That is awful...

Huge fan of this man, He paved the way for Physical comedic sitcom characters like Kramer.Very sad.


Seems like all the greats are passing away...Charles Bronson, Robert Stack, Gregory Hines, Bob Hope, Katherine Hepburn ...Awful.But we all have to go sometimes.

[trevaine]

Wow. Someone please post another thread in the music section for Johnny Cash please.

This I can't belive I'm shaking as I right this. I havent felt this way about a celibraty death since aaliyah died. I was a truly big fan of his and I loved his show alot. I cant believe he's dead, I was just planning on watching the season premire of 8 simple rules in 2 weeks. I am truly truly saddened now. This just sucks.

(CNN) -- Actor and comedian John Ritter has died unexpectedly after he was rushed to the hospital for a "dissection of the aorta," his publicist Lisa Kasteler told CNN.

Ritter, who would have turned 55 next week, was the star of the ABC series "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter."

:( He was one of my favorite people in Hollywood. '8 Simple Rules' was awesome and 'Stay Tuned' was one of my alltime favorite movies to watch :( bleh

[Grindie]

John Ritter was class... wait, maybe i'm mixed up a bit. He is the guy that was in IT and Problem Child, right?

[sabin26]

Yeah I heard this morning on the Radio that he died. '8 Simple Rules' was a great show and 'Stay Tuned' was great. Don't forgets 'Problem Child'.

R.I.P. John.....you will be missed.

[teewee1432]

yes

[teewee1432]

I am really saddened by this. I was a big fan of him and his work. Just yesterday I was at a critics screening for the new fall television show season and I was hyped up about watching the 2nd season of 8 simple rules because that is one of my favorite shows. But with his sudden death who knows the fait of the show and cliffod the big red dog in which he also provided the voice.

R.I.P.

[dr_evil]

:eek:

:waa:



man this is really sad news :(

[teewee1432]

I fell your pain dr.evil.

[Coming Soon!]

The two John Ritter threads have been combined. This is indeed a very sad day.

[sabin26]

I just remembered that John Ritter was in probably the most horrifying mini series for everybody when we were little............IT

[sniktawt]

Let's not forget Three's Company, The series that made him.

I thought he was great in Bride Of Chucky as well.His Son, Jason Ritter was in Freddy VS. Jason Right ?

[sniktawt]

I wonder if 8 Simple Rules will still be produced...When Redd Foxx died in 1991 his show the Royal Family continued but it's not the same.


Terrible news.Very sad day indeed.

[sabin26]

I don't think they could pull the show off without him. Look what happened to Newsradio after Hartman's death. It wasn't as good.

[dr_evil]

yeah i dont think it will continue:(

i wonder what it is like on the set there today
it must be horrible:(

and the sad thing is that that show was a really big hit:(
and there is no way they can continue:(
because the dad was the main chartacter

[Kris Hodgson]

Really shocking. I had to read the article twice just to comprehend it. I still can't believe it though.

[slinger]

Did I wake up in the Twilight Zone?! I went to IMDb as I do everyday and saw the headline that Jonny Cash had passed away. No real shock, since his health has been in the news of late but just below it said John Ritter had died. I had to read it again and thought that it had to be some other actor.

Just a sad thing. I didn't watch his show but I did watch Three's Company when I was young (early 90s). The last time I saw him on TV was him being the second guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He talked about how his testicle was visible for a brief second in a episode of TC and that it is now edited but back then nobody had VCRs (pause/slow) so it went unoticed until some diehard fan reported it. Very memorable show. :(

[jediknight]

It was just a month ago when he bouncing around the stage on the Teen Choice Awards :(

[Darrin1]

This is one passing of a celeb, I did NOT wanna believe. I grew up watching John Ritter thru the 70's classic TV show Three's Company. He expanded his talents thru some great movies from Stay Tuned to the very odd Nowhere. John is enjoying new sucess on ABC's 8 Simple Rules and man this show will not be the same w/o him.:waa:

[ILOVEKATIE]

wow, such sad news, Three's Company will always a be a classic, i love that show, the guy never failed to make me laugh.
R.I.P.

