Howard Stern and others didn't have nice things to say about John. Here are some things he said (summarized from marksfriggen.com, i only copied parts where he was mentioned)

After getting off the phone with that woman Howard said that he feels sad for John Ritter's family but who knows if he was even a good guy. He said he hated to say it but people are getting a little too carried away with the tributes and stuff that people are doing for Ritter. Robin said that they were interviewing anyone and everyone who ever met Ritter over the weekend. Another caller told Howard that Johnny Cash had also passed away. Howard still played dumb and pretended that he didn't know about the deaths. After getting the call Howard wondered if these people are on acid or something.

Howard said that John Ritter was in a lot of bad TV shows and he still doesn't know why people are so upset. Then he played a clip of Jimmy Kimmel breaking down and almost crying when he talked about John Ritter dying. Kimmel even knew that Howard was going to play the clip and goof on him about it because he said so during his break down. Robin said she thought he was on a show called ''The Man Show'' before he got his own talk show. Now he's breaking down and crying while talking about John Ritter of all people. Howard went on to talk about how the reason people were watching ''Three's Company'' was for Suzanne Somers and his new show was being watched for the hot daughter. That led to Howard talking about Suzanne Somers and how she fought with Ritter for years and now she's coming out talking about him like they were friends. He said she should be ashamed of herself.

Howard spent a little more time talking about John Ritter's death. He replayed the clip of Jimmy Kimmel breaking down and almost crying when he talked about Ritter's death. Howard said they have to get Jimmy on the show to talk about Ritter. He said they should try to make him cry again.

A listener called in and told Howard the reason people are so upset about John Ritter dying is because he was a really nice guy. Howard said that shouldn't be a surprise though and people are carrying on like they just lost a great actor like Robert De Niro or something.

A woman called in and said that she was a little disappointed in what Howard was saying about John Ritter not being a good actor. Howard said that the guy was probably a nice guy but he wasn't a great actor. Howard said that he was good as a sitcom actor but he wasn't a ''great'' actor. The woman said that Ritter was one of the best physical comedians so Howard told her to give the rest of her ''top 5'' physical comedians. She could only name Jerry Lewis and Lucille Ball though so Howard berated her a little bit before she got off the line. Howard went on to talk about how Jimmy Kimmel is out of his mind breaking down and crying over it. He also said that Suzanne Somers is also out of her mind acting like they were good friends. He played tape of her breaking down and crying when she called into ''The View.'' Howard went off on her for a short time and wondered where she was when John asked her to stay with ''Three's Company'' when she was trying to negotiate her contract. Suzanne claims that she and John just made up this year so most of his life she hadn't made up with him. Howard said that the phone call she made was her best performance ever. Howard and Artie goofed on the stupid comments that they were making in that phone call. Robin said it was a good thing John died on a weekend because there's nothing on TV then so they were able to have all of those tributes that they had. Howard and the guys also talked about how ''Three's Company'' was just a jiggle show and the big stars of the show were Suzanne Somers' breasts.

howard stern always sucked :mad:

knowing how Howard Stern is, I am not surprised. Howard Stern should wish he was half the man John Ritter was.: Wasn't Stern the same man who belittled Dana Plato the night before she died? He should watch what he says. Words hurt.:mad:

Howard Stern ought to be ashamed of himself for making those stupid, thoughtless, and cruel comments about John Ritter. :mad:

The rest of the people on the Howard Stern Show are just as bad. They need to find something else to do with their lives instead of always criticizing and belittling people. :rolleyes: :angryfire

John Ritter is one of the greatest actors if the not the greatest actor in television in the last 20+ years and if they don't know that by now, then they're the ones who are on acid or something. :livid: :cuss:

You know what? Howard Stern can go straight to hell. Maybe he's just jealous because he knows he isn't half the man John was. I almost wish it were Howard Stern who dropped dead instead of John. We could have rid the world of one less heartless idiot.

I always hated Howard Stern, now I hate him even more.

Hes just jealous cause he knows he will never be as great a man that John was. John was a great actor, if not the greatest.

He needs to be off the air, i dont see how he got on in the first place.:mad:

Howard Stern has such a self esteem problem. And can you blame him? He has absolutely the worst sounding voice and look at his hair! If he wasn't insulting somebody who couldn't defend themselves then he would have nothing to do but look in the mirror and realize that he is a total @sshole who has no personality. Too bad it wasn't him who died instead of Mr. Ritter, but then we would have to watch his tribute shows...what a drag.

You should always take what Howard says with a grain of salt. Don't take it to heart.

