John Ritter from Three's Company and Katey Sagal of Married With Children were teamed as the Hennessys in 8 Simple Rules For Dating M Daughter. John Ritter's sudden death took the heart from this show sadly although they carried on with a bunch of new episodes with James Garner as Sagal's father tried to carry on.
Watching 8 Simple Rules I couldn't help thinking that the wolfish Jack Tripper from Three's Company was just the kind of man that Paul Hennessy from this show would have been warning his daughters about.
The daughters are the popular Kaley Cuocco and the scholarly Amy Davidson. He watches them like a hawk, there isn't a member of the male species that he doesn't view as predator material. Sagal just rises above it all.
Ritter could have really burlesqued the part, but he played it quite straight and the audience might laugh, but they felt his concern.
There was a younger son played by Martin Spanjers in the Hennessy household, but he was probably grateful the daughters got all the attention.
Tried as the producers could to keep it going, 8 Simple Rules had the heart knocked out of it when John Ritter died. Just one of those tragic things.
Treasure the surviving stories.
