"Changes" -- The kids question Cate's motives when they return from their summer getaways and discover that she has bought a new bed and changed her hairstyle. Meanwhile, after traveling through Europe over the summer, Kerry met and had a fling with a boy - which leaves Bridget jealous and Kerry wondering what to do about boyfriend Kyle; new high school Student Body President Bridget is convinced even further that life is a popularity contest after taking a trip to Washington, DC over the summer; and after a depressed Jim fails to win back the affections of his wife in Florida, Rory attempts to help him quit smoking -- which is complicated by Jim's discovery that C.J. was responsible for their irreconciliation -- on "8 Simple Rules," FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

"8 Simple Rules" stars Katey Sagal as Cate Hennessy, Kaley Cuoco as Bridget Hennessy, Amy Davidson as Kerry Hennessy, Martin Spanjers as Rory Hennessy, with James Garner as Jim and David Spade as C.J.

"8 Simple Rules" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1-channel surround sound.

This program carries a TV-PG,D,L parental guideline.

Shouldn't this be the season premeire instead of it being the second episode of the season..makes no sense how can they go back to school and then have changes..it should be the other way around.

Or they should have edited it...

Watched the episode last night and I was not impressed. It looks as though the show is still struggling from John Ritter's death. I love Katey Segal and she is a great comic actress but I think her character could be a lot more funnier than they are making her to be.

I thought this episode was really funny!

Are we supposed to think that Kate and the kids had not seen each other until the First Day of School?

This episode was funny too , next week's looks funnier , and nice to see the ratings went up a bit.

I think it was good and Katey is working on being funny.:D

I thought this episode was very good.

i liked the episode, but i liked the season premiere better

Pav do you know what the original storyline was , because April did not star , and some of the pics I saw did not happen

Could it have been cut out?

they probably were

Did anyone notice CJ showing the Middle Finger
when Kerry told him she had sex with a guy in France ?

I thought it was good that they had Kerry have sex.
I mean realistically.... 66% of all teenagers have sex before graduating highschool.


Bridget gets more annoying as time goes bye....
but I enjoy the rest of the family. (Kate could be funnier though)

I'm a little bit shocked that Kerry was the first to lose her virginity before Bridget! :eek:

I hope Kerry was smart in using protection! I wonder if they will have an episode like Roseanne where one of the girls ask the mother to take her to the doctor to prescribe birth control.

Im not sure what it was like in the 90s.... but nowadays you can get birthcontrol from places like "Planned Parenthood" without your parents.
