Sex & Nudity

  • At Mr. Furley's poker night, Larry brings girls and they suggest that the gang plays strip poker. Every member leaves the house unclothed except for one character (I don't want to spoil) however a cop catches Mr. Furley outside with a box covering his private parts.
  • Chrissy suggests that the gang should get a wallpaper with sleds on it. Janet says one time she was on a sled and held onto her brother from behind, so her brothers friend sat behind her the second time to hold on to her breasts. Chrissy doesn't understand at first but is shocked when she figures it out.
  • Jack kisses the girls on friendly terms frequently.
  • When men fall in love they usually stare at the woman's breasts. Jack usually falls for a girl in almost every episode. In one episode Jack must pretend that he's dating a transgender man.
  • The girls sometimes wear revealing clothing.
  • Janet and Mrs. Roper go to a nude beach which is interrupted by the police, scared they leave and are naked for the rest of the episode.
  • Larry is seen streaking in one episode, but no nudity is shown.
  • The roommates are sometimes seen in their underwear.
  • There are numerous sexual jokes throughout the series and they make up much of the plot but kids would not understand them.
  • The premise of the series is about two women and a man living in an apartment and tricking their landlords into thinking the man is gay. Jack is not allowed to live in the building if Furley finds out he likes women.
  • Jack often lusts for Janet, Chrissy and Terri, despite their agreement as roommates.
  • Supposedly, in one episode, Jack's scrotum was very briefly visible slipping from the bottom of his boxer shorts; although this was never confirmed, the scene was ultimately deleted from syndicated broadcasts as well as DVD releases.
  • The episode "Jack's Tattoo" revolves around Jack wanting to get a tattoo on his rear removed, and when Janet and Terri ask him about he shows it to them, and also accidentally moons Mr. Furley.

Violence & Gore

  • There is some slapstick violence when guys punch each other. It's usually supposed to be funny and there isn't blood or anything graphic.
  • Cindy Snow (Jenilee Harrison) is a very clumsy character who is seen injuring Jack Tripper causing him to drop various items
  • Cindy's schtick often involved blindly busting through a door to the chagrin of whoever was on the other side, most often Jack, Larry, or Mr. Furley. This was always presented in a slapstick manner.

Profanity

  • Sex and sexy is used sometimes on the show. Lay is used sexually in an episode
  • In season 1 episode 2, orgy is said twice
  • Use of "damn", " hell" and a few other insults preferably towards Jack by Mr. Roper and Mr. Furley who believe he is gay.
  • Sexual innuendos and suggestive dialogue is occasionally heard throughout.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Alcohol is sometimes consumed on the show
  • In one episode Jack takes tranquilizers and then drinks alcohol, causing him to act crazy
  • In one episode, the roommates mistakenly believe they found cannabis growing wild on the property. This is played almost entirely for laughs.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Janet and Jack think on of Terry's fellow workers is a psychotic patient. When he uses a knife to eat he then gets up and holds it up at Jack and Janet as if he wants to kill them. He politely gives it back to Jack, however they still think he is a psychopath.
  • Some may find the relationship between Helen and Stanley Roper a bit harsh, but it's mostly played for laughs.
  • The episode "Friends and Lovers" may be too intense and emotional for some viewers because it is written to be heartbreaking.
