Reviews

tanja-ica At the beginning I liked the show and it was funny, but the longer I watched I got frustrated about the "take home message" of the show! Intelect, knowledge and hard work is (apparently) not something which will help you in live, and even worse- they constantly mocked on Kerry! On contrast, the show promotes that one will get away with just good looks and nothing in your brain. In the end, this show is giving a low self-esteem to those kids who are trying to make something out of their lives. And this is not all- the mother figure- which is supposed to correct such behavior is actually supporting the dumbness.. I really can't watch this anymore..very very VERY disappointing!

Taylor Kingston I absolutely love this show. It is so funny. I watched it when I was younger and when I realised that the oldest daughter, Bridget, is played by Kaley Cuoco, who also in Charmed and The Big Bang Theory, it was so funny. I was like "oh, it's her!" I love this show. And I was heartbroken when one of the main characters died in real life. It was so sad when they aired his final episodes, and had to cast him out of the show. I think this show is a funny idea. It's basically about this family. A Mum, a Dad, two daughters and a son, who all don't get along. The Dad is very protective of his girls and is very hard on anyone who tries to date them. He really does have 8 simple rules for dating his teenage daughters. I love the Grampa in this show as well, he is so funny. I was quite sad when the show was cancelled after its third season and I think that is mostly because of the main character's death. But, a fantastic show, and well worth a watch.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I have not read the book that this was based upon/inspired by. This being some of(the others are film roles) the last work of John Ritter(RIP), one hopes that it is hilarious. And it is. Almost every time he's present in this, as a matter of fact. Most of the cast, supporting as well as regular, play off each other well, and the material tends to be great. He plays Paul Hennessy, the father of three teenagers: Rory, the typical guy of that age, Kerry, the depressive middle-child who fights for causes and awareness, and Bridget, the fashion-loving, popular ditz. Sagal makes a return to being the female lead in a sit-com, and her character is far removed from Peggy Bundy. The show changed somewhat after Mr. Three's Company passed on, and for a while, they couldn't seem to make up their minds if they wanted to go for getting laughs, or being poignant and making sure to be respectful. One can wonder how or why it lasted for so long after that: It could still be quite good, some of the additions were fortunate(if you like David Spade, most of his part consists of him doing his schtick) and had stuff to say. My personal favorite episode is in the last season. The humor is a nice mix of "dumb person" jokes(mainly related to the high-schoolers), silliness, dark comedy and crude material. This dealt with sex and other adult topics, but never in a graphic manner. The language is mild, and, on occasion, moderately strong. I recommend this to any fan of those who made it. 8/10

kclambeth Eight Simple rules started as a very entertaining series. I love John Ritter and his character Paul Hennessey and the relationship he had with his children was the best part of the show.I have always preferred Kerry to Bridget, Bridget has been done before, Kerry is quite unique and i can relate to her in many ways, although i'm not sure i like the direction her character went in later series.Early episodes were fun, good simple teenage plots about Paul and Cate disciplining the kids, however i think the show lost it's sparkle when John Ritter died. I admired the cast and crew for wishing to continue the series but when he died, i felt the programme did to. To me the whole point of the show was based around the guide of the '8 simple rules of dating my teenage daughter' it was written by a real man with teenage daughters and the relevance and the angle of the show had changed without the Hennessey dad.Bridget seemed to get more annoying, Rory stayed the same and Cate was always giving her offspring life's lessons which before seemed funnier when it was all left to Paul. I think the Granddad is funny (Especially when he's watching Great escape) but feel C.J is unnecessary to the show. He is funny in parts but I felt the story lines at the time of his arrival were very similar to other American comedy series. Over all the newer ones aren't bad just missing excitement and does anyone else find it irritating that Cate works at the school and C.J and Granddad's always there too? I would always recommend this show to friends as it was very strong at the beginning and well worth watching for Paul and Kerry, but later ones were about average at best.
