I remember a later show, _Kate & Alley_. In one episode they claim to be lesbians to their landlord because of some issue with their lease. The comic complication being that their landlord is also a lesbian and comes out to them. Did \*Three’s Company \* ever have Jack get hit on by another guy? I can’t really believe that it would.

But maybe… I’m sure this happened on at least a couple occasions much later in the series, though Jack was in drag, and the guy hitting on him didn’t realize he wasn’t a woman. Whether a genuinely homosexual man attempted to hit on Jack, knowing full well that he was also a man, I don’t recall, but I’ll be sure to post here if and when I get to such an episode. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-un-realistic-a-premise-was-threes-companys/594487.md?page=3)
