What does "Three's Company" have to do with anything? Yes the show "existed", but you seem to be mistaken about the content of the show.
"Threes Company" was a popular Seventies sitcom about straight folks. One straight dude living (platonically) with two hawt straight chicks. But he had pretended to be gay when he moved in so that the landlord would allow a male roomate. And he had to keep up the ruse for the whole ten plus seasons of the show. That ruse, plus his actual hetero lusting for the two girls, was the premise for the comedy.
Not a homophobic show. But not about gays either. So if you thought the show was a Seventies precursor of "Will and Grace" you're hugely mistaken.
To:Lost Dragon: You might be familiar with the UK show "Man About the House". According to Wiki our American"Threes Company" was a ripoff of that show (so apparently if ya know one show ya know the other). Your younger self would not have found any gay "role model" characters in "Threes Company" contrary to Txfx mistakenly believes.
Just a reference to the media depiction of homosexuality. You musta miss the episodes where Jack was being mocked for being gay by the homophobic manager.
