Of all of John Ritter's shows, this one seems to be the least remembered. It was ignored in the TV Land tribute, is barely even mentioned in John's biographies, and it just always seems to be kept under wraps. Why is this? Is it because it's the only show he did that wasn't with ABC? I'd like to know because I know a few people that do think this is John's best work...

I enjoyed the show but cbs killed it by putting it on Saturday. Johns other shows were more high profile. Threes Company and 8 Simple Rules were audience favorites and Hooperman was a critical favorite.

It's a cute show but it doesn't really showcase his range of physical comedy.
