| This was the first trial pilot made to Americanize the Britcom Man About the House. ABC liked the general idea, but chose not to pick it up, due to the sexual innuendos (they were too extreme for the 70's) and the executives were not fond of Curtain or Zenor as the roommates.
| The opening titles sequence simply shows the cast pictures in front of the apartment complex and has no lyrics to it, instead, it's just the Three's Company theme hummed by a man and a woman.
| Only John Ritter, Audra Lindley, and Norman Fell are casted in the episode.
| This episode can be seen on the Three's Company ~ Season 2 boxed set.
| There are some major differences from this episode to the eventual series:
Jack Tripper is called David Bell
Janet Wood is called Jenny, she is like Janet for the most part, except she is sex-starved and much more sarcastic.
Chrissy Snow is called Samantha, while she is dense, she doesn't have the cute naivety of the eventual Chrissy.
Mrs. Roper goes unnamed, and is not like the lovable Mrs. Roper of the series, but instead just a sex-starved female version of Mr. Roper.
Mr. Roper is referred to as George.
The sets are entirely different than in the eventual series.
| The character of Zoey, who Jenny and Samantha interview about being a roommate, is like the early version to the Patricia Crawford in the eventual aired pilot.
| In this pilot, it's Samantha (the blonde) who is finicky about living with a man, while in the eventual series, it was Janet (the brunette) who was concerned about this.

| (about David in the bathtub full of water)
Samantha: We can't just leave him in there!
Jenny: Yeah, then he'll get all small and pruny...
| (about why it wouldn't be good to have David living with them)
Samantha: But what if he's a sex fiend?
Jenny: Then we won't charge him as much!
| Mrs. Roper: Mr. Roper had a very hard time in World War II...it's not easy being a gardener in a Japanese prison camp.
|

| Samantha and Jenny do not seem the least bit shocked or concerned that there is a strange man lying in thier bathtub!
