I changed the spoiler in the Jack Tripper trope "Unresolved Sexual Tension" that said he & Janet marry other people. Vicki, the last woman Jack's with on the show, only moves in w/ him.


* UnresolvedSexualTension: Multiple episodes suggest that he and Janet might have a thing for each other, but nothing ever comes of it, and in the series finale, they [[spoiler:both end up marrying different people.]]

* StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale: Basically the whole idea behind her character. She was obsessed with Jack and refused to leave him alone, even moving into his apartment building to be near him. He, on the other hand, had no interest in her and would go to great lengths to avoid her. If it was one of the girls who had an older man chasing them, the situation likely would not have been seen as funny.

** Unlike Mr. Roper, it's implied that Mr. Furley himself would not have a problem with the trio's living situation, especially given his own "swinger" lifestyle. It's just that his brother Bart, the building's true owner, would never stand for it.
