Three's Company

Urban Plowboy - S6-E17

Stupidity: The fact that Mr. Furley just gives Wally (a total stranger) a presumingly long ride out of town to a farm to see Jack is a bit unbelievable considering the odds are that the trio would not have given (or be obligated to give) Furley the address where they were staying (Larry just shows up too separately). Also, Wally leaves the barn alone at the end... how is he going to get back that same long distance? Although entertaining, lots of stupidities were in this one episode.

Jack's Tattoo - S8-E16

Stupidity: The fact that the young mother in the hospital would give Janet (a total stranger to her) her baby to watch while visiting her husband in a different area is completely unreal. Nobody would really ever just give their baby to a stranger like that and leave. In addition, Janet took the baby into Jack's room for quite awhile.

An Anniversary Surprise - S3-E20

Trivia: Many TV stations over the years left out the original ending scene (the small party held before the Ropers leave). This scene explains how The New Landlord Mr. Furley knew Jack was supposedly gay in the first episode without anyone mentioning it. This ending reveals Roper told the new owners Jack was gay. Without seeing this ending, the storyline is unclear.

A Man About the House - S1-E1

Question: I never understood the meaning of the dialogue in a scene with the Ropers in the first episode. Stanley says to Helen something like "Too bad you're not from India - you'd be sacred there." Helen then comes back by saying "and contented." What did both of these phrases mean?

Answer: Mr. Roper was basically comparing Mrs. Roper to a cow, which is a sacred and highly revered animal among Hindus; Mrs. Roper's retort meant that she wasn't happy with her marriage or current station in life, so she'd be happier as a cow in India.
