Actor John Ritter, the son of Country Singer Tex Ritter, best known as Jack Tripper in the sitcom Three's Company died of a dissection of his aorta last night. He was 54 and would have turned 55 next week.
Three's Company was one of my favorite sitcoms and this is very sad news. So damn young too.
Although I haven't really been watching his new sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, I did see him in March when he hosted the first annual TV Land Awards.
RIP John. :cry:

We here in Tennessee are mouring the loss of Johnny Cash. Why, I pass by the House of Cash every day to go to college and today the flag was at half-staff...it's sad that he died, but he's with June now.

My bet is on Knoxville. Maybe Madden. He seems to have a heart attack everytime someone mentions football.

My bet on who's next:
Bill Gates
But I bet there'll be parties in the street when that happens. They'll probably make a national holiday: YAY! BILL'S DEAD! day....

heh, he's probly got a thing in him, so that when he dies, all the windows-controlled computers around the world will crash...
Reznorite420
09-12-2003, 04:05 PM
Hey! There's an idea! Save money on fireworks by just letting all the computers explode.
And the Xbox price will go back up... :x

As some of you know, I was away at the shore. But I did manage to watch some tv while I was there and caught the news report of Ritter's untimely death. It pains me to see such an amazing actor leave us in his prime. :tcry: :tcry: :tcry: :tcry:
