 Three's Company is another series with some spin-offs, but no connection to the TVCU. I know I usually do these posts the first week of the month, but tomorrow is the first so close enough.   1977 - 1984--Three's Company--This was a great series.  It ran in syndication in reruns when I was a kid.  Jack Tripper needs a place to live.  Janet and Chrissy need a roommate.  Only the landlord is conservative and won't let a male room with women.  Except despite being homophobic, he's okay if Jack is gay, and so the deception and constant misunderstandings which are the basis for the comedy begin.   1979--That 70's Show Stone Cold Crazy. Don Knotts appears has Jackie and Fez's Landlord and has a comical misunderstanding.   Ralph Furley mentioned he was the Landlord at some of his brother's other properties. So this  must take place shortly before his brother had him be the landlord for the roommates on Three's Company  1979...

Sex and the City

 Not a lot of crossovers, necessarily, in this one, but it is a franchise with spin-offs.  Anyways, I'm running out of ideas.  Was going to do Diagnosis Murder but turns out I already did that in 2016.  I can't even remember all the subjects I've covered in the past 14 years.   1984 - 1986 -- The Carrie Diaries -- Prequel series with Carrie in high school.   1998 - 2004 -- Sex and the City-- Four really obnoxious women have sex and their in a city.  Carrie Bradshaw I guess writes a column.  Anyways I met Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick once.  They came to my church and participated.  Their son goes to school nearby.  Anyways, I've only seen bits and pieces of the show.  I love comedies and "chick flicks"/romcoms, but this still wasn't really my thing.  Anyways, I thought the brunette was cute. 2008-- Sex and the City (the movie) -- More stuff happens.  I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia.  ...