Most definitely.

what a loser. he should get a life. it shows what a coward he is insulting a dead person! i hope he grows up and learns that what he says, can hurt people. i doubt he even cares...

he doesn't care what he spews out his filthy, disgusting, and atrocious mouth

never did like Howard Stern and never will like him

Typical Howard trying to strike up some controversy by making insensitive remarks about someone's death. When Selena was murdered he had the sounds of gunshots playing in the background of his show and only expressed sadness over the loss of her J-Lo sized ass. It's all done to drum up ratings. He's a desperate man.

I've always hated Howard Stern but now I hate him with a passion. I hope he rots in hell.

Howard Stern is an ass. He should go to hell.

Thanks, Mary for that e-mail address.

This is what I sent off to that "donkey-looking fool:"

How can you sit there and say that John Ritter is not a great actor. He is one of the greatest actors, if not the best actor in the past 20 years.

And how dare you say that fans are going overboard giving Mr. Ritter special tributes and mourning his death. I speak for a lot of people when I say that his death was a huge loss to not only the entertainment community, but to the world community. :angryfire

It doesn't surprise me that as long as someone isn't up to your "perverted" standards, you can criticize and belittle them. Well, I'm here to tell you that what you're doing is not only unfair, but downright cruel and disrespectful. :mad: :livid:

I hope that you can see the error of your ways and apologize to everyone that you offended because you certainly offended me and the public at-large. The same goes to others on your show who made those ridiculous and insensitive comments as you did. :rolleyes:

You really need to take a crash-course in compassion and kindness. You're the one that needs to be ashamed of yourself for making those comments, not the ones (including me) who are trying to mourn Mr. Ritter's death.

Trust me, he won't be reading it. Gary or A.J. will. It'll never see his eyes.

Well, it doesn't matter if he reads it or not. The point is I got a lot of stuff off my chest concerning that lowlife and now I can move on.

I have always hated Howard Stern, and like many of you here that posted I have to agree with you all, I hate him even more now. He needs to go straight to Hell. More than likely he probably will when his time comes. How could anyone be that cruel to anyone that just passed away and be that cruel to anyone who is still alive. Mr. Howard Stern better appolgize to Johns wife and family for saying all the horrible things he said about John. I wish for once someone would put Howard Stern in his place. I wish it was Howard that lost his life instead of John. John will always be the best with me.

I've got a few choice words to say, but I'm on the tv board, so I can't say the exact thing I'm thinking. I'll just sum it up with one sentence, Howard's a meathead.

Howard Stern is just a big jerk and an a**hole. It's not like anyone would care if he died since he has nothing better to do than insult everyone.

Kudos to you, Anthony. :clap:

Now that I have his email address (thanks, Mary), I think I'll drop him a few lines, too. If he reads the mail or not, I don't care. John Ritter meant a lot to so many of us, and he doesn't deserve to be disrepected like that. Howard Stern's a jackass.

I Know How to get to Howard.. because I have done it on a few Howard Stern websites.. he does read them.. and I used to post there all the time... and if you listen to the show he sometimes would bring up some peoples post (in a round about way)

I actually got banned from one for awhile.. because I was so honest and blunt.

This is how you piss off Howard: BRING UP HIS FAILURES!

* His Movie BOMBED! He bragged it was going to be a $100+ Million Hit!.. He talked about it to his 20 million People Fanbase for 3 years straight.. 5 HOURS a Day on his Radio Show. He would make fun of movies that only made $30 Million on ONE weekend! (I have about 500 Audio Tapes of his show.. and in this time period on "Robin's News" he would rip on anyone that only made $30 Million or less for one weekend.. he said his will make waaay more then that)

It's first week Box Office Numbers $14,616,333:lol:

His movie's TOTAL Gross was only $41,230,799:lol: :lol:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=privateparts.htm

* You should have heard him backpeddle on bombing here! SO Then he said that when his movie went Over Seas.it will do better then it did here, because They don't know who he is.. and they have no negative opinon of Howard Stern!

His Movie over seas ONLY made a total of $12.8:lol:
http://www.worldwideboxoffice.com/index.cgi?order=worldwide&start=1900&finish=2003&keyword=Private+Parts&links=amazon.com&popups=yes

Howard's Next failure was..
* Bragging about Killing Saturday Night Live in the ratings! He used to brag about this from 1993 until the day before he tried it with his CBS "Howard Stern Radio Show"

* In which BOMBED! Quickly and was being dropped by tons of Major Markets ! ...the show got NO RATINGS! and was dropped after a few years

His next Failure was..

* He talked about how "Son of the Beach" was going to be the funniest new TV Show .. he was only a producer.. He had a huge Press Conference for it...

