Three's Company (1977)
Correction: Generally the idea of seeing a character wearing a wedding ring as a mistake is because in real life the actor or actress forget to take off their wedding ring. In real life, Lee Crawford (who plays Doreen) was divorced in 1978 and wasn't married or engaged at the time of shooting the episode. So it's just a character choice to wear a ring on her left hand and doesn't mean she's married or engaged.
The very point being, that she is wearing on one on her hand, when she's supposed to be single in this episode. So the mistake stands.
No, because it's a character choice. People who are single wear rings on their left ring finger for a variety of reasons, none of which indicates it's a wedding band or that they're married.
New this monthThere's always a chance she was married but having an affair with Jack, and like most men, Jack didn't pay attention to that fact. Many men don't notice this fact the way that women do - especially single men. Women tend to pay more attention to these types of things.
New this monthCorrection: I work with a woman who is single but wears a wedding ring and refers to herself as "Mrs - " because it puts men off, and so she gets to choose who she wants to "get closer to" (her words).

Correction: Doreen is wearing a ring with a raised dark center stone - it glistens as she moves her hand. It looks like a regular fashion statement ring that women wore/wear on either their right or left hand; nothing indicative of a "wedding band" at all.

Explain how you know this for sure - as it certainly resembles a wedding band.

Explain? Alright. I watched the episode, and Doreen's ring does not look like a wedding band. It appears to be just a normal ring with at least one raised dark gemstone.

New this monthJust because it "resembles a wedding band" doesn't mean it is one. And even if it was definitively a wedding band, it's not necessarily a mistake. Three's Company was set in a very sexually liberated time. Doreen could be in an open marriage.
