John Ritter Dead at 54

Billy the Kid · 09-12-2003, 03:35 AM

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.

Rest in Peace John...

).

The BEE GEES are DEAD?! WHAT THE HELL!?

*That Matt Guy* · 09-12-2003, 12:11 PM

I think one of them died, but they only have the listing for the group and not the individuals.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-12-2003, 01:19 PM

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.

*cqb101* · 09-12-2003, 01:48 PM

Man, I heard about this while I was gettin ready fro school...this really sucks! I loved John Ritter, and "8 simple rules"

RIP, John.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-12-2003, 02:00 PM

Wow, that came outta nowhere.......

Kinda sucks, he was on Conan recently, he was pretty funny.

I usta watch 3's C when I was a little kid, too.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-12-2003, 02:04 PM

RIP Johnny and John.

Only brings me to this question: Who's next?

Peanut · 09-12-2003, 02:10 PM

Yeah I watched him on Conan too. He seemed fine. It just goes to show you. Here today gone tomorrow.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-12-2003, 02:11 PM

Who's next? That's a good question.......

John Madden?
Johnny Depp?
Jonathon Taylor Thomas?
John McCain?
John Elway?
John Travolta?
John Malkovich?
Johnny Knoxville?
John Cleese?
John Cusack?
John Leguizamo?
John Stamos?

I fear for them all.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-12-2003, 02:13 PM

Me too...Especially John Leguizamo.

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