( this was a stupid non funny Parody of Baywatch! BUT the problem is the Baywatch fad was over and not even on the air anymore)

* The show was CANCELLED off The FX Channel :lol: in 3 years

* His cartoon Doomsday.. could NEVER get on the air.. UPN changed their mind!:lol:

* NOW he is puttin on SPIKE TV another cartoon called "Howard Stern the highschool years"

Lets watch how fast this TV Show gets NO ratings and then bombs!

*****This is a guy who brags about doing major projects.. BUT can only get them on CRAPPY Cable Channels?? :lol:

So when you write Howard bring up his failures.. that is how you 100% get under his skin ;)

Howard also has a NOSE JOB in which he doesn't admitt it!:lol:

also he dyes his hair JET Black when it

Here is a pic today... LOOK at the difference:eek: :lol:

I think what Howard said was uncalled for, and disrespectful ... and it just gave me another reason not to view his show in the future.

i'm thinking one of the reasons he's saying these things about john is because when he dies, he probably wont have as much tribute, and those comments from the others were also not necessary.

Howard Stern is just a very mouthy so called shock jock. He and the people he work with on that stupid show say this stuff because they want people to be shocked at what they say. I hate the fact that they talked crap about Jimmy Kimmel breaking down over John's death. This is a human being that died, what did they expect for him to put on a happy face over John's death. Espeically when I hear how great a person John was. People like John are very rare.

That is kind mean what he said stupid Howard Stern

Dont sound too nice when you guys email him. Curse him off, and tell him the real story of John Ritter and why everyone misses him.

i dont think its a good idea to email him anymore. he brought up the emails you sent him today on his show (i read about it on a site didnt listen) and along with his idiot cohosts just made fun of them and continued to insult John.

Howard Stern isn't worth it. He's not worth talking about the stupid crap he says. He's not worth your time to catch his show. He's not worth the attention being given. He's a loud mouth bully who only says stuff to get underneath peoples skin while at the same time gawking every chance he can get at some T&A.

Knowing enough about Howard Stern can anyone here even fathom why he would recognize John Ritter comedic acting tallent over Susan Summer's breasts? Of course Howard Stern couldn't recognize quality acting.

He's an idiot. In today's society there is no place for people like Howard Stern and he's gotten so desperate that he's willing to belittle the recent dead to do it.

So throw the finger to Howard and just ignor the creep. He's not worth it.

I used to catch his show when it first started showing on E! ... but it only took a few episodes before I realized that I didn't like his form of humor. He appeals to the more simple minded people of the world who mostly watch his show to hopefully see some T&A and maybe some commercials for porn quality videos.

He's the trash of America... throw him out.. don't give him any more time.

heres what he said although it isnt exact. from the same site


He said he also got some negative mail about his comments on John Ritter. Howard said that people are going a little overboard calling him a ''great actor'' when he really wasn't. He said the guy was talented but he wasn't a ''great actor'' like they're saying he was. Howard pointed out that the only hit shows that guy has been on have been jiggle shows where they have hot chicks that guys are tuning in to watch. Howard read some of the mail he got. Howard said that one person said that he's just jealous that no one will say anything nice about him when he dies. Howard said that no one ever did a tribute to John Ritter when he was alive so they must not have thought much of him. Howard said the time to honor someone is when they're alive. He later corrected himself and said that Ritter did get a Golden Globe award... to which Robin responded ''Golden Globes don't count...'' Howard also went off on Suzanne Somers about her talking about how she and John made up this year after not being in touch since she left ''Three's Company'' many years ago. He went off on her for writing a diet book as well. That led to Howard talking about Dr. Phil's diet book and how he's got no right to write one because he's still fat.

Howard compared Suzanne Somers to Cher. He said that Cher hated Sonny Bono when he was alive but as soon as he died, she was taking over his funeral and hardly let anyone get a word in. Howard played the tape of Suzanne Somers calling in to ''Good Day Live'' when she broke down and cried while talking about Ritter. Howard goofed on her about that for a short time. They also goofed on Jillian Barberie when she called John Ritter ''physically genius.'' Howard said that Suzanne really should just shut up.


I find it funny him saying Johns shows were only succsesful because they were jiggle shows yet isnt that why his whole show has been on for so long? i think it would be best to not email him anymore because the more people do the more he'll bring it up until he has the last word.

i think it would be best to not email him anymore because the more people do the more he'll bring it up until he has the last word.

I think that's the best way to go. He will always get the last and first word and only word in on his show. And there's no way he's going to back down. Atleast despite Larry King not doing anything beyond that 7min interview with Joyce ... he did have a good understanding it seems of John Ritter's tallent.

Howard Stern is a low-class b******!!!!!He has no respect for anyone or anything.I really think that John wouldn't be bothered by what Howard has said,he had too much class.

It doesn't surprise me at all coming from the person who makes his living by belittling and making fun of people who he feels he's "better" than.

