I just heard this while listening to Coast To Coast AM. George Noory just received the info apparently from the news. At this time there is no information on his death. There should be more information in the upcoming hours on the news.

This is sad. Three's Company was one of my favorite sitcoms. He will be missed. :(

The AP Network news on the radio has just announced that Ritter died of a massive heart attack, just few days short of his 55th birthday (September 17th). :(

Wow. That really hits close to home. My grandpa died of a massive heart attack when he was only 64 in 1997. He was just barely past retirement age. Man, that really blows. :crying:

CNN just reported it on the air..

That would be correct, AAOT. I just got this off my hometown newspaper website

TV Star John Ritter Dies of Heart Problem

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- John Ritter, whose portrayal of the bumbling but lovable Jack Tripper helped make the madcap comedy series "Three's Company" a smash hit in the 1970s, has died, his publicist and longtime assistant said Friday. He was 54.

Ritter fell ill Thursday on the set of his ABC sitcom "8 Simple Rules ... For Dating My Teenage Daughter," said Susan Wilcox, his assistant of 22 years. The cause of death was a dissection of the aorta, the result of an unrecognized flaw in his heart, said his publicist, Lisa Kasteler.

Ritter died at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday,

Ritter, a Southern California native who lived in Beverly Hills, came to prominence for his role in "Three's Company" and had appeared in more than 25 television movies and a number of films.

Ritter, who would have turned 55 on Wednesday, made a successful return to sitcom acting with "8 Simple Rules" last year, and the ABC show was scheduled to begin its second season on Sept. 23.

At the Burbank hospital where he died, Ritter was accompanied by producers and co-workers, his wife, Amy Yasbeck, and 23-year-old son Jason, Wilcox said. He is survived by three other children, Carly, Tyler and Stella.

That's awful. Guys like John Ritter don't die. I honestly don't know what to say.

He was a very talented physical comic, and the world lost more than they're even aware of yet.

Oh my god.

When I saw this thread I thought Darkweaver was playing a very wrong, about to be locked, joke thread (sorry Darkweaver for thinking that!) This is such a UNBELIEVABLE shock.

I can't believe it. My mom told me as soon as I woke up to get ready for school. I'm shaking, hyperventilating and my head hurts. I just refuse to believe it, even though I know it's true. :(

I know. I was over in the "Big Daddy's Ace Lounge" thread and Mary and Holly were in there as well...I had just sent a post to that thread when Mary made a post and she was going "Oh sh.it don't tell me it's true" and Holly said the same thing...I was like WTF are you talkinga bout til I clicked on it...we ewre all shocked...we were all saying we ewre hoping it was a joke. :( :(

That's such a sad shock :( . We've lost so many great entertainers this year. I loved John Ritter. He was so cute and funny and far too young to leave us. Watching Three's Company reruns will never be the same now. One thing I can say about JR is I've never once heard anything bad about him. He was a good and decent person. Being the child of an entertainer it is difficult to establish your own reputation and John Ritter certainly became a star in his own right.

:crying: When I saw the title of this Thread I thought it was a Joke but I can't believe this, I'm in Shock and Johnny Cash Died also What a Bad day!

Thats what i thought... OMG, i am so freakin' shocked that i have no clue what to say. :( I loved John, he was one of my favorite actors and to young to die! :crying:

RIP John, you will be missed!

Omg! I CANT BELIEVE THIS! I LOVE 8 SIMPLE RULES!!! RIP John, You will be missed :(

Now that he is gone, i wonder what will happen to 8SR. :( They will probably cancel it. Which sucks since it is my favorite TV show.


This really blows ass. I am so pissed at God for taking John away from us! :mad:

Well, they really have no choice. You can't have 8 Simple Rules without John Ritter. Hopefully, they'll air the episodes that have been filmed, though.

True, it wouldn't be the same without John. I never liked Amy Yasbeck, but my heart goes out to her. I believe he was the love of her life and my heart goes out to his kids. :(

:eek: This was shocking, and very sad news. Man, he was too young! I wonder how the rest of the cast of 8 Simple Rules took it.

