During the credits at the end of each episode of "Three's a Crowd", it clearly
states that it is based on the British series "Robin's Nest".  In fact,
many of our sitcoms (especially ABC's) have been based on British shows
(Too Close For Comfort, Oh Madeline, etc.).  I'm sure someone on the net
can provide an exhaustive list.
