* ScrewedByTheNetwork: This series, ''and'' its stars. Norman Fell was very nervous about leaving the security of a hit primetime show and insisted that a clause be added to the contract that he and Lindley could return to ''Three's Company'' if ''The Ropers'' was cancelled within a year. After a very successful six episode Spring tryout airing after the parent show, the show was moved to the 8pm Saturday night slot where it instantly fell in the ratings against ''Series/{{CHiPs}}'' on Creator/{{NBC}}. Fell felt that Creator/{{ABC}} intentionally dragged its feet in cancelling the show in order to keep from having to fulfill its promise to return the characters to ''Company'', which had by this time successfully replaced the two landlord characters with one, DonKnotts as Ralph Furley.
