Come And Knock On Our Door: Three’s Company Facts, Plus Where They Are Now

Norman Fell Is Reluctant

As the spin-off of Three’s Company, The Ropers was supposed to be Fell’s big break but not even he wanted to leave the iconic show to star in it. TV wife Audra Lindley eventually convinced the actor to do the series and as a stipulation, the network agreed to allow Fell’s return to Three’s Company if the program lasted less than a year. Unfortunately for Fell, by the time the series ended, the world and the producers loved Knotts as Furley too much to let Norman return.
