Hearing Kaley Cuoco (Bridget) talking in an interview years later about the last words John said to her was probably the most heartbreaking for me: after he already told on set that he's sick, he came by her dressing room and told her that he loves her and that he wants to be sure that she knows that and then leaves.
Henry Winkler couldn't believe it when he was told "We lost John." After being told John had died, Henry was just devastated. They'd been working together that day on "8 Simple Rules."
The way Kaley says "I just want my dad back" . . . say what you like about her acting ability but if ever there was a real feeling of loss put into a scripted line, that's it!
I lost my father when I was 9 years old. This mont its another aniversary of his death, and there is not a single fucking day that I wont want him back.
I loved John Ritter, he seemed so real and genuine with so much talent, heartbreaking episode, I'm sure the pain of losing him was very real to the actors on the show 😢💕
That episode was so heart 😭 wrenching it bought tears to my eyes. Just shows how fragile life is and that we have to be grateful for every day that we wake up.
I lost my dad back in may of this year. He passed away right in front of me. So I totally understand how Bridget feels. No matter how much I want my dad back he can never come back,
This episode captured grief very realistically very well...it was after he died that the show turned into a dramedy about loss and grief and learning how to deal with the loss of a loved one.
They had an interview with his widow Amy Yasbeck some time after John had passed. She'd mentioned one night that she was with her daughter as they were playing a Clifford The Big Red Dog computer game(John had voiced Clifford). Amy said that upon hearing her father's voice say "Good job!" for getting a question correct, she jumped to her feet, looked up to God and yelled something along the lines of "DROP HIM!!" or "GIVE HIM BACK!!".
@@dawnofdestruction7381 I think his daughter now has an angel walking every step with her. His grown kids too. I never heard or saw anything about booze, drugs, cheating, etc. like almost all celebrities. He was a good person with a big heart. So rare these days.
You know what's kind of messed up. If John Ritter doesn't pass away, then Kaley Cuoco never becomes a star. When John Ritter died, the show's ratings dropped significantly. Instead of only going 3 seasons and then getting cancelled, 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter probably would have gone 6-8 seasons. If that happens, then Kaley never gets the part of Penny on Big Bang Theory and never becomes a star.
It’s fucked how one tragedy led that to happen, she still could’ve been a star if this show continued for 7-8 years had Ritter not passed but she definitely wouldn’t have gotten to the heights she’s reached without being on Big Bang theory
I lost my dad back in may of this year. He passed away right in front of me. So I totally understand how Bridget feels. No matter how much I want my dad back he can never come back,
This episode has also taught us to be careful with what you say to those you love because but sometimes, you never know when it could actually be the last time you'll see the person you love. I know how hard it is to lose loved ones because I've lost loved ones and got one more chance to say I love you. We might not mean what we say to those we love unintentionally, but sometimes, we do. Life is too short, appreciate life, your friends and your family and more importantly, always tell your loved ones I love you every chance you get, because once they're gone, no matter what you say, how much you shout and cry, they will never hear your voice again because remember, you can only talk to whoever you love while they're living, not when they're gone because by then, it's too late and you will never be able to fix whatever you said ever again, sometimes people wish they can go back and fix everything of whatever they said to those they love, even if it is just to for a second chance to apology, but sometimes we don't get a second chance.
Yes this episode my family so many things that we don't get second chances when my mom passed I knew that was harder on us she always kept saying one day I'm going to be gone and you're a good miss me and she was right she was right
Yeah, after my dad died, some people told my mom, "it's part of God's plan," and that PISSED her off. You should never imply that God's plan involves killing or disabling the people you love.
and sometimes if we get a second chance, it would have been better off if we didn't. Back in April 2020, my wife and her adult son had a major fight and they hung up the phone in disgust. I tried calling to talk to her son and he told me to stay out of it, he would talk to his mother when he was ready. The next day, my wife had a major stroke. It couldn't have happened at a worse time because COVID was shutting down the world. I was able to get into the ER only because I had to make a life and death decision; whether to operate which had little chance to succeed and was unknown how much damage was done, but they knew it would be extensive. Because of the fight the previous day, I told the doctors to go ahead despite knowing my wife would not have wanted it if she was going to be incapacitated. She survived the surgery and spent the next three months in the hospital. She never regain the ability to walk again, had limited use of her hands (as in she could barely feed herself) and her mental capabilities were that of a five year old. She remembered I was important in her life, but never remembered why. Her son visited a couple of times and he tried to apologize for the fight, but all she wanted to do was play with his hair and her teddy bear (yes, it was that bad). Her son finally told me he appreciated why I decided what I did, but wished I just had let her go. He was now worried she was going to spend the next 10 plus years like this. Thankfully (and I don't care what anyone thinks of me for this opinion), she didn't last another year. She passed in January 2021. So sometimes trying to get the "second chance" can only make things worse.
