I have watched now 3 episodes of the show.. and I have to say I ALREADY feel this legend feel for John! NOW that his career has a begining and end.. because of his death

watching 3's company.. now ! I felt like I was watching a comic legend from the past!! IN a GREAT way!!! :)

Just like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Lucille Ball..

He was always like this .. but NOW it is different :) WE are watching a Comic Legend with skills from the past.. that we dont see anymore.. !!

He was the last to embrace all these past skills.. all wrapped up into one person!

Watching the shows now.. they feel dated.. but I think this is a great thing now for this American Comic Icon which is John Ritter :)

** His Legend is going to even grow larger with time!

The Future looks great for the Praise of John Ritter and his skills as a Genius

:)

I haven't watched an episode yet but I'm sure it will feel strange. I'll be watching a lot of the shows that tv land is playing tomorrow so I'll know soon.

Whenever I watch Three's Company it reminds me of John Ritter's death. This is going to take some time to sink in. I don't plan on watching him for at least awhile. It saddens me to watch him after his death because he shouldn't have died at such an age that he was.

But I do agree . . . he's now a past legend and ranks right up there with the other great legends such as Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Carrol '0 Conner, Red Skelton, Bob Hope, and many, many others.

I watched last night at 3:30. Hes so funny on the show so he'd make me laugh and then I started crying cause I know hes not here to make us laugh anymore.:(

I watched them last night, and laughed.. but it sure didn't feel the same. The fact that he's no longer with us hasn't sunk in entirely. :(

It'll be difficult, but I do plan on watching TV Land's tribute to him tomorrow.

I agree.. one moment I feel like what I posted above.. BUT a few moments later I have this pain and he is gone :(

right now I can take his slap stick comedy of the show! but whenever it gets serious I feel so sad and my heart gets heavy & wants to break..

sometimes when I am watching it now... I can't look him in the eyes.. OR I watch and see the little expressions he makes to the other actors..

it is just a hard thing.. I am laughing at WOW.. there will never be another comic genius liek John Ritter.. look at his skill.. and just shake my head with awe.. :)

then a moment later when it is quiet and John is being serious and touching.. and am lost :(

** he made me feel like this when he was alive!! When I watch a few episodes I get choked up! when he was alive I did and how great his acting was..

** This morning I watch the one when Janet wanted to be a dancer and Michael told her she didn't have what is takes to be one..

then John says that line " Can I have this dance"..

THE whole crowd moans.. !!!! (where do you see that on TV? ???) NO where!

well when I watch that part this morning.. I cried.

wow we are never going to see another man liek John Ritter again..Only him and Chaplin! They both had that gift..

* This is the first time I have cried in over 12 years.. not even when family members died.. I didn't cry.

I have cried Twice since John has died.

That's one of my favorite episodes, the one that made me cry the first time I saw it years ago and the same one that still makes me cry. You could tell it got to the entire audience. :(

Yeah, me too.

yeah I couldn't take it this time.. I haven't felt that.. since I saw it the FIRST time it aired.. back when it was first made.

wow it was an amazing moment.. That moment for me is Jack Tripper!!


( another episode which made me cry when it first aired.. was Terri's first episode) When Jack ruined her dressed.. and she ketp saying "Give it to me..." & then "Go ahead you can't stop now"


wow.. to see Jack be mean then totally Hurt..

When I saw that the first timed it aired.. I was so sad.. because that wasn't Jack! .. I had such a LUMP in my Throat when I saw that..

wow the acting there from both of them.. just Tugged at my Heart Strings

That's another one I remember well! I really felt for Terri, and when she told him to give it to her, the way she looked at him.. I got pretty choked up. I thought she was going to slap him at first, never expected Jack to spray her with the water again.

Oh I know.. Terri's face in that part.. wow I was sooo choked up !!!

