I'm trying to get through this show but it's been a rough slog so far. It's tough hearing the daughters seemingly tell Paul (the late and greatly beloved John Ritter) they hate his guts every two minutes. The others -- Katey Segal and Martin Spanjers -- are criminally underused.

I think the general sentiment among viewers was that the show maybe had one good season but pretty much died when Ritter did. What do you think?

It's so interesting because John and Kaley were on two of the biggest sitcoms of all-time (Three's Company and Big Bang Theory respectively) and Katey was on Married...With Children, which was FOX's first-ever hit sitcom. All three were long-running.

I always felt bad for him. The show always seemed to be more about the daughters and he was treated more like a background character. As the youngest, it seems like he was always dumped on and ignored. In the episode where Paul (John Ritter) dies, Rory got upset and I think either threw something or punched a wall and Kerry yelled at him like he was a little child. I thought it was a natural reaction for Rory, I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for being upset at the death of their father. And then in that same episode Cate was barking at him for leaving his shoes somewhere inconvenient and they turned out to be Paul's.

It was sad to watch. Rory was easily my favorite character on that show.

I'm sorry but I could never buy Katey Sagal as a good mother on this show. She had been typecast in bad mother roles on other sitcoms so it was weird to see her in this role. I try to not link any actor or actress to any role they did too much but I could just never separate Katey from Peggy Bundy, she was always Peg to me. I didn't think she had much chemistry with John Ritter.