IMO he's just jealous, he has no talent, so he has to belittle those that do.

Tributes, what tributes, I doubt anyone would waste airspace on that pervert.:mad:

Well said you said what I would have and then some. I can tell you this will come back to bite him in his backside like the remarks Bill Maher made after 9/11 did, he's only hurting himself and the ones he works with.

Howard has respect for no one, not even himself, he's a sad human being, I am ashamed to even call him a human being.:mad:

Personally, I think e-mailing him just gives him more fuel to keep doing what he's doing. He obviously does not care and does not have a heart.

for me emailing that p***k is a waste of my time ... :rolleyes:

NOPE.. I am going to email him everyday he talks about John Ritter! I used to be a huge fan of Howard's.. I used to go on all his message boards.. and one board I know he read..because his crew goes on there..some of his wack pack, and I notice things I would bring up OR other posters wrote.. Howard would bring up on hi show (being pissed off OR used our idead as fresh ones he made up):lol: loser!:rolleyes:

Well here was my most recent email to Howard Stern (IF he talks about John again.. I will keep nailing him with facts!) I know his nothing career as well as he does!

Howard would bring up on hi show (being pissed off OR used our idead as fresh ones he made up):lol: loser!:rolleyes:


i dont think that was a good idea. im sure hes going to mention it on his show again and talk down again to john and fans even worse.

I aint worreid about Howard.. because he has NO ammo against John Ritter! Nothing.. so he can't do more then sound like a OLD COMIC that doesn't understand why all the young people Love something:rolleyes:

He sounds out of touch .. and desperate!

What Howard doesn't realise is.. anyone about 37 years old and younger.. think John is Chaplin,Lucy, basically a Comic God!

That is everyone CORE Audience! 10 - 40 year olds.. John Ritter has that and always will because of reruns of his TV Shows! I bet if we went to anywhere in the world Three's Company is playing there! ANYWHERE!!!.. I bet every kid to late 20's person.. Knows Jack Tripper/John Ritter!

Who knows Howard outside of his Radio Markets in the USA :lol: He even said this when he was promoting his movie.. (for a built in excuse when hsi movie BOMBED):rolleyes: :lol:

Howard is making a BIG MISTAKE saying this stuff.. because his Core Audience LOVES John Ritter..

I hope that he talks about this everyday! because the more he does.. it makes HIM look OLD,OVER & Out of TOUCH!!!

Keep Talking Howard! Keep Taling so much 90% of your audience (the youth) will turn off their radios:wave:

I'd say we all keep him going.. write me.. because he has NO clue that he is screwing himself.. NO one wants a audience that is 45 years old & UP..

** He is just Jealous that a Man John Ritter.. who is 6 years OLDER Then him is more in touch with the Youth..then he ever can be!

500 Years from now.. Three's Company will be airing everywhere in the world!

John will be even bigger then he is now..

No one will even remember Howard Stern! ... People are forgetting him right now! and he isn't even off the radio yet:lol:

..

If Howard Stern did die, oh say tommarow or a month or year from now, it wouldn't have anything to do with emails that people have sent him. And why would you feel guilty if he died because you sent him an email?:lol:
Like I've said before John Ritter was a very talented actor and a great guy he deserves respect and Howard Stern doesn't know what that word means. I wouldn't feel guilty if I sent Howard Sten a nasty email I think it would serve him right for all the terrible things he has said about John and every other actor/actress/ singer etc.. out there.

Howard Stern's an idiot. Always was, always will be. Moreover, he doesn't know what he's talking about. People only tuned in to "Three's Company" for Suzanne Somers? If you're going to berate someone on the show for having little talent, have it be her for crying out loud. (Not that I dislike Chrissy, per se...but I'm making a comparison). And...who won the Emmys for the show?

It's been a longheld belief of mine that Ritter was a comic genius.

There always has to be some naysayers in the bunch. I visited Ritter's star on the 13th and every once in a while some waste of space would walk by and say something derogatory. Some people just can't let others grieve.

And Howard probably was jealous.

Ritter: successful sitcom actor, semi-successful character actor, appeared in over 70 TV shows and films, as well as 70 other TV guest appearances, family man with beautiful children and a ravishing wife, star of a currently popular sitcom, loved by all who crossed his path.

Stern: controversial talk radio host with a couple of bestselling books and a lousy ego-stroking film, hated by half, loved by the other half.

It's been a longheld belief of mine that Ritter was a comic genius.

Here here, me too.

I think that most people who loved Three's Company back in the day or even now in reruns recognized John and the wait between Three's and 8 Simple Rules was by far a much too long of a wait.

I think most of us Ritter & Three's Company fans were very happy when 8 Simple Rules was announced on ABC, that John Ritter would be in it, and that he'd (like Three's Company) play the central character. It was a long wait.