That was some amazing acting for her first episode .. I really felt for Terri.. and couldn't believe how Jack was acting.. THEN he showed that "Pathos" yet again.

when that were both quiet and we were waiting for Jack to decide what to do next... I was on the edge of me seat & about to cry all in one moment

what acting

:)

:nod: That's how I was

Since John's death, I've only watched two episodes, and those were the ones that aired last night on Nick at Nite. They were "Macho Man" and "Strangers in the Night." I love both of these episodes but "Strangers in the Night" is one of my favorites. The part that always makes me laugh is when Jack and Larry are at Arabella's apartment serenading her and then while Larry is singing, he coughs, so Jack has to cough too. And then Larry coughs again, and Jack does too. It made me laugh again last night but it just wasn't the same anymore knowing that John will not be able to make us all laugh in the future. And his famous "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" line was really meaningful in this episode because that sounds like something John would say in real life, since he was so kind to those around him.

I'll probably start crying if I ever watch Jack's "emotional" episodes, like "Some of that Jazz", "Roper's Niece (the end of it, with Janet's cameo)", "Jack Bares All part 2"..and especially "Cupid Works Overtime" with Jack and Janet's scene on the couch about how much they'll miss each other..oh my, that will hurt the most. Because now, we will always have Jack Tripper, but Janet's tearful line "Um..I'm really going to miss you, Jack" will be more like "Um..I'm really going to miss you, John."

I'll never be able to watch my favorite show the same way again now that my favorite actor has died. :crying:

I was, too. :( I thought for sure he'd stop and apologize for the first time.

This show really wont ever be the same for me.:( :crying:

You will.. :( I made a mistake and watched "All that Jazz"

Do you know that feeling when WE saw all the "emotional episode" back in teh 1980's when they first aired OR the 500th time we all saw it ..

Do you know that feeling of wow.. this is amaizng and I am so sad and just LOVE Jack's personality .. such a sweet caring man!

well... watching it NOW it is a MILLION times worse! I was a wreck when I watched John play a Touching,Caring, Emotional part!

I think right now stick with the slap stick episodes..

because the other ones messed me up

Whenever a Episode is NOT just high energy funny as hell.. the place is going wild kinda episode.. I am fine :)

But...

IF they just have a quiet moment.. or just watching John walk in the room and look at one of the girls before he says his lines

I become a wreck! and just feel so bad for Joyce... you know she must be a mess right now :(

She was a mess from getting screwed by the producers 20 years later.. on the E! true Story!

This is going to be soooooo hard for her.. I know :(

WE didn't even meet/know him but just for what he did on TV.. imagine workign with him!

imagine meeting him! LOOK at EVERY Reporter.. they all have glassy eyes.. and holding back from crying! Every Reporter I have seen so far that met him in person.. when they did their story of his death.. their voices were cracking and they were trying o hold it together!

:(

EVERYONE of them!!!

I haven't been able to watch it. I tried Friday night and I couldn't. That just tells me I'm not really ready to watch again yet :(

It's just so hard to watch it now. I try to laugh, but I just feel too bad. It's going to take a while to get used to this. :(

I did not know until 15 minutes ago. I watching TVLand and saw a Hawaii Five O ep with John Ritter, then I'm watching MTM thinking "they moved it to weekends? I though they lost the rights to it." Then I see a tribute to John Ritter and think I have it all figured out. MTM ep aired was with John Ritter. I thought it was nice until I see the years he lived appear across the screen. I got a cold chill. IT's been about 20 minutes now and I am still in shock. I wonder how his wife is doing. I would have loved to have met him. I'll miss him on screen.

I still love three's Company ....... but it just doesn't feel the same

I think i need some time....

I watched the 2 episodes last night..."The Matchbreakers", and "Oh, Nun"...I couldn't stop thinking about how John won't be around anymore...it wouldn't register in my brain though...it was like this whole weekend has been a REALLY bad dream...I couldn't stop smiling, however, at the end of "The Matchbreakers" when Janet and Terri both gasp, etc, when Mr. Furley looks at them because he is so "macho", and then when he walks past Jack, John put his hand to his chest and let out this big gasp/sigh, and Mr. Furley went nuts...it was simply the best.