[Skinny]

im just in total complete shock right now... first i hear that Johnny Cash died... and now John Ritter!?!? What the hell is going on!?!?

[Skinny]

this indeed is a very sad day...

[Skinny]

Lord,

May his passion for comedy do you good upon the gates of heaven... continue to watch over him as he rests upon your eternal light... so long John...

Amen

[JediPaul]

That's sad to think that he was only 54 years old.

I'm not too familiar with his work but he did a great job in the episode where he plays Joyce's love interest and turns out to be a killing robot in season two of Buffy.

[scifi guy]

Wow this really sucks. Such a funny man (RIP)

[Steve125]

Really sad news. Everyone I know was talking about it, I wouldn't figure most 17 year olds would know him or any of his work but its definetly got everyone a little upset. I didn't believe it when I heard it. This sucks, 8 Simple Rules was a great show too!

I know what you mean

R.I.P John :(

[Neverending]

This is truly a sad day. I'm a big fan of him and his show Three's Company.

[todd philip]

very sad!

i was a fan of his movies, problem child 1 and 2, and stay tuned!

[Hitman]

I never met him but he always seemed like a fun guy to be around.

R.I.P

[Diablo23]

what a sad day... :(

R.I.P John

[beemanbone]

He was universally loved

RIP

[darthspielberg]

Lord,

May his passion for comedy do you good upon the gates of heaven... continue to watch over him as he rests upon your eternal light... so long John...

Amen

Amen.

May God Bless his family. This is so damn sad. Why him?

R.I.P JOHN RITTER :(

He was great in sitcoms and horror movies alike :clown:

[DalOwnerx3]

What's really tragic is that I heard an interview with him that was done last year about 9/11. 9/11 has bittersweet memories for him - the attacks that took place that day were about death and his daughter who was born that day represented life.

And now this. He died on his daughter's 5th birthday.

[teewee1432]

I heard about that two about his daughters birthday, everyone was talking about it on my job today, and I still can't believe that he's gone. this will take some time to get over. As far as his show goes I was a huge fan and I rarly missed a single eposode and was awaiting season 2. Man I just cant believe I said was, I cant believe that this is it. But I dont think that they can contiue the show without him. They should air the eposodes they already shot because I read that they shot eposodes up untill halloween. After they are done the show should be over, I dont see how they could go on.

R.I.P John once again.

[HotBoy]

I'm just now hearing about this, and I'm shocked!!! "Three's Company" was one of my all time favorite shows.

John Ritter RIP, and Godspeed!!!

[Neverending]

RIP Jack Tripper

[italianstallion]

that sucks, in his latest tv appearences he seemed very healthy
but i guess he wasnt. at least he will be remembered in a good way. the same thing happened to my dads friend, last year on new years eve my dads friend randy seemed healthy as a horse one minute and the next minute he collapsed and was dead.
life is not fear to the living, but those who go to heaven are happy as hell.

[lotrfreak]

It is just so sudden and shocking. I was watching some footage of him from only a couple of days before he passed away and its justweird to see him in perfect health, then find out he's dead.
He will be sorely missed

[Dione]

This is just too sad. I had the biggest crush on him when I was a little kid, and lived to watch Three's Company every day at 5:30.

[AniAmi14]

:waa: :waa: :waa: :waa: :waa:

[Dione]

I now understand why my mother can't watch anything with Michael Landon in it anymore. She loved him, and since his death, can't handle watching him, it's too upsetting. I happened to flip by an episode of Three's Company, and when I saw him, I felt my heart just drop. I wonder if I'll ever be able to watch it again.

[teewee1432]

It will probley take some time for you to get over it Dione. I know I'm still going threw it myself like alot of people are. I watched his tribute show on abc this tuesday, and will watch his show and tape it when it premires next week. But it's gonna be hard.

[Night Fright]

No one will ever forget John Ritter! I almost cried when I heard he died. He will be sorely missed :waa: :waa: :waa:

RIP John Ritter 1949-2003

[sniktawt]

I watched a Three's Company Matrathon Tribute on John Last Night, He was Brilliant and he is sadly missed.