For me, it was something I really was happy about. My wife was happy about it. And the show finally started and we were even happier. Neither my wife or I ever questioned John Ritter's tallent. It was more of a "He should have done this years ago!" type of feeling.

Anyway, that's something Howard Stern never would comprehend. Sure emailing him allows the man to dig his own grave... but for the depraved human beings that tune into his show.. it also gives him plenty of ammunintion to breed plenty of viewers into agreeing with him about Mr. Ritter. So it's a double edge sword. However, I think helping Howard out by giving him new material to put on his show is a bad idea all around. Let him sink on his own without fresh material... and don't pay any attention to his show. It will disapear.

However, if you still find the need to email someone a hate letter... why not Email E!'s program director or something? Doesn't his show still air on E! ? So if they get enough hate mail about it.. maybe it'll work towards him loosing that TV time... and keep him on the radio instead. In which case then I'd never even catch a glimpse of a show he does since where I live his show isn't on the Radio :lol:

i loved that letter you wrote! SO NASTY! lol. I say send it! too bad one of you guys didn't have a radio show!! ;)

I was kind of sickened when a radio station of mine did the same thing. The DJ came up and said, "We have some good news and some bad news, Today Music Legend Johnny Cash has died at age 72," he made this little speech about him, then he came up and said, "and the good news, John Ritter has also died today. I swear to God I was so mad at that I wanted to call him up and trash him to death on the air. I don't care who it is, you never ever make a statement that expresses excitement over someone's death.

That's awful. :( :mad: To rejoice in someone's death is really sick.And especially a good man,like John.Geez. :rolleyes:

I don't understand. People making bad comments walking past his star on the walk of fame, that DJ, Howard Sterm... Why do so many (it seems) hate John Ritter?

I would have loved to call the station up and talk to the guy on the air, but of course DJs have complete control over listeners and would make me sound like some kind of fool for being broken down over John Ritters death. I was just so pissed off and shocked that he said something like that about John.

People are such whores.

John Ritter was a great man. I hate haters..

HOWARD STERN IS A MAJOR DISSAPPOINTMENT IN HIS OWN LIFE AND THAT'S WHY HE PUTS DOWN EVERYONE AROUND HIM. I MEAN LOOK AT HIM, THEN AGAIN DON'T, IT'S PRETTY SCARY.
HOWARD...... GET A LIFE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOSER!

I know this loser so well.. I have banned by 2 different message boards for not saying anything but the truth about him..

Just do "his show" back to him and his crew! same style.. hit the bully back in the face with his exact style..

and he shuts up..

just like any bully

he said he liked the tribute?? why? after he was making fun of him?

Well, I'm certainly no fan of Howard Stern, but as an impartial observer, I have to agree with him on a couple of points...

1) Three's Company was initially a success because of Suzanne Sommers, and ONLY because of Suzanne Sommers...when she left, the ratings tanked....it was a top 2 or top 3 show for the first couple of years it was on, and then, what happened? I get the feeling that people were only watching to see her, not Ritter. Debuting in the 1977-78 season, 3's C finished 3rd in 77-78 (behind Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days, two other very over-rated-by-history shows), 2nd in 78-79 (behind L&S), 2nd in 79-80 (behind 60 minutes, making it the top rated sitcom). It dropped to 9th in 80-81, which I'm assuming is about the time Sommers would have left. After that, I don't know, but the ratings sure tanked after S.S. left the show. And I'm SURE it wasn't because of a dip in the quality of the shows scripts :)

I know some of you will say that it's no disgrace finishing 9th, and that's probably true, but still, you have to admit that that's a HUGE drop off. It might be interesting to see how many other sitcoms dropped from 2nd to 9th in the ratings in one year.


2) Someone mentioned that Ritter won "Emmys"... I'm not sure if it was on this particular topic, but I'd love to know what he won an Emmy for...was it for a guest appearance on another show, or was it for 3's C? Back in those days, people like Carol OConnor were winning Comedy Actor Emmy's every year, so when did Ritter win one? Anyone? Anyone?

3) The "Problem Child" movies were TERRIBLE!! Did Ritter ever make any good movies? I can't remember any...I'd hate to think of him being remembered for those stupid movies...

I haven't seen 8.S.R.f.D.M.T daughters. Time will tell what will happen to the show now, but it apparently will continue on without the great one...



Comment on Crapple's comments:

by "TV Guest appearances", does that mean being a guest on a talk show, like the Tonight Show, or something like that? If that's the case, it sounds like he made the talk show rounds to promote whatever project he was involved in...



... family man with beautiful children and a ravishing wife....

No big deal really, lots of guys, both in and out of Hollywood, have beautiful children and a ravishing wife...