You guys are right though...it will be especially hard to watch the emotional episodes...the last 2 episodes, "Some of that Jazz", but the one that would be simply awkward to watch I think...I dont know, maybe not, but "Dying to Meet You" might be a little, difficult, to watch I guess. I dont know.

One of the episodes where John's amazing acting ability was just on a role, however, was "Up in the Air"...it would be fantastic if N@N would show the un-cut version during the marathon thing on Monday night...it is simply amazing, not to mention hilarious, and I've never even seen the un-cut version!

Anyway, like I said, it's been hard for my brain to register that he's actually gone...it just won't. It doesn't seem possible, or even fair, that a man like that could die. But I guess, if you think about it this way, John isn't really dead...physically maybe, but I am almost 100% sure that he will always be in everyone's hearts and minds, I know he will be in mine.

Its too hard for me to tune into Threes Company now. I used to watch it on 11 and 11:30 and then watch the reruns at 3 and 3:30. But now, when I watch the show, I start crying because I can't watch it without thinking of Johns untimely death. I think it will take a while before I feel better about the show. But now I have something to look forward to...when I die...I hope I can meet John and Lucy (since I didn't get to on earth) Also...I wonder...maybe John and Lucy have a new sitcom in heaven! (hmmmmm) Its nice to think about.

I agree. It was hard watching the award show on TVland that he hosted. I will deeply miss him!

I feel exactly the same way you do on all of this.

Well I watched my first episode of Three's Company since John's death. It was the episode "Jack looks for a job". I had watched him on MTM and Rhoda before this episode and enjoyed them but when I heard the theme of Three's Company it hit me again that he was gone. I watched the show and John made me laugh as he always did but it was a little surreal. Theres a sadness watching the show now knowing that John, Norman and Audra are gone. I hope in time I will be able to enjoy the show as I use to but I doubt it.

It's just like somebody said, when I watched his obit and they showed a clip like the one where he bumped into the door, my reflex reaction was to laugh and then feel sad right away.

I've also hoped that my favorite celebs would have sitcoms or shows or concerts in heaven that I could watch, and now he's one of them.

Tvland ran "A Tribute to John Ritter" this past weekend. I saw some episodes of some shows he made guest appearences. I had no idea he had done shows like Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda. Actually, I think I just don't remember seeing them. Anyways...just keep his family in your prayers, if you pray. We miss you, John and R.I.P!

I watched Three's Company the night I found out that he was dead. It was crazy because I like it even more now but it makes me sad. I'll be laughing and crying at the same time. My dormmate thinks I'm insane.

me too......every time i watch a show featuring John Ritter, it just makes me think of his death even though i also sometimes think that it still is just a bad dream and that he's really alive and doing well :(

The first ep I saw after his death was early Saturday...the one where he serenades the girl outside her window...a classic and one of my all time faves. It did feel mighty strange. I really feel like I grew up with Jack Tripper since I was watching "Three's Company" at a very young age. To watch Ritter's work now is very surreal...the exact same feeling I get when I see John Candy or Phil Hartman.

I hope that, someday, I will be able to watch the show the way I used to...but now it's simply too sad. I'm still in shock. Then again, I probably always will be.

That "Cupid Works Overtime" episode was on in the Nick At Nite marathon last night and...boy...was that difficult to watch. That episode works on so many levels now. If you watch it from the perspective of how it was back then, you can almost sense Joyce DeWitt getting emotional over the fact that the series was coming to an end. At least that's the impression I got. Her tears look very real. John Ritter looked quite choked up too. But some of the things they said to each other...it was so surreal because it fit the current situation so perfectly.

I laugh at Ritter's antics just like I always did...but then, every once in a while, I get that twinge...