I heard this on the radio at three this morning while I was trying to fall back asleep. Needless to say, I didn't for a while. I heard at the same time Johnny Cash died as well. I could understand that, Johnny Cash wasn't in the best of health, but John Ritter was still too young.:(

When I woke up, I was told immediately "John Ritter has died".. and my heart stopped.. I was like "What?!!!! You've gotta be kidding"

It was so unexpected! My heart goes out to his family and the cast of 8 Simple Rules.

This is so sad. Im crying. :(. He was such a great public figure. Everybody loved him.

But, as for the future of 8SR, I think if someone in heaven asked him "John, do you want 8 Simple Rules to continue, even without you?", he will say "Yes, of course".

I totally agree. I was watching CNN about 20 minutes ago and they were talking to a man on there about John Ritter, and he was telling them that he and his sister met John Ritter when they were both kids, and he said that when he asked JOhn for his autograph, he said, "How about if I give you both handshakes instead? Autographs just dehumanize me," something along the lines of that. I thought that was nice. :(

This is awful! Both John Ritter and Johnny Cash are gone. I'm not surprised about Mr. Cash, but I loved the guy and his music. But John Ritter, wow. He was so young.

I hope Joyce Dewitt and Suzanne Somers now make up. Life's too short.

So do i. I have no idea what i'm going to do when Joyce dies. I'll probably kill myself since i love her to much to let her go.

I still can't believe John is dead, this is like a freakin' nightmare and i want to wake up from it and hear that John is alive and well!

:crying:

I thought about that too. I hope they do after this. :(

I was so hoping for a 3's Company reunion. :crying:

I just found out about both deaths this morning......I am so shocked and saddened.

R.I.P. John Ritter and Johnny Cash. :( :crying:

Oh my God, he was so young! R.I.P. John :(

This is such a shock! He will be greatly missed! RIP John!:(

That's exactly what it feels like to me a really bad dream. :(

Except it's not. I'm still in shock. John Ritter was always one of my favorite actors. He died way too young. :(

It's awful....I am so close to tears right now....my mom almost didn't tell my sister and me this morning because she knew how shocking it would be. He was so young. :( He'll be greatly missed.

This sucks. I can't believe he is gone. 3's Company was good, Problem Child movies were hilarious, and 8SR was a good show too.:(

wow.. and Johnny Cash died too... yesterday this is so sad!

I'm in shock! plain and simple.

How ironic! My husband and I just yesterday watched a biography of him on the Biography channel! Weird!:eek:

Yes, he was very young! 2 years older than me! :(

ohno: My mother came in my bedroom and woke me up to tell me. I love John!:( I, too, was hoping for a reunion and now that this has happened.. maybe Joyce and Suzanne can finally make up their differences. I loved John in everything he did. Its true that I wont be able to watch Threes Company the same now. :crying:R.I.P :heart:

Johnny Cash died too???

Yes, from complications of Diabetes. He was 71.

Wow, celebrities really do die in 3's. First Warren Zevon then Ritter and Cash.

It's just so hard to believe. I'm still hoping someone in the news is going to say "just kidding!" In Good Day L.A., Steve, Dorothy, and Jillian were getting teary-eyed as they spoke about him.

I feel so bad for his daughter. Her father died on her 5th birthday. I will pray for him, I wish him and his family the best.

My mom told me this when i got up. I couldn't believe it, i had tears in my eyes, its so so sad and thats too bad about Johnny Cash too. :crying:

Yeah it is great. Im glad tvland and N@N are both doing it.

OMG not John Ritter, he seemed so down to earth and so nice. I just thought he was one of the best comedic actors of our time. He was often imitated, but no one came close.

Two John's in one day, John Ritter, Johnny Cash, may they both rest in peace, My thoughts and prayers go out to their families

My mom told me this morning when I woke up, and I was just absolutely speechless. I can't believe that he is dead. I feel so much for his family and his little daughter Stella.

