did anyone see "8 simple rules for dating my daughters" show tonight ?? so emotional ..:bawling:

Ah, I missed it, what happens?

oh they talked about John's death .... i only watched 1/2 part because I was crying like crazy :(

I watched about 10 minutes way to depressing.

I watched the entire thing... I think it was the most emotional show I've ever seen. It had somewhat of a "happy" ending though.

I thought it was a really nice way to end his character on the show with respect to the real person. I'm sure a lot of emotion went into that episode with very little "acting".

I grew up watching TC and idolising Ritter. He was definately the Jim Carrey of his generation.


I wanted to watch it, but was too busy, and also knew that it would be tear jerking.

I cannot believe I missed most of it. I hope they will do a replay of it.

Rylee: what happened at the end ?? i couldn't continue to see the show because it was too emotional. :(

Well the wife was going to bed, then the oldest daugther came in and asked to sleep in the bed with her..

After that the other two ended up coming in - they read his last article, which was about how much he loved his family, and how much he knows his kids/wife love him.

The mother and kids ended up sleeping together that night..was a pretty good ending

The best part about the end was when Cate was reading the last article, it made mention that when your child tells you that they "hate you" an "I love you" is not far behind (The oldest daughter was feeling guilty because the last thing she told her dad was that she hated him.):bawling:

fivealive: thanks for the info ;)

During the hour in various combinations, all the characters grieved, reminisced and paid tribute - and what they said often seemed to apply as much to Ritter as Paul Hennessy.

While his gramps did an emergency repair on the upstairs toilet, son Rory (Martin Spanjers) recalled how his dad retreated to the bathroom when a column deadline was pressing.

"Once in a while Mom would knock on the door to make sure he didn't fall in," Rory said.

Then Cate sat with her daughters in a lonely bedroom.

"You know what his last words to me were? 'Hasta la vista, baby!' Such a cornball," she laughed.

"You know what I'm going to miss about Dad?" said Kerry (Amy Davidson). "Those bogus pancakes he used to make. Like eating Tupperware covers."

"Pancake mix and water!" said Bridget (Kaley Cuoco). "How do you mess that up?"



The cast of 8 Simple Rules is reported to be on the cover with the title "Life After John" in a TV Guide exclusive. The cast talks about how they are coping with this devastating loss. It's on newsstands this week (November 4th it hits the stands?).

Yeah, it was a great episode; I was crying and probably one of the most emotional episodes of TV I've watched. Coming in 2nd is the last episode with Dr. Greene of ER.

I've never watched the show, but I always did like the original 'rules' (as the father of a single daughter):

8 SIMPLE RULES FOR DATING MY DAUGHTER
by: W. Bruce Cameron
Copyright 1998 W. Bruce Cameron

Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind will kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five: In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romance or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Yes, that was very emotional. However, the one that still hits number 1 for me is when Detective Bobby Simone of NYPD Blue died. That was an emotinal episode.

Mark

Well, the show must go on.

RIP John.
