8 simple rule be a funny show but it also have some life lesson especially one mature lesson about move on after a lose which be the episode where paul die which be the first episode i have ever watch of the show that come on abc . the hennessy clan mother cate ( katey sagal ) and daughter bridget ( kaley cuoco ) and kerry ( amy davidson ) and and son rory ( martin spanjers ) look to one another for guidance and support after the death of paul ( john ritter ) and the family patriarch . cate parent ( james garner and suzanne pleshette ) lend a hand . i be glad later in the 2nd season of this show they decide to put david spade in this show since he be do with the nbc series and just shoot me . but all and all this show be pretty good . this show remind me a lot of the classic family sitcom from the 80 and 90 that use to be on abc .
