Three's Company picture

The Matchbreakers - S6-E13

Other mistake: In the Regal Beagle, Jack addresses Marsha as Ms. White although later in the episode her last name is revealed to be Whitewood. In addition, how could Jack have known her last name anyway? Marsha only said her first name in front of Furley and the trio early in the episode and presumably she hasn't talked to the trio since she left with Furley out the door.

Suggested correction: In addition to the other correction (occurring 00:07:25), this correction addresses the second part of the mistake, as to how Jack knew Marsha's last name. Earlier, when Larry tells the trio that Furley was fine with him being late with the rent, Janet states, "He's been wining and dining her for 3 days" (at 00:06:15). So at any time during those 3 days (offscreen), Furley told the kids about his dream girl, which would have included her last name.

Suggested correction: No Jack does say, "Hello Ms. Whitewood!" While they are shaking hands. Time stamp in the episode when this occurs is at 7:25.

Show generally

Other mistake: When the throne in episode 5 & 6 is first introduced it is a normal throne or chair; it doesn't move when merely touched. But once the ceremony starts and after it's finished, it's suddenly a swivel chair. The base is never shown of course. But a swivel chair made of solid rock...?
