I'm not fond of the episodes where strangers impose on the trio, although this story by Baser & Weiskopf isn't as bad as some.  Seventy-five-year-old Leo Moran (O'Malley, who was in fact 75 at that point) stays in the apartment and does incredibly thoughtless things, like dig up Mr. Furley's roses and smoke in the cupboard and in Jack's bed.  I like the "why are you divorcing your roses" routine that Mr. Furley imagines Janet and Chrissy doing, Jack kicking out his girlfriend after she kicks out Leo (there'd be similar scenes where Jack would reject women who weren't as beautiful on the inside as out), and the girls confusing Jack in the tag by kissing him when he expects them to resist him like usual.
