Ralph Furley (played by Don Knotts) is the name of a fictional character from the sitcom Three's Company.
Mr. Furley was the landlord of a Santa Monica apartment building that was owned by his brother, Bart (who acquired it from Stanley Roper). It was home to Jack Tripper, Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow (later to Cindy Snow and Terri Alden). Furley fancied himself a "ladies man" and thought he was God's gift to women, despite the fact he had not had a date in years. He often wore outlandish leisure suits in very loud colors. Another detail of this was that he was almost always seen wearing an ascot.
For his role as Mr. Furley, Knotts donned a toupee. In addition, his performances were so uproarious that his lines had to be truncated to shorten the amount of audience laughter in each episode. Debatebly, he created "The Three's Company experience."