I was lucky enough to see him on Sunday at the ABC Primetime Weekend. He seemed like such a cool, awesome guy. I took a picture of him while he was in the Parade of Stars, and even though Katey Sagal's arm is blocking his face, I think I will post it anyway... :(

This is all so hard to believe and shocking.John Ritter will be missed,by many. :( :( :( :(

:( I'm still completely in shock...if I'm not crying, I'm bordering on it. I didn't think "John Ritter died" was a sentence I would have to hear for a long, long time.

I just went online a few minutes ago to another newsgroup and read this- so i checked here and imdb.com just in case it was a cruel joke. Three's Company never took off in the UK (it was a uk show b4) but the Problem Child movies were some of my favourite films as a kid-they were all so hilarious. He was back on top of his career, and his son had just began his own acting career. I'm kinda in shock now-it's so sad when an actor, especially one so talented and with a great career dies before his time. He seemed kinda like someone you cant imagine ever dying.
This has been a bad year-losing so many people, but this one is the saddest and most shocking.

That last line says it all for me.

I don't know what to say. I am absolutely shocked. It came out of nowhere.

Just a couple of weeks ago, he was on the Jerry Lewis telethon, within the first hour.

Although John Ritter will be known for his comedic roles, he was also believable in serious roles. His first TV role was a recurring role on the Waltons, as a baptist preacher.

What will happen to this TV show? Will Joyce & Suzanne make up?

Also sad reading that he died on his daughter's 5th birthday.

Also sad reading that he died on his daughter's 5th birthday

I hadn't heard that-this is all just so tragic, my thoughts are with his whole family-especially with his daughter-it must be the hardest thing in the world for that little girl to go through.
Everytime I see his death mentioned on different websites I feel real ill, it's very sudden. It will be interesting to see what will happen- when will his funeral take place? Also-I'm not a fan of 8 simple rules but I'm not sure what I'd want to happen if a star of my favourite sitcoms died.

I'm shocked. I was a huge fan of Threes Company! RIP, John, you'll be missed greatly.:crying:

My mom told me this morning before I went to school. I didn't believe her at first. I just said "Shut up. Don't even tell me that cuz he DIDN'T." Well, I went online and sure enough, John's left me. So, I printed off a pic and taped it to my folder and went to school. My friends could tell something was wrong, so they were all like, "What happened? What's wrong?" And I could help it. I cried.

R.I.P., John. I love you and I'll miss you.

I really thought I was dreaming. I still cannot believe it.

I just can't believe it. I was watching A&E and they had a commercial for Biography: Remembering Johnny Cash and John Ritter. I went "no - I know that's not what they meant." I figured Johnny Cash had gone, and by the way, they were going to show Biography of John Ritter. John Ritter can't die! He just got married four years ago! I checked on imdb, it's already up there, and I came straight here. I knew I'd find people that loved him just as much as I did.

I've always liked Amy Yasbeck (ever since Robin Hood: Men in Tights) and she and John seemed so completely in love - I don't know what this will do to her, I hope she's alright. I can't believe he's gone - it's so awful. :( :( :( Rest in peace, John, we all love you! :wave:

http://www.freshangles.com/images/5044.gif

I wonder how pavanbadal is holding up? I know he was a big fan.

You know what...I'm just really pissed off at God...if there even is one. Maybe he's punishing me because yesterday I said to my dad, "How do we know if we don't just die?" I'm just shocked. Watching Three's Company tonight, I'll probably get tears in my eyes. I just want this to be a bad dream. I want to wake up, and tell everyone what an awful dream I had. Everyone likes him. He's an awesome person and actor. It's true when they say bad things happen to good people. In social studies today, we were talking about current events and she asked about celebrity deaths and a bunch of kids said John Ritter, the guy on "Three's Company" and "I love that show" And I got that hard to breath feeling, like I'm getting right now. :( :( :(

I found out Earlier today he Died. I'm actually still in shock. He wasn't old enough to die. RIP John. :crying: I didn't know too much about him but I saw him in a few shows. He was A areally funny person. He will be missed dearly :crying: :(

:( sad news. i really like 8 Simple Rules. John was a great actor.

