Remember that this was a newspaper's opinion, not mine. I haven't seen the show yet (It's about an hour away from starting, pacific time) so I cannot really tell you how I liked it.

OMA! God Sitcomwriter, it was a good show. Leave it alone. The opening credits weren't 'too short and stupid'. There's no such thing as right or wrong credits. And, you pick out the smallest things out of shows and make them your big deals in life. You're old enough, go get a job already!

and the show was WAY original! I haven't seen another show much like it (besides that people forming a family was in it) and the whole AIM thing was small, and probably wasn't ANYTHING like George Lopez. Oh, and look closely JP, it is NOT AIM.

Well, it sort of was. You started making fun of someone who 1.Is an actor, which what you wanna be and never will! 2.Probably looks better than you! - So, that was rude, and you insulted a few other things. Oh, and didn't you say on AIM 'I Liked it, but it's not on my top 100! LOL!'.

Ahh!! I LOVE HI! I wanted to see this show SO bad, but I skipped to watch my season premiere of That 70s Show, but next week Im DEF. taping 8 Simple Rules...!! I LOVE John Ritter and from what I saw in the previews will probably LOVE the show! I loved him on Tuesday nites in the late 70s (Ok, I was born in '84 sue me!), and Im sure Ill love him on Tuesdays again!
BTW- that review SUCKED! How dare they compare it with Roseanne! I dont see why Notorious is insulting other peoples opinions and even INSULTING them- we're rating the show, not the board members. Get over it.

Actually there WERE similarities to Roseanne.I agree that Darlene and Kerri are alike in some ways.I mean the hair and the sarcasm most importantly! HOWEVER I don't think Becky and Bridget are very much the same with the ecption of the B in their names.Life with Bonnie was also very Roseanne-y IMO but nobody talked about the comparisons of them! (The New York Daily News compared LWB to Curb your Enthusiasm and The Larry Sanders Show but NOT Roseanne.Personally I would have compared it to CYE,TLSS and Frasier or at least that episode of Frasier in which he and Bebe hosted a Morning Talk Show).

oops...uh i didnt know there was an 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter board....so i'll copy and paste what i said on the Three's Company board.


Well, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched it yesterday and taped it and i just wanna say its MUCH better than i expected!!!!! Omg, it was so funnyyyyyyyyy! The first thing i found really funny was when Bridget came downstairs and Paul saw her thong and said "Maybe that's why your generation is so angry.....you always have wedgies!" And i thought it was HILARIOUS when Kerry was in a bad mood and Paul says "Are you having your.....Are you on your.....is it your...." and then he says "BIRTHDAY?" Oh that was funny!!!! And his convo with "Chatroom Jesse" was funny too.
"Yes it me, dawg!" But i think the funniest, funniest part was right after Kerry says no one asked her to homecoming and then Paul has a talk with her and Kerry says "Do you think I'm pretty?" N that whole thing starts and then Rory comes downstairs and Paul is sitting on the couch. Then Rory says "Dad.............do you think I'm pretty?" Then Rory starts laughing and Paul says GET OUT!


I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!! WOOHOO I LUV U JOHN U ROCK!

oh by the way did anyone watch regis and kelly yesterday at 10? JOHN WAS ON!!!!!!! And he talked about the Three's Company telefilm!!!! And then they showed this tape of him in 1967 when he was on the dating game coughcoughcoughhewaskindahotttttcoughcoughcough! And OMG Regis and Kelly tapes in New York City.....and thats only 45 minutes away from me........so that means John was only 45 minutes away....... *faints*

Anyway, i can't wait for next weeks episode!

I thought it was OK. It was pretty funny. They sure made it clear what the series was going to be about, but I really do hope not every single episode is like this. They're going to need more variety, or people are going to stop watching. I'm just one of those people who can't judge off one pilot episode, lol, but so far it looks good. I liked the part where Kerry is asking Paul if she thinks she's pretty....and then after a lot of consoling.... "Yes, I do think you're very pretty." She kind of smiles at him and then, "What do you know, you're like 100." That cracked me up. There were other parts that made me smile, but that was the one part where I actually laughed out loud.

I liked the show a lot...didn't love it. I think it was sort of annoying how John Ritter was so obsessed with his daughters and their whereabouts. I hope that isn't the big premise, because I think it will wear thin fast with viewers.
It had some very funny scenes, and I enjoyed it. It's great having John Ritter back on TV.

I finally got a chance to watch the tape last night.
I thought there were some funny moments, and the cast was pretty good.
I'm sure Kelly Cuoco (Bridget) will become very popular. I see a cover of Maxim somewhere in her future.
I hope they feature Katey Segal more in future episodes. It's nice to see her doing something other than Peg Bundy.

All in all, pretty good.

Thumbs up

I saw it a couple of days ago and it was great. Maybe the columnist was having a crappy day when he wrote the review.
