Three's Company

Three's Company is an American sitcom that aired from 1977 to 1984, built on the premise of a man sharing an apartment with two women—scandalous enough in its era that the landlord had to believe he was gay.

The title plays on the proverb "two's company, three's a crowd," suggesting that a third person intrudes on a pair.

The phrase now evokes the show's style of broad physical comedy and sexual misunderstandings.