This is really sad. I never expected that someone like John Ritter could die so young. It just doesn't seem possible. :( :(

Just so you guys know, A&E is showing his Biography tonight at 9pm.

Yeah i heard about that earlier. Very shocking and sad. :(

I heard my Mom talking about it this morning, but I figured she had gotten him mixed up with someone else. Sadly... that wasn't true.
He was a great guy. I was just watching "Three's Company" the other day too. Everyone he worked with loved having him around. John was a great guy and actor. He is greatly missed by many.

I first heard the sad news at 4am and then a few minutes later I heard about Johnny Cash passing away. This has truly been a sad day. My thoughts and Prayers go out to John Ritter and Johnny Cash's family and friends, we have lost 2 great Icons of there respected perfessions.

John Ritter and Johnny Cash will be greatly missed by all. :crying: :crying:

I just found out on Inside Edition. I saw a little thing at the beginning showing John and I had no idea that he died. Then is said JOHN RITTER 1948-2003 and I was just shocked! I just started sobbing hysterically and ran into the other room to tell my mom. She didn't believe it either and I turned on the TV. I've never cried like this when a celebrity has died. It's just so hard to believe.

I cant believe he's dead, i first heard about it on Good Morning America....he and Johnny Cash. RIP:(

To all the fans of either John R. or Johnny C. : I'm really sorry, and I'll be thinking about them, their families, and their fans. They both accomplished so much in life and will forever be remembered.

This is so sad. I couldnt believe it when I first heard. I liked him. He was a great actor and he had a great personality. He was so young though. But I think that he lived everyone's dream and he touched the lives of so many people. Maybe it was just time. His time. RIP John. :(

I think too many people in heaven were fans of his - they just couldn't wait any longer to have him. Now he's up there performing with Bob Hope and Gregory Hines. :)

:( This is REALLY sad. I'll miss him a lot!

I really can't believe this. I was on the bus this morning and the radio was on. At first they mentioned Johnny Cash and then they're like, "John Ritter has died b/c of a heart condition" and I'm like..."...what?!" And I was like, "Caitlin! WHAT THE HELL DID THEY JUST SAY?!?!" and she's like..."Johnny Cash just died..." and I'm like..."No..the other thing!" and she just shrugs. And I'm like, "OMG!! THAT CAN'T BE TRUE! That's the guy on Three's Company, right?!?!?" and this senior next to me who like never talks she's like, "Yea, he was on there he also has that new show" and I'm like, "OMG!! HE CAN'T BE DEAD!!!"


I'm in shock. I never really watched Three's Company and I couldn't watch 8SW (even tho I wanted to) b/c I'm a Gilmore Girls junkie. But I've seen him in a movie and I've always liked him...I really can not believe he's dead. I'm upset. My heart goes out to his family and even you guyz here, b/c I KNOW you guyz are taking this worse then I am.

R.I.P John

My mom DIDN'T tell us. I was in Theatre and Mrs Kelly was like, "John Ritter died" and I just stared at her in shock and went, "Are you serious?" Obviously, she was. I would be all happy and then I'd THINK and I'd wanna start crying. It's so sad :crying:

RIP, John Ritter. You will be greatly missed by many.

Usually I'm not really touched by a celebrities death-I usually just pay my respects and all because I respect most people working in the acting field. I've never even seen Three's Company-but after seeing how many people remember John for it I'm gonna try see it. But it's all so sad-I wasn't a big fan like I would be of ellen or lithgow- but reading the aint it cool news obituary makes me feel really really depressed and sad. He was a good man. I used to believe you died when you'd acheived everything you wanted and could do-but it seemed like he had so much more to offer-even from 8 simple rules he had been in 2 movies, one at sundance and one yet to come out-Bad Santa, so he probably could've had another excellent shot at movies, just like 8 simple rules gave him another excellent period in television. What makes it worse is in the UK no one appreciates acting or anything-especially where I'm from-so no one understands why I feel so bad when some actors die, these kind of real surprise deaths always make me question mortaility-I hate that whole feeling, it's morbid-he lived a life of comedy, but it's too hard to smile now.