And of course, regarding his being loved by all who crossed his path, we might want to check with Ms. Sommers and / or Ms. DeWitt about that...Of course, what they say now IS different from what they've said over the last 20 years

I understand your playing devil's advocate here, but...

I don't buy it. For someone that "made" the show, as you claim, it seems funny that almost no one has lavished much praise on her performance on the show in the last 20 odd years. Even before Ritter's death, he was the one getting most of the credit.

I know some of you will say that it's no disgrace finishing 9th, and that's probably true, but still, you have to admit that that's a HUGE drop off.

No. If it had gone from 2nd to, say, 20th, that'd be a huge dropoff.

1978 - Nominated for Emmy: Best TV Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"
1979 - Nominated for Golden Globe: Best TV Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"
1980 - Nominated for Golden Globe: Best TV Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"
1981 - Nominated for Emmy: Best TV Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"
1984 - Won Emmy: Best TV Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"
1984 - Won Golden Globe: Best TV Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"

Let's stack that up against Somers' nominations. Oops, make that nomination:

1979 - Nominated for Golden Globe: Best TV Actress in a Musical or Comedy for "Three's Company"

And you mean to tell me "Three's Company was initially a success because of Suzanne Sommers, and ONLY because of Suzanne Sommers"? Right.

3) The "Problem Child" movies were TERRIBLE!! Did Ritter ever make any good movies? I can't remember any...I'd hate to think of him being remembered for those stupid movies...

I see Ritter more as one of those "character actors" who takes a lot of roles over his career for the sake of continuing to work. In my opinion, his work as Jack Tripper more than makes up for it. For me, he never could have done enough to erase the brilliance of his work on that show alone.

by "TV Guest appearances", does that mean being a guest on a talk show, like the Tonight Show, or something like that?

Nope. Go to Ritter's page on the IMDb and take a look at the "Notable TV guest appearances." There are some that were indeed talk show appearances, but the vast majority of these 71 guest appearances were bit parts in television shows.


No big deal really, lots of guys, both in and out of Hollywood, have beautiful children and a ravishing wife.

You completely missed my point. My point was that a case could be made that Howard Stern could have been partially jealous of Ritter, since Stern has made a shambles out of his own life. Stern always seems to lash out at those who possess what he cannot.

And of course, regarding his being loved by all who crossed his path, we might want to check with Ms. Sommers and / or Ms. DeWitt about that...Of course, what they say now IS different from what they've said over the last 20 years

I saw the "E! True Hollywood Story" when it was on a few years back. I don't seem to remember much ill will toward Ritter, if any. Most of the ill will seemed to be directed towards Suzanne Somers from John and Joyce for acting like such a diva.

Now, before any Suzanne Somers fans here flame me...I do not hate Suzanne. I'm just trying to make a point here.

Having said that, I'll freely admit that I feel the show got better after she left. I liked the cast changes and different storylines. Of the revolving roommates (Chrissy, Cindy, Terri), Terri was by far my favorite.

YOU SORRY LITTLE CRAPPY THING YOU. IF I COULD SAY WHAT I REALLY FEEL ON HERE, THEY WOULDN'T LET ME BACK IN. BESIDES, PEOPLE LIKE YOU AREN'T WORTH A SECOND IN WORLD. I WONDER WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY AT YOUR FUNERAL, "YA , IT STRIVED ON MAKING PEOPLE MISERABLE" I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU DON'T COME ACROSS ANYONE THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY NEED TO HEAR SOMETHING NICE, CAUSE IT SURE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE YOU'RE CAPABLE OF IT.

I know that, but did this person have to be so nasty. If you read what they wrote carefully, they were pretty much bashing John. Maybe i'm just too sensitive, but i think if you have nothing nice to say, especially about someone who just passes, than keep it to yourself. I mean it was like they were trying to correct everyone else in their comments. I just don't think it's right to say things like that about someone you don't know personnaly. I didn't know him like that either, but i'm not trying to put him down to the point were it's not a big deal that he's gone.

I understand where you're coming from. I just don't think he was trying to bash John Ritter.

Well i apologize, but that's what it seemed like to me. I mean, seriously, go back and read it again. It just seemed very negative to me. But than again, i did say, maybe i'm just too sensitive to this situation.

Howard Stern makes me so mad! How could he degrade someone as talented as John Ritter!

Looks like I've got a lot of 'splainin to do, so here goes...


I would not say that I was a "fan" of Ritter, in the sense that I did not follow his career as closely as a lot of of other people have...I lived through the 3s Company era, and I thought then and still think now that it was just a silly show, with a good number of funny moments,but it placed far too much emphasis on one topic...I think you know what that topic was...

