8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenager Daughter will be one of those hidden gems of television; a fantastic ipakita with poignant stories that, unfortunately, will never be discovered sa pamamagitan ng most telebisyon viewers. I have never been a big tagahanga of sitcoms with laugh tracks but this quickly become one of the few shows that made me laugh heartedly along.
Then came the death of John Ritter.
I don't believe I have ever cried as much as when I watched the episode "Goodbye", the tragic episode that incorporated Ritter's untimely death into the Hennessy family. It was so emotionally horrible. There were several times when I got so caught up in the ipakita that I would forget about the real-life death and wonder why they weren't using new scenes as flashbacks. But then awareness came crashing back and I would realize that they couldn't, that Ritter himself had died, and a new wave of tears started to flow.
But looking at that time, I think that the ipakita handled his death admirably, even amazingly. Never (that I can think of) has telebisyon handled this agonizing subject matter, the early death of a parent and a spouse, so well. While Buffy's episode "The Body" too reflects the rawness, 8 Simple Rules showed both that sorrow continues beyond just one araw and that laughter will return. I hope that I will never experience this loss for a long long time, but 8 Simple Rules gave me hope, even if it were to occur.
Finally, the additions of David pala as Cate's nephew and James Garner as Cate's father were brilliant casting choices. David pala has aged well in his comedic talent and so his never-grown-up act, while once the speciality of also-deceased comic legend Chris Farley, works well in the Hennessy family dynamic with CJ's own bildungsroman. And Grandfather Jim (James Garner) tries his damndest to become the rock that Paul was while still preserving his memory.
And so ... these are most of my reflections on 8 Simple Rules. Too bad this fantastic show's emotional well had to come from the sacrifice of the comedic legend John Ritter. R.I.P. Mr. Ritter.

The pagtatalo that still goes on today is if 8 Simple Rules should have been cancelled right after the "Goodbye" episode.
In my opinion, I think it was the right decision to keep the ipakita going because 8 Simple Rules is my absolute paborito show. Even though the death of John Ritter was really sad, and the ipakita was never really as funny when he was gone, but to me, the ipakita wasn't terrible with the add of James Garner and David Spade.
What do you think? Should the ipakita have ended with the "Goodbye" episode, or have kept' going, like it did?
