8 Simple Rules - The Complete First Season (2002)

Am I crazy?

I keep watching "8 Simple Rules" over and over on the Family Channel, and am saving this DVD (and future ones, I HOPE!) for the time when they no longer show them on the Family Channel. Problem is, I keep getting flak from my daughter and husband who can't understand why I watch the same shows over and over. Aside from the fact that I'm in my 50's and forget a lot of what I see, it's because this show was so totally laugh out loud funny. Never have I seen a sitcom that had so many hilarious lines in each episode. And, I think James Garner's addition to the cast more than made up for "Papa H's" absence. On that note, though, I never saw a cast member's death treated so realistically and poignantly as it was in Season 2 of this show. Please, hurry up with the release of the rest of the seasons! Absolutely one of the best sitcoms EVER! July 16, 2008

John Ritter was really a star

If you want to celebrate the life of John Ritter, this DVD is what you are looking for. He was a comedian and the 1st season of 8 Simple Rules shows him in one of his funniest works. Ritter plays the father of two teenage daughters who have regular teenage problems but the show works it in subtle humour and Ritter's over-jealous and bossy character on the show makes it much funnier. I was also surprised to see how great Kaley Cuoco is doing, too.
You could a little sad to know that John Ritter passed away on the set of this show during the second season but like I said, if you want to celebrate his life, this product is a good way to do so. May 26, 2008

Spade funnier than Ritter

This season is OK but I think that David Spade is funnier than John Ritter. A funny program with real teen problems.

Both Seasons are great - too bad they ended it due to Ritter's passing. April 21, 2008

8 Simple Rules DVD

This is a great series. John Ritter was in his usual top form and so funny, it was delivered here within a couple of days. Great Job Amazon. April 8, 2008

8 Simple Rules: The Complete Frist Season

As everyone knows 8 Simple Rules was on ABC 1 in the UK before Disney decided to pull the plug on the UK network channel. The show brighten your day every day and is belly tickling funny so when it was withdrawn from are screens the British public was in shock (well all my friends) and the days became dark again....

But the Gods of Disney have decide to put the first season on DVD! The show is the most funniest thing that I've have ever seen on TV! This show is so good that I can promise you your never get board of it.... I know that in 10 years time I still be watching this DVD!

Another great this is that Season Two is coming onto DVD too! but there is not a release date yet so it makes buying this DVD even better.

However if you live outside the USA like I do, you need to make sure your DVD player is set to region zero (any country) to play this DVD. It does play on Ubuntu Linux with the codec installed. March 31, 2008
