Spin Offs and Remakes
After the series ended in 1976, two successful spin-off series followed. These were Robin's Nest where Robin gets married and opens a bistro, and George and Mildred where the Ropers move to the suburbs. The format for Man About The House was sold internationally, and it was remade in the United States as Three's Company in 1977, in the Netherlands as Sam sam in 1994, in Sweden as En fyra för tre in 1996, in Norway as Tre på toppen in 1997, in Poland as Lokatorzy in 2000, in Portugal as Camilo, o Pendura in 2002, in Russia as Troe Sverhy in 2006, and in Ecuador as El Hombre de la Casa and in Chile as Tres Son Multitud, both in 2007.
The American Three's Company also spawned the same spin-offs as Man About the House had: Three's a Crowd! and The Ropers, based upon Robin's Nest and George & Mildred, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words spin and/or remakes:
“Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.”
—David Lehman (b. 1948)
“With spring the father-sky remakes the world:
The male shower has flowed into the bride,
Earth’s body; then shifted through sky and sea and land
To touch the quickening child in her deep side.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
