Paul(John Ritter) dies off - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have just heard that John Ritter will die on the show. He will be on the first 5 episodes and then they will go on hiatis and write in his death. Thins is what I have heard to be true in the newspaper.

Thats correct except he will only be in the first 3 episodes of the season. They will write his death in episode 4.

It was a typo i meant to say 3 episoeds and i was thinking of a different show with a character. Sorry

That sucks. John was the main actor and now they kill him off. How long does 8 simple rules have left?

We'll know soon. They will probably get good ratings this fall but when America Idol returns I don't know if they can survive. I hope they do.

I really think they need to kill Paul's character off and just end the damn show! It just would not be the same without John.

It's a shame too because this show was so young (as well as John) And i had hoped it would have lasted for at least 8 years.

I don't believe you guys! It upsets me to think that fans of John Ritter wouldn't be willing to give the show a chance after his death. The other actors are just as talented, and by catching the premiere this week, the episode focused more on the daughters, and I thought it was great. Yes, he died, yes we all miss him and are sad, but give it a chance! He would want the show to go on, as I do. I think they are doing this out of respect for John. Sorry, but I think people have just gone overboard on his death. I love the guy, he's my idol, but I am doing what he would he do: I am sticking to the show.

Ill still watch the show after they write John off, if I didnt its like saying to the rest of the cast youre nothing without John, and thats not the truth at all ... all of them together made a perfect combination,

Well said, my sentiments exactly.

It'll be so weird without him, but I'm definately going to keep watching it. I really like this show, and I know that John would want it to keep airing.
