Could Jack Tripper Really Afford the Three's Company Lifestyle?

Could Jack Tripper really afford the Three's Company lifestyle? Three hundred dollars a month, split three ways, a few blocks from the beach in Santa Monica. On TV it looked easy. Put real 1977 wages behind it, and the math says something the show never did: none of them could have lived there alone. Hit like, subscribe, and tell us in the comments: did you ever split an apartment with roommates? What was your rent, and what year was it? And which family should we price out next, Mr. Kotter and Julie, the Drummonds from Diff'rent Strokes, or Darrin and Samantha from Bewitched? #ThreesCompany #ClassicTV #JohnRitter #SuzanneSomers #JoyceDeWitt #70sTV #TVHistory #CostOfLiving
