Donna and I were never big fans of 8 SIMPLE RULES... over on ABC. It was one of those shows we'd catch if nothing else caught our interest. Neither a great show, nor really bad.

Naturally, like millions of others we were curious and saw found ourselves watching what would be the first of the last three episodes of the show in which John Ritter would appear. Ritter was a delight and we actually found ourselves laughing, forgetting for a few minutes that this man was no longer with us. It will be a much different show without Ritter, and I don't know how much humor will be in the first episode which deals with his passing. For the next couple of weeks, we will put that aside and watch the man once again display the talent that brought him fame, if not fortune, on the small screen.

I'm not familiar with either Teri Polo or David Sutcliffe, so I had no preconceptions about I'M WITH HER. It's an old plot, most recently brought to life in the Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant film, NOTTING HILL. Sutcliffe is Patrick a highschool teacher, who is bitten by a dog owned by Alex (played by Polo) an internationally known actress. While both seem immediately smitten, Patrick realizes that Alex is way out of his league, but Alex decides that she'd like to take a chance with someone outside show biz. Zany antics ensue, as someone once said. It's a harmless enough show and certainly worth another watch to see where things go from here.

It seems to be the last season for FRAZIER, but Donna and I still enjoy this show and it's one of our 'must see' programs each week. The season premiere appears to bring things back to status quo, with Ross back as Frazier's producer and poor Fraz, once again without a romantic interest. The twist this season is that Daphne is pregnant so we'll probably spend the rest of the season watching the entire cast going through the usual pre-birth antics we've seen on hundreds of shows before. Still we love the characters and will stick around until the final show.

Tonight....WEST WING!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!