One of the reasons I (honestly) didn't know if Ritter ever won and Emmy was partly because of laziness on my part...as I was writing my comment the other day, I grabbed an old TV Shows book (you know, those books that list every TV show that's ever been on),and looked in the listings of Emmy winners...this particular book did not list nominees, only winners, and at the time the book was originally published, Ritter hadn't won an Emmy yet...THAT's why I asked the question about whether he ever won...I wasn't questioning whether he won, I honestly didn't know, and didn't feel like going to other web sites to look that info up...

Also, I wasn't saying that people watched 3's C because S.S. was a superior actor to Ritter, but she WAS the main reason people originally tuned in...today, 20+ years later, it's easy to look at an episode and see that Ritter was clearly the most talented member of the cast, but not too many people were saying it at the time...people may not realize it, but at the time, it was considered to be just another ABC "jiggle" comedy, and I doubt many people thought it would last as long as it did...

By the way, before I forget, since I wrote that post the other day, I remember another show he was on..."Hearts Afire" with Markie Post...I did watch that show while it was on, and enjoyed it...

Let's see, what else....yes, whether or not a drop from 2nd to 9th is a "big" drop certainly is a subjective call...that would actually be considered a bigger drop back then that it would now, because cable was not as prolific, and there were a lot fewer shows and networks at that time...I'm sure the execs at ABC were not thrilled with the drop when it happened....


Also, I honestly didn't know how to interpret the 70 shows and 70 guest appearances comment...that's why I asked about it... off the top of my head, it just seemed that he would have been a guest on a # of shows and might have made talk show appearances to plug them, just as everyone in hollywood does...Personally, my favorite guest role of Ritters was when he played the priest who married Ted and Georgette on the MTM show...he was fantastic in that part...but I don't remember many other appearances of his on other shows....


And although John was nominated for several awards, one shouldn't really take awards shows too, too seriously...for example, I've always thought that Michael J. Fox was an excellent comedy actor, going back to his Family Ties days (I know we're talking about Ritter, so I'll try to make this brief)...yet he (Fox) never won an Emmy until after he went public with having Parkinson's disease... At the time, I correctly predicted that Fox would win the Emmy for best actor, not because he suddenly turned into a better actor than John Lithgow or Kelsey Grammer (the perennial best actor winners), but simply because he'd announced he was leaving the show because of Parkinsons... that was the easiest prediction that I ever made in my life...anyway, the only point here is that awards should not be taken seriously by fans, because they're not always given for the right reasons...one other case in point, Susan Lucci....she finally won a daytime emmy after so many years...was she suddenly better than she'd ever been? u tell me, I don't watch soaps...although in her case, soaps were getting much more publicity from her NOT winning than they ever would have gotten had she won earlier.


btw, Lilface23, re your comment, which I'll quote in part:

LET ME GUESS, YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO STRIVE ON PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS AND PROBABLY TRY TO MAKE THEM WORSE CAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO, OR YOUR LIFE IS JUST THAT MUCH OF A DISSAPOINTMENT, JUST LIKE HOWARD STERNS.

I'll just answer that with another quote from you...

The following was Posted by Lilface23

"I just don't think it's right to say things like that about someone you don't know personnaly." <end of 2nd quote>

Since you don't know me personally, you might want to consider living by the same rules that you try to set for everyone else...just a thought...

Anyway, folks, the weekend's almost here...have a great one, and make sure you do something fun! :wave:

Howard Stern knows no one will have a good word to say about him when his time comes and he has to belittle everyone for saying nice things about another. He knows he is no better then the trash he talks, interviews (if you call it that) and the sluts, and slops who talk to him are. He knows that if he insults something it will get a rise out of the public and that is wha the wants. Since he knnows that once he is out of the public eye no one will honor or rember him so he has to get the attention any way he can.
He wants you to get unglued and make a conversation about what he did that way he gets the attention he so desires and the publ;ivity that he is not getting. I mean honestly who cares about the opinion of a man that looks like he was dragged out of the New York gutter, with a bad perm that just doesnt go away even 15 years after the big permed hair went out of style, and a man that has to talk about T & A all the time (cause you know what they say about a person who talks a lot).
I wouldnt give him the satisfaction that you all bringing him by giving him the time of day to even criticize his remarks. He is trash and if you ignore him then his comments will eventually go unheard. As long as we talk about it he is getting FREE publicity.

Tune him out, Turn him off, Ignore his stupidity, and He will have no choice but to go away! Unless you really want to see him again on MTV flying on to the stage with his NASTY butt exposed making fart noises like boys made in 1st grade that we then laughed out loud about cause we were children.

