Best of 8 Simple Rules (All Seasons)

Are you talking about The Big Bang Theory? if so, how would you explain the success it had all around the world and the top sit com in the USA for several years with billions of fans world wide. Are they wrong and you are right? I loved it from start to the best ever ending for a TV show. For me it was easily an equal to Friends. I loved both shows.

I think it would have lasted five or six seasons like "Reba". I miss this family dynamic on entertainment nowadays... this sitcom in particular was very clever and Ritter pulled the wacky, worried, lovable dad like no one at the time.

[@davidross5593]

I dont know about rest of the U.S. This show, "According to Jim", "Less than Perfect" and "Im with Her" were the perfect quad comedy in early 2000s on prime time one night a week in a great 2 hour block of time.

A few observations: 1. Paul Hennessy had 8 simple rules about his daughters because he remembered how guys like Jack Tripper and Larry Dallas were with other people's daughters. 2. Paul was a great TV dad. 3. James Garner filled in nicely as Grandpa after Ritter passed away. 4. Rory was hilarious. I wish I had 2 older sisters like he did to torment. But he was lucky to have them to help him get girls like hot Megan.

John Ritter was A Natural at Comedy unlike so Many Other's, who all had too Work at it. Man I Missed it when He Passed Away & it Seemed too leave a Large Void, for quite Some time afterwards.