I couldnt believe it when it was on the news this morning- he was so young! :( :( :(

He'll be missed. The entertainment industry has suffered yet another great loss.

Has anyone seen "Dreamer of Oz"? It was a TV movie he made w/ Annette O'Toole, I watched that earlier today.

No I haven't, but I really want to. I saw the other movie they made together, Stephen King's "It" and in the commentary John mentions that movie and how good of friends he and Annette O'Toole were.

Here's a pic of John with his beautiful wife, Amy Yasbeck.

You should definitely try to see it. John was hilarious on that show. In fact, the whole cast was brilliant. I remember watching TC every week while I was growing up and still remember the series finale.

I just posted this on the TC board..:crying:

I still can't believe this. It messed up my entire day. I went downstairs this morning and my mom told me. This is so tragic....especially because he was fine before and he just suddenly died of a heart attack. I'll never be able to watch my Three's Company tapes the same way again. I'll think "Oh, John's so funny, there should be a TC reunion!" Now, that's impossible. I'll miss his work and him too. He is so talented, which is why he is my favorite actor out of all the actors on Three's Company. He's the most talented, IMO. Rest in peace, John.

Oh wow..I still can't believe I just said that. I'm still in a state of shock. *sigh* Tonight, I'm going to watch as many of my TC tapes as I can, of course, those themed around Jack though.

John Ritter is such a talented actor and comedian and he will always be remembered. :crying:

What specials about John are you going to watch?

I think I'll plan on watching Larry King Live with Suzanne Somers and the 20/20 special. John Ritter's biography also airs at 9pm but I think that Larry King Live will be more interesting, imo.

We love you Jhon

This all just seems too unreal,like a nightmare.It's just too awful. :( :crying:

I've been depressed all day because of this. It's just so sad, he was only 54. He was a brilliant physical comedian. He will be rembered as long as people love good tv. Three's Company would have never survived without John Ritter.

God rest your soul, John

Me too. I can't stop crying. :crying:

I've been so sad today. I learned about his death at around 7:00AM. I was hoping that it wasn't true - after all, I had only seen CNN/Good Morning America scrolling it on the bottem. But when I came home, I saw some reporters talking about it on TV. It really sank in then.

John Ritter was such a great actor and seemed like one of the nicest people in Hollywood. I feel very sorry for his friends and family, since they lost him at such a young age and at such a bad time (9/11 is his daughter's b-day and 9/12 is his wife's birthday).

He was way too young...way too young.

I'm sitting here with my candles lit. He was awesome.
I'm gonna miss him so much. :crying:

I think I'll plan on watching Larry King Live with Suzanne Somers and the 20/20 special. John Ritter's biography also airs at 9pm but I think that Larry King Live will be more interesting, imo.

waht channel is Larry King Live on ? And what time is it gonna be?

Larry King is on CNN.

It'll be on at 8PM CDT, 9PM EDT.

Ugh these avatars are really getting to me...and all this "rest in peace" stuff cuz it still hasn't clicked in my mind that my favorite classic television actor is dead. :crying:

Thank you much.

I had a "John Ritter" day. Kinda. I watched 7 episodes of Three's Company, and 1 ep of 8SR.

I made a John Ritter collage for my room, and posted here.

I miss him.

Ugh, Larry King's starting and Suzanne is on the phone :crying:

This is such a shocker. even though I am not a TC or 8SR fan, he ill be missed.:(

:eek: Oh man...this quote really got to me...

Suzanne: Audra's gone...Norman's gone...now *sighs* John's gone.