I mean really are we gonna get upset about what a pervert adult with the minds of a child has to say about someone or a group of people with the mind oand maturity of an adult, and if he was suprised about Cash's death then thats just his ignorance. As for both of them passing on the weekend, I thought it was on 9/11 which was not on the weekend but rather on a Thursday and I thought that was during the week, last I checked if you pass on a weekend that hwould be on a Sat or Sun...

DO NOT LOWER YOURSELF TO HIS LEVEL TO DIGNIFY HIS REMARKS WITH OUR MATURE COMMENTS


FYI for Stern, Suzanne Somers left 3's and the show did some its best work after she was gone, yes she was great onthe show but I didnot watch to see her breast. The show ws in the tops when Terri joined the showit only slipped in the rating temp

One of the reasons I (honestly) didn't know if Ritter ever won and Emmy was partly because of laziness on my part...as I was writing my comment the other day, I grabbed an old TV Shows book (you know, those books that list every TV show that's ever been on),and looked in the listings of Emmy winners...this particular book did not list nominees, only winners, and at the time the book was originally published, Ritter hadn't won an Emmy yet...THAT's why I asked the question about whether he ever won...I wasn't questioning whether he won, I honestly didn't know, and didn't feel like going to other web sites to look that info up...

That must've been one old book! :lol:

Also, I wasn't saying that people watched 3's C because S.S. was a superior actor to Ritter, but she WAS the main reason people originally tuned in...today, 20+ years later, it's easy to look at an episode and see that Ritter was clearly the most talented member of the cast, but not too many people were saying it at the time...

See...I just don't buy that. I can see that applying to maybe the first season or so, but people would have caught on pretty quickly that Ritter was the anchor of the show. Somers was the goofy jiggler but Ritter had range.

If ratings dropped after Suzanne's departure, I would assume it was because people were tired of hearing about the controversy. Plus, as others have pointed out, people don't like change.

people may not realize it, but at the time, it was considered to be just another ABC "jiggle" comedy, and I doubt many people thought it would last as long as it did...

I can see that, actually.

Let's see, what else....yes, whether or not a drop from 2nd to 9th is a "big" drop certainly is a subjective call...that would actually be considered a bigger drop back then that it would now, because cable was not as prolific, and there were a lot fewer shows and networks at that time...

Hmmmm...good point.

Also, I honestly didn't know how to interpret the 70 shows and 70 guest appearances comment...that's why I asked about it... off the top of my head, it just seemed that he would have been a guest on a # of shows and might have made talk show appearances to plug them, just as everyone in hollywood does...Personally, my favorite guest role of Ritters was when he played the priest who married Ted and Georgette on the MTM show...he was fantastic in that part...but I don't remember many other appearances of his on other shows...

Again, go to the IMDb and check out his entry. My point about his many TV appearances was to stress that he was a prolific actor He worked a great deal before "Three's Company," as well as after, even if it was in bit roles.

And although John was nominated for several awards, one shouldn't really take awards shows too, too seriously...

True. But if we're trying to assess the main draw of a television show, looking at who has been nominated for awards can shed some light on the subject.

for example, I've always thought that Michael J. Fox was an excellent comedy actor, going back to his Family Ties days

Yes, same here.

(I know we're talking about Ritter, so I'll try to make this brief)...yet he (Fox) never won an Emmy until after he went public with having Parkinson's disease... At the time, I correctly predicted that Fox would win the Emmy for best actor, not because he suddenly turned into a better actor than John Lithgow or Kelsey Grammer (the perennial best actor winners), but simply because he'd announced he was leaving the show because of Parkinsons... that was the easiest prediction that I ever made in my life...anyway, the only point here is that awards should not be taken seriously by fans, because they're not always given for the right reasons...

Your Michael J. Fox point stands...however, it doesn't apply to Ritter, who received a number of nominations over several years and won two awards. If Ritter had recieved only one nomination in 1984, I can see how one might claim it was for the "wrong reasons." But Ritter was honored time and again.

By the way, I think Lilface got a little carried away.

Tweety. Your comment on Michael J. Fox is incorrect. He won 3 emmys as best lead actor in a comedy series for Family Ties, years before it was announced he had Parkinsons disease.

TWEETY,

I don't set rules for everyone else, first of all. And secondly, you might want to consider what you write seeing 90% of it is constantly being corrected by other people who post, or so it seems. I don't mean to sound nasty, but if you're not a fan, than why are you even bothering? And yes, i gotta ALOT carried away cause it really seemed as though you were just bashing on John and Three's Company all together, but i know everyone's entitled to their opinion and as i said, I'm just real sensative about this situation because I am one of the bigger fans of John Ritter. So I'll leave it at that.
You have a nice weekend too.

Tweetie,

I just read again what I wrote to you and I do apologize for being so mean. I guess I kinda took it to heart being a big fan of his. I hope you can except my apology and we can move on.