I know how you feel. It's very hard to watch his shows now. Doesn't it make you feel like you know him in person. It's amazing how someone on T.V. can touch your life in such a way isn't it.
I LOVE YOU JOHN. YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED

It got me too, now i'm crying all over again, like the day i heard he left us. It is great though, knowing how many people really truly admired him and loved him.

The worls has lost a great comidian,,Im still in shock and very said,,I feel wierd crying over someone I never met,,I grew up watching Three`s Company,I was ten years old and remembering having a crush on him and saying thats the kind of man I want to marry..
I have a hard time watching the specials without crying,,I put in a tape of Three`s company and to my surprise I didnt cry,,how could I he was so funny..
My prayers go out to his family..
he will be missed..
Happy Birthday John Ritter we all miss you...

I have watched maybe 25 episodes.. :)

and to be honest... I now see every moment as watching a genius at work! I am not sad anymore whne I watch three's company :)

I just see that every episode has a about 3 minute middle in which John just shows his talent as the BEST Comic ever!

* What I was doing last night was.. just fast forwarding to anywhere on a tape.. then playing it! EVERYTIME it landed on something funny as hell :lol: :lol:

I was even watching the last year or 2.. and those are even better for John Stunts!! He just goes and goes :lol:

Sounds like an interesting experiment...I'll have to try it...

yeah :) about 90% of the time.. if you fast forward to about 15 minutes into any episode.. there is a set up or your in the middle of an AMAZING John Stunt/Joke/Bit :lol:

Last Sunday, watching the TV Land tribute, I was very sad. But now I'm actually happy watching 3's Company. John Ritter may be gone, but Jack Tripper and all his other characters will live forever.

When i watch Three's Company now that John is gone. I find myself analyzing his every move more than I ever have before. And I am more amazed at how truely talented he was. Its like when I'm watching an episode now, my main focus is him. When before it was the whole cast. I'm sure that as time passes, I will focus again on the rest of the cast and not entirely on John (Jack). I just still cant believe that he's gone! Its such a shock. I will miss him lots

I know, it's been a week and I still find myself crying over him. It's amazing how someone you've never met can change your outlook on life as much as he has. I really do wonder if he ever really knew how much he affected us, or if his family knows. I really think his wife would love to know how it's been over a week since his passing and we're still mourning with her as if we also knew him like she did. I just think it might give her some comfort instead of thinking that she's crying alone. I wish I could just pick up the phone and call her and tell her how we are all still so saddened and in shock, that she's not alone.
And his daughter, dear God why of all days. That poor baby will forever celebrate her birthday as the day her father died. They must be some pretty strong people cause i've heard that God only gives you what he knows you can handle. If that's the case they must be built like pillars, you'd have to be to get through this. I've also been told everything happens for a reason, i wonder what it was.

OMG! LILFACE23! I agree with you totally! I have as well as others have been facing the same on other boards here about John and others like him.

He'll always be my Angel of Laughter...



For John

how do I live without you?
I want to know how do i
breathe without you. If u
ever go. How do I ever
ever survive? How do I
oh how do I. How do I
live without you. There'd
be no sun in my skies.
there'd be no love in my life
there'd be no world left for
me. And I dont know wut i
would do. I'm lost since i
lost you. If you ever leave.
Baby it has taken away
every thing real in my life.
And tell me now how do
I live without you?
<3 I love you, John.<3

I'm glad that you agree. I can't see how anyone can go through this without thinking that God had a reason for this. We may never know what it is. I'm just hoping what they say is true, that when you die you're reunited with people. If that's the case, I hope his wife and kids are comforted with that, not that that will take away the pain, but it's something to look forward to.

Those are such Beautiful words arent they..
I dont think he had any idea how much he meant to alot of people..
I bought The People Magazine,,he was on the front cover,,I read it and cried all over again..Wishing it was just a bad dream..
It was his time to go,and if there is good in this,he went quickly and he was very happy..


I LOVE YOU JOHN
