wife what he was doing in Jack's bedroom, watch over Mr. Roper's left shoulder on the shelf. The number of yellow cans on the shelf keep alternating between one and two cans throughout several minutes. In addition, also notice the suitcase on the floor under the shelf as well. Whenever one yellow can is shown, the suitcase is by itself and whenever two yellow cans are shown, there is a square silver bag in front of the suitcase.

Show generally

Question: In the second episode Chrissy's mother comes to visit. In future episodes her father comes to visit - who is an actual "father" (i.e. priest). Aren't priests forbidden to be married?

Answer: He's not a Catholic priest. He's a pastor, with the title Reverend, at a community church who chooses to wear a clerical collar. Some people still address pastors as "Father" though. I'm not sure of his religious denomination, but most pastors can marry.

Bishop73

Answer: Yes Pastors can marry... I was asking for Priests since his collar appears to be that of a Catholic descent.

Some protestant pastors wear the clerical collar as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_collar.
