Plot

The series focused on middle-aged couple Stanley and Helen Roper (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley, respectively), who were landlords to Jack, Janet, and Chrissy on Three's Company. They now reside in Cheviot Hills.

In this spinoff, the Ropers have sold their apartment building in Three's Company to live in the upmarket community of Cheviot Hills, where the social-climbing Helen struggled to fit in with her neighbors. Stanley made little attempt to fit in with the standards of the community, thereby causing Helen much embarrassment. The address of their new home was 46 Peacock Drive. Their phone number was 555-3099.
