In fact, many of our sitcoms (especially ABC's) have been based on British shows (Too Close For Comfort, Oh Madeline, etc.). I'm sure someone on the net can provide an exhaustive list.

>During the credits at the end of each episode of "Three's a Crowd", it clearly >states that it is based on the British series "Robin's Nest". When did the British series change names? I remember when the series was first on it was "Man About The House". Far superior to "Three's Company", but then what isn't. -- Rick Gillespie ARPANET: rick@ucla-locus.ARPA or (soon) rick@LOCUS.UCLA.EDU UUCP: ...!{cepu|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|ucbvax}!ucla-cs!rick SPUDNET: ...eye%rick@russet.spud

"Man About The House" changed to "Robin's Nest" when Robin got married and started a restaurant with his wife (sound familiar?). He didn't get along with his father-in-law. Chrissy (I think) married Robin's brother in the last episode of "Man". Diane Wilkerson ..!hopd4!dvw
