Thumbs down 8 Simple Rules: unoriginality at it's worse

8 Simple Rules: unoriginality at it's worse

Because I'm such a bastard, no spoiler space tonight (10/22/04) for
people on the westcoast...

Quote:
An under-aged (under 16) Rory takes the minivan for a joyride to the
mini-mart and crashes it and... blah, blah, blah (Cate blames both her
daughters and yawn).
F**k, unoriginal television. Can't stand (fake) "reality" TV. Sick of
recycled plots. THIS is why I turn to Fox's 'Arrested Development'.

Grandpa figures it out and corners Rory on it and he confesses
(surprise, surprise)... to grandpa at first. More blahs and it all works
out in the end (again, surprise, surprise) and Martin Spanjers STILL has
such an ordinary, ordinary (no nothing) face. So, same time, channel
next week?


Quote:
I stopped on it briefly to hear "You wouldn't have done this if your father
was here."
Technically, that's correct, as John Ritter's presence allowed
the writers to vary their plotlines and writing styles as well as John's
uncanny ability to ad-lib added strength and power to the script. Plus his
presence on-screen helped to carry the show
, bringing in viewers who still
remembered him from "Three's Company" and his other bodies of work.

I agree. How could someone say that '8 Simple Rules' is pointless? They're trying the best they can under the past circumstances of the show. If you want to talk about pointless, let's talk about 'A. D.' . I never watch Fox network. Why that show is still on, God only knows.
