Three's Company premiered on ABC on March 15, 1977. In this comedy, two contemporary young single girls found themselves in need of a roommate for their Santa Monica apartment so they decided to settle for the man they found sleeping in thier bathtub -- after a going-away party for their last roommate. Jack was harmless enough, but the problem was in convincing everyone else of that. Parents objected and humorous misunderstandings abounded, but Jack stayed. In addition to his other virtues, he was the only one of the three roommates who could cook. His favorite ploy was to intimate that he was a homosexual, and therefore uninterested in the two sexy girls (in fact, nothing did go on between them). The landlady, Mrs. Roper who lived downstairs, worried less about what was going on upstairs than about the fact that nothing was going on in her love life with her husband, Stanley. Away from their confused home life, Jack was studying for (and eventually got) his chef's diploma; Janet, the brunette, worked in a florist shop; and Chrissy, the frivolous blonde, was a typist. Stanley and Helen left the series for their own show The Ropers, and were replaced by Ralph Furley as the new landlord. Then, Chrissy left the show and Jack and Janet promptly found a new roommate in Cindy, who was introduced as Chrissy's cute but clumsy cousin. She moved out in order to study veterinary medicine at UCLA, though she continued to visit for another season. Her replacement was a smart, vivacious nurse named Terri. Meanwhile Jack pursued his career as a chef, first at Angelino's Restaurant (whose owner, Frank Angelino was seen occasionally). In 1982 Mr. Angelino and landlord Ralph Furley put up the money to open Jack's own place, called Jack's Bistro, specializing in French cuisine. When not at the restaurant or the apartment, the gang hung out at the Regal Beagle, a neighborhood pub. When he lost his roommates (Janet got married and Terri moved to Hawaii) Jack moved in with his new girlfriend Vicky and a new series began, called Three's A Crowd.
