Come here and say one last goodbye to John Ritter and hold his family in mind and prayers. John, you da man, we'll never forget you......

that show is dumb because rules and daughters just dont go together.

That was pretty sad. Wonder how the other actors felt about his death.

I'm sure they threw a party.

Long Live Fred the Spanyard

In the show, didn't they say now the dad is dead? That's pretty sick, if you ask me, to patronize John's death like that.

Just how did they explain the character's death?

I will have you know it is one of the highest-rated shows on ABC & it took away first place in all the Nielson ratings last night. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes....The dad is dead....they covered that already.

How else were they to write him out of the show? IMO, it was a VERY touching and VERY well-written episode. The ratings from last night shows it, too.

They only mentioned it once...he collapsed in aisle 3 of the grocery store...They didn't really talk about how Paul died, because they were moping the entire episode.

That was 1 hour of the most boring TV in the world. Ritter would've probably wanted them t continue. Bah... I predict this show gets canned this season.

I thought it was a good episode...pretty touching.

At first I thought it was messed up that they kind of "capitalized" on his death, but then I realized that it was the only logical was to write him out of the show.

I agree with Green Yoshi... the way the show's going now, it's sure not to last. I mean, Ritter was practically the main character.
