I watched, and got sad all over again  :'(

I grew up watching Three's Company, and along the way saw him in many other things too.  I didn't regularly watch "8 Simple Rules", but I did see 3 or 4 episodes of it last year and it always made me laugh.  I'm not too sure what to think of what they're doing with the show.  It seems a bit odd that they're going to go ahead and air the episodes already taped for this season.  And the whole deal with writing his death into the series...whew!  I guess it will be a first, so who knows how it will work out for ABC, but it seems a bit morbid to me, seeing as how the show was a sit-com.   Only time will tell, I guess!

:)I saw it.It's best to write the character's death into the series,rather than just to have another actor play him and have "no one" notice.But the special wa really well done.Cheers@!

I watched the special and it made me very sad, especially when they showed his friends and co-stars talking about what a great man he was.  :'(

Quoting:
I was watching an old episode of Three's Company last night and to-wards the end I was a bit taken aback.  The episode was of John Ritter's character (Jack Tripper) being harassed by a girl's bully boyfriend.  Jack's only way of dealing with the problem was to pretend that he was dead, so he stages a funeral.  It was a couple of lines that kind of got to me.  One line was when Larry or Mr. Furley was telling the bully boyfriend how he was "taken at such a young age" and the other line was said by Cindy that "it was his heart".  Kind of gives me goosebumps.  

I haven't seen The John Ritter Special yet (we get our programming a week later than everyone else over here) but when it does air I do plan on watching it.