I remember crying during this episode. John Ritter was a wonderful actor and man. My great-uncle Bill worked for his dad Tex Ritter doing a job for him and met John who was just a little boy and he called him Uncle Bill. My uncle said he had a feeling John would grow up to be a success and he was right.
John was amazing. Thoughtful, intelligent, funny, handsome and genuinely kind. He was a decent person that did his job so well. He left a hole in the world that will never be filled. RIP to a Beautiful Man. ❤
This really hit home for me. I too lost my dad a few years ago and quite shockingly, he was a huge fan of John Ritter. It's funny too about that because I forever wonder what he would think about my liking for John after all these years.
Mission accomplished. I'm sobbing. This song gets me every time. I lost both my parents very unexpectedly and still haven't completely come to terms with it. Watching these clips from the show is just an extra tug at my heart. I can relate to their emotions ..... And to cry for THEM too. They were more than just a cast on a TV show. They are a family- they are not acting here. They are grieving . John Ritter was way too young to leave us .I remember hearing the news the night he passed I thought it was a sick joke ....of course we always say that but the fact that he died on his daughters 5th bday is exttra cruel .. . He was a gem.,so many of us grew up with him . My heart goes out to everyone who's lost someone ... Just a reminder . Never let a day go by without telling your loved ones w How much they mean to you. Don't let anything go unsaid. We just never know how much time we have with them..our loved ones are the only important things in life. Cherish them, good times bad times and everything in between onc they are gone they are gone. Forever. ( Though I do believe in the after life. It feels like an eternity without them while we are still on earth . Treat each other well guys !
It's November now, always a rough month for me being that both my parents passed in November(my mom in 2018, my dad in 2022) I stumbled across this clip just browsing TH-cam and it hits me far more intensely than it would've seeing it back in 2003 when my parents were still alive.
@@ritchietodd409 aww I'm so so very sorry for you loss I hope you're okay . Please surround yourself with a good support system.plraae take care of you
Very sorry for your loss. My Dad died Dec.1, 1977. I was 18. I'm 64 now. I still grieve for him. My Mom died Nov. 18, 2010. 13 years ago today. I remember when John Ritter died. This song broke me today. 😢😢😢
This made me cry as well. I enjoyed watching John Ritter. It's still difficult to watch him in reruns after all these years. It's very bittersweet. Plus, shortly after John's passing, I lost my own Father on 11/26/2003, the day before Thanksgiving, which was four months after I lost my Grandmother. There are some things that you don't forget. Or get over.
Why did I just watch this again and again. This had me crying my eyes out. I miss my mom she passed in 2010 and my brother/ best friend die in 2019. I miss them so much.
This episode is so heartbreaking to watch. It still makes me cry. He was so beloved by everyone. I don't think I ever heard people say bad things about this wonderful man. So sad he died. I loved him on threes company and 8 simple rules. After he passed away this show I couldn't watch it. It wasn't the same. He was the show. PERIOD!! John ritter was a true comedian and beloved man. 🙏
I can't imagine it either. I was almost 50 when my dad died suddenly in May 2021 after a heart attack. All that week I'd been angry with him over the stupidest thing. So yes, losing Dad was a kick in the guts. I have to live with the fact that things were unresolved between us. But I will miss him forever.
Especially after having lost my dad at a young age this video hit me so hard. The last thing I said to my dad was that I'll see him in Texas. He died in California while I was living with former friends in Texas. I was so shaken by the phone call because I never once told him that as his son I loved him.
Stop telling people that when a loved one dies that it is "All part of God's plan". That is the 100% absolutely, CRUELEST thing you can tell someone. You are telling them, that the God that you CLAIM "loves all his children", has planned for them to experience the most incredibly painful thing one can imagine. I have literally witnessed someone say that to a young couple, who had lost their newborn daughter less than a week after she was born(they were regulars at the store.) I have never wanted to beat the life out of someone so badly as I did then. Instead, I told that women to get out of my store and never come back. Let a family grieve, don't tell them that God wanted to destroy them. That doesn't scream out "loving God"...it screams "Sadistic Asshole". Just stop it.
