Hit 70's tv sitcom Three's Company revolved around three single roommates: Jack Tripper, Janet Wood, and Chrissy Snow, who all platonically live together in a Santa Monica, California apartment complex owned by Stanley and Helen Roper. The show chronicles the escapades and hijinks of the trio's constant misunderstandings, social lives, and financial struggles. A top 10 hit from 1977 to 1983, the series has remained popular in syndication and through DVD releases.

The Roper Romp is a costumed bar crawl based on Mrs. Helen Roper (played by actress Audra Lindley), the wisecracking, caftan-wearing, love-deprived wife of landlord Stanley Roper (Norman Fell). The romp began in 2013 as a Million Mrs. Roper March of men and women wearing caftans and curly red wigs during a New Orleans parade. Today, there are countless Mrs. Roper Romp/Bar Crawl groups all over the world, with one held just last month in New Paltz (Ulster County).
