8 Simple Rules: The Complete First Season (DVD, 2007, 3-Disc Set)

"8 Simple Rules" was a popular ABC nighttime comedy series when it premiered in 2002. The show's first season starred John Ritter (Three Company) and Katy Sagal (Married With Children) as parents trying to raise their teenage daughters and their son. Unfortunately John Ritter passed away before the series was able to complete it's second season. DVD is from Buena Vista Home Entertainment. The DVD includes all 28 episodes from the shows first season on three discs.

I bought this DVD because I like watching reruns on ABC Family. I have watched this show since it aired, and the first season is hilarious. This DVD set also includes a special behind-the-scenes blooper reel. All 28 episodes are gathered in a 3-disc set. Starring: John Ritter (Three's Company, Problem Child Series), Katey Sagal (Married...with Children, Futurama), Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory), Martin Spanjers (Two of a Kind), & Amy Davidson (So Little Time). This is a great show for the whole family. The show is both entertaining and unique. The rivalry between teen sisters Bridget (Cuoco) and Kerry (Davidson) is so real, they could pass as real-life siblings. Rory (Spanjers) is the younger brother who vies on tormenting his sisters. Cate (Sagal) is fun to watch as the mother-figure especially after her seeing her on Married...with Children. And of course, John Ritter's character, Paul, the father-figure, is hysterical. The problems he faces with his teenage son and daughters can really be compared to problems real people face today. Buy this set. It's worth every penny, and more!

I bought this DVD collection on eBay recently but I haven't received it yet so I can't comment on the actual DVD collection. I do however just love this show and God Rest His Soul have always been a John Ritter Fan. Since I can't seem to catch enough episodes of 8 simple rules on ABC Family I just had to get this first season collection. I'll be Looking for more seasons to buy as well. I like David Spade too, but of course he could never take the place of John but I find he brings a different feel of comedy to the show. Both are good in my opinion just different.

"8 Simple Rules" was one of the best sitcoms on tv. It saddened me that John Ritter died after the first season. This first season is filled with both comedy and family issues that brings all those watching to see the entire episode and continue wanting more.

First of all I have to say I have a Crush on the character (and actree) Bridget...okay well thats over...I bought this DVD because I loved this show! I watched it when it first was on ABC TGIF! I love the characters! It is basically about a father who stays at home to take care of his kids. He have a popular and sexy daughter, an outcast, loner, to emotional middle daughter, and a prankster of a son. This TV is very real and deals with High School problems. I missed this show when it went off air but I continue to watch it on ABC family. Now its on DVD...I am very happy! I have to say I only like the first couple of season because after John Ritter died they replaced him with David Spade (Who i dont think is really funny...sorry!). But seriously watch the first couple of seasons! this is such a good show!
