sadly and 8 simple rule and for date my teenage daughter and be the last sitcom that john ritter get to work on after his tragic death in 2003. he be one of my all time favourite actor . he have it all and comedy ( who can forget him in three company ) but he be also an excellent dramatic actor ( unforgivable worth watch tv movie ) a much i love all the other cast member of the show ( katey and amy and kaley and martin ) john be the star and he be much of the reason i be draw to the show in the first place and and it be his perfect comedic delivery that be able to crack me up each and every time . i love how the show wasn not all sugary sweet ( as much a i love the cosby show and come on and they be too nice to each other lol ) they portray the typical family dynamic brilliantly . it be realistic enough what with all the sibling rivalry and the squabble between parent and but they still keep it funny . a lot of american sitcom try and fill the show entirely with moral and what not and and this show do not do that . yes and there be some and like tackle important issue and such a drug and bullying and but they do not try and be anything other than a fun family comedy . the way they write john death in to the show be brilliantly do and i still sob like a baby each time i see it . you could feel how raw the emotion be during those incredibly hard episode . i be sad the show be cancel and i still enjoy watch the rerun and and i never get tire of it . john ritter and you will always be remember for you hilarious depiction of this over protective father and who would rather lock his daughter up in their room than have them date a boy equal ) you rock ritter .