These words are brutal for everyone who experiences something terrible. For a longer period of time i was sexually abused as a child and everything caught up on me as an adult. I got really sick and everyone kept telling me the "It's gods plan" bullshit. No, God has nothing to do with it. Bad things just happen and you have to learn to deal with it.
Some people genuinely believe that God is in control of everything that happens on Earth, so if someone dies, it must have been His will or it was their time to go and that nothing could have prevented that. Don't hate them for that. They aren't trying to hurt anyone. They're only trying to justify it. Death isn't the end though, for those who have faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, it's a transition into a much better spiritual life.
Tbh it's why I just kinda hug the ones who lost loved ones, cause I feel like anything like "I'm sorry" or "it's apart of gods plan" or anything like that just would upset them even more. Hell I know I'd be a wreck. So I think the better thing to do is just hug them. Hold them and love on them, silently to just let them know, they are not alone. Atleast that's for me.
so relatable, i think everyone has that one person in their life who they loved dearly but to whom their last words were less than friendly and they would give anything to change it
Si Jhon Ritter no hubiera muerto esta serie hubiera seguido y sería una de las mejores. Ritter era un grande de la comedia, pudo ser un serie épica. Pero perdió al principal. Que triste.
It hit me hard hit home on spot, it's coming up on 17 years ago I lost my biological mother to cancer and I still live with regret and nightmares of the last words I said to my birth mother and it was I HATE YOU!
This song has always made me cry ever since the first time i heard. It reminds me of everyone i lost and how i wished i had just one more day with them
Goes to show you that life is short and is so damn fragile. Enjoy it while you can with the people you love and please tell them you love them each and every day. You never know what tomorrow is gonna bring. 🙏
The scene before the show starts, when katey sagal tribute to john, I found out that she hold her left hand with her right hand to stop the shaking, that hit me hard and made me cry like a baby. The irony is, couple of months ago, I was trying to find a comedy show to easy up my life, and I decided to watch this show, but it turned into tragedy, I was not expecting that. but still I'm so lucky o find and watch this show, few moments ago I finished watching all the 3 seasons. I'm so mad about the ending, they didn't give the show what it deserve, John was the live of this show, the show was not the same show without him, the cast was incredible to move on with the show, to be honest I never thought they could save the show, C.J and the grandpa kind of saved big part of the show but not entirely. anyway. what a journey that I wasn't expecting. I'm going to miss this show.
It will be 2 years next month that I lost my dad. He had cancer and in the end I couldn't go see him anymore. He was so week and that wasn't my dad. The day before he died, I got to talk to him and say goodbye😢 I will cherish that conversation forever
Anyone else sobbing like a baby here? I’m thinking of and missing my Grandma, who was also my best friend and therapist while I was being bullied all through elementary school. Rip Grandma 😢❤️🤲
Remember everyone, their tears and their reactions were real cause it was just so sudden. John Ritter was a wonderful and funny man I grew up watching Reruns of Three's Company ( still do) and he was just funny, he died way to soon. R.I.P John Ritter we still miss you to this day. 😔😓🕊
I wish Two in a half men took Charlie Harper’s death more seriously, and i know John Ritter actually passed away, respect to 8-simple rules for a realistic heartfelt script instead of chasing small laughs. Sometimes life gets real.
Well it made me cry 😭 I enjoyed this show and John Ritter was taken way too soon and Reba you made me cry 😭 even though I am a male you made me cry 😭 my heart goes out to John Ritter's family and his friends and all the actors and actresses that had the privilege of working with him
Now that I think about it, the kitchen in this show is the EXACT same as the kitchen in the George Lopez show 😂 only this show has a back door instead of the hallway and this show has a living room instead of the backyard in GL. Both ABC shows, I’m willing to bet it’s the same set 😂
Unfortunately, when we don't control when the time is, but we do control the time, that is make sure to make the most of it with love in your heart and a smile on your face
You succeeded. What happened to John Ritter. Who only near the end got the critical praise he deserved all along. A good man and a great actor. Too soon. Just too soon...
I've watched this video a couple of times over the years. But my Dad died suddenly 2 months ago and it hits even harder. Cate's speech at the end really got me. Because that's how I felt about my Dad
R.I.P. John Ritter. We all love you and miss you. You gave all of us countless years of entertainment and laughter. Your talent and comedic timing will always and forever be in our hearts. God Bless you John. 😭😭.
Can't believe it's been 20 years since John Ritter's passing. Just lost 1 of his Three's Company co-stars, Suzanne Somers, a month ago the day before her 77th birthday. John himself was 6 days shy of his 55th birthday. I remember when this episode 1st aired. I remember crying when I 1st saw it & when I 1st found out he passed away at such a young age. May John & Suzanne rest in eternal love & peace. They are terribly missed.
This episode came out after my dad passed away and I had the hardest time handling this. It teared me up.
You can feel that the actors were not acting in this episode... kudos to the producers and everyone involved. RIP John.
Exactly!!
For sure. Their emotions were 100% genuine
When I found out that John Ritter passed away on the show and in real life I started crying
The two sessons of the show after John Ritter passed proved that he had carried the show.
Kaley wasn’t really acting. She and John were very close.
Watching katey sagal on here as a housewife and then on SOA is so crazy
Family business back in swing on the road so far
He died in the same hospital he was born
YOU MADE ME CRY!!!!
I don’t like Dr Pepper psych
Hearing Kaley Cuoco (Bridget) talking in an interview years later about the last words John said to her was probably the most heartbreaking for me: after he already told on set that he's sick, he came by her dressing room and told her that he loves her and that he wants to be sure that she knows that and then leaves.
Sounds like he knew he wasn't gonna be around much longer.
That should always be the last thing someone close says to you.
@DaveRave (AKA DAVE GØRDØN) Kind of shot holes in your point there since you were obviously alive enough to post........
DaveRave- you lie. No one here believes you. you read your long winded speech, or saw it in a movie.
Please stop
Her name is Penny not Bridget
The way the dealt with his death was with the utmost respect. Ritter left so many people sad. A massive impact on entertainment despite genre.
He also played JDs dad on scrubs around this time. They did a great episode as well in his memory
Henry Winkler couldn't believe it when he was told "We lost John." After being told John had died, Henry was just devastated. They'd been working together that day on "8 Simple Rules."
The way Kaley says "I just want my dad back" . . . say what you like about her acting ability but if ever there was a real feeling of loss put into a scripted line, that's it!
I remember this episode oh man it made me cry
I lost my father when I was 9 years old. This mont its another aniversary of his death, and there is not a single fucking day that I wont want him back.
Totally agree
I lost my dad this past December, I’m 18, feeling a lot of emotions watching this.
RIP John Ritter he was such a class act 💔
When I heard John Ritter had died I couldn't believe it. He always seemed so full of life onscreen, and had such a quick wit.
@@sharonjensen3016 i watched the ep the cast say they didn't want do it anymore .
@@Micky-wq1gw I think that’s why the show was canceled cause no one could handle it anymore without him 😢
I loved John Ritter, he seemed so real and genuine with so much talent, heartbreaking episode, I'm sure the pain of losing him was very real to the actors on the show 😢💕
That episode was so heart 😭 wrenching it bought tears to my eyes. Just shows how fragile life is and that we have to be grateful for every day that we wake up.
One of the last great family shows. I remember when this happened. Excellent episode and tribute to John. May he rest in peace.
"I just want my Dad back!". Me too Bridget, me too! :'(
Same here
Same here I lost My Dad Last Year 4/24/23miss Him Everyday 😢😢😢😢😢
This is so sad. My Dad died the same day and year as John Ritter.
I still use this to help people navigate through grief. Thank you Katey for leading us all through this heartbreaking moment.
I’m sobbing 😭
Bridget’s mourning and break downs and the moms hit me hard
I lost my dad back in may of this year. He passed away right in front of me. So I totally understand how Bridget feels. No matter how much I want my dad back he can never come back,
@@kathrinekathrineI know this was from 2 years ago but I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you’re doing well.
A great song for a great man. I hope you're resting peacefully, wherever you are, John.
One of the greatest actors. Thanks for bringing so much laughter and joy into the world John. Years later and your still missed.

You just made my eyes wet ...
He passed on their daughters birthday you know...it was also the anniversary of 9/11 and also my dad's death...every year I pray for that little girl
@@dawnofdestruction7381 I think his daughter now has an angel walking every step with her. His grown kids too. I never heard or saw anything about booze, drugs, cheating, etc. like almost all celebrities. He was a good person with a big heart. So rare these days.
This song was played at the end of the movie 8 seconds. Me and my dad watched that movie and then two weeks later he passed. This song hits hard
Rest in Peace John. Thanks for bringing laughter and joy to world.
