What do you think is worse?...........
What do you think is worse the ropers tv show or threes a crowd? I believe as bad as the ropers was threes a crowd was even worse.
shareI agree. The Ropers was slightly better than TAC since you had the great chemistry between Brooks and the Ropers!
shareThe Ropers was better.

John had a long acting career afte TAC but unfortunately the Ropers didn't have much after the Ropers.
shareBoth Audra Lindley and Norman Fell had long acting careers after The Ropers, but they were character actors like they had been their whole careers. They weren't stars, but they still both acted until their deaths in 1997 and 1998. Norman Fell had been a character actor since the '50s and Audra Lindley since the '40s.

I think The Ropers was a much better show than Three's a Crowd. It's too bad The Ropers only lasted two seasons because both Norman Fell and Audra Lindley were very funny on it. I liked their interaction with the neighbors next door and especially Norman Fell's scenes with the neighbors' little boy, David.
Also, the scenes where Stanley had to tolerate and entertain Helen's sister, Ethel, brother-in-law, Hubert, and mother were hilarious.
I only watched parts of one or two episodes of Three's a Crowd because I found it boring and didn't like any of the new characters. It didn't seem to me like Jack would have chosen Vicki to be his wife (based on the Three's Company series and the type of woman that Jack usually dated), because she wasn't really his type. Also, Robert Mandan's character, Vicki's father, was both pompous and annoying. Maybe if the producers had done a better job in casting these two parts, the show would have been funnier and more interesting.
