Hello Everyone...

How are you? I set my VCR to tape the special at 9 instead of 8.. You can imagine how upset I was with myself after looking forward to seeing this special. I was hoping that onme of you who taped the special could please send me a copy. I would be happy to mail and blank tape and send for postage. I appreciate your help.

well, i was going to tape it, but i only got to see the last half, (my tv/vcr is also screwed up!), but omg, it made me cry!! then later i watched the et tribute on vh1, and that also made me cry. its almost like his death is only sinking in now, and its affecting me greatly. i just wish i could have met him, just to share 10 minutes with him. his personality shines through in everything he does, whether giving autographs, or giving his all while filming an episode. hes the type of person everyone wants to be, and the type of person everyone wants to be around. i just feel honored that i got the chance to know him through his tv shows and movies. how many other actors leave such a mark on the world as john ritter did? i will certainly miss him....

I watched it too, but couldnt tape it (I didn't have any tapes

). It was such a nice tribute to John, and yes I caught my self crying at times when Joyce Dewitt talked about him and Henry Winkler. Then I really cried when Katie Sagell (spelled her name wrong, sorry) and the kids from 8 simple rules talked about John. It was sad, but nice to see so many people love John.
