Three's Company - S1 E6 - It's Only Money

Three's Company
Season 1
Episode 6
It's Only Money


Overview
With their rent money stolen, Jack, Janet, and Chrissy try to avoid Mr. Roper. This is also the end of the first season. The show was a mid-season premier that was picked up for a full season the following fall.

Physical Comedy
  • It's a minor gag but Jack's heavy breathing face is hilarious.
  • Jack jumping into the bathroom like a frog.
  • Jack's "bathing suit."
  • Jack and the banana. You just know something's coming.


STEM
When their rent money was stolen, my first thought was just like everybody else, that somebody left the door unlocked. But I quickly began to wonder if somebody picked the lock. It didn't look like there was a deadbolt on the door, so it would have been a simple door knob lock to bypass.

Of course we learn later the lock wasn't picked, but I'm now wondering about new technology being used to bypass old technology. For example, a simple picture of your key could allow somebody to use a 3D printer to print a copy of your key. So has the modern 3D printer made it easier to bypass a simple door lock? Or is picking a lock faster?
