Which Johb Ritter Role Do You Prefer Jack Tripper Or Paul Hennessy?
I Prefer Jack Tripper.

It's no contest. Jack Tripper was the best role he ever played and I liked his other roles too.

Well Jack Tripper is a legendary sitcom character. Paul Hennessey is not. However, I love both roles. This would be easier if it was between John Hartman (from Hearts Afire) and Paul Hennessey (8 Simple Rules).

I'm voting for Jack, I just wanted it known that I'm a fan of 8 Simple Rules.

Jack Tripper is one of the most iconic characters in sitcom history, plus John Ritter played the character for almost a decade. He only played Paul Hennessy a fraction of that time - though of course, that couldn't be helped. I do have a feeling that had John Ritter lived, 8 Simple Rules would still be on the air today - and thriving.

Without a doubt Jack Tripper. That was his best role ever!

Jack Tripper. One of the best characters in television history, in my opinion.

freshprinceofLA · 08-22-2007, 03:52 PM

By far Jack Tripper. John unfortunantly died too early to tell if Paul Hennessy was a great character.

I have no doubt that it would still be on today. I'm assuming they would have kept it on Tuesdays, rather than move it to Fridays. Watching the DVD for season 1, I realized how great the show was and how much I miss it.
