1977-1984 ABC
The show was about a guy named Jack Tripper (John Ritter) who moved in with three women, Janet (Joyce DeWitt) and Chrissy (Suzanne Sommers) to split the rent, but in order for their landlord to believe nothing was going on between them, Jack had to pretend he was gay.
Suzanne Somers was fired from the show for demanding equal pay and replaced by Cindy (Jenilee Harrison), who was Chrissy's cousin, which only lasted a couple seasons before being replaced by Terri (Priscilla Barnes). The Ropers were the original landlords who left to do a spinoff and were replaced by Mr. Furley (Don Knotts). Jack's friend Larry (Richard Kline) was also added.

Eventually, they got rid of the conceit of Jack pretending to be gay. There was a character named Lana that got top billing for a few episodes, a cougar that chased after Jack, but they dropped her since they almost never used her.
