Default Pilot airs 10/14!

Don't miss it. I believe ABC will air new episodes in Nov. during sweeps but I could be wrong.

Last I heard "Come and Knock on Our Door" will air next Tuesday, 10/14. According to Jim will air 10/21, two new episodes, at 8pm and 9pm. I think the pilot of 8SR will air on 10/28. Then possibly the one hour episode where Paul dies on 11/4. 10/28 and 11/4's episodes are not official yet.

What's this "Come and knock on our Door"? Is it one of the episodes from 8SR? Does anyone know how they're having Paul die on T.V.? Will it be the same way as he did in real life?

Yes, episode 16 from last season. The one with the Three's Company spoof.

That schedule looks great. "Come and knock at our door' was one of the series best episodes and the pilot aired so long ago, it will be like watching a new episode.

Won't it be wierd, watching the past and present T.V. life of John knowing he'll never walk through those doors again. My God, it's so depressing.

It will always be depressing. Three people off of shows I watch died in the last year. 8 Simple rules will never be the same.

What other people died in the shows you were watching. Until John Ritter's death, I have to be honest, I really didn't pay attention.

Trevor Goddard of Jag died of a drug overdose and Lynne Thigpen of the District died suddenly last spring. Goddard was no longer on Jag although they had a clip honoring him on the season premiere. The District wrote Thigpens death into the show having her die in a car accident. That was a hard episode to watch. I've been a John Ritter fan for years so his death was a complete shock. Its just been a sad year.

Wow. I don't watch those shows, but I'm also a huge John Ritter fan so I know how you feel losing all those people. Isn't strange watching them on T.V. knowing there really not here anymore? It is for me. I really wonder how his wife and kids are dealing with this. I wish they would have something about them. Not to be nosy or rude, just to know that they're okay. Know what I mean. I wonder if his wife has any clue that his fans are still upset and she's not alone in feeling that. I wish I could send her a hug.

How old were the people that died? I mean was it unexpected like John's death? Either way, it's just sooooo sad. The way people come and go in life and make such a lasting impression. It's also a shame that only after they go, people realize who they were and what their life was with this person in it. I took for granted watching 8SR, allthough I never missed Three's Company's reruns for nothing. Now I wish I would've seen them all.

OOps. My mistake about asking if the deaths were unexpected, I just reread what you wrote and saw there was a drug overdose involved. How old was he? Did he have a family?

I was in tears watching the John Ritter marathon on tv land a few weeks ago and thats unusual for me. I can now watch his shows again and laugh some but I;m sure when they start airing the show without John, it will hit me again. I'm sure his wife knows how his fans feel at least I hope she does.

I know, I really wonder how the cast will be able to go on. I mean, from how they talk, he wasn't just a cast member, he was their "family member". How hard it's gotta be for them, and then to try and it get past it and continue the show. I wish them the best of luck and hope they'll be okay doing it. How did the other shows do after those other people died? Or were they not the star of the show? It doesn't matter, it's still a loss to the cast and has to be hard to go on.

Trevor Goddard was 41. Lynne Thigpen was 54. They were both unexpected. Lynne died of a heart attack in her sleep. They weren't the main stars of the shows but Lynne was probably the heart and soul of the District. She was the person the cast went to with there troubles. The District has made a point of keeping her memory alive. They show her empty office, shown a picture of her and last week even had her voice used as the program ended. That was eery. Jag never adressed Goddards death other then the clip at the end of the premiere because he had already left the show.