Man, this is a huge loss. I have been in shock all day at school. I'm adding "RIP John" to my sig now. :crying: :crying:

:( That was really sad. Not to mention I was really looking forward to watching 8SR this year. I skipped last season because I was a That 70s Show fan, but Im not into it as much anymore and would rather watch 8SR. *sigh* Its so sad.

That was a sad interview. Henry, Richard and Priscilla looked so sad.:(

Everytime I read this thread my mood changes. I get all sad and it's hard for me to breath. I just can't believe it. :(

I've seen the news that he died. I watched "Full House" in an episode called "You Pet It, You Bought It" and it has a "Three's Company" theme song on it. I watched it in honor of him. That was sad that he's gone but not forgotten.

I, like everyone else, was in total shock. I wasn't expecting this at all. It's been a really bad year for celebrity deaths.

Ill say it has. More Celebrites I Know have died this year than any other year in Recent Memory. :(

Alright this might sound stupid but I'm on such a John high...everything I'm thinking about now has to do with him...so I have an idea. How about on September 17th, we throw a birthday party in honor of John on the random posts board? And we can all talk about stuff he's done and TC and 8SR and all that stuff...cuz I never even knew there were so many fans. So, anyone agree with me?

Definately. If I can't go into the past and prevent this from happening, I can at least go to a party thread dedicated to him. :(

Yeah I remember that episode, it wasn't a dog though. It was a donkey named Shorty.

And yaaaay I'll post that thread probably the night of September 16th, cuz I don't get home from school til really late and I still have homework and stuff, but I'll definitely try to post.

I'm gonna go watch 20/20 now. I hope it's not too sad. :(

It's a great idea! I'll definately be there. I think we all to some extent, feel like we've lost a member of our family. We all loved him - and we've all got stories/memories to share. :)

I'm watching 20/20 now. I like to see John Ritter's passing of a sitcom star. I like the "Full House" one with the "Three's Company" theme song by Uncle Jesse and the guys, I want to see it again.

I...still can't believe it. I mean, I'm looking at all these avatars and it's like..."OMG...he's really dead...this person I watched in a movie earlier this year..." it's insane. I really liked him. To me, he was the type of person that just...wouldn't die. Now, I mean, 90 years old...lil ol man...yea...I could handle that. But OMG...this is insanity.

I'll never believe it...I can't believe it.

I've been really messed up about this, not only does my idol die but this afternoon at 3:00 my next door neighbor and best friend shot herself in the head. :crying: Today really sucks.

RIP John and Gracie. I'll never forget you.

I'm so broken about all of this because in 2001 my other friend Rachel commited suicide. It's like everyone that i loves dies. :crying:

Dorothy, I'm sorry for you losses,too. I guess we've all lost someone today, havn't we? :(

I know, it's making me mad. I don't want to see Christina Aguilera dancing "dirty". I don't care about that. John Ritter diserves a great tribute.

My mind still does not get it that John is dead. I feel like i'm trapped in a fu:censored:cking nightmare.

I also can't believe Gracie is dead, i don't think i should go to her funeral. :crying:

Oh goodness..for the first time all night I'm sort of laughing. "Hooker-wear?" ahaha..well, in a few minutes I'll be sad, so I guess I should enjoy this.

IT'S ON NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be back shortly. I hope this is meaningful..

If I am a "Full House" fan and an episode I saw with Uncle Jesse singing "Three's Company", coming up next on 20/20 is John Ritter, a passing of a TV sitcom.

Oh wow...I'm gonna miss him so much :crying: that clip they showed of him being interviewed by Barbara Walters in 1980 of how he'd like to be remembered..oh that really got to me.

By the way, did they had a clip from "Full House" where John Stamos was singing the "Three's Company" theme as a tribute to him?

