What happened to television's funniest Landlords? The Mertzes and The Ropers!

I Love Lucy was one of America's first sitcoms, and thanks in part to Fred and Ethyl Mertz, the loony landlords, it remains one of the funniest. Twenty years later, we met the Ropers, who put a new spin on outrageous. Meet the actors behind these hilarious duos!

Lucy was my favorite Actress. I love watching her shows. I love the movies she has been in.I love all the old shows and I miss all of the one's I grew up with. It is sad so many people passed away.

Three's company was based on a British show. The British Ropers spin off was very successful not just in Britain, Australia and New Zealand but also in dubbed versions in both Spain and Italy.

I'm not sure who's doing the narration on this video, but she's great. A little bit of personality, together with a soothing voice

They're not actor's...
They weren't acting..
On any response.
They're entertainers.
They loved to see others laugh and smile.
That's what entertainment is.
In the respect.
Of these and other entertainers .
Thank you for your time to entertain us and put a smile in my heart.
