8 Simple Rules is a comedy series that premiered on ABC in September 2002. It had a series run of three seasons with its series finale airing in April 2005. The show followed the Hennessy family as they navigated the ups and downs of life. Viewers watched Paul (John Ritter) and Cate Hennessy (Katey Sagal) as they raised their three very different children.

While filming for the second season, Ritter suddenly passed away, leaving the series’ future unknown. The show went on hiatus for a while before picking back up with Ritter’s character exit being that he was killed off. James Garner and David Spade later joined the cast as Jim and C.J., Cate’s dad and nephew, to add to the show.