You know what's kind of messed up. If John Ritter doesn't pass away, then Kaley Cuoco never becomes a star. When John Ritter died, the show's ratings dropped significantly. Instead of only going 3 seasons and then getting cancelled, 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter probably would have gone 6-8 seasons. If that happens, then Kaley never gets the part of Penny on Big Bang Theory and never becomes a star.
It’s fucked how one tragedy led that to happen, she still could’ve been a star if this show continued for 7-8 years had Ritter not passed but she definitely wouldn’t have gotten to the heights she’s reached without being on Big Bang theory
As someone who lost her husband young (he was 45, I was 36) I felt that last scene so much. Life isn't fair, it can be down right cruel.
This episode broke my heart as a kid! The emotions are still so raw till this day! I’m still crying as I write this! 😭😭😭
I lost my dad back in may of this year. He passed away right in front of me. So I totally understand how Bridget feels. No matter how much I want my dad back he can never come back,

When she runs out and you hear the girls saying "mom?" Shatters my heart every time.

Stop telling people that when a loved one dies that it is "All part of God's plan". That is the 100% absolutely, CRUELEST thing you can tell someone.
You are telling them, that the God that you CLAIM "loves all his children", has planned for them to experience the most incredibly painful thing one can imagine.

I have never wanted to beat the life out of someone so badly as I did then. Instead, I told that women to get out of my store and never come back.
Let a family grieve, don't tell them that God wanted to destroy them. That doesn't scream out "loving God"...it screams "Sadistic Asshole". Just stop it.
These words are brutal for everyone who experiences something terrible.
For a longer period of time i was sexually abused as a child and everything caught up on me as an adult. I got really sick and everyone kept telling me the "It's gods plan" bullshit.
No, God has nothing to do with it.
Bad things just happen and you have to learn to deal with it.
Some people genuinely believe that God is in control of everything that happens on Earth, so if someone dies, it must have been His will or it was their time to go and that nothing could have prevented that. Don't hate them for that. They aren't trying to hurt anyone. They're only trying to justify it. Death isn't the end though, for those who have faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, it's a transition into a much better spiritual life.
Tbh it's why I just kinda hug the ones who lost loved ones, cause I feel like anything like "I'm sorry" or "it's apart of gods plan" or anything like that just would upset them even more. Hell I know I'd be a wreck. So I think the better thing to do is just hug them. Hold them and love on them, silently to just let them know, they are not alone. Atleast that's for me.
Spoken like a true atheist.
@@jeffrecob8646 You spelt "realist" incorrectly.
Why do you want to make people cry?
I said I was sorry 😅
so relatable, i think everyone has that one person in their life who they loved dearly but to whom their last words were less than friendly and they would give anything to change it
there isnt a day that goes buy when i think of mr ritter and how he made always made me smile whether it was on tv or the movies i still miss him
Stop lying
Panta Rei 83 ??
Is that Penny from the Big Bang Theory?
Yes
One of the most heartbreaking moments in TV history.
Miss that dude... Grew up watching him on 3's Company... Pure talent and a legend
Si Jhon Ritter no hubiera muerto esta serie hubiera seguido y sería una de las mejores. Ritter era un grande de la comedia, pudo ser un serie épica. Pero perdió al principal. Que triste.
Was a great show, with a GREAT actor, MISS you, John Ritter, R I P.
If you’re going to try and do a tribute, you should at least take the time to get the name of the frickin song correct.
I grew up watching three's company, and I looked up to John Ritter. He was kind, funny, and , by all accounts, a great man.
Same here. I never heard anyone say one bad word about him.
It hit me hard hit home on spot, it's coming up on 17 years ago I lost my biological mother to cancer and I still live with regret and nightmares of the last words I said to my birth mother and it was I HATE YOU!
This song has always made me cry ever since the first time i heard. It reminds me of everyone i lost and how i wished i had just one more day with them
Goes to show you that life is short and is so damn fragile. Enjoy it while you can with the people you love and please tell them you love them each and every day. You never know what tomorrow is gonna bring. 🙏
The scene before the show starts, when katey sagal tribute to john, I found out that she hold her left hand with her right hand to stop the shaking, that hit me hard and made me cry like a baby.
