It was an hour long cry fest.

Personally I enjoy flashbacks
though...

Subject: [Sndbox] Warm Welcome for
'Rules' Return
The producers, writers and cast of 8 Simple
Rules for Dating My Teenage
Daughter were being congratulated by the
critics today (Wednesday) for
mounting a tasteful one-hour special dealing
with the death of John Ritter's
character, Paul Hennessy. (He died of a
heart attack at the grocery store.)
Associated Press writer Frazier Moore
called it a "lovely episode" that
"rose to the sad, unsought occasion."
Matthew Gilbert in the Boston Globe
congratulated the writers for avoiding
"gauzy flashbacks" and montages and
suggested that the most jarring element
of the show was the commercial
content, "taking us from family sorrow to
promises of side-splitting laughs
from Will Ferrell in Elf." Alessandra
Stanley observed in the New York Times
that it "was done as tastefully as
television permits, blending scenes of
sorrow with wry touches of comic
relief." As expected, the episode delivered
an enormous audience -- a 14.9
rating and a 22 share -- giving ABC a rare
win for the
night.
