Does anybody remember these with John Ritter? When I was younger, they were my favorite movies.

Yes, I watched them when I was younger. I loved Michael Richards as the "Bow-Tie Killer"

I don't really remember the 2nd one all that much and I never saw the third one Junior in Love.

I used to love those movies. USA used play them a lot. I never saw the third movie either.

I own the first two on DVD. The third one, I believe was a made-for-TV film, and it had all different actors, except for Gilber Gottfried.

You guys are lucky that you never saw the third movie - it was awful, awful, awful. The only returning cast members were Gilbert Gotfried and Jack Warden as Grandpa. William Katt took over Ritter's role, I like Katt, but he's no John Ritter. There was also no mention of what happened to Amy Yasbeck's character, she just ceased to exist if I recall correctly.

The first two films were wonderful. John and Amy had such amazing chemistry. Not suprising they fell in love in real life as well :love:

I saw the third one and it was indeed horrible. Not to be picky, Emily, but Jack WARDEN was the grandpa.

You know I meant Warden, was determined not to type Weston, and did it anyways :lol:

Yes, Problem Child 3: Junior in Love was a made-for-tv film in 1995.
It's not released on DVD in the US; but it came out on VHS shortly after the movie aired. The DVD is available overseas in Region 2 format.

It sounds to me like the equivalent of Home Alone 4 to the Problem Child series. A tv film that should have never been bothered with.

Problem Child 2 was funnier in my opinion. Wild stuff. Both are great films...didn't care much for the TV movie and the TV animated series.

Yeah, this one is quite unknown. It had some famous people involved; Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Adlon (of King of the Hill), and Brad Garrett.

Gilbert Gottfried did the voice for Mr. Peabody, making him the only person to appear in all Problem Child media.
