A tribute to John Ritter will fill the hour on Tuesday, September 16 rather than last season's season finale:

ABC 8:00 PM-9:00 PM SPECIAL EDITION OF PRIMETIME: A TRIBUTE TO JOHN RITTER (WORKING TITLE)

That's nice :) He deserves a tribute.

Will this be like ... an A&E Biography type of thing? Or will people come and talk about John? Or is it too early to know.

Thanks, I'll definitely check this out and hopefully get to tape it.

That's good to know, pavanbadal. But just how many episodes are going to air for the season?

Thanks for letting us know, I'll be sure to watch that.

Any word on if they're going to air the season premiere on the 23rd?

I heard it was delayed though. I wonder how long.

I'll certainly be watching, and probably crying my eyes out. Thanks alot for the info!

Last night's tribute was the highest rated show of the night with a 9.4/16.
Easily beat competing Whoopi/Happy Family and Big Brother at 8-9pm.

At 8pm-8:30pm it averaged a 8.8/15 for the half hour. It peaked at 8:30pm-9pm with a 10.0/16. Easily winning both half hours, averaging a 9.4/16. It should be in the top 5 for sure this week, behind the upcoming Emmy's and Monday Night Football.
As for adults 18-49, it had a 4.5 for 8-8:30pm and a 5.5 for 8:30-9pm, averaging a 5.0, easily #1 for the night.

I thought they were reairing it on VH1 last night at 11:00. When I turned to it, though, it was about Gospel Rock stuff.

So, was that wrong at all? And, if not, will VH1 reair it?

VH-1 re-aired the ET Special, not ABC. And it was 11PM ET. VH1 will be reairing the ET special a few more times, including tonight at 10PM (I think). Check VH1.com for more airtimes.
