While not my favorite actor, he was still hillarious on Three's Company.

RIP John.

Post by: LePaul on September 12, 2003, 08:39:55 AM: Wow, he was recently on Conan O'Brien the other night (same night as Dana Carvey and Ted Nugent)...he was hilarious...I'd never thought too much of him as an actor. But after seeing him and Dana Carvey goofing off, I was nearly in tears...what a pair those two were.

sigh! Too young

Post by: Wanker on September 12, 2003, 08:56:15 AM: I always thought he was a decent actor, and pretty versatile in the roles he took. My son watches "Clifford, the Big Red Dog" every morning, which he provided the voice for.

Sounds like his heart condition could've been cured had it been diagnosed. How sad.

~~and R.I.P.~~

Post by: Udie on September 12, 2003, 09:01:24 AM: anybody ever see that movie he made with Jim Balushi? Where he trades a glass of water for "the good package" and not the "Big gun"?

S! thanks for the laughs and the memories! You will be missed....

Post by: Udie on September 12, 2003, 11:42:45 AM: yes it was :) I saw it just a couple of months ago on HBO. Dang the more I think about this the sadder I get. Three's Company was a HUGE part of my childhood. I liked it better than Happy Day's even.

What a shame :(

Post by: rpm on September 12, 2003, 12:21:10 PM: Wow. I always liked John Ritter, he was never my favorite but, I always enjoyed his work. Three's Company and Real Men were the 1st roles that popped into my head when I read this and I just watched Tadpole the other night (good movie). With all the scandals that come out of Hollywood, I don't ever remember him being involved in one. He was a good guy and will be missed. :(

You know I got to thinking about this, this morning. I have no clue weather John Ritter was a liberal or a conservative, and I like it like that! I can ASS-U-ME that he was a liberal, but you never know. He did his trade, comedic acting, and he did it well. He made me happy, never made me angry or never dissagreed with me :) He did his thing and was successful at it.

He will definitely be missed, didn't realize how much until today :(

I can't even drive a car that far without stopping to smoke and eat.

(Serious: what did you do to quit?)

I had tried many times to quit only to start up again. I finally decided I wanted to. Pretty simple really. I know its hard but really its just a matter of that. Do you want to quit? If you do then quit. One thing I did that helped having carrot sticks in the fridge at all times. When I felt the cravings I went for them. But in the end it was just a matter of wanting to quit.

Post by: Swager on September 12, 2003, 09:07:08 PM: I liked the series "Hooperman" where he was a detective and owned a apartment building in NYC left to him by a who was killed on the first aired show.

John Ritter was a classic. He'll be missed

Post by: Glasses on September 13, 2003, 02:32:26 AM: Sad thing is he was in the peak of his revival I didn't think he was particularly the most funny guy out there but you could tell he was a good guy and he deserved this good fortune, until he died suddenly.

Sad really and spooky too I also saw him in Conan with Carvey and Nuget I thought he was going to kill them both but it was a funny show. :(