The irony is, couple of months ago, I was trying to find a comedy show to easy up my life, and I decided to watch this show, but it turned into tragedy, I was not expecting that. but still I'm so lucky o find and watch this show, few moments ago I finished watching all the 3 seasons. I'm so mad about the ending, they didn't give the show what it deserve, John was the live of this show, the show was not the same show without him, the cast was incredible to move on with the show, to be honest I never thought they could save the show, C.J and the grandpa kind of saved big part of the show but not entirely. anyway. what a journey that I wasn't expecting. I'm going to miss this show.
This hits me so hard
Especially after the accident I recently had and the way my dad helped me
We cry because people had a life together and now passed. It is had to watch movies with his sons and at the same time happy.
The title of the song is “If I Had Only Known”, not ‘know”.
It will be 2 years next month that I lost my dad. He had cancer and in the end I couldn't go see him anymore. He was so week and that wasn't my dad. The day before he died, I got to talk to him and say goodbye😢 I will cherish that conversation forever
This is the most I've ever seen of this show. I don't know when it premiered and Idk when it ended.
Anyone else sobbing like a baby here? I’m thinking of and missing my Grandma, who was also my best friend and therapist while I was being bullied all through elementary school. Rip Grandma 😢❤️🤲
Remember everyone, their tears and their reactions were real cause it was just so sudden. John Ritter was a wonderful and funny man I grew up watching Reruns of Three's Company ( still do) and he was just funny, he died way to soon. R.I.P John Ritter we still miss you to this day. 😔😓🕊
I wish Two in a half men took Charlie Harper’s death more seriously, and i know John Ritter actually passed away, respect to 8-simple rules for a realistic heartfelt script instead of chasing small laughs. Sometimes life gets real.
Well it made me cry 😭 I enjoyed this show and John Ritter was taken way too soon and Reba you made me cry 😭 even though I am a male you made me cry 😭 my heart goes out to John Ritter's family and his friends and all the actors and actresses that had the privilege of working with him
RIP, John Ritter. he was the life of the show.
Another birthday remembered and another passing year. John Ritter: 9/17/48 - 9/11/03.
Now that I think about it, the kitchen in this show is the EXACT same as the kitchen in the George Lopez show 😂 only this show has a back door instead of the hallway and this show has a living room instead of the backyard in GL. Both ABC shows, I’m willing to bet it’s the same set 😂
Heart breaking 💔 😢 😪 😞 😔 😭 💔 😢 😪
Rip 💔 😢 😪 ⚘️ 🌷 🙏
John Ritter 😢 will miss you forever 😢 💔
From Montreal Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦
This show was so damn good. Katy Segal and Ritter were perfect. There was so much potential
Unfortunately, when we don't control when the time is, but we do control the time, that is make sure to make the most of it with love in your heart and a smile on your face
Well it worked 😢😢😢😢😢
You succeeded. What happened to John Ritter. Who only near the end got the critical praise he deserved all along. A good man and a great actor. Too soon. Just too soon...
I've watched this video a couple of times over the years. But my Dad died suddenly 2 months ago and it hits even harder. Cate's speech at the end really got me. Because that's how I felt about my Dad
Tomorrow is never promised. Always watch what you say to your loved ones out of anger.
R.I.P. John Ritter. We all love you and miss you. You gave all of us countless years of entertainment and laughter. Your talent and comedic timing will always and forever be in our hearts. God Bless you John. 😭😭.
you sure did bring tears to my eyes.
Not sure how you forgive yourself that's the last thing you say to them.
I watched this as a child and that part always fucked me up
I always hated people putting things off on God's plan, as if that really helpepd anything.
Watched 1 year after my mum passed away and felt all the feelings Bridget "felt"
After his death the show definitely changed.
It’s a shame that John Ritter is Gone then He was a very good man 😔
That was so so sad, every time I watch the episode I can't help it 😢😢😢😢😢 RIP
Beautiful tribute treated respectfully by you. Thanks
You succeeded. I cried
It's a beautiful song that Reba sang
Can't believe it's been 20 years since John Ritter's passing. Just lost 1 of his Three's Company co-stars, Suzanne Somers, a month ago the day before her 77th birthday. John himself was 6 days shy of his 55th birthday. I remember when this episode 1st aired. I remember crying when I 1st saw it & when I 1st found out he passed away at such a young age. May John & Suzanne rest in eternal love & peace. They are terribly missed.
This was both heartbreaking and memorable
It really breaks my heart to hear about John Ritter.
My cousin died unexpedly on february 11th
It worked 😢. RIP John “ Jack Tripper “ Ritter. Grew up watching you. You are totally missed.
This episode is so amazing sadly he was amazing acting rip to one of best acting 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
