Best Ropers episode

This show is very close in spirit to a classic Three's Company episode. Misunderstandings and double entendres are all over the episode and make it one of the funniest episodes in the series. It starts off with the death of Mr Roper's beloved parakeet Oscar and moves on to a rummage sale being held by the Brookes church. Mrs Roper wants to help n donates various items, unfortunately unbeknownst to the Ropers, including a box filled with Mr Roper's girlie magazines! Why Jenny n Mrs Roper didn't just look more throughly through a box of magazines would've been too logical and we would not have had such a funny episode. Jeffery Tambor in great as usual and shows himself the highlight of this short lived classic series.
