It was nice to see a new John Ritter special!

One thing they never mentioned is that John DID get a heart scan a couple years before he died & it showed CALCIFICATION of some arteries! Yet SHOCKINGLY John told Amy "I'm going to be with you a long time" after that heart scan.

So John LIED & it basically cost him his life! I guess they didn't mention this because it shows a negative side of John? I think I saw this on that 2 hour John Ritter special on the REELZ channel that aired 1 or 2 years ago.

(suggests rechecking the "2 hour John Ritter special" mentioned in this message in order to be sure of some of the other parts of this message)

She's guested on a lot of shows throughout the 2000s.

She was a regular on "Sons of Anarchy" from 2008–2014, which was her husband's show, and also starred on the CBS comedy "Superior Donuts".

John Ritter & his wife Amy Yasbeck were on an episode of The Cosby Show. Perhaps they mentored-became friends with Raven from the show or other projects.

Having Raven participate in the special was necessary, for ABC to meet minority representation requirements.

Without Raven it would have been A+ in my book but since she was involved it has to be B

It was agonizing to hear Jason say he thought John's hospital trip was going to be a wake up call & scare to show them how much they appreciated each other yet SHOCKINGLY that was the END!

I'd rather see Tyler Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, Katey Sagal and lesser known actors who worked with him in the special over Raven there.