(Me too...the autograph thing)

I heard about it on the radio this morning, and at first I thought it was Don Knotts, then they said it was John Ritter. Oh my god....my mom and I are still in shock. He was like a second Mr. Rogers to me...:crying: I used to watch Three's Company all the time. It's just not going to be the same anymore. RIP John Ritter. You will be very much missed. :(

No, and btw, I remember that ep very well and it wasn't a tribute to him. The whole plot was that Uncle Jesse had the Three's Company theme song stuck in his head but couldn't remember the words. So he tried and tried, but all he could remember was "Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you." Then he said "We've got a thing and a thing and another thing"......."Three's Company too." Then, later in that episode when Michelle buys the donkey, it doesn't stay quiet unless Uncle Jesse sings the Three's Company theme song (or what he knows of it at least) and then by the end, the whole cast sings the song together and they finish the part Uncle Jesse couldn't remember.

I just want to reach into the TV and hug him lol.

I have the movie "Stay Tuned" which they spoof a sitcom called "Three's Company", did you ever seen that movie with that spoof?

LOl, this episode is so funny, Im dying. But every time I laugh, I get a little teary eyed. Its bittersweet.

I think I should have been born in the 70s.

OMG. JT just brought up a great point to me...I will never, ever, ever be able to watch the episode of Three's Company where Jack pretends to be dead. John in a casket...and now, it's for real...:eek: :faint: :crying:

I'm still pretty much in shock. When my brother told me about it I thought he was pulling my leg. I mean it just seemed so impossible. I wouldn't believe until I went on the internet and checked. I have a tape of TV theme songs so I played the Three's Company theme as my own tribute. In fact I'm watching Three's Company right now and I'm about ready to cry.:crying:

Same here..I love this episode. Especially when Larry and Jack are at Arabella's apartment and Larry is singing, then suddenly he has to cough, so Jack does too. It cracks me up every time, and I laughed at it again just before but it felt so weird to.

I'm watching the ep. "A Crowded Romance" where Jack falls for the Bunny/Twinkie girl, and so does Larry. :lol:

Jack Tripper is so sweet. He cares for his roommates so much, but also respects others. "Strangers in the Night" gets to me every time, especially when Jack says his famous "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" line. I bet John was like that too...

I just saw Jenillee Harrison on Fox news. That was sad. The only ones I haven't seen today are Joyce Dewitt and Don Knotts.:(

Thanks for posting that, I've been looking for some nice quotes said by him or said about him.

Henry Winkler on Entertainment Tonight was so sad. :crying:

"I'm shocked and heartbroken and so sad for his family. I cannot find words to express my sorrow -- such a great loss to the joy in the world." -- actress Joyce DeWitt.

"I learned so much from him. ... He was the best physical comic I've ever watched." -- actress Suzanne Somers.

Poor Joyce, i wish i could be with her to console her. :( I have no idea what i'm going to do when she dies. it will be so hard. :crying:

I think John was one of the best actors of the '70s. He was "Three's Company" (although Joyce was also outstanding).
Even as a 16-year-old in 1977 watching his show, I realized what a good actor he was.

I keep thinking of all the ladies he kissed on TV for some strange reason..:o...I don't know why...Like, "He kissed those ladies on the lips and he'll never be able to kiss them again" Weird, I know... :o I think of the strangest things sometimes.

On GDL they re-showed the the clip from last year when they visited the set.. I remember having the day off and being able to catch that one and got all excited to see John back on a show. *sigh*

Thank you :D I wanted one that no one else would have.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I really want this day to end so it can begin to set in. Just so it's not such of a shock tomorrow... anyone else know what I mean? Kinda like, when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be fresh and I can laugh again.

I know what you mean. :-/ The VERY weird thing is, I was just about to write to John Ritter requesting an autographed pic from him...I wish I had done that earlier. :(

Have you tried StarArchive.com for celeb addresses?

I keep thinking of all the ladies he kissed on TV for some strange reason..:o...I don't know why...Like, "He kissed those ladies on the lips and he'll never be able to kiss them again" Weird, I know... :o I think of the strangest things sometimes.

Yeah when Kaley Cuoco said shed never leave the show and Johns reaction, that got me really bawling.
