Three's a Crowd


Three's a Crowd is an American sitcom television series produced as a spin-off sequel and continuation of Three's Company that aired on ABC from September 25, 1984, until April 9, 1985, with reruns airing until September 10, 1985. It is loosely based on the British sitcom Robin's Nest, which was itself a spin-off of Man About the House, on which Three's Company was based.

Plot

In Three's Company's final episodes, Vicky Bradford is introduced as a love interest of Jack Tripper, beginning with the episode titled "Cupid Works Overtime". In the following two-part episode "Friends and Lovers", Jack proposes marriage, but Vicky, afraid of marriage after witnessing her parents' tumultuous relationship and bitter divorce, declines the offer. Vicky instead convinces Jack to move in with her in the vacant apartment above his restaurant. Vicky's wealthy father James Bradford buys the building from Jack's former boss Frank Angelino. James does not approve of Jack, and he constantly tries to disrupt his and Vicky's relationship.
Other characters include E. Z. Taylor, Jack's eccentric assistant at the bistro, and Claudia Bradford, Vicky's mother and James's ex-wife.
