| The Ropers | comment |
A 1979–80 Spin-Off of the popular ABC sitcom Three's Company, and the Americanized version of the British series George & Mildred (which itself was a spinoff of the show on which Three's Company was based, Man About the House. Confused yet?).After selling their apartment complex, Stanley and Helen Roper (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley) move into a luxury townhouse in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Cheviot Hills, where they end up living next to snobbish real estate salesman Jeffrey P. Brookes III (Jeffrey Tambor), his wife Ann (Patricia McCormack), and their young son David (Evan Cohen). | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| The Ropers / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: This was a signature of Mr. Roper; he would deliver a one-liner or zinger and then slowly turn to the camera and smile mischeviously. | |

Poorly Disguised Pilot | |
| The Ropers / int_38b05ae7 | comment |
Poorly Disguised Pilot: "An Anniversary Surprise" from Three's Company helped set up the basic premise by having Stanley sell the apartment building. The actual pilot episode ("Moving On," which borrows heavily from the George & Mildred pilot) ended up being syndicated as a Three's Company episode. | |

Slobs Versus Snobs: Mainly Stanley vs. Jeffrey. Ann gets along fine with the Ropers and often chastises Jeffrey for his snobby behavior. | |

Non-Nude Bathing | |
| The Ropers / int_ad43ba7f | comment |
Non-Nude Bathing: In the first regular episode, Stanley thankfully leaves on his bathrobe as he tests his bubble bath water temperature. Of course, he's not wearing any shorts underneath, which leads to some awkwardness when he climbs up a ladder. | |

Irony | |
| The Ropers / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Jeffrey didn't want the Ropers to move in on the grounds that they would lower the neighborhood's property values. Stanley didn't want to move in because the house was too expensive. | |

Hope Spot | |
| The Ropers / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: In "Friends and Neighbors," the Ropers get locked out of their house; they just want to relax and Jeffrey wants them out of his house. He lets them borrow a ladder so Stanley can climb up to an open window. Stanley makes it and reports his success, only for the door knob to the room he's in to break loose. | |
