I think the reason for this was because this was during the times where unmarried men and women living together was heavily frowned upon. There was a episode where Janet's parents came to visit and her and Jack pretended to be married.

Some people on the show really didn't have a problem with it. Like Mrs Roper. In the second episode, she finds out that Jack wasn't gay, but keeps it a secret from her husband. And I don't think Mr Furley would have had an issue if he actually knew that Jack wasn't gay. He was the landlord, however it was his brother that owned the building and Furley explained that his brother wouldn't allowed an unmarried man to live with two women. However Furley didn't really like his brother, so he could have also been a secret keeper like Mrs Roper.

Yeah, I knew that. Probably shot the first episodes in 1975.

A bit weird when you think a TV show had that element in it damn near 50 years ago and yet today things still aren't ironed out.
