What I get for having tons of trivia floating about in my head... some of you may have guessed this already by the surname of the landlord, Man About the House came across the pond and was known in the States as "Three's Company".

For our transatlantic cousins :-
"George and Mildred" was a comedy spin off from The UK
version of "Man about the House". G&M (the Ropers)
were the landlady/landlord and were given their own
series which ran for many years in the 60's. Quite
what the Company thought that had in common with a
strategy game I can not imagine.
