A top 10 American television sitcom hit from 1977 to 1983, Three's Company's story revolves around three single roommates: Jack Tripper, Janet Wood, and Chrissy Snow, who all platonically live together in a Santa Monica, California, apartment complex owned by Stanley and Helen Roper. The show, a farce, chronicles the escapades and hijinks of the trio's constant misunderstandings, social lives, and financial struggles. Old Folks at Home is the seventh episode of the fourth season and the sixtieth overall episode of the series. Written by Michael S. Baser and Kim Weiskopf and directed by Dave Powers, it first aired 30 October 1979 on ABC. The episode's story revolves around an older man Leo Moran (Pat O'Malley) who shows up and hopes to find a place to stay. Feeling sympathetic, the group offers to let him stay for a few days until he can find a permanent place to live. However, the arrangement proves...complicated.
During the series' seven-year run, Ritter and the show won Emmys and Golden Globes, and his delivery and physicality put him up there with the comedy greats.
