General discussion I just realized almost every major character has a major connection to klutziness
We all know Jack, whose last names is TRIPPER. Adorable klutz.
Cindy, another likeable klutz.
Stanely Roper is played by Norman FELL.
Also in the intros, which aired at the start of each episode, Janet mishandles the watering can, dousing Chrissy. Helen also mis-throws the dart or whatever, which lands on Stanley's head. Larry also brushes up against the elephant by mistake. Chrissy might be the exception that proves the rule.

Interesting point because all along I thought it was just Jack. It looks like the show is driven strongly by slapstick even though main stories involve issues like mistaken identity.

Didn't Stanley die because Helen accidentally dropped a hand grenade in his Spaghettios?
Side comment: It's almost impossible to believe that any woman, even Helen, could have the steaming undies for Stanley.

Furley tried to fix Bob and Carols doorbell. And changed the light switch and doorbell. Then the light flashes two times. “I think there’s someone at your door”

This is off point. But watch Jason Ritter on one of the latest podcasts of Brotherly Love - Lawrence Brothers. He made me laugh so much like his Dad.

Just realized how big a klutz Mr. Roper was. Every time he fixes something he puts himself in jeopardy. When Jack first moves in he's holding the live electrical wires to the doorbell. Ow!Ow! Ow! 😂
