Truly awful. Cheap sets. Horrendous acting to even worst dialogue. Just plain stupid. I don't know how I survived that decade. All my friends constantly drooling over crap like this. Thank you mom & dad for refusing to let this play on our set and raising me on historical dramas and documentaries. Juvenile humor ruled that decade and the millennial's are the result.
shareIt was a fun but flawed series
shareNobody watched this for the alleged jokes.
“Embarrassment from the 70s” is like “brutality and genocide from the Nazis.” Duh.
It was a cheap copycat of a British sitcom called “Man About The House”

shareI find this is show much better with the sound off.
There was a natural charisma with Ritter, and the show was good natured enough, but dude, you're absolutely right. Every. single. episode had a scenario where two people were behind closed doors, saying things that could be interpreted by someone listening in as being of a sexual nature. Annnnd that was pretty much the show. Just kind of a goofy sleaziness where if it wasn't this situation, there was some mixup about Ritter's sexuality, and he had to pretend to be gay....or something.
I remember realizing how one-note this show was back as a young teenager, when I absolutely loved it...before suddenly understanding it was always the same thing. Like the ball dropped (AhAHAHhAHAAHAHAAA!!! (how that pun would have went over in front of one of their studio audiences) after watching yet another "misunderstanding" scene, and that show was all over for me.
MAN the humor in this show was thin. Still love John Ritter though, the guy exuded a certain charm that I'm not sure I've seen from any other actor since.
This is too funny...how old were you when you finally watched it?
Two problems I have with this show. Way too many misunderstandings, and way too much focus on 1 thing. Other than that, this show is a gem.
OP's post is pure drivel.
