Chrissy (
Suzanne Somers) lands a date on the same night she is to babysit. Not unexpectedly, Jack (
John Ritter) and Janet (Joyce DeWitt) end up taking care of the kid. Also not unexpectedly, the evening ends in a near disaster. "The Baby Sitters" is one of a handful of second-season episodes based on a storyline lifted from
Three's Company's British sitcom prototype
Man About the House (in this case, the original episode was titled "Two Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
