Based on a popular W. Bruce Cameron column, '''''[[8 Simple Rules''']]'' is your basic [[Dom Com]] where Paul and Cate Hennessy (played by [[Three's Company|John Ritter]] and [[Married... with Children|Katey]] [[Futurama|Sagal]]) attempt to ride herd on the burgeoning love life of their teenage daughters, bookish Kerry (Amy Davidson) and promiscuous Bridget (Kaley Cuoco). Rounding out the family is son Rory (Martin Spanjers), who is Paul's only other source of testosterone, and thus they bond often.
 
The premise was good and it worked well... until the show was [[Reality Subtext|derailed]] by the death of John Ritter. The resultant [[Retool]] brought in Cate's cantankerous father Jim (James Garner) and slacker nephew C.J. (David Spade). Because of Ritter's death, the show's name was changed from the quirky ''8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter'' to simply ''8 Simple Rules''. The rating also took a plunge shortly after episodes dealing with [[Real Life Writes the Plot|Paul's death]] and it was cancelled within two years.